All I see from you is bad faith assumptions, projections and shitposting. And people wonder why this forum is considered a toxic hellhole.You don't have to say something outrageous to catch a ban.
The discussion has already been had. You know this. You just want to reiterate lost points because you feel emboldened right now. You know moderation was fair. You just don't care because you were bit by it. Now you can safely attack back. Instead of you learning to do better you decided to stay quiet and bitter. You keep saying I'm the toxic one. It sounds like you're trying to reinforce a belief to yourself.
You feel attacked because you couldn't jive with the cool kids. They knocked you back for your shitty views. Accept that even today after the folks who you dislike have left and you cannot stop talking / thinking about them. Accept that the people you want respect from don't like you. I have.
NeoGAF did allow for discussion...but I agree that oftentimes it was impossible to discuss certain topics without being shouted down, even if you did genuinely want to talk and understand the other point of view.
GAF in the past year or so has REALLY had a witch-hunting problem. Part of that is because of the extreme political climate we find ourselves in (we have fucking Nazi's walking around for fucks sake) but it often went too far in the other direction.
And you say you post on GAF...I don't understand the outrage ?
A lot of people like that "far left echo chamber" though. There simply isn't many forums that is actually left leaning, even slightly left leaning. People call this thread a left echo chamber which isn't accurate.
I do agree, there were plenty of bans even I thought were not right, but majority of bans I seen and read through to figure out the context were well deserved in my view.
Pointless semantics. As is bringing up their continued relationship afterwards. Abusive relationships are a thing. The how's and why's they remained friends and eventually hooked up are immaterial to the incident in the shower and what that was. People stay in contact and maintain relationships with people they have unhealthy and down right awful interactions with all the time.
A woman sick and in vulnerable state, cornered by a naked man is frightening, he thankfully backed off when rebuked but then proceeded to treat her with contempt and scorn afterwards. Making her feel bad for refusing his advances and for feeling violated by the incident. Whether you prefer to label that assault or misconduct is rather pointless in the face of what happened and how it affected the victim. This shit doesn't occur in a vacuum, it's an every day occurrence for millions of women and it colors and affects all aspects of their lives and events in them.
His handling of the situation right now only furthers to make him look bad and add credibility to her statements and version of the events. His attempts to label her as mentally unwell to discredit her is just disgusting and cowardly.
willfully rejecting the fact that the users on this site politicized any subject they could doesn't make the truth go away. the site has a reputation for a reason.
the problem with off-topic is that it was one-sided discussion, and you're being dishonest if you think otherwise.
That sounds an awful lot like how gaf has always operated, which is fine I suppose if you were on the 'right' side.
I was being sarcastic. The people who complain about the lack of freeze peach around are just sad that no one wants to listen as to their thoughts about how the Jews invented rape culture.Nekketsu Kõha;252775920 said:So you mean he is a nazi or you wish you could be one yourself?
Sure junior,
But first tell me, in which things youll disagree?

Obligatory, before I go...
Evilore just shot himself in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about NeoGAF culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become president by being an pervert. If you sexually assault someone over on NeoGAF, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the NeoGAF members, after hearing about this, is not going to want to visit NeoGAF, nor will they follow Evilore's Twitter. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Evilore has alienated an entire market with this move.
Evilore, publicly apologize and resign from your post or you can kiss NeoGAF goodbye.

If you don't like it, you have other options. I and others don't.

I meant your bad faith assumption of posters motives, but you know that. Continue to act self righteous and oblivious.You drank too much kool-aid if you believe treating others with respect is toxic.

lol
you already made your point that anyone who thinks this could be a step in the right direction is a "MAGA user", so there's not much here to discuss. unless you have an actual argument to make, at least.
or perhaps you and others collectively like you can just settle down and not be wholly vitriolic to anyone who doesn't tow their line to you? surely this isn't a lot to ask for.
if you're looking for a one-sided conversation that only reaffirms your opinion back to you, I'm sure there's plenty of places on Reddit that will do just the thing.
Never came to GAF for Evilore so why would I leave it because of him? Glad it's back but banning political discussion in the age of Trump is terrible news. Only a matter of time before the racists filter back in on both sides.

Just a quick glance of one of your posts in another thread shows how you are one of those guys Trying to take advantage of the whole situation in order to steer the tone of GAF In your shitty direction
Sure because the right direction is to tolerate casual racism and bigotry.

Don't know about that. I've had plenty of robust political discussions with the likes of Crab, CCS, Quiche Fontaine, CyclopsRock, Huw_Dawson and many others from every part of the political spectrum - and (nearly) all with respect and good humour. That's in the UK of course.
If US PoliGAF seems toxic, then maybe it is because US politics is toxic.
Fucking nailed it there. He's been quite sly about it all.Sure because the right direction is to tolerate casual racism and bigotry.

Personally I think the attitude of members has been disgusting considering EviLore hasn't been found guilty of anything. I'm not saying he's guilty or not, I'm not in a position to make that decision. I hope that the people judging him never find themselves being falsely accused of a crime though, I assume they'd willingly lock themselves up if that was the case based on their behaviour these past few days.

You've killed Off Topic because it was nasty to you. Fuck you, and fuck your ego. I'm done. You're a cunt, and always will be.
Even if the allegations are false, this whole thing is just a mess. I've been a member for over ten years now, and it sucks to see the community splinter like this. I'll be taking a break from the forum for a while.
