Soooooooooooooooo, does this rule only apply to SJW's? What about Republicans? Or anyone in politics?
Reflective of who you are now is a selective defence. If you over-compensate and kiss the SJW ring, maybe, just maybe they will deam you worthy for thier cause.

Did he edit 19k posts???
Guess what, Reggie who recently requested a ban did something very similar, replacing everything with .

He’s not just a regular scREEEcher, he’s a mod.

Hayyyyyy it’s me ya boi Dusk Golem
He was not before, though. So he got a promotion.

He does know his stuff when it comes to horror stuff, so he would be great to have here. That is, before he was a mod.

lol Jesus there are some nutters online
SJW's have tons of energy to do everything BUT make the world a better place.

Think about it. They decry about how the world is unequal or on the verge of environmental disaster, but rather than actually do anything about it, they sit behind their computers or smartphones and literally SCREECH at other people to do their bidding for them.

And then we wonder why they vote for higher taxes and more government control.

These people don't actually work. They want others to do their bidding for them.

Just out of curiosity, have you all considered that people can go back and edit posts to try to make "landmine" posts? It looks like this nut (hopefully) just used a bot to make shill posts, but someone with malacious intent could do worse.
I can't speak for the mod team but this was actually a common thing during the 2017 purge.

Reset traitors were editing every Community thread and basically filling them with hate messages or spam for Resetera. For the most part, I believe they've all been cleaned up. It's only the recent renegades who throw away their account does it show up noticably.

Don't forget all the gay porn. The holy trifecta of social justice virtue: calling me a rapist or whatever other falsehood and encouraging me to kill myself, posting gay porn, and advertising resetera.

Yeah, it's ironic they're a site that claims to be against "objectification of females in games/media!" but they were happy to post pornographic images all over Neogaf when it came back online.
You can bet those same users were never punished or now make up the moderation ranks of Resetera.

It follows the same pattern as another subversive overthrow that made heavy use of propaganda, enforced groupthink, and illicit attacks against opponents.

Remember, forgiveness is held in the hands of The State, and those who serve The Party can always be forgiven.

Until they're not. Then they get shredded in the meat-grinders like everyone else, wide-eyed and wondering why their precious Party discarded them like the disposable zealot they are?

I remember that mess. Probably not the best way to show how mature and sensible you'd be over at the new forum, but even I was stupid and gullible to believe their bullshit and follow the Canadian Deals thread community over there. Live and learn I suppose.

Nowadays those making the long boat ride back to GAF only advertise ERA. A remarkable improvement from a place where none really exist (ERA).

It was also low quality porn too, so the level of standard that was to come from quite a few of ERA's members was already set in stone.

Which is okay. Some people love garbage. Spielberg made a movie out of that idea, so its not a bad lifestyle, either.

It's interesting to read an array of opinions on this topic from GAF's lost tribes of Israel, especially when Ctrl F yielded no results for "Jung" or "synchronicity".

Why would progressive self-proclaimed LGBT allies post gay porn to shock people? Seems like there was some cognitive dissonance going on there.

And that is ignoring the people who are still making posts about GamerGate harrassment almost 5 years later were doing to you exactly what they claimed was done to them.
 
Dusk Golems Steam games are unmodified default rpg maker assets with barely any real effort put int he games outside a couple where he stole asset packs without giving credit, especially with that game with the flashlight effect.

What a fraud.

Yay, another Ree thread that reads like a Daily Mail article from the 80's... Honest to God, how fucking dumb and gullible are these idiots?

Devs are not watching a big cache of snuff videos to make the violence in games look realistic. And even if they were, they are apparently doing a piss-poor job because violence in games corresponds pretty much exactly with the exaggerated way its portrayed in movies and TV.

See, as anyone who has actually seen real violence will attest, it doesn't look nearly as "cool" and visually impressive as in dramatic media. Real life shootings, etc. are quick and banal affairs, not Mortal Kombat fatalities.

Oh so there is a thread about this whole situation. I was wondering if it would ever be addressed in any light here and I'm glad to see the transparency of the NeoGAF staff being a big part of what's going on now here.

I wasn't going to make a post here, but there's always been something on my mind ever since the incident happened two years ago. I left, like many other's did after hearing the allegations. At the time, I bought into it and decided that I was going to take a break from GAF. I did so. I never took part in the raiding or the spamming (we call them riots on IGN for good reason after all). I thought none of that was ever any good or did nothing for the community at large and would just make the moderators here work even hard to keep the peace.

Flash forward a year and ResetEra is a thing now. I've been lurking here & there and only used it as a means to gain information on games. I noticed that the forum had a much left-leaning stance on things and while so of the things they posted in regards to SJW stuff I agreed with, there were a lot of things...A LOT of things there I thought was just either babyish or just plain uncalled for.

I've been doing community management for a long time now. Ever since the gamergate shit hit the wall. it's like the entire world has changed. People berating other people for how they talk or how they act. How they feel and how they intereact with people online. It's certainly changed the game when it comes to online community management and how sites like Twitter, Facebook, NeoGAF, and ResetEra take to approach these issues.

The way I've always seen it: as long as you're respectful, you're always good in my book. But, now we're seeing otherworldly personalities hit the limelight. I think, in a lot of ways, the change is what caused Trump to be President. Or how many of the right AND left how come out to be racist (whites hating on whites is a thing I'd never thought I'd see). While I do like the people of ResetEra, there are some individuals there that don't see the hypocrisy in their words. Fighting racism / sexism with the opposite racism / sexism doesn't do any good and will win you no battles.

