There will be new mods and I cannot believe they will let that shit fly.GAF had mods for that.
Those mods are now gone. This is not a safe space for LGBT anymore.

So can we actually elaborate on who the "certain people" are and who are the "others" they treat so horribly?
I mean it's all well and good repeating this page after page, but I'm pretty sure that even.after hundreds of pages of debate on this since the forum came back up, nobody is saying who they're actually talking about?
"The people kept on saying the thing to them and it wasn't nice imo" can only advance this debate so far.
In one of the other topics RIGHT NOW (the "sickening, people showing true colors" thread I think) there is a guy who said he thinks gay/straight is more of a spectrum and he's seen people move along it in his time (including himself). He mentioned people devoted to a church moving towards the straight side. That's probably what pissed people off. But he did immediately denounce conversion therapy, calling it torture.
He was met a several posters saying things like "Fuck you." and "Go fuck yourself.", etc. This is along the lines of what people are talking about. And in the past it very often takes a lot less than this to elicit that kind of reaction. To claim stuff like that never happened around here means you're living under a rock.
Way to rally around a bad poster.

Who's rallying around him? I didn't see a single person in that topic agree with him. Nobody is rallying around him.
Stop defending homophobes.
You get NeoGAF already isnt, right?! The community left is GamerGate/4chan and those too simple/ignorant to understand whats happening.
You can't label everybody staying back that simply. For some of us this community was our home on the internet, and we are still willing to fight for it. I also greatly value the rich history of GAF, do you really want to see the forum taken offline forever and have all of those threads lost to time? I don't.
You get NeoGAF already isnt, right?! The community left is GamerGate/4chan and those too simple/ignorant to understand whats happening. Hatred is not okay to stand by and let roll.
Also those nice detailed threads you enjoyed were made by hard working progressive members that already left or are going to. Conservative red neck assholes arent going to put the work in for detailed write ups and elaborate OTs. They are too lazy and complain about anything that their delicate snowflake eyes cant handle seeing about social and environmental issues.

Do you really want to stay in an oasis of rednecks with nothing good to say about anything or anyone?!
Fight for change not legacy. The Neo part was for change but still celebrated the GAF part. You can do the same. Do you really want to stay in an oasis of rednecks with nothing good to say about anything or anyone?! They blame their misery on the world rather than working on themselves and others.

This might be the wrong time and place to ask and its a genuine question but can someone explain what gamergate is or what a gamergater is? Seeing it pop up a lot and Im typically out of the loop.
My patience is gone for those who seek to make the world a worse off place with their borderline apathy and insincerity so yes, Im definitely not on the sidelines hedging. If trolls want this forum they can have it. Gaf was a liberal haven that stood on the front of the rights of the many. Active moderation was a part of that, the site owners and others interests conflicted with that. And the snowflakes cant handle being told to act right.ironically this post reeks of pent-up hatred and anger

Now that the dude's banned, can we agree that "fuck you" does nothing to cultivate a civil and insclusive atmosphere. "Fuck you" doesn't change minds, it doesn't help people in need of support. It just makes the poster feel better about himself.Stop defending homophobes.

There are people on gaf that need to stop and reflect on what they say and why. They may be on the right side, but their actions are nothing but self indulgent. Do they act like that in real life? I can't imagine so.
I'm only criticizing the left here because it's only a problem for the left on gaf. Plus I identify and agree with them, so it makes it more frustrating for me when people on my side are assholes. :/
Also, have some of you guys even been to 4chan? Stuff on here is tame compared to what I've heard there. It's like a dick measuring contents over who can be more antisocial.

The idea that you can't respect what needs to be respected while also limiting political discussion is preposterous.

You got people who super support NeoGAF now saying discussions are important and we should be civil with people who think differently (bigots).
That vilifying bigots is bad because it ruins discourse.
I'm sorry, but NeoGAF is quickly turning alt-right and you're going to see more of this coming. This place is not welcoming ATM.
Yeah, the snakes are in the garden now.

Dude before the weekend gaf was Uber left to a point where any deviation was villified. I stand for equal rights and support a 2 state solution in Israel and because I support Israel was told I was a terrible person.My patience is gone for those who seek to make the world a worse off place with their borderline apathy and insincerity so yes, Im definitely not on the sidelines hedging.

What? Where? For a couple of dissenting opinions?
You really should come up with actual numbers instead of this mere "impressions", the only offensive shit I've seen so far is from the people leaving.
