In general, I'm surprised that such a "true believer" was permabanned after only 4 mod interactions with a 2,000+ post history in only a year. You're the kind of user they probably wanted to keep around, despite not being in any inner circles. Then again you whined about migrating off of GameFAQs for catching moderator attention there, so it may just be your personality in general. I will say you made an effort to at least try to talk about video games occasionally, and I like your taste in Mega Man, MMX, and Shining Force.

Thanks for being open about picking your brain, it's helpful.

I don't think I've seen such pure hypocrisy in a long, long time. Just fucking disgusting that this kind of shit is allowed to happen.

Holy shit, those tweets are fucking reprehensibly racist.

And to think the same people championing this racist idiot were the same condemning Jontron. I heavily disagree with Jontron's uneducated talking points, but at least he didn't openly gloat about how much he enjoys torturing old black men.

It's hilarious how these people don't realize that if you replaced the word "white" with any other race, they'd be the ones campaigning to get her removed from her job and deplatformed from everything.

Turns out the ones who point and laugh at people arguing "freeze peach" are the ones who argue for it regularly only when it suits them.

Would it be considered "punching down" (the ultimate taboo in the reeeeesetera comedy litmus test) if you're making fun of a chinawoman who most likely makes a decent six figure salary and has a prestigious job at the NYT? Especially if you're a wage slave middle age fat white dude? Asking for a friend.

At least deepflaw has the right name.

He/she is deeply, deeply flawed.

Edit: I need to remember if I start a post, decide to walk away from it, to CLEAR IT OUT OF THE GODDAMN TEXTBOX BEFORE STARTING A NEW ONE.

I AM AN EXCEPTIONAL PEPPER.

Yeah, I've done that a few times and had to go back and edit because I was being a drunken sperg.

I mentioned it previously, but what happened with NeoGAF is kind of an anomaly.

Having crunched the data, all evidence seems to suggest that the attempt to #MeToo Evilore was an attempted power-play to gain control of the site, and while I can't say for sure whether or not this is the case, Malka's certainly suggested several times that this may be the case, and there definitely was some of NeoGAF's staff hoping to profit from the shit-show - whether they were hoping to profit monetarily or politically.

The story goes that the mod team overplayed their hand and it became very clear that Malka wasn't going to step down. Worse, Malka looked into the ones screeching the loudest, and quickly discovered that not only that a few of the mods were openly abusing their power, but doing so to a ridiculous, pants-shitting degree.

Besada was probably the worst as far as unvarnished faggotry is concerned.

Unfortunately for NeoGAF's insane mods, they didn't have a backup plan and pretty much every gaming forum on the planet celebrated NeoGAF's burning. The Gaffots stuck to discord for a time, and wherever they went, they found that the population was less-than-accepting of them, basically telling them to conform to the rules of the forum or fuck off. While they were whining about Nazis, multiple attempts were made to re-establish the hugbox complete with insane mods who had ruined NeoGAF, with most of them dying by the wayside. Ultimately two groups of Gafugees found their way to the promised land: one group established itself on the WayPoint forums, and the other, the one basically by and for the assclowns that ruined the game previously, was ResetERA.

Thanks for the addition. I honestly forgot that theory that it was a power play. Also, you get a winner rating purely because the words "unvarnished faggotry" make me giggle every time I think them.

Protip: they religiously adhere to "power + prejudice = racist", you never get anywhere referring to people like this cunt as racist. If you wanna trigger a chimpout, refer to them as bigoted or prejudicial instead and point out that people like her, by their own logic, should be kept away from positions of power because then they'd be "racist".

Asians statistically do much better than white people, though.

Irrelevant. What Pol is getting at is the whole idea that you can't actually be racist to white people.

Which is an article of faith among certain leftist groups. The only way you fix that is to have reality backhand them in the teeth repeatedly.

There's a funny chrome / firefox extension called racism simulator by rice merchant uncle Chang. The extension can change white to black, men to women, Obama to Trump and a Hitler mode in articles from buzzfeed / huffpo / salon it is amazing how racist / sexist these articles are written. If it was any other group than white or man the author would be fired / deplatformed so fast it would make their head spin. I would love to see the spilled spaghetti of ERA people if they unknowingly had this extension enabled and wonder if it would make the 'can't be racist to whites' people have a rethink.

Asians are basically better than white people by every metric. Learn faster. Earn more. Better looking. Don't lose hair as quickly. Don't go gray as quickly. Why even have white people?

FYI Jeff Gerstmann died years ago and was replaced by a soyboy who defends Jessica Price for fear of CBSi firing him, again.

I hate to be 'that guy' and necro an ancient post but Gerstmann is very much alive and well, at least in the man-child sense. Still writes vidya articles at 43 as 'I have been doing this all my life, why stop now' which is a sadly compelling argument.
