What did we do?

I was talking about /v/ of course!

 

[marrec]

It's not about what I think of it or what you think of it. It's not about you. Let people be the judge on that. If people don't care about it, it's their choice. I cared enough to share that, I'm not expecting anything more. If it gets some attention, I'm glad. If it don't, more power to them.

I've been contacted by various people, far more important people than you (sorry, not so sorry) so it seems some care more than you, fortunately. This thread has also more than 4000k views in less than a mid-day.

By the way, aren't you that user too (thanks for the lad who brought that to my attention) :

For someone who think this story is nothing your sure spend a lot of your precious time and energy at convincing people this isn't worth any attention. Maybe you should just stop trying to derail the thread and find something more worthy of your time ?

Damn you really need this to be some kind of epic cover-up don't you? With you some kind of brave whistleblower weathering the storm of "controversy" lmao

Don't be surprised when literally nothing happens.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Don't be surprised when literally nothing happens.

This is a strange conclusion to your post, seeing how nothing/something happening has nothing to do with the truthfulness of the accusations.

Maybe nothing has happened in the previous times, but I'm pretty sure something is going to happen this time now that it is leaked.

 

[J-Roderton]

Hmmmmm.

 

[Celine.D.Sykes]

This is a strange conclusion to your post, seeing how nothing/something happening has nothing to do with the truthfulness of the accusations.

Something about "if it ain't big, it ain't true" rhetoric.

It's pretty clear some people will try to downplay the concern and the whole situation. For some it will be because they share the same mindset of those people, they think craving for underage people isn't a serious matter. For others, it will be because they're far deep into "websites" war and don't want their safe-place to be criticized or putting under some bad light.

That doesn't matter at the end, we're not the ones who decides whether something happens or not.

I'm sorry, what are the accusations again? That a few nobodies in an unofficial discord were discussing their gross proclivities and Cerium didn't take that seriously enough?

Damn, hotdogs and ketchup is doing work!

You’re just saying the same thing over and over. We get it. Can you go back to waiting out your ban on ERA instead of coming here and being a dipshit.

Don't ask me. The thread is available for you to read yourself. Begging the question doesn't make the accusations go away. Feigning incredulous disbelief doesn't make things untrue.

Something about "if it ain't big, it ain't true" rhetoric.

So... that is the accusations then?

Good luck with your holy crusade y'all

I think it was more that
1. Members of the site are discussing sex with underage persons
A. In view of Staff members
B. Complaining they can't say it on the site
2. Brought to attention of Staff Member. Was ignored by Staff member

There is more there of course. Thats the main I got from it.

 

[JORMBO]

So... that is the accusations then?

What I said earlier:

You don't even need to go on a super secret discord to endorse pedo shit on GAF

I hate ResetEra, but somebody has to say it. “Underage” doesn’t mean “pedo”. “Pedophile” is for PREpubescent children, generally aged 12 and below. Being attracted to 16 year olds doesn’t make you a pedophile. (Late) Teenage sexuality is neither illegal nor immoral, and fictional depictions of teenage relationships are entirely appropriate, given that it is a particularly formative time in people’s lives where fiction can have something worthwhile to say.

The amazing thing here isn’t that these admins are pedophiles (I didn't read extremely closely, but I didn’t see any evidence of this), but that they are engaging in behaviors and sharing opinions that they would dole out permabans for on their forum. They aren’t pedophiles, but they are hypocrites.

But lets pretend your above it Tyler.

Fuck off, creep.

It's funny to watch you melt down so quickly. Just a few posts ago you were trying to pull the whole "oh, I'm not fond of ERA either. Let's all be cool headed about this and not jump to conclusions" yet you've already escalated to this.

 

[marrec]

Fuck off, creep.

You mean, the guy on your site who is agreeing with the pedos on discord or me?

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

I thought this was a nothingburger, though?

Now it's "but GAF has the real pedos, not ERA!"

Ain't no pedos here before you entered.

I'm not surprised some people can get away with everything. It's like that most of the time, that doesn't mean we shouldn't speak about them or call them out.

Sqorin's post will be looked over and actioned as necessary. Deflect harder. Given that your sister was one of ResetEra's founding mods, we can presume you're in deep with them, hence the pathetic damage control on display here.

 

[Barnabot]

M marrec being like

 

[crowbrow]

I'm pretty sure many of the most vocal moralist reeetards are pedos and even worse shit because usually the most extreme prudish idiots are the biggest hypocrites out there. Having said that, nothing on those conversations I see being illegal. Although it should expose those to the wrath of the prudish reeee community since they ban people permanently all he time and cancel them for far less shit than this. Lol but who am I kidding, reeee is basically the Catholic Church v 2.0, bunch of moralist hypocrites trying to impose their morality on others while they're the biggest degenerates out there.

BTW, kiwifarms will have a field day with this lol

What about shit like this:

But remember, she has a young face therefore she is a child! /s

Did you know that 16 year olds can be classified as pedophiles?

16 year olds are minors, but they are not children. At least not sexually. Most places have the age of consent at 16, and in the majority of the US states, it is still legal for an adult to marry a 16 year old. Lots of people (most people?) lose their virginity by 16. It was 60% in my day, but I think Millennials it is down to less than a third. You think they are all losing it to people within a year or two of their own age? I'm very much against the criminalization of teenage sexuality. Teens have sex. They should have sex. Arguably, their bodies demand that they have sex. And they are old enough to decide who they have sex with.

