Another thread poisoned by this war on nothing. I'm sick of this.
This is one of those threads where I want to comment, but get to page 3 and think "Oh boy, it's so not worth it".
Another thread poisoned by this war on nothing. I'm sick of this.
I'm not sure what you're trying to prove to me? What other forums are you talking about? I was merely saying the intent might not have been what that poster implied.And there are other forums you can go to that avoid this almost entirely.
Intent doesn't negate effect, too, this is the point. They should understand that.
I really like GR but I've kinda come to think that the initial reviews felt a lot more like they were from her perspective than the later ones. This is to say nothing about their authenticity or me complaining about her DECEIVING ME or whatever, but instead that I feel like the perspective has clearly shifted into actually highlighting his voice more than hers. Sometimes literally.
Oh, you're right I read one of your sentences wrong and thought you were saying "not everyone wants to have this conversation". My bad.I'm not sure what you're trying to prove to me?

Just put the people who are derailing every thread on ignore.But if people still want to talk about it, we should be able to without having to deal with the same comments over and over and over.
I never said it did...Oh, you're right I read one of your sentences wrong and thought you were saying "not everyone wants to have this conversation". My bad.
And, again, intent doesn't negate effect.
You're talking about intent of the joke, right? I'm saying that's not the point, because it still has a negative effect and people with a platform have a responsibility to understand this.
To be fair what is there really to discuss in these videos? They use the same format every week and just talk about different games. Unlike someone like Jim Sterling who is talking about relevant topics, there is nothing to really talk about because they aren't giving particularly unique takes. That being said they since they didn't actually signal boost some piece of shit in this video so I don't think we necessarily need to talk about this stuff every single time.
I was replying to someone that was talking about the intent of the joke. In the context of my reply to him, the intent matters because that was the topic. Personally I do see a different between this and someone willfully making a sexist comment.You're talking about intent of the joke, right?

Not sure where the confusion is here...

As I said, I have no issue if this crosses the line for you or anyone else, we all have our limits as to what we consider acceptable.
There is nothing to argue since I agree with you. I just didn't understand why you kept saying that. I'm away that intent doesn't negate the effect of something.There is obviously a difference, but there is also an effect regardless of intent. This being an open discussion, when people start speaking about their intent it's perfectly resonable for others to bring up the fact that intent is not the only factor.
So I don't understand why this is being argued.
But now you ignored the other interpretation you proposed.
The idea that petting dogs is a male fantasy is funny
I explained why I brought it up, I thought I was clear but maybe not.There is nothing to argue since I agree with you. I just didn't understand why you kept saying that. I'm away that intent doesn't negate the effect of something.
Anything beyond that, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree when it comes to this youtube channel.
Probably because after they started streaming reviews changed from the perspective of someone sitting in the background watching someone else play to someone co-playing/streaming the games.I really like GR but I've kinda come to think that the initial reviews felt a lot more like they were from her perspective than the later ones.

I wish I didn't have to, because most of these users are good users and I like to read what most of them writes here on Era. My problem with them is just when it comes to Girlfriend Reviews.
Exactly. As the situation changed, so did their presentation.Probably because after they started streaming reviews changed from the perspective of someone sitting in the background watching someone else play to someone co-playing/streaming the games.
Yup, basically if you want to discuss videogames without getting trapped in some kind of political vortex, you're out of luck.Man, every topic I see in this forum lately has some insufferable controversy going on.
lmao...Yup, basically if you want to discuss videogames without getting trapped in some kind of political vortex, you're out of luck.
It can be a bit much at times but when it comes to youtube personalities I'd rather Era let me know the deal. I'd have no idea people like Boogie or Johntron were bad people if Era didn't inform me. So I'll just have to deal with the times it happens and I disagree.Man, every topic I see in this forum lately has some insufferable controversy going on.
I glad you found someone to tell you what you should or should not consume.It can be a bit much at times but when it comes to youtube personalities I'd rather Era let me know the deal.

Nah just don't click itCan we just make a general OT instead off new thread for every video
It's a source of information that I assess on my own. If you read what I said, you'd see that I don't always agree with what Era says, as clearly stated in the post you quoted.I glad you found someone to tell you what you should or should not consume.
This is the only sane approach.Yeah, I think I'm done following the GF Reviews threads here and I'll just continue watching the videos every now and then since it seems to be of paramount importance for some users here that we know, at all times, without a shadow of a doubt, about how much they don't like a thing.
pretty sure her boyfriend writes all these, so it's only a female voice in the sense of voice acting?
Why are you on a forum if you don't like discussing things?Yeah, I think I'm done following the GF Reviews threads here and I'll just continue watching the videos every now and then since it seems to be of paramount importance for some users here that we know, at all times, without a shadow of a doubt, about how much they don't like a thing.
Why are you gatekeeping who should post on forums for what reasons they choose?Why are you on a forum if you don't like discussing things?
Why are you on Era when you know a lot of people here have concerns that are so distressing for you to read?
Asking them questions about their dilemma isn't gatekeeping, don't be ridiculous lol.Why are you gatekeeping who should post on forums for what reasons they choose?
No one is suggesting they're guilty by association... what is happening...

Yeah, don't support these people because they're definitely sketchy with who they associate with.
It's not that they're guilty, it's that those associations help support the people we actually have a problem with.
People will always discuss this. This shouldn't surprise you about Era, some of us have these opinions.
There's nothing to scroll on by when every single page is filled with your crap. You've effectively ruined the thread, congrats I guess?People will always discuss this. This shouldn't surprise you about Era, some of us have these opinions.
It's utterly bizzare that people don't get this. just scroll on by.
Now you're just being a needless jerk. Well done for moaning about people using the forum to disucss.There's nothing to scroll on by when every single page is filled with your crap. You've effectively ruined the thread, congrats I guess?
