I mentioned this in another thread, but when there is an air of us vs. them people tend to gravitate towards the extremes that identify that group, so they feel part of something.
When Gamergate emerged not only did people within gamergate become more extreme, but people who opposed them (sensible people) often moved towards the extreme opposite. I feel like that was the problem with neogaf. The opinions were basically always correct, but everything was extreme, like we were at war.
Now resetERA is positioning themselves vs NeoGAF I genuinely don't know what's going to happen. We're not extreme opposites. Is it going to be outspoken vs. fence sitters? Will they get bored of us and go back to their war against GG?
Either way I hope that focusing away of videogames moves away from all that tribalism.
