Icemonk191 with the classic Ree ban baiting post there, there's so many Reetards that are as bigger cunts as the mods. Watch out for those "just asking what you really meant" questions.What other game forums do you visit?
In my life I started out with gamefaqs almost 20 years ago (maybe I’m misremembering that) and the migrated to Neogaf. I now find myself here and I like it, but I’d like to branch out. What’s good out there?www.resetera.com

You mean “sane”?I don't like how it seems like the first reply to every thread here seems to just be the anti-Era type shit
The not-so-secret secret is that the ideologues over there see any topic as fair game for baiting and pushing agenda. Remember comrade, "everything is political" and you'd better not forget it. The nonsense would not have started to leak into Gaming section if that was not the truth. They'll keep seeking out juicier and juicier topics (as the obviously-political threads start running dry).That's exactly the kind of bullshit I was calling someone out for when I copped the ban that led me to write that place off. Someone said the Ghostbusters remake sucked and people were baiting him out like they were gonna catch a secret nazi. All I was trying to do was say hey bitches, we can have a discussion about the quality of the movie without drawing lines on who's alt-right or a misogynist or woke. Nah that's dismissive of representation concerns. fuuuuuuck you. I don't like how it seems like the first reply to every thread here seems to just be the anti-Era type shit but at least I don't feel like I'm walking on eggshells when I dare voice an opinion.

The nonsense move up to gaming because they bled all the easy ban baits out of the off topic section and there are easier kills up there now.The nonsense would not have started to leak into Gaming section if that was not the truth.

gotta love these threads, maybe one day they'll look back at the bullshit.
Can you be friends with people you’re not completely politically aligned with?
I was going to ask this in the current Angry Joe thread over on the gaming side but thought it might be better over here. I’m seeing quite a few posts over there that I don’t agree with. I’m not going to quite specific posts, but there are two main sentiments I’m seeing that I disagree with...www.resetera.com

Jesus fucking christ so pathetic. How many funko pops do you think he owns? I bet Captain Marvel is his favorite film.Click on Era and these are some of the first topics I see:
Do you cut your own toenails?
It is a pain in the ass. Very uncomfortable to bend your legs/back/feet to reach your own toenails and cut them with clippers. So, that's why my wife cuts my toenails. A lot more comfortable. How about you?www.resetera.com

I understand where you are coming from. There are two things I take issue with though.Sane is accepting that a cigar is just a cigar in most instances and politics don't need to infect every topic with either SJW or anti-SJW bullshit. Let's talk about games in a game thread, let's talk about game politics in game politics threads, etc. This:
...isn't any less obnoxious when it's the "other side" doing it, except that around here I can say unpopular shit without copping a ban, and people are willing to engage and talk about stuff instead of getting tiggered and spamming the report button. That is a total breath of fresh air coming back. But I'd much rather have GAF go back to being GAF before the a-woke-ening than being the anti-Era. For the most part I'd say it's there, but that political shit pops up way more than it should outside of the Politics subforum IMO. That's not a critique of moderation here, just how the community in general is letting stuff spill into places it really doesn't need to go to. It's exhausting to worry about every little offense to the SJW crowd, and it's exhausting hearing how any time there's a female lead or a gay character it's supposedly pandering to the SJWs.
This thread: https://www.neogaf.com/threads/woke-reboot-ideas.1502152/
...is funny! But the ratio of talking about wokeness to talking about the shit we're interested in around here, like movies and games, needs to swing a bit back the toward the movies and games side sometimes.
Dammit I knew things felt wierd down there this morning. I will thank you you got that ingrown one that had been nagging me for a while.I only cut other people’s toenails....when they are sleeping...to add to my collection.
gotta love these threads, maybe one day they'll look back at the bullshit.

Someone with an account there should PM ItsTonyB and tell him that the place he’s looking for is here.
My mam, gf, parents-in-law are all in Favour for zwarte Piet in the Netherlands. Altough I’m not. In fact I’m again the whole Sinterklaas party.
Should I drop them Gaf?
That thread is a real trip!
More pearls of wisdom from everyone's favourite ice monk:
I've got a feeling that the mods are taking notes on the people saying that they visit GAF and other "problematic" sites. The user will regret their honest once they get a "duration pending" ban. Reminds me a bit of Mao's Hundred Flowers Campaign:
I feel TonyB isn't long for the ResetEra world:
They are so dishonest and twisted they can't even call it a perma. No courage, just underhanded shit.

