More kids will see Biden ads in neighborhood lawns than they ever will in the game. This is clearly aimed at adults who play Animal Crossing, of which there are likely millions.

Seems like a ton of adults play this game, I'd like to see the demographics
You are jumping to a shitload of conclusions to make your point. Many of us did not dismiss her allegations off the bat, but as more holes appeared in her story, it became much harder to give her the benefit of the doubt. And you're being very disingenuous claiming none of the inconsistencies had to do with the actual accusation.
it's really cool how you have to choose from two sex pests to be the most powerful person in the world

I'm just commenting on what I see posted on this forum. The vast majority of support, according to the content here, is in support of Biden rather than the other way around. Overwhelmingly. There are almost no more posts in support of Reade, that's not jumping to conclusions lol.
If you're talking about inconsistencies surrounding her memory of the accusations, it's very common that victims misremember crucial details, often in ways that don't seem to form logical situations. Ford encountered the same thing and was trashed for it, by republicans. Similarly, democrats tore apart every part of her story from building layouts to how unlikely she could be raped in the underwear she described. Many of these repulsive takes were repeated on this very forum.
There is still content in this thread that remains unactioned, in which she is literally called a Russian puppet.
There were plenty of people who defaulted to not believing Reade even from the beginning.
It's really not hard to make my point because it's so damn obvious why things happen the way they are. It's politically motivated. Unless you actually think if we were talking about a prominent republican we'd be seeing the same takes.
We wouldn't be.

That is literally the opposite of what happened. What a garbage assertion.
AC is like the dumbest example you could have used, like pretty sure the majority of the player base is over 20

Sorry bro, politics are everything when the other side is endangering life itself.
I'm a teacher. My partner teacher last year is in her 50s and hadn't touched video games in something like 20+ years. She picked up a Switch and AC in the spring because why not, nothing else was going on, and now has somewhere around 400 hours on it. It was phenomenon among the staff this summer. I'm sure we're not an isolated case either.
holy shit I would actually watch that. With the gibberish noise and everything
This is ridiculous, everything has politics, a lot of the most popular games have politics in them as it's main theme like Metal Gear, Final Fantasy VII, Bioshock, The Witcher 3, etc

Seriously, it's like gaming's version of "keep government out of my medicare!" Pathetic.
This. If Animal Crossing is a successful means by which the Biden/Harris campaign can reach even a small number of apathetic young voters, then great. There could not possibly be more on the line with this election. The US and any notions of freedom or democracy within its borders are toast -- perhaps forever -- if Trump doesn't get booted in November (and hopefully imprisoned in January, but I'll take what I can get).
Go revisit the threads when the accusation first came to light. You're not wrong that there were posters jumping on anybody believing her, but you'll also notice it's a fucking graveyard because of that. Now you're dealing with the second poster quoting you saying they were giving her the benefit of the doubt until more info came in. If you have an issue with a poster, quote them instead of making generalizations about anybody who does not currently believe Reade.
Honestly, I don't want to rehash the whole argument. I participated in those 50+ page threads and if you want to have at it, I suggest posting there.
I will say that everybody has their life experiences color their views. Your experience with abuse likely colors your view just as my experience dating a pathological liar who once told a friend I'd raped her probably colors mine. 🤷♂️
People very close to me have been abused and their stories have changed as time goes on, so I'm aware of what you're talking about. I'm not discounting that. But you shouldn't use that as a bludgeon to wave away any and all inconsistencies to the point where you literally will not allow somebody to come to a different conclusion.
Edit: In regard to the Russian puppet post, I already reported it. But it's not even close to being the first time this narrative has been pushed on ERA, it was parroted even by "prominent" posters.
I don't want to "have at it", I want to voice my support for someone I believe was raped by Joe Biden. I understand there are more than two people on this forum who "gave her the benefit of the doubt".
I'm not using shit as a bludgeon, and frankly, you don't know what it's like to be abused unless it happened to you, so unless that's the case, I'd suggest abandoning the direction you're going in. You're venturing into ignorance.
You have yet to even share what you mean about "inconsistencies", and the insinuation that Reade is a pathological liar is baseless and disgusting. Also, another tactic people often use to smear victims.
It's very clear from the bolded that you're not even reading my responses and posting nonsense, so let me quote what I said on the other page to you:

Just to clarify, I was referring more to keeping politics based on non-fiction out of games, which is the case in Animal Crossing. I appreciate that lots of games cover politics in some way, and I in fact enjoyed all of the games Roliq mentioned, but this particular instance with Animal Crossing just feels different.
Anyway, its just my opinion. I won't post further because some of the responses I've gotten feel aggressive for whatever reason.
Maybe if they stopped wasting time pandering to America's youth and actually fucking listened them, their poll numbers would reflect that. Nobody cares about stupid shit like this.
A random campaign worker taking 10 minutes to make some signs and qr codes doesn't affect anything, calm down. Also, their poll numbers are looking pretty damn good.
Who gives a shit if they do? Who gives a shit if Democrats do? If you go into a game and see something you don't like on an island you go to just leave and move on with your day. Sometimes it is as easy as that.
They're leading in the polls. And if Americas youth voted, maybe candidates would start listening to them more.
Nintendo won't accept any content about Trump. He has a bad reputation for a reason.
Tara lost credibility a while ago.
Sorry for being aggressive, is just that "keep politics out of games" is always used by alt-right assholes (which is their way of saying "keep politics i don't like out of games") while somehow loving games like the ones used above
But still, the thing here it's that these signs are done using the tools given by the game so this is no different from sharing your custom designs, plus is not like you are being forced to use them

lmao at supposedly leftist site resetera being interested in biden as anything but an unfortunately necessary evil
In fact, not a single employee &/or secretary who used to be under Biden has said anything negative about him, nor have they ever experienced sexual assault from Biden or could even corroborate Tara's story. That's very telling.
Just 7 other women who accused Biden of misconduct. Also Reade's accusation of rape was corroborated by multiple people over the span of years, even outside of her family
Clinton was up 12% at the same time 4 years ago. Not all polls have Biden wining, he doesn't have the young vote, he doesn't have the progressive vote and he's lost a large portion of the African American vote. The man is more likely to crap his pants than make a coherent sentence, and where it not for the fact that so many people hate Trump with a passion, Biden wouldn't even be a contender.
Nah, already posted about this. Her accusations are not "debunked".
That's the opposite way of of how they should be thinking. America's youth was happy to vote for Sanders, because he was talking about legalizing marijuana, Medicare for all and removing student debt. What are Biden's policies? Why should the youth of America listen to him? What is he offering them in exchange for their vote?
She is not credible. Believe whatever you want, I guess.
Higher federal minimum wage, environmental protections, tax raising on marginal income over 400k/year, free community college, quadruple spending on low housing assistance funds, eliminating caps on green card issuances?
Every time someone says this shit it's just like you couldn't even be bothered to read a single thing about the candidates you're presumably supporting or denouncing.
All the polls have been adjusted this time around with better weighting. Again claiming they need to do better isn't the case here they are doing better than hillary by actually going where voters are. This is one of those things. None of these things you are saying make any sense. None of it is true.
Also fails to take into account Clinton rarely was hitting 50% and it was much more unstable in general where multiple times by now Trump was in striking distance.
But a good chunk of that post was MAGA/Trump talking points so I'm sure they have little interest in actually comparing the two polling situations.
I'll continue to believe people who come forward with accusations and strong corroboration (some accusations in which had been described by other women as well), compelling argument you've made here though
