I usually dont talk with dumps, sorry you do.
Too many knee jerk reactions and the people who are acting childish like bumping okd threads or advertising other forums in here when Im just trying to enjoy discussions are annoying.
People could say a game didntt have a female character and some people will go crazy and boycott a company.

My avatar and screen name are the same, so you can't get a 2-for-1 for that.
Also, you're clearly too afraid to talk about the topic. So you're just being a bully by calling me names without backing it up. That isn't nice.
Name one case that did actually happen, turd.
I wanna see the receipts
There's no discussion when you are telling people crybabies when they can't defend, you are just a cockroach looking for validation and you are not getting it and you start with "that adds to the conversation"
What conversation?
You are despicable and your thread are worth nothing, don't expect any better because it won't happen.

Everyone keeps saying this is evidence of dealing revenge porn, but...how do we know that again?Both sides, right?
They're just porn links. I have no idea what they lead to.
Or is there something about that forum I don't know

I'm kind of dying at everyone memorializing Gaming Side as some rational, level-headed section of the site.
Like, are we talking about the same page? The one with the Uncharted 3 review thread? The one with the Anita Sarkeesian topics? The one with rampant petty fanboyism? You talk about some outrage culture on off-topic when the most outrage this forum has ever seen was Xbox One DRM-gate.
But I guess pontificating about a product you have the option of not purchasing is more noble than speaking passionately about current events that affect everyone in real life.

I think it'll eventually make its return once things settle down.
"Sexual misconduct is A-okay as long as you get them to consent later under a completely different set of circumstances!"
Uh, okay.

Gonna be real with you the only reason the other site looks more active is because there's a shitload less threads on the site. Also pretty sure that's lurkers/trolls padding their accounts.

I was talking about the shower incident.
In terms of the ass grab...not cool...but once again in either case:
Really? This is worth the mass exodus and downfall of GAF/EL?
Have you seen the names the guy is being called? He is a monster because of the above? Get real.

Yes, lets rebuild Gaf on shitty foundation.
Yeah, some of the people I'm criticizing self-banned and can't write back. That's true, but that was their decision "to make a statement." You're still here, you didn't ban yourself, and you're still too timid to debate any point that I've made, other than giving blanket statements about how I'm a despicable dude. Why are you so opposed to conversation about the matter?

I didn't say it was worthy any of that. I literally said he shouldn't be defending someone who has admitted to sexually assaulting and you came at me over it about the definition of Sexual Assault, which is legally recognised.

What? Compare the review threads.
What point you made?
HAHA FUCK YOU CRY BABIES THIS IS MY PLAYGROUND NOW
That?
Because is not, there are still people calling you out and you are still, not giving anything back
What are you going to do to improve this? Are you going to add more to the "well he did that but he is human so..." or just going to normalize that?
You didnt win shit, GAF is dead and that people like you are feeling vocal and hopeful about it is just one of the many evidences of that.
If some terrible scenario happened, why in the world would some girl give him the A-Okay to have sex afterwords? I mean, wouldn't that a weird thing for someone to do?

You're in denial I'm afraid.
It took 28 minutes for the Super Mario Odyssey review thread to go up on Neogaf. I'm still amazed TBH, that's just dire.
The community is gone and barring a surge of new accounts that are equally passionate things probably won't get better.
Particularly as a lot of newer accounts are saying some heinous stuff I tell ya. As well as less active members coming out of the woodwork with some equally shameful opinions.
The outlook is grim.

Please stop.
I think it's clear that at this point you don't really understand what you're talking about.
make an argument directly. maybe we'll find a common ground. maybe i'll see your point. but don't take credit for something you didn't do. you haven't said, well, anything here so far.

Dude...
What the fuck is that OP? You've got to be kidding me... a week ago this shit would have been nuked before the 3rd post if it was defending literally anyone else in such a manner, disgusting
The reason this site is falling apart is because it's run by a single person, and he fucked up. There's no group to carry things forward while the accused slinks away into the shadows.

lets assume you're right (you're not), how do you excuse the other shit he's done in the past?

I should also say to the OP that calling people "cry-babies" because they're leaving a website due to sexual assault allegations is not a good look.
It does not help get your point across at all.
People sure do like just randomly making stuff up to try and fit their persecution complex.
It's the same thing as this nonsense that the OT was a "cesspool" because you got banned for having a different opinion.
No. That's bullshit and I'm tired of some people trying to push it as some fact.
Yes, there were moderation issues. As can happen on any forum that is around as long as GAF, you'll eventually have mods that are quick to ban or unfair. I would say that the majority of mods on GAF have been fair, however.
But no, no one got banned for having different "opinions." No one was ever banned for being conservative. No one was banned for saying they voted for Trump. No one was ever banned for saying they don't think gun control is the answer after another mass shooting. It isn't the mods fault that, unfortunately, those same people would end up doing something else to get banned.
If you "opinion" was something bigoted or you continued to post ignorant crap that derailed threads, you would be banned. This website prided itself on being a progressive place that celebrated doing what was right.
No, GAF will not accept someone who thinks gay people should have less rights than straight people. No, GAF will not accept a person who thinks Black Lives Matter is a terrorist group. No, GAF will not accept someone who says, "You know, he was no angel," the next time a cop shoots a black man in the back.
Some "opinions" are trash. Stop pretending that everything is equal. It isn't.

ok, maybe. so clear it up for me. why did they stay friends, and why did they have consentual sex later on? just tell me so I can understand better.

"Women can retroactively consent to unconsensual sexual acts"
This is the reasoned debate the other forum is missing, ladies

You don't tell me what to do, if you are so good and proud of your argument, I can call back some of the cry babies you mentioned to see if you are as big then, if that what you want.

Definitely, now that it has lost what made it different to the rest. I think it's being done to make it viable for selling off and nothing more.
Why does any of that retroactively make what happened previously consent?
Answer =
It doesn't
Evilores reaction to this caused the mods to lose faith in him and they quit. People here found this out through the former mods and others left as well.

I'd laugh but it's honestly scary.
Like what was said above this would be (rightly) torn to shreds last month and I don't see how that's a bad thing, no matter how many buzzwords one may use. ('Hivemind', 'no dissenting opinions', 'mob mentality' whatever).
Now it's OK here.
Scary.
you probably couldn't, as I was referring to people who perma-banned themselves, lol.

Lol. If someone does something wrong you blame the act of wrong doing but not the person who did it? Lol. Seriously? Thats ridiculous. What a weird place this is becoming.
A Switch is starved for games tea.
I don't understand this misguided sense of loyalty to Evilore. Yes, he "saved" the forums when they split off from Gaming Age, and he was a really good poster once upon a time. But once GAF caught fire and the big ad revenue started rolling in, he fucked off and started a perpetual globetrotting vacation on our dimes, only dropping in infrequently to grace us with an impersonal form letter telling us to behave. Not exactly behavior emblematic of a great friend of the community.
Well before this current situation blew up, he struck me in recent years as an increasingly dispassionate owner trying to make sure his cash cow kept flowing. His solution to this flare-up being to deflect blame, censor, and cut away discussion of "problem" issues with a hacksaw cements it.
