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

Clearly OVOCanadaBooth is posting outright lies and is a Russian troll, no one can debate that, you literally can't even see what he posted :) https://www.resetera.com/threads/ka...years-that-sounds-like-a-choice.39695/page-36 (https://archive.fo/8vW1N)

Meanwhile, NeoGAF's Gamergate discussion is not only ongoing, but actually letting Pro-GG people talk (@Jaimas will probably do many :islamic: things with strange headache's postings). Not to mention that Jordan Peterson discussions are fully open. They have a Kanye thread. There's even an amir0x update thread!

Is NeoGAF getting better?

At any point previously even discussing the movement at all beyond outright condemnation carried the penalty of being a ban-worthy trespass. Seeing that shit on GAF is fucking surreal.

Keep in mind that Tyler is still firmly Anti-GG (he made a post on the thread, I capped it a while back), but he still kept the discussion open as long as it was civil, most bans there are due to people breaking that rule.

The forum itself is far more readable and tolerable nowadays, the only issue imo is that they need more transparency with Ban reasons, sure, they look comedic on ERA threads, but immediately knowing why a person got banned is better than not knowing, especially if the reason is legitimate.
 
So this...
Kiwis, this is fucking magic.

Recently, RetardERA had a thread on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and we immediately hit a bit of thermonuclear autism on the part of the mod staff, where anyone complimenting Lara's new design or asked for clarification why it was offensive was given a banhammer swing:

Very quickly, the Moderators and Admins of ResetERA had a problem; they were so heavy-handed with this shit that they'd openly banned like 14 people in 2 pages, and the userbase took notice.

Within a few pages, all discussion was of Mod/Admin overreach. Those who participated in discussing mods/admin abuse of authority were immediately banned.

People who brought up rote hypocrisy from said mods were also instantly banned.

Eventually not even adhering to the groupthink could save users:

Finally, the thread ends as probably the biggest shithead on ResetERA (and that's saying a lot) emerged, and caught a facefull of criticism, ultimately locking the thread and blaming misogyny.

What in the actual fuck.
How can that website maintain traffic? Why would anyone want to be part of such community run by totalitarians limp dicks sjws?
 

That would be the same Ryulong who was knowingly doing edits of Wikipedia on behalf of CON.

He's a major reason the GG article on Wikipedia is such a shit-show, responsible for over 20% of its edits by the time he got banned from the site entirely.
 
Ya know I have said this before multiple times but it bears repeating. Resetera is a perfect microcosm of how shit like Pol Pot's Cambodia happened. A bunch of delusional radicals take power over a society, and then begin "reorganising" it according to the various contradictory and ultra fringe conspiracy theories and fucktard utopia ideals they have been huffing, deciding that the best way to deal with those who think/speak/exist contradictory to their dogma is to utterly and permanently purge them, and anyone else suspected of sympathising with them, from that society.

And ofcourse once they run out of people to purge for crimes against the dogma, the dogma begins to "evolve" in order to find more people who need to be purged to protect the revolution, even if this contradicts everything said before within the dogma, since those in charge are so high on their power trip and so narcissistic and out of touch that they genuinely believe that anything that they personally dislike or decide is "suspect" is literal and unforgivable treason, and punish it accordingly.

Even as these mass purges play utter havoc with how the society functions and maintains itself, the leadership doesnt give two fucks, and just decide that their society crumbling is just further proof of the reactionary conspirators among the population and thus justification to ramp shit up even further. All this continues until either an internal revolution, or until the society just runs out of people to keep it going and it crumbles into nothing, in both cases though the radicals who started it hopping to a nearby society to try the whole thing all over again and "get it right this time". The former "Revolution" scenario is basically what happened to NeoGaf and is what led to ResetEra being founded.

Frankly as with so many things I am grateful that the internet acts as flypaper to untold numbers of these wannabe authoritarian fuckwits and keeps them spewing autism and tantrums on forums and such, rather than trying to get into positions of power IRL

What in the actual fuck.

Does this end in them declaring war on a much more populous and better equipped country for no reason and getting ass raped?

I'd say that the Resetera is like the early USSR. The very top brass is run by ideologues but they keep around some "reactionary forces" to keep things running. As stated before long ago, the OT gaming threads mainly discuss games largely uncensored like any other gaming forum and are managed by veteran members who keep the threads clean through the report function and stay uninvolved with all of the political and "political" threads. Even the anime thread is given similar treatment. Only a few game threads have the misfortune of having a dedicated moderator fucking with things but in those threads the mods usually act a bit less crazy.

People invite their friends over to that forum where they have a few threads they post in and occasionally stray from for leaks.

Fucking hell. They genuinely don't get it. They genuinely don't think that if an actual real Nazi government comes to power they will use this sort of precedent to clamp down on their rhetoric and memes and opinions. But then again, why would they. They seem to think that just screeching about being on the right side of histoREEEEEEEEEEE will protect them.

No bans yet, but it's only a matter of time till the page turns as red as a Chairman Mao fanboy fapping to gulag footage.

From what I've seen skimming through the first page, I've seen multiple viewpoints being discussed rationally without dogpiling or a dumbass mod shitting up the place (even someone disgruntled by comic book characters being blackwashed didn't get shat upon). I even kind of like the new layout of the site, as it sort of reminds me of the Farms.

While I'm not sure if it's a great site (I'll need to see more of it to decide), I can certainly say that the new NeoGAF is a far superior discussion forum than ResetERA and the old NeoGAF. This sort of thread on those sites would've been a one-sided affair with tons of users getting banned.

Slightly off-topic but related. I saw this the other day from woke, angry black woman #1488.

These idiots think they’re going to lead the revolution and be in charge if a habdmaids revolution occurs. :story:

These idiots get can’t off twatter for 5 minutes to lead a revolution. They hate guns and don’t know how to use them. The majority of gun owners are conservative/Christians. But yah a bunch of millennials that have zero ambition will lead and win a revolution.

They also don't seem to understand that if there was any sort of secession or revolution, Gileadite or otherwise, the Federal government would send in the troops like a ferret up a trouser leg and would be completely entitled to do it. If the Civil War proved anything, it was that once a state is in the Union it cannot leave under any circumstances whatever. In the novel of the Handmaid's Tale the only reason Gilead worked was because the Federal government was effectively decapitated by false-flag terrorist attacks and they used the confusion engendered by same to take over New England.

My favorite part about "Muh Handmaiden's tale" is that the author based the society in the novel off of of Iran's Islamic republic. They even have modesty police and bearded rulers in robes who are called clerics for fucks sake.
 
This thread is just sort of sad. It's a free for all, no one has been moderated (yet). It's basically a two minute hate. Expect tons of warnings/bans for whataboutism/accumulated wrongthink/opinions SweetNicole disagrees with bans https://www.resetera.com/threads/notch-donated-to-count-dancula-nazi-pug-guy.40697/

I love how they use "actual" something as if that enhances how much of that something that person is, regardless of whether it makes sense or not. You can't be an "actual white supremacist" because you can't fucking be a metaphorical white supremacist.