He's a sex offender if true and if the laws where he lives define having sex with someone below 18 as illegal. That differs of course and you are legally allowed to engage in a sexual relationship with a minor in many places.

In Norway you can have consensual sex with a 16 year old. We don't view your right to consent as something given only once reach age of majority. Various ages give you various rights, including being of age to consensually agree to sex and not needing legal protection in terms of who can have sex with you. Meaning that the morality of the issue usually will vary depending on what country you're from. It's generally shunned or seen as pathetic to have sex with a 16 year old if you're an adult in Norway though. Funny enough, minimum driving age for cars is 18. In fact, age of majority/adulthood is generally tied to your right to vote and not other rights and responsibilities you might've gotten before said age. Heck, even as an adult you're restricted from buying liquor until you're 20 (meaning that while you might have full control over yourself and you can kill and fight in wars, you can smoke tobacco and vote, you can't drink liquor if you're not 20+). When you're 15 years old in Norway you're criminally liable, before that you have the defense of infancy. In the US criminal responsibility happens much earlier from what I've read.

I think what someone's trying to tell you is that a 16 year old doesn't magically turn different as a 18 year old. You're at that time evolved in terms of your physical body and reached adulthood physically. Meaning that a physical attraction shouldn't be viewed as someone attracted to prepubertal minors. That's why people always try to ask for ID when around people that look young, because you can't really tell the difference between a 16 year old and a 20 year old. My wife is 32 and she's aged rather well and is constantly asked for ID when buying beer or wine (meaning they think she might be younger than 18). The basis for the limitations in terms of having sex with adolescent kids is often based on maturity and viewing them as unable to properly understand and consent to sex with someone that's older. By limiting who they can have sexual relations with, the intended effect is to limit older people from preying on them by unfair status, especially as women tend to seek older partners. It's all an interesting subject and generally it will vary a lot by culture how it's viewed and the legality of it will also differ. There's even talk about raising the age of majority/adulthood, and it has been higher in the past.

Seems like there are a lot of questionable people on here Tyler, I hope you take these accusations more seriously than Cerium.

Well, I think there it is.

I have to go for now. I hope this thread will get the attention it deserves and have some nice surprise in the coming days (like people showing they care and not just on this forum). Thanks for the support !

 

[DeepEnigma]

Hotdogs and ketchup, stop spreading Fiction.

Oh, oh that came out so wrong.

 

[Mista]

This is fucking disgusting! Good job though in exposing them

Cerium won’t do shit because he’s the most fucked up person between them and there’s proof

Bunch of psychos running a board you think they’ll listen to you? Definitely not.

 

[kbear]

Y'all living in a fantasy land lmao

Didn't you get cucked by your wife, pretending nothing was happening?

 

[EviLore]

What about shit like this:

AE appears to be talking about an adult character. Rokkan is talking about European laws, as a European, and not downplaying or advocating anything (he mentions that it's considered pathetic to go chasing after legal teens in Norway). Sqorin's post is pretty questionable with its framing, the mods will look into his post history and make a determination.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Welp, it was nice knowing you guys...

The tag makes it even better.

 

[CyberPanda]

I don’t know what to say. But, I’m honestly not shocked by these findings. Maybe it’s time for them all to go for a lil helicopter ride with Rodrigo Roa Duterte.

Yikes. End of an era.
Great job OP.

Yah, I'm happy I decided to finally account to suicide from that place. Fuck them.

Resetera and the pedo problem.

Sounds like the title of a mystery novel.

 

[Lady Bird]

So... that is the accusations then?

Two, from my perspective.

The worst one is that Era is protecting pedo behavior. This is a bit ambiguous at the time. The screen caps do not directly prove that, and some of the screens don't seem to be problematic when taken out of context/ analyzed in a vaccum. But the whole thing, when grouped together, does reveals some sort of fascination/ tendency towards that topic, due to how recurrent it is. That raises some suspicions, and is probably worth further investigation.

The lesser accusation is that, if nothing else, it puts to light (once again) how hypocritical Era is. They pretend to be the most self-righteous warriors of justice on the surface of Earth, instantly banning anyone at the slightest suspicion, yet allow this kind of conversation to occur in secret?

You mean, the guy on your site who is agreeing with the pedos on discord or me?

He's not agreeing with pedos, he's explaining that pedophilia is, in stricter terms, about adults feeling sexual attraction with prepubescent children (ago 12 or less). Which he's right, semantically speaking. That doesn't makes the situation less troublesome, though.

There's more questionable shit:

Because 16 year olds can consent?

I could comb through using search keywords like Celine (maybe I'll just hire them to do it I'm lazy) but I won't.

That's beside the point however, cause you know what I'm trying to say. Y'all wanna pretend this is a phenomena unique to an extremist liberal site like ERA when, in reality, it's pretty damn common online among weebs of all types and the only reason this is getting any play on GAF now is because it's accusations against ERA. They wanna play in this supposed gray area and claim plausible deniability through bullshit "age of consent" and "pedophile vs ephebophile" arguments. You wanna pretend ERA are hypocrites cause Cerium didn't take this seriously enough? Look at all the folks who agree with Sqorin right under your nose.

Trying to equate a long string of private discord conversations with random comments scattered across GAF is hilarious.

Feeling guilty, friend?
