What do you think about posting private nude pictures of girls online?
Look, I saw when EL posted the revenge porn. I was there. I saw the post. And I saw when it got wiped away.
Trust is not a concern here.

You're 100% are not understanding the purpose of the story and hashtag. It was about sharing experiences so others can open up. She posted it to her private facebook, and then her friends shared it out. She said in the waypoint interview she never intended for this to blow up into something more.

I saw this, absolutely wtf.
Reposting here because this is actual, life changing help that people need to be aware of being available.
I don't think you understand my post at all but go on continue to tell me how and what to rage at in every instance (you know don't pickup a hat in time because one person voice acting in it is a racist, or don't play this game because a woman is too scantily clad, etc etc). Of course I would never be for sexual assault. I'm talking about the overall tone in this place on every social issue.

Projecting a self righteous moral compass on the internet through a keyboard is easier than actually going out into the world and making a difference. Most of these extreme social justice advocates don't really give solutions. They just like to shout at what they see as a problem through their morally outraged perception.
How about you get out of this thread then?

Why is NeoGAF the place to post that information - this is a video game forum.
As helpful as it can be, GAF shouldn't be the resource anyone comes to for that information.

Ah sorry I missed that part of the article. In that case she did good and I will shut up

Come on now Neogaf a gaming forum not a place for abused women to meet up. People on here still overreacting, genuinely maybe take a break from the internet.

I saw them get banned too...
It is when you read about this history of the sites owner, wouldnt you say?
This thread is fine I'm talking about the individual threads people keep making. I agree that there has to be complaints but I would rather it stay in one location.

Can't let on that you hate women too quickly, guys. Gotta space that shit out I guess.
This is awful.
This would be his 3rd or 4th chance.

It was, and it was great. You didn't have to go into those threads.
five.fucking.stars.
Who are you even talking to? You understand a forum is made up of people all over the world right? On the internet? There is no organization of people trying to tell you what to be mad about , you are literally lumping random unrelated people together with your own reaction to their postings.

Guess where all that discussion used to take place? Also why would you care where abused women meet up? Surely they have every right to meet up on a gaming forum?

Make sure you take a ticket and fill out your complaint card on the table, please do not talk to the event organizers.
They were 100% banned and the thread was locked. Someone is back-peddling now realizing what they've started.
I'd love to see the moderation logs of what is going on....
Hrm they are not banned? Thread is not locked?

What are you even talking about? GAF was once the forefront of the anti-gamergate movement. Now you're trying your best mental gymnastics to excuse sexual abuse.

Fixed for you. Enjoy your echo chamber of white, male rightwing snowflakes.
That's my bad actually, you were responding to someone who said she was unstable and I misread it. Sorry about that.
Well money is part of it. Evillore owns the site, hes not likely to get a return right now that would justify him selling it, so w/out him footing the bill for the servers (from his return on advertising revenue of course) I dont see how a scenario exists where hes not running the site.
Ive been on GAF for a number of years now, it is far and away the best gaming forum Ive ever run into (2000-2006 IGN Boards were pretty dope as well, but no GAF) I also really enjoyed OT and to be honest cycled all my major gaming/current events/political news through GAF. Granted, I had no problem w/ the modding because Im a pretty liberal person and the site definitely aligns w/ my political slant, but I do understand why some people were upset w/ how it was done.
The thing that I most liked about GAF was how it pretty much purged the GG crowd. It also had a really tight lockdown on shit posting.
I have doubts that GAF can retain the feel its had all these years as many posters have decided to leave, but Im hopeful that even if its just for gaming discussion, that the community can survive and continue to have the best message board conversations Ive ever found on the web.

MALKA NEVER SAID HE MISREAD THE SIGNALS!
All he said was that she's mentally unstable.
If he said he misread the signals it would be so much more honest.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
No prob.
Also very and most clearly drunk. No one in that state thinks about closing the door. Even in my most lucid drunk states I experienced I've had issues with my own bathroom door just for normal restroom trips. God help me if it was an emergency like vomiting.
The door ajar "defense" is a bullshit defense and doesn't cut it. It being partially open is not an giving consent for anything. I also seriously hope some of you don't see that shit as being given consent either or you have some serious problems.
No, it isn't. This is the third, which why would you defend someone after one allegation of sexual assault anyway?

