The poster claimed to be banned here yet I didn't see AfricanKing AfricanKing banned here around that post time line. Could have been someone else posing as him.

He loves us really.
 
So the show just goes on...I only skimmed through the articles in the op post on the weightlifting ban...someone actually went through it in detail and shot some more holes through it..I’m guessing the mods are asleep as he isn’t banned yet

There was also a post further down about how someone believes there is no biological difference between a man and a woman once they have moved over.

These people are the future....it’s really scary

He should've said alt-left. I really hate the victim complex these people have.
>boo hoo people were acting like shitheads but they really got banned for being normal liberals because gaf only likes alt-right nazis!!!! Yikes!
 
There are better ways to troll the era boards...if you want to really fit in browse some of the antifa and extreme feminist Facebook/reddit pages to see what the hot topic is And pretty much align yourself with the most rabid one and copy/paste

At the moment Liam Neeson is lightning that shit up..all you need to do is start a thre....oh wait there is one.

AfricanKing isn't banned here though. Yet he is already banned on Era. Lol.
He was banned though in January. And there definitely has been some signficiant purge of left leaning posters around that time. Either way, I do not think that KingOfAfrica got a regular ban there. Considering no post is remotely offensive and he also has no post with a banned banner, I assume he is banned for requesting a ban.

EDIT: I have missed some crucial posts.

They weren’t banned for being leftists, they were banned for things they said. luigimario’s was especially bad and just plain dumb. Like, what did he think was gonna happen?

The identity politics has infected the brain so bad, that people can't see the reasons right in front of their eyes.

Well I have talked about LuigiMario alreadyand my impression of it did not match with what Evilore stated was the reason, but Gander was banned for a clear misunderstanding of a posting by a mod, permanently, and the ban reason for BraveOne, again, a permanent ban, is a puzzle for me as well. I cannot recall the ban reason for AfricanKing AfricanKing , but I remember thinking it was pretty harsh as well to ban for that. All of those bans occured over a very short span of time and nuked about half of the left-leaning (on social issues) population here.

I think an important thing to consider here is also that a ban may not be given specifically for being left-leaning - I never wanted to insinuate that that is the case - but through a combination of several things.
- Unavoidable: Bias from the person who makes the decision. In fact, perceived racism against white people appears to be more harshly moderated than perceived racism against black people.
- Very hard to avoid: group dynamics influencing the judgement; since there is a very, very vocal group of people who absolutely hate everyone they even suspect of being concerned about social justice issues, you have a lot of complaints about a lot of posts from people who post something concerning social justic issues that is not ridicule.
- Finally: There are very aggressive users and also users whose only purpose seems to be trolling left oriented posters whose aggressions and trolling is tolerated by moderation. Due to the constant heat from this, some posters may also momentarily lose their composure and lash back (I think this is what happened with LuigiMario, by the way).

Yoshi Yoshi - the people who 'care about social justice issues' don't care about social justice issues though. They care about only one small aspect of it, which is race, gender and sexuality. The majority of them give no fucks about class, indeed they seem to actively hate the working classes, presumably because they tend to be a bit less politically-correct. I would argue that our Social Justice Enthusiasts are, if anything, anti-social justice.

I am pretty sure this is wrong for others as well, but since I do not want to instigate calling others out: Show to me, why it is fair to claim I only care about race, gender and sexuality when it comes to social justice.

How often do you post about sex, race, gender, etc? How often do your colleagues? And how often do you guys post about class, helping the poor, etc? Honestly your post history is all the evidence needed, I'd honestly struggle to find a post where you or your colleagues post anything about helping the poor, the working classes. The ironic thing being that helping the working classes would do more for women and minorities than making sure that games have equal representation or that the US elects a woman as president (who, being rich and in the pockets of corporate donors, gives not a fig for the needs of the poor).

You know, if you look at the topics being discussed here, these social issues are specifically brought to the table the most - and not only from the left, look at the politics subforum. I wanted to quote some headlines, but basically 70% or more of those headlines are concerned with those issues. But it should be very easy fro you to find postings from me asking for:
- free education on all levels for all people
- state-funded universal health care
- very strict gun laws (yes, this is to the advantage of lower classes, because violent crimes are often within the same social circle)
- much higher taxes on top income and especially on inheritance
- strong social security systems
- strict ecological rules (and you know which classes are unproportionally suffering from e.g. low air quality?)

By the way, all of these issues are more important to me, when it comes to my political choices, than the three dimensions of discrimination you have quoted. But to talk about those issues often is tangential to the topic itself and thus is probably less prominent. But if every other day another "oh those fucking lefties" thread is opened concerning itself with ridicule of the three issues - which still are important issues, even if I feel that the above issues would benefit all groups much more than individual action for one of those dimensions of discrimination - then of course I will respond to those topics. The thing is, with these issues, you have a lot of gossiping that leads to political discussions, whereas the more principled issues I have listed do not lend themselves to "hot topic of the day" discussions that much. In fact, you yourself probably spend more time complaining about "useless posters" and "quality of posts" than seriously discussing any of the above issues.

EDIT: And you know what? Neither Nobody_Important nor I were big fans of Clinton. A neoliberal big-corporate candidate does not suddenly become a good presidential candidate because of being female. Of course with the alternative being a far right demagoge I would have begrudgingly voted for Clinton, but your point about her is completely invalid.

EDIT2: And as an additional aside: I personally do not care about representation at all. I do not like if people get hated on because they do, but I have consistently expressed that it is irrelevant to me. I'm a very strict gameplay-is-all-that-matters guy.

I love how some members get banned here, members that literally serve no other purpose than to antagonise and repeat the same bait-riddled, activist, brainwashed bullshit ad nauseum. They don’t contribute positively to this community at all, they simply exist to belittle, throw out insults and cast aspersions on our current members and yet certain other members come out with the defence force, with no evidence or point, but simply because they are on the same side. It’s stupid.

NPC much?

EDIT: Not to mention that, in the same time frame, multiple other members have been banned for other reasons like racism, console warring, etc. Where’s the conspiracy?

There is none. I was referring to ERA (The hand) that banned him (That bit him).
Oh I thought you meant he was biting the hand (neogaf) that was feeding him. But I think you have that idiom a bit wrong, because the biter should be the receiver of the food. Anyway, one more post and we can have a Redneck-trademark mega post exceeding the character limit?

Tell me Yoshi, is it your hobby to play teacher on all of us here and lecturing us on how phrasings should be? You are the only guy asking questions when everyone else got what i meant.
