NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

To sum it up, you are saying their positions are centrist and what most people would agree on, but their behavior and inability to see nuance is what makes them extreme.

Not really an issue of actual substance, but more an issue of extreme behavior and temperament. These people look for fights despite the fact that there really isn't much disagreement with the actual positions themselves.

To be honest, there is an issue of this popping up in conservative politics in the US lately.

Here's the thing: GAF is fucked either way. And I mean that.
Let's do a breakdown:

1. GAF GOES BACK TO SOCJUS HAPPY LOCKED CLOSET FORUM

Analysis:If GAF goes back to full SocJus Locked Closet land, the SJWs are happy but not until Evilore steps down. Because he's a rapist by their own value system, which has the hilariously Christian practice of thinking something being as bad as actually doing the deed.
The site has no teeth at this point. It can't even pretend to care about games anymore, and no one is going to support NeoGAF after its very public and hilarious meltdown.

Result: NeoGAF loses its ability to witch-hunt gaming professionals out of the industry, essentially becomes an even bigger shithole than it was, and the only way Evilore maintains control is via proxies. The site ceases to be profitable or useful and is ultimately abandoned because the normies want nothing to do with it.


2. GAF TRIES TO GO BACK TO ITS ROOTS

Analysis: If GAF tries to return to its Game Forum roots, the SJWs leave in droves but the site may actually win back some of the oldfags who otherwise would have posted and didn't. This is offset by the fact that no one trusts Evilore not to do the same shit all over again, so even those who would otherwise give him a pass for the shower sex incident have no reason to put any stock in the guy. Going games-only won't win back the mountains of lost potential and wasted goodwill, and since the Social Justice presence on the site just died, you can kiss any attempt to use NeoGAF as a platform to launch more shithead assaults from goodbye.

Result: NeoGAF is potentially solvent for a bit, but will never be anywhere near as big, profitable, ubiquitous as it was before. Without the Social Justice presence, GAF ceases to be an attacker, but the SocJus gaffots will continue to attack NeoGAF for presumed betrayals, real and imagined alike. Hell hath no fury like an entitled dipshit who got defanged, and they will continue to froth about NeoGAF being the perfect heaven of a world they lost. They will actively try to sabotage NeoGAF at every opportunity, being a constant thorn int he side of GAF until one or both sides is destroyed. Provided the place remains unprofitable, it dies within months.


3. GAF IS LEFT IN ANARCHY

Analysis: Left in a state of limited chaos, nobody gives a fuck about it anymore.

Result: It becomes a shitty forum that's like Inner Circle but with slightly fewer attempts by @Ass Manager 3000 to set up circumcision-related honeypots. The place remains unprofitable and dies within months.


4. NULL BUYS THE DOMAIN NAME, REDIRECTS IT TO EITHER KIWIFARMS OR DEADNAME.INFO

Analysis: The rage would be audible in space.

Result: Mind-blowing hilarity. Would never happen though.

Couldn't help but read this in Ron Pearlman's voice like at the end of a Fallout game explaining endings.

I'll bet that mouse is a furry like Bryan. Amazed someone on cripplechan hasn't doxed him or Lime yet.

Also this was too good to not post. This is your average NeoFAG:

I'm tempted to say it's a fake, but these people have shown themselves to legitimately be this retarded so I don't even know anymore.

And one more collage of salt, just for funsies:

I gotta say, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever witnessed. Not bullshitting. A fascinating study in cult mentality.

I have lurked on threads where people have posted replies along the lines of, "SJWs do not exist, that's generic fighting words made up by angry white(!) racist, sexist college boys." But if this isn't absolute proof that SJWS ARE real and this IS a strict Marxist cult, then I guess I don't know anything anymore.

It was stranger than fiction, like reading any sci-fi story about a robot or supercomputer getting stuck in a thought loop and self destructing. The difference is it was real. That's literally what happened to the hivemind there, and the site imploded within an HOUR of it happening. Literally could not reconcile their "listen and believe" Prime Directive with their beloved site owner doing some shady borderline shit, and it tore them apart.

Holy shit. I mean what the fuck. I'm almost out of breath.

Now that they're (barely) back online, I intend to keep following this story as an anthropology experiment. This is just...wow.

Holy shit, did Malka read my post in this thread? He followed my advice to save GAF to a "T". I never thought he would actually get rid of OT and ban politics as well as "Social" *cough SJW cough* discussion though. This was the only way to truly save the site though and it still isn't a given. He has to open it back up to a lot of people banned for wrong think in the past. Place may be too damaged to really grow again. Guess we shall see, good on him for at least shedding the SJWs and cancerous regressive politics of the old board.

The salt from that cult is delicious right now. Seeing posters calling out SJWs is also heartening. There were a lot of underground normal people on GAF it seems.

I actually believe malka is intelligent and playing his cards wisely. All my fellow gamers will recognize that this Friday marks the release of some EXTREMLY high quality gaming content in the form of high quality products such as Mario odyssey, wolfenstein 2, and assassins creed origins. Malka knows this will get actual gaming convo back on track. Wolfenstein 2 and whatever "controversial" content it contains will satisfy the SJW and distract from neogafs problems.

Malka just has to thread the needle til Friday

If what the lady says is to be believed, what he did, at least in this instance, was utterly tactless but not "rape." When you've got a committed drunk girl who's losing her dinner in your room, it's really not kosher to try and bring your dick into the shower with her.

He was told "no," backed away, but then acted passive-aggressive toward her because he's a basement raised sped. That should have been the end of it but in the Big Book of SJW Consent you can't even walk up to a woman without getting her permission via telepathy, much less surprise her in the shower because you're that fucking stupid.

I remember sometime back in like 2012 or something Ryan Davis said faggot on a livestream and had to apologize. Basically it was a heartfelt apology and everyone even gay users on the site were very gracious in forgiving him. I can only imagine though what would happen if the incident had happened just 2 years later post gamergate. For this exact reason I think Giantbomb has an internal policy of not mentioning politics. I mean I have noticed they go out of their way to not even mention Trump's name on the podcast when they are usually freely talking about whatever other pop culture/current event topic going on like the new menu item at taco bell or whatever.

Having a community entirely about gaming with a no politics rule would be impossible to enforce. It'd be like having a no politics rule in music or something. Half of rap songs are, and everything Macklemore makes is, about social inequalities. Having a no politics rule essentially amounts to a "everything in rap music is true" rule, and songs like "Kill all the Gays and the Faggots" would be hatespeech violating the no politics rule.

Movies are the same. Get Out is now considered the 4th best movie of all time and rides 2 positions behind fucking Citizen Kane. Was it a good movie? Sure. But why is it the 4th best movie of all time with an audience approval score 10 points below the critical score? Because critics eat up that racist slop like it's fucking ambrosia. Can't say that with a no politics rule.

Gimping discussion with arbitrary rules like that never works. If the full range of discussion isn't on the table then really nothing is.
