Support NeoGAF

[Dr. Claus]

They do.

Who are "they"? If you are trying to insinuate that Matt or I are, I am going to be very disappointed in your reading comprehension skills.

 

[Skyn3t]

I'm a man and feel as a man. Guess, it's a mental issue on Era

 

[Typhares]

New fun thread of the day: Uh Oh it's about gamergate!
I like that the OP asks a question 'Why is Gamergate support still so prevalent in gaming communities?' then some try to reply with their opinion that don't fit the narrative: banned.

 

[Corrik]

What is concern trolling? And lol they banned that guy for saying journalists should respect the dead and give grieving families time before going after them looking for quotes.

 

[Skyn3t]

Would be fun to get banned there in the matter of minutes, but I don't care enough to justyfie calling my ISP and setting up a email account.

And I'm reaching again to EviLore - how's the traffic on GAF right now, do you think that the forums will reclaim former glory, do you think Era will eventually collapse. And maybe too personal, but how do feel about current situation after pouring your soul into GAF for many, many years?

Sorta on the same topic of mass bannings Have you guys seen this
http://resetera.kiwifarms.net/graphs/

Basically a tracker that's scanned all the bans over on the other site.....over 1000 in a month ...quite a lot of them I'm scratching my head at

Edit...hope this is allowed

There is a thread dedicated to this on the community OT.

Gamergate pushed in their shit when they were exposed as being up to no good. This is why they freak out about it so much.

There's a difference between legit trans people and trooning out for internet brownie points. You decide in what category the REEra trannies fall. Or the speedrunning community.

Probably not going to get the answer you’re looking for if you’re gonna throw around terms like “chicks with dicks”. It’s a much more open environment for discussion since the chemo but it’s hardly the Wild West.

What am I even looking at here? That is the most unattractive collection of humans I’ve ever seen. Is this what FIFA is aiming for?

Nice chicks with... erm, beautiful eyes

I see you are unfamiliar with the stunning and brave speedrunning community. This was their meetup from last year, this is the current one:

I've removed the pictures posted just to mock other peoples appearances. There is little difference between this and doxxing when the intent is malicious and people identifiable. Do not do this again please.

Thanks. I was going to comment.. I'm not above laughing at other people's expense from time to time, even when "punching down" on occasion. But I think it'd be better if we didn't devolve into behavior that starts to appear downright bigoted. We're discussing the ridiculousness of Era here, but best not to go from one extreme to the other.

 

[klosos]

The problem with Era is they don't want a discussion its as simple as that. Take any thread over there and look through the OP , after that its numerous pages of sheeple saying the same thing over and over but with a slight variation each time. Anyone who disagrees needs to tip toe around on eggshells without using certain buzzwords or the mods will spin some nonsense to ban you.

I mean there's more differing opinions on a 3 page thread here then there is in a 30 page thread over there, its really very sad when you think about it.

 

[Skyn3t]

Yep, exactly.

Funfact: they banned around 2000 people in the last months. Insanity at its finest.

I find it even funnier the very long bows they draw when it comes to the ban reasons...........you know this scene in anchorman 2 (yes i know its my profile pic) where steve carrell says "remember that time when i was born and i came out from the Vagina"


Sort of reminds me of their moderation..

 

[DeepEnigma]

This made me laugh.

Blonde hair *check*

Blue eyes *check*

Making the stereotypical "racist" comment for those Caucasian features...

*unoriginal*

And when you are conscious enough to say, "someone I look up to" as an excuse, you are straight up lying to further push an agenda without any facts other than the typical "he's white, fits the meme, and all yts are racist (default go to insult)".

I dont even care nor watch that dude, but they're getting boring. The constant 0 to a hunnit false narratives, you're not cool kiddos.

I wonder how they plan to keep their userbase. I see that they still haven't crossed the 40.000 user wall and they've been close to 40.000 for quite some time now. Remember they didn't have a lot less members than now around a month ago when I logged off for good. If they keep this up there aren't going to be many people left soon.

 

[Cauliflower of Love]

nvm.

 

[DeepEnigma]

it's grizzkev what do you expect?

I'm not familiar with that user, but I will take your word for it, and his as well.

"Every yt I don't like it rayciss!"

And people get along fine here while sharing different opinions . It's like having people sharing different opinions is actually healthy for a board.

Could you imagine being such a sensitive pussy that you're terrified of someone holding a different opinion than you, but I guess that's where Reset is and always will be. Knowing Reset, they consider different opinion hate speech.

I mentioned this earlier as well. It goes to show you that when you allow people to share their opinions, there seems to be less toxicity in the overall community. The stress and tension of feeling like you need to conform and be controlled to one ideal system is the difference maker here.

So much anger and hostility over there, is due to the users opinions being orchestrated. Eventually they will canabalize and turn on each other. It always happens when one(s) start to snap out of their mind control and realize they are an individual that does not share everything to the T ideals wise. Then revolts happen.

"Oh shit, they are waking up, quick ban them for concern trolling or something something low effort."

And I think that only counts bans that are shown attached to posts. My permaban was a "shadow ban" that they just did behind the scenes without marking a particular post. Bans like mine are surely in the minority, but have to wonder how many others like it there are, which don't appear in those figures.

They are going to be doing more sneaky things like that, because they are already on to that bot and tried to get it taken down in the past.

I requested my ban via a PM to Cerium so I do not think my ban would be counted either.

So far gone... there is that 'bark' again, but they changed it up a bit. Great curated community they have over there that allows their little minions to pile on people that challenge their dystopian group think.

Hence toxic.

And the worst of all, those guys went voluntiraly in this site, using their work mails. At any possible time, they can be doxxed by this unhinged hate mob.

No doubt. The crazies (like the Reset folks) who can't handle it will weed themselves out because they will show their ass. Pretty much level headedness prevails in that type of environment.

It just makes for an overall very healthy discussion board.

I find it hilarious that mael is suggesting that it is a "personal story between 2 private individuals" meanwhile they created ResetEra because of a personal story between 2 private individuals. I am sure the Irony is lost on them.

Female is the new "f" word.

Wait so Female word is now a racist word?

What the hell? Resetera members, thinking 'saying Female is now a racist word'? How, and what made them think saying that word is dehumanizing and racist?

This, ladies and gentleman, is why Neogaf is better than Resetera. That Era site will implode itself at one point anymore. Peoples will learn that Neogaf is more civil, friendly and discussable than Resetera.

 

[DeepEnigma]

So is "male" off the table too? *crickets*

 

[Skyn3t]

Just imagine shouting to someone "you son of a female" as an insult. Hilarious.

 

[Shiki_]

We can always ask to our GirlGaf community about this.

And it is up to us (both old and new users, but longtime lurkers) to keep it that way.


We must not repeat the same mistakes this site made up until Fall of 17', we must not allow this place to become one more echo chamber or a bubble.

Better question would be; was there a thread on GAF about it and if so, what was GAF's reply at the time?

 

[Skyn3t]

This is ridiculous. You really have those types of people in US of A, masses of them, who try to push their SJW agenda, white-shaming etc? The west is really rotten.

 

[Michele]

Wait so she also has a Resetera account? I don't recall that being mentioned...

 

[Enygger_Tzu]

I was being sarcastic. But really, do you believe she would not have one, given the opportunity?
