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

They apparently aren't old enough to remember how right-wing Christians repeatedly gave free advertising to and made the products they boycotted more popular. Even longer ago, "Banned in Boston" used to be something you'd put on your front cover.

The left has truly become how they painted the old right. Moralistic, overbearing, and paranoid. It's tragicomic.
 
During all the screeching over Subnautica, another goldmine of futile rage was unfortunately overlooked, and that is Kingdom Come, which is a game coming out that is made by a vERAfied Nazi™, white supremacist, etc. etc. fill in the blanks yourself.

A dedicated thread for it was finally made as the moderators graciously deigned to allow discussion of the game. Of course that requires a four-paragraph mod warning header. Here's one paragraph:

They're not kidding. Already someone got banned for questioning whether he is actually racist. Disagreement is not allowed:

Compare to how they've been moderating boycotters:

Swear at another user while agreeing with mods? Warning. Politely question whether the mods are right that he is racist? Extended ban.

Unfortunately, I doubt there will be more excitement in that thread because most of the exceptional people are boycotting the game so they can't actually talk about it.

The boycott is looking to become yet another Resetera success story – Kingdom Come is now the top-selling game on Steam and it hasn't even released yet.
Shit like this is why ERA is a far worse video game forum than GAF was.

With GAF, even when there were witch hunts or some other exceptional shit going on in the regular board, the OT threads at least allowed for a relatively safe means to talk about the games themselves. Not ERA, even the OT threads are bound to the mod's personal feelings on the latest "outrage", where any dissenting opinion is enough to get banned.

If you can't even talk about a game without the fear of being banned, then you have a failure of a forum.
 
The thing with Resetera is that they're racists but they don't want that image. They want to look like people who genuinely stand up for equality and against hate but when you look at the moderation...

From my experience of NeoGAF, they're basically just a bunch of dipshit upper-middle class white Idpoller Liberals who basically want to use progressive social issues to bully others because if you bully people or be extremely authoritarian while being morally righteous, you can basically freely engage in bullying behaviour and society won't punish you for it. I also honestly believe they're mostly outrage junkies as well and pretty much addicted to both outrage and then the ability to bully people. Another thing is that they suffer heavily from a form of "noble savage" where basically minorities are all perfect paragons of justice and goodness and white people are pretty much evil. (Irony being 99% of them are white and upper middle class)

During 2016, most of us "far-lefties" were banned off Neogaf simply because we supported Economic Justice over Identity Politics. But because Economic Justice would not only help poor minorities, but poor white people, we were all branded as Racist, non-stop abused for weeks on end and then eventually banned, while these dipshits circlejerk over Neoliberals like Clinton and Neoconservative foreign policy. (PoC lives don't matter when KWEEEEEN drones the fuck out of their weddings you see they just get SLAAAAYYYYEED)
Man the level they hated Bernie Sanders was unreal. Honestly I believe if Bernie had won over Clinton, all the PoliGAF dickheads would have voted Trump just to spite Bernie and the left. Literally anybody who came into PoliGAF supporting Bernie was almost instantly banned.

I think this is one of the more interesting facets of SJW's when you give them a chance to put their money where their mouth is they run back to the status quo. They don't really want to fight injustice they just want to be assmad.

A lot of it is honestly self-flagellation.
They are upper middle class, largely comfortable white people but they know that being in that position is privileged over poor and minorities, so they basically engage extreme "Social Justice" to basically cover the fact that they're the definition of the people they hate the most.

But here is the thing, they're rich white kids and they don't actually want to lose that position and privilege. Sure they'll fight for the poor black person or female to become a CEO because that doesn't affect them personally. What happens though when actual leftists appear and start spouting economic justice and class issues? "Oh no, that's me, I'm a rich fuck who's got a lot of undeserved wealth and privilege!" and they REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE The fuck out and try to smear the ever living shit out of the actual real leftists.

This is why these dipshits on PoliGAF or subs like /r/ESS or /r/PoliticalDiscussion or Twitters Wokesphere, #Resistance absolutely detest Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn, Melenchon etc while claiming they're the champions of social justice, because they realise that when actual people appear who suddenly have class in the discussion. Their "WOKE" cred is out the window because they're fucking porkie pieces of shit. This is why PoliGAF constantly used that dumbass smear "Brocialist" or "Working class means white" shit, it's because they actually feel personally threatened by discussion of class or economic justice and actual proper leftists were banned enmass for "Brocialism" and "Racism" for simply saying something like Universal Healthcare helps minorities as well.

Making a game that is historically accurate and about your culture is apparently racist now.
 
It means you can talk about the game – and they'll even allow you to enjoy it – but you can't praise the developers for it.

"Great game. Everything I've wanted. Fuck you Vavra & Warhorse!"
– officially sanctioned opinion

"Great game. Everything I've wanted. Good work devs!"
- HARAAAAAAM REEEEEEEEEE

Then there's the people who actually buy games, who don't give a shit about any of this.

If Steam ratings are anything to judge by, those people aren't even paying attention to the REEEEEEEEE brigade. They don't even know it exists.

I've been playing Kingdom Come as it happens. It is great fun and very nicely put together. Bit rough around the edges but it is a new release.

It's also rather difficult and you can't save when you want to unless you have "Saviour's Schnapps" to hand. This is sort of to prevent save scumming. The combat is fun and I do like that your gear gets beaten up very, very quickly, but there's always ways to sneak or talk your way out of things - if your stats are high enough.

I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of overt white supremacist ideology though like what these specimens said there was inevitably going to be. Why, it's not even a male power fantasy because you start the game as an untrained, uneducated normie. How will we cope with something so unproblematic?

Oh wait, what's that? You can hire a whore in the public baths? MISOGYNY REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Fahrenheit 451 is somehow now alt-right.

Anyone who says that is a literal Nazi.

The doublethink is rather creepy if you ask me.

In fact, just to point out another bit of creepy hypocrisy, these people are masters of blackwhite, or the belief that black is white when their ideology calls for them to say as much.
