Dead man gets a damning obituary for being a total asshole

Heh, I don't mean to back seat mod, but can we ban this guy for calling my family members pieces of shit? When he has no knowledge or understanding of my upbringing?

Really disappointed in the moderation and GAF community, in general.

What a hill to die on...
 
I'm not normalizing abuse, I'm exercising restraint and skepticism before I allow myself to vilify another.

There's a goddamn public record citing his offenses.
 
The guy liked drugs, drink, and women? The horror!

Any girl who publicly vilifies her father like this is worthless. Her life clearly ended up ok enough despite her father's "best efforts."

As someone who survived domestic abuse from a mentally ill father who refused to seek any form of help, despite knowing full well he needed it, please stop talking.

Until you understand the horrors of growing up and living with a man several times stronger than you who controls your access to food, shelter, and the outside world (and thus, any method of "telling on him"), and whose sole method of stress relief is beating you with closed fists until you beg for mercy or he sees blood, you have no god damn right to tell the victims of a monster that they're being unfair when they feel relief at that monster's death.

Edit: And yes, I know I'm describing my own situation with the beatings being described. The funny thing is, this guy sounds worse than my own father.

I've never had hot liquid poured on me anyway...
 
This whole thread is some amazing black comedy. Both the obituary itself, and then whatever character this guy is playing for the sake of one spectacular account suicide.
 
There are degrees of restraint, and no man is God. Except, well, you of course?

Use of physical force can only have physical restraint (as in "I didn't beat my wife's face bloody"), not mental restraint (as in "Someone has disagreed with me, time to tell them they have a god complex")
 
My point exactly, you have no clue either.

Well actually we do

Our argument is that survivors of abuse (PS: just because your life isn't in ruins doesn't mean that you weren't abused) came out about it

Your argument is "there's literally nothing that suggests they are lying and no motive to lie at this point, yet I will come to his defense"
 
These people are scum. They admit in the obit that he had mental illness.

People with mental illness need love and support.

You don't know anything about them, their situation or what they've been through yet you think you know enough to call them scum? What if they suffered decades of physical and mental abuse at the hands of this guy? What if they tried to get him help but he wouldn't comply?
 
Another personal attack. Seems the terms of service don't apply equally to everyone.

Very disappointed in this place.

How about, instead feigning disgust and disappointment, you try to explain how the opinions you've expressed in this thread relate to this:

Chris Brown, man... he deserves a shotgun blast to the balls. There's never an excuse for laying hand on a woman. EVER. You can see Satan in that fucker's eyes.

Edit: he's gone.
 
No matter how many shit heads you find, I still surprised that someone is willfully defending spousal/child abuse AND taking the moral high ground. Fucking scum really.

Anyways, this quote:
Although I appreciate everyoneÂ’s concern, it would have been much more appreciated at any time during my childhood.
is too real.
 
BRB writing your obit.

voodoojohn's posts served no other obvious purpose, he did not contribute to society or serve his community and he possessed no redeeming qualities. With his ban he will be missed only for what he never did; being an empathetic human being

Hoping he's reading this from somewhere.

But yeah, I remember people asserting that there should be some unconditional respect for the dead, especially when Scalia died. Fuck no. If people hate you that much even after you're gone, you clearly did something wrong.
 
I wonder how will he rant on twitter/rant about this to his friends: "I was just trying to defend an abuser who poured hot liquid into his wife; but those guys just banned me. Arrgg! So mad!"

I'm sure he'll probably post something mindnumbingly stupid in the Facebook GAF group mostly populated with people who got permabanned.
 
Having a mental illness does NOT excuse being an asshole. The man had a supporting family and access to medical care. Yet he still chose to drink (which 90% of the time makes any illness worse) and hurt his family. Fuck that. I'll save my pity for people with mental illnesses that actually want help.


Man I've read some dumb shit on this forum over the years but this is up there with the worst. You are garbage.[/QUOTE]

Another personal attack. Seems the terms of service don't apply equally to everyone.

Very disappointed in this place.

If and when you come back, I hope you learn not to White Knight for jerks.

Listen, chill out, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for that:

Voodoojohn is incredibly racist.
 
I always wanted a really truthful obituary after I'm dead.

"Dude was kind of a jerk, had shitty opinions on musical theater, and was a fat load. He will be missed for a few years then promptly forgotten."
 
To leave such a trail of vitriol behind you, you have to be a special brand of dickhead.

Oh, and the guy in the OP is a bit of a bastard, too.
 
Anyways, back on topic since he's gone.

This is the kind of thing that many people wish they could do, and honestly more people should. Respect for the dead stops at abuse imo.
 
voodoojohn joined NeoGAF on July 1st, 2007 and was banned on February 11th, 2017, which was a month longer than expected and much longer than he deserved. voodoojohn battled with misogyny in his latter posts and lost his battle, ultimately due to being the horses ass he was known for. He leaves behind an unfinished argument with countless relieved posters.

As a junior member, voodoojohn quickly became a model example of shitposting combined with strawman arguments and a complete commitment to hypocrisy and being generally offensive. voodoojohn valiantly argued to the strife of people of color in America, but not so much in a brave & patriotic way but more as an excuse to deride women. While eating, voodoojohn was the NeoGAF WTF!? food combos champion and went on to sufficiently embarrass his family and country by spending the remainder of his service in the kitchen combining one entire can of cut yellow corn with a bag of nacho cheese doritos.

voodoojohn was surprisingly intelligent, however he lacked ambition and motivation to do anything more than being reckless, wasteful, squandering the family savings, and fantasizing about get rich quick schemes. voodoojohn's hobbies included couchsurfing, choosing a new plasma TV, loving TOSTADAS (a lot), expediting tags for the more beloved among us, and fishing, which he was less skilled with than the previously mentioned. voodoojohn's account served no other obvious purpose, he did not contribute to NeoGAF or serve this community and he possessed no redeeming qualities besides quick whited sarcasm which was amusing during his junior days.

With voodoojohn's banning he will be missed only for what he never did; being a loving poster, both in Gaming and OT. No services will be held, there will be no prayers for eternal peace and no replies to the angry tweets he'll send to Evilore. voodoojohn's account will be left in the barn until "EightBitNate", the family pervert's wood shavings run out. voodoojohn's banning proves that evil does in fact die and hopefully marks a time of healing and safety for all.

I think you should calm down. It is my genuine opinion that race is the central issue of our times, and not gender. It is my genuine opinion that a women's march distracts from what's actually important, and for many women, is little more than an opportunity to grab attention. You getting angry with me won't change my opinion.