I guess I'm rambling, but I just wanted to clear that from my mind. There's more I could talk about, but it's nice to finally be able to come to a place on the net and be able to clear my thoughts. Sorry for the the thread bogart. I just wanted to get it off my chest. :)

one thing i get sick of is the SJW phrase "real revolutions never happened without violence, everyone knows this" as if it's a fact and not some dumb idiotic and anti-social thing they just pulled out of their ass to sound tough. that they are quick to say things like this tells me they aren't taking civil rights history into consideration at all.
 
Interesting to see people thinking real change requires violence. Jackie Robinson and MLK accomplished more than anyone else can hope even if they had a dozen lifetimes, without violence.

Pretty recent to in the context of human history. Surprised that’s been forgotten by so many so quickly.
 
Dusk Golem is a massive hypocrite. He has plenty of Era's banned games in his Steam library and on his wishlist including Criminal Girls, yet is a mod on a site where the active userbase "side-eyes" anyone that consumes that type of content. I bet the regulars of the women sexualiziation thread would be less comfortable posting there if they knew, yet those same posters seem to think they have carte blanche to do anything because they're all protected. Dusk would probably get demodded sooner than them suffering any kind of consequences if they decided to attack the staff over it.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Wonder if those people ever gave it a thought that they were actually the crazy ones.

I don’t like to generalize, y’all know that, but for the most part, as far as the non-trolls go, as far as “legit” era posters, most of them would never consider they were the crazy ones. So many of those people matching that seem incapable of considering the other side, other viewpoint, or someone discussing the opposition with them.

This is also known as not putting yourself in another's shoes.

Lack of ability to put yourself in another's shoes is a form of lack of empathy.

Lack of empathy is also known as Psychopathy.

Not trying to be harsh; the latter is objective fact. Not saying everyone is to be described like this mind you, we're talking extremes here, but it goes along with what I’ve said prior on the matter.

Any game that is banned on twitch and you can’t stream it is also banned on Era and you can’t talk about it + what C Crash Station mentioned. Thanks for the info Crash I never knew about it

Checked the FAQ and I was right, they are there. These games are not banned on Twitch other than Huniepop, but cannot be discussed on Era in any way:

Dungeon Travelers 2: The Royal Library
Gal Gun
Hatred
Huniepop
Monster Monpiece
Negligee: Love Stories
Omega Labyrinth Z
Senran Kagura Burst Re:Newal
Shinobi Refle: Senran Kagura
Super Seducer: How to Talk to Girls
Super Seducer 2
Tits N Tanks
Mary Skelter 2

Some of these were deemed fine by the ESRB and other rating boards, so they don't even have the excuse of them being AO or equivalent, and they're not deferring to an external source like Twitch in this case either. That means they are trying to be some arbiters of morality on what can and cannot be discussed, yet certain mods will be happy to play this stuff, so clearly its morals for thee but not for me.

Really, the fact a video game forum has a ban list for video games is nonsense in the first place. It was bullshit when GAF introduced one as well.

Haha, the mods don’t post too often in this thread but when they do they make em count. That Devito gif had me cracking up.

There are some legit era posters, mainly in the gaming section, that are some truly good peeps (like A Black Falcon A Black Falcon , I really enjoyed his posts on retro games).

But the “legit” era posters, yeah you hit it in the head with your referenced post. Those five points were all dead on but the need to be in control and the lack of a healthy mindset really stuck out to me.

I remember years ago when a Criminal Girls thread got locked (looks like it's now deleted) and somebody cowering being modbot said Hatred couldn't be discussed here.
So it's kinda like there was a banned games list but only if the mods felt like it I guess.

Gaf had a ban list?

You seriously weren't aware? There was even a thread about it: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/will...-be-banned-on-neogaf-from-here-on-out.851761/

I specifically remember Steve Youngblood and I think Aeana leading the charge with this (maybe besada too, idk)

I believe the banned game list by the time the migration happened was Criminal Girls, Monster Monpiece, Hatred and Dungeon Travellers. There may have been more, I don't remember.

I assumed you signed off on this with you, you know, owning the site and all. That seems kind of bad if you didn't know.

As for current banned games, I assume since GAF is USA based that if it goes against USA law, then it’s automatically banned, but that’s simply common sense.

Not gonna lie Papa Papa , Peter pansexuals made me chuckle... 😂 but what do I know, I’m just a queer, gender-nonconforming, asexual, gawker-criticizing enby.

Oh don’t get me, wrong, there of course are sane, good, and intelligent posters there. I can think of like a dozen fairly quickly myself. Like I said before, I was talking mostly extremes. Truth is, you can find good people anywhere.

No game is specifically illegal in USA. There are gray areas with obscenity, but not only is that not enforced outside of VERY specific cases, you will never get arrested over talking about it on a message board.

Edit: Like seriously, Rapelay got a friggin AO rating here, meaning it could legally be sold even if not on consoles or at most retailers. Fiction isn't nor shouldn't be illegal no matter what it depicts.

I didn't sign off on it, no. Some of the paradigms back then were dysfunctional, and lack of much direct communication with the community was one of them. In hindsight the ex-mods would refrain from bringing things up with me if they thought there would be pushback in many instances.

I'm surprised no one brought it up to you. The whole thing was kind of a big deal back then, both off site and on. That just makes it seem like you were in a bubble, which no offense intended as I assume you wouldn't deny that and how much of an issue the ex-mods were in general.