I think he was agreeing with me that its sick of Malka to say shes mentally unstable. Think you got yoir posters twisted.

So I haven't looked into any of Evilore's past controversies, and haven't read much about this latest one.
With that said, here is the question that comes to my mind: how is this (or any of the past controversies) any of our business?
Sure, he is the owner (founder?) of the Neogaf message board, but why does his personal life matter at all to the functionality of the Neogaf board?
Someone mentioned him being like the CEO of a company and how the members of that company wouldn't be able to tolerate some terrible issues that he CEO had --- he'd need to be replaced.
Neogaf isn't a company. It's just a gathering place for a vast community. Evilore isn't the leader of the community. The community members are all self-autonomous members who come to the center and participate as they please. Evilore just owns the community center. Sure, he has the right to set the rules and nuke the threads that he finds controversial, even if those threads are related to him personally and potential serious allegations.
What does that matter? Why burn down the community center and/or leave the community just because the owner of that community center is up on charges? It's not the owner that constitutes the quality of the community center or the community. It is the overall discourse and interactions between the community members after they gather within the community center.
Sure, community members have a right to voice their opinions on the community center owner's allegations, and the owner has the right to shut down those conversations and kick out those whose opinions he doesn't like. It's then the right of the rest of the community members to voice their concern and disapproval of such actions.
Personally, I can't believe that the OT and OT Community has been nuked due to this issue and I can't even believe that so many community members are choosing to take Evilore's allegations so personally to the point of leaving/suicide-banning etc. Is that really worth it?
Frankly, I don't think it's any of our business, regardless of how serious the allegations are. If he doesn't want it discussed, then so be it. It's a personal issue and only personal issues that community members want to discuss should be privy to discussion. If they request that it not be discussed, then we all should respect that request.
Please restore Neogaf to its original form with OT / OT Community in full form, free to discuss politics etc.
Please stop discussing this highly personal issue that Evilore has made clear he does not want discussed.
Let's salvage what we can of the community center that was built over so many years and bring back as much of the community as possible that made it so special.

Not sure if people are overlooking this on purpose or they just don't get it. EL's own statements, made over the weekend and on this very thread, basically turned a small fire into a raging inferno.

At this rate all that will be left is Community Gaming OT section. I'm guessing by end of the week.

I would not blame Neogaf for doing it. You guys are still accusing Tyler Malka of wrongdoing even though the evidence clearly showing she never thought this was a big deal as she jumped into bed with him and had sex with him. Neogaf does want trolling to continue, don't blame them. When he truly does something evil talk about it.
Every single topic there seems to only be about people trying to gather info so they can move on together and leave GAF.

that i absolutely agree with
Yea I said before I got em mixed up with someone he responded to and apologized.
Hey Evilore, take notes? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Stop ignoring all the posts from people saying it was EL's handling of the situation that makes them not want to be here anymore. If he had handled this like a decent normal fucking person, this would not be as bad as it is.

easy there tiger... the human body is a beautiful thing and I'm not sure how this particular situation can be construed as assault.
Is it such a big deal because of the implication of the act? Or because she didn't want her naked body to be seen?
Sure it's weird and I most definitely wouldn't have the balls to do it, but didn't he abide by her nonconsent?

I support left wing causes and i live in Europe.
Basically what I said earlier on, everyone needs to calm the fuck down. It's shitty that the Off-Topic forum is gone but someone being draconian on a forum doesn't make them automatically Hitler. In a world where real Nazis are showing up more and more saying that kind of shit just looks dumb.

This is a problem though...There is very little to go on at the moment except the word of two people involved in the incident. I find the hysteria here rather off putting. If he was genuinely predatory then that is disgusting, but unless more circumstantial or direct evidence arises, there is no possibility of making a fair judgement at the moment. This is nothing like the situation with people like Weinstein, Crosby or Trump yet - leaving aside the severity, I am refering to the circumstantial evidence. The situation in Madrid was an assault of sorts and something that is common in any club you go to where people get drunk and men become idiots.
I also think that Evilore is not the only figure coming out of this looking damaged...