Since I am dutch aswell, I can tell you that people ruined a child-festival/event by screeching and fighting (very rare btw) over nothing. I know enough people from Dutch Antilles or Curaçao, and they all don't give a flying fuck. They all hate the Amsterdam pride parade though.. and are quite vocal about it too, not starting about the people from Morocco..
I am pro-sinterklaas and Cristmas, I grew up with it (born in '84) and when it starts it always pleases me when I see people from other cultures celebrating Sinterklaas. And last but not least, 90% of the protesters are white people from rich backgrounds.
And to answer your question, it was sarcasm of course. But I think, if you drop family for stuff like this, esspecially in Limburg (my region) Damn.. people will shun you..
Done. Made my cousin PM himSomeone with an account there should PM ItsTonyB and tell him that the place he’s looking for is here.
They’re always such drama queens.
“I'm not going to be friends with people who think me, people like me, or agree with people that think I should be dead.”
Yep, that’s totally the view of the average republican.
I understand where you are coming from. There are two things I take issue with though.
1) There is no denying the fact that there has been serious agenda pushing in the games industry for at least the last 5 years. When video games are getting changed because of this agenda, people are going to talk about it. It’s normal. The fact that GAF is now a free-thinking, REEE free zone that doesn’t muzzle people for having an opinion means that open-minded people will gravitate here and converse.
2) It’s a bit rich for someone who followed the mindless herd to ResetEra and only came back a year later to make a single post here lamenting getting a ban over there, then taking another 9 month GAF hiatus before appearing again on GAF to bitch about getting another Era ban, to be dictating how they think GAF discourse should flow.
That’s my 2 cents.
Some of you are putting a invincible glass ceiling on Gaf limiting how far this site will grow user wise.
Two to three weeks ago I went into a random Pokémon or Astral Chain (Pre launch) thread and the first comment was either a gender identity joke or some women’s right over reaction joke that was clearly a shot at Era made by a user who frequents this thread. I’ve seen similar shots in other threads.
I don’t care about the joke or the fact that the user made that joke because in context I knew the user was taking a shot at Era and it got a slight smile and dumbass remark out of me.
Not everyone who visits this site knows about Era and all the shit the happened a couple years ago. If some fresh blood is lurking the site looking for a new community to join and be part of and if they click on a gaming related thread and the first comment they see is a gender identity joke or some women’s right joke... Out of context that person is going to label this site Transphobic or Sexist.
Bringing Era up and taking shots at Era in unrelated threads is no better then what Era does in every single gaming Era thread they have and it actively undermines what Evilore and his team is doing by making this site more and more user friendly.
Other opinion
I see comments in here saying that Era is dying or is at the very least circling the drain.
I disagree..
That site has legitimacy.. like it or not it has industry support. Devs post there, leakers post there, and gaming “journalist” post there. They give that site credibility and in turn they attract more and more new users.
The site is bleeding old time users lets leak something and have our “journalists” friends cover it which creates more exposure for the site that will bring in new users. What? God of War is a game of the gen contender? Well it’s director posts here from time to time.. the appeal of talking to devs directly is appealing enough for new users to join up.
Resetera was built on more then just NeoGaf old user base. It also took a system of credibility and legitimacy that Evilore and his “old” team took years to create and foster before the community turned on him.
I personally think it’s fucked that other people are profiting of off what Evilore created. What can you do? The only way Era would go down is if a actual scandal would hit their MOD team or the owner which I don’t think will happen or it’s sold off to a corporate company looking to expose the user base for a profit which I think would actually make that community more bearable since the corporate ownership would tighten down with stricter rules.
Only second post here and they both been in this thread. Patiently waiting for the new Pokémon games to release.
Plus if you look at any social media outside of RE pretty much the entire internet hates the site.
Just to add, there seems to be 2 things that come from that site that makes the “news”.I agree with your point on sometimes GAF is a bit heavy with social commentary. It seems like some people have to constantly look for it and bring it up on gaming side.
I don’t think RE is really all that relevant. GAF used to have a lot of developers posting. Then things got crazy and most of them disappeared. RE had quite a few at the start, but I’ve noticed most of them stopped posting a long time ago. The majority of the verified people now just have generic titles or are from studios I’ve never heard of. Plus if you look at any social media outside of RE pretty much the entire internet hates the site. Most of the leaks posted on Era are just reposts from places like Reddit or 4chan.
I don’t think it is going anywhere like you mentioned. There are enough users there that even if new sign ups slow it won’t matter much. A lot of people put up with GAF when things got crazy by just ignoring certain threads. I’d imagine a lot of their user base does the same.
gotta love these threads, maybe one day they'll look back at the bullshit.

Half? Don't make up bullshit. Let me help you walk it back. "Well it feels like it, it didn't mean it litterally, well the title isn't but the content is". Or you can just make up one of your own.There are times during the week when half of Gaming's first page is made up of culture wars stuff, with people decrying some "woke" piece of news/anime censorship/etc, calling X/Y/Z "cucks", etc.
