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

A recent kotakuinaction thread on reddit brought up the subject of pedophilia support on Neogaf and linked to an old KiA thread about pedophilia on Neogaf.

Anyway, the thread's a year old but I'll post the info in it here for posterity:

A poster on Neogaf, ArchedThunder, defends pedophiles and compares them to minorities who face discrimination, which invokes an angry response from a user named Fiction as they claim to be a rape victim:View attachment 197726
A moderator named Opiate then tells the rape victim to stop posting because being a victim of sexual abuse makes them unfairly biased against pedophiles:View attachment 197727
Responding to another user calling bullshit, Opiate says that Fiction will be banned if they keep posting anti-pedophile stuff:View attachment 197728
This moderator, Opiate, has a history of defending literal child-rape by pedophiles. From a Ralph Retort article on him:View attachment 197729 Explicitly defending raping kids:View attachment 197730
I'm sure you don't just have to imagine those things, Opiate. Opiate was de-moded after a lot of people called for it. Note that he was only de-moded, not actually banned (unlike a lot of the people calling him and the other pro-pedophiles out, who were banned).

The Kotaku in Action reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAc...ogaf_moderator_threatens_to_ban_a_poster_who/

Anyway, back to today. The main thread was talking about the Neogaf user Titanboa (the one who recently claimed to work as a medical professional and purposefully fuck-up taking blood to hurt patients with political opinions they don't like) having their username changed by Neogaf to protect them:

Christ. I knew Gaffots were lolcows, but this is just outright scumbaggery.

"It isn't the pedophiles faults! Society is to blame!"
 
Man, the more i read the more creeped i am. Besada went so far to change Titanoboa name to Already Torn instead of simply baning and giving the guy another account, so we know he was trying to pretend this never happened.

This goes beyond "sjws gonna sjw", this is straight up protecting the identity of a torturer he probably knows IRL. And the scarier thing is, some guys even tried to defend him. I'm saving this one comment in particular:

>"The torture he did was nothing compared to those people having different opinions"

(:_(
It's literally medical malpractice but yeah it's no big thing because those people he's inflicting pain on have different opinions. Different opinions are literally murder, who cares if someone gets thrombophlebitis from a deranged phlebotomist with a vendetta against certain political opinions.

Christ, it's a race to the bottom to protect the ~narrative~.
 
About a day after it was found out that Titanoboa's name got changed to Already Torn, he got banned. He didn't post a single thing since the cleanup job, so I think it's obvious Besada found out the name change became public and is now just giving him a new account.

The Dave Chappelle thread was hilarious. Lots of people mad about jokes. Some of them even attacked Lord Virgin for attending.

All right, Galadriel. Despite you being possibly the most thin-skinned person here, as evidenced by that last little bit telling that user to go fuck themselves, I'll engage you. It's not pathetic or absurd to want to hold someone who founded a site you enjoy browsing to a higher standard. It wasn't even a direct attack on you. It certainly wasn't indirectly calling you a virgin, which as we all know is the most insulting thing you can be called and most be dealt with in the harshest of ways. So far, I haven't see a single person who is criticizing these jokes be legitimately unwilling to have a real discussion or shut down one. You aren't being condemned, Tyler the Creator. You just can't take a joke.
But hey, support of outright transphobia is cool around here, right? Even the mods get in on the fun!

So yeah, let's be real: there are plenty of people on GAF who kinda hate this place but use it because there isn't a good alternative, and there are loads of people not on GAF who fucking abhore it. But here's the rub- you could have a great thing here, Tyler. A well-moderated forum that isn't filled with insane people who can't take criticism could be fantastic.

NeoGAF ain't that. Maybe it was at one point, but the GAF of right now is a fauxgressive safe space.

NeoGAF is a fucking internet forum. I'm not gonna waste anymore of my time trying to make people understand why those jokes could be seen as transphobic. It's really not worth it.[/url]

The gay and trans stuff in the first special is some weak shit. A gay superhero who's defined by his habit of changing clothes all the time? The gayest member of a gay couple should be the "wife"? Trans women tricking guys into fucking them? It's not actually oversensitive in the least to take issue with this retrograde nonsense. "Tone" and "context" really aren't valid excuses here. He didn't deliver this stuff with a wink.

I get that part of Dave's comedy persona is to act like so-called PC objections are for whiners and elitists or whatever, but if he's going to go out of his way to be transgressive, he could at least have reasonably clever punchlines and avoid unironically reinforcing backward stereotypes.

In the age of Wikipedia and vlogging, it's not actually very hard at all to understand where LGBT people are coming from, and show a minimum of respect by, say, not repeating the demeaning lie that all gay men are hyperfeminized sissies, and not referring to trans women like they're men who chopped their dicks off to improve their "disguises." It's not funny or even particularly bold. It's just parroting ignorant opinions and inviting people to laugh in recognition.

Age isn't an excuse for someone like Dave Chapelle, an intelligent and worldly man who's had the opportunity to meet all kinds of people. This shit belongs back in the 90's where a comedian could still plausibly claim not to get "those people."

"Protip: if you can't take a joke, maybe don't watch comedy specials.

Loved the first set, waiting till tomorrow to watch the second with the wife."

Said every high school bully and verbally abusive jackass ever. Jokes should be funny, or at least make you think by highlighting the absurd or ironic. And besides, humor isn't a free pass to take cheap swings at oppressed minorities.

"Take a joke," wow. I don't think I've ever seen this phrase rolled out to defend anything other than mean-spirited tripe.

Pashmilla even found the hill it wanted to die on.

Remember when "punching down" merely meant not shitting on the poor and downtrodden? Last I checked, troons who make 5K on Patreon a month aren't.

Which troons actually make $5000 a month on Patreon? Brianna Wu doesn't make anywhere near that.

This is just straight up doublespeak. I wonder if we could get a decent salt thread out of reactions to chappelle's comeback.
 
Amir0x says he's become radicalized and will assault those he views as a Nazi.
I know, no two ways about it. I'm genuinely radicalized... I am furious at America and Republicans. One of my life's goals now is to live long enough to see them destroyed, and diminished as a relevant factor in American politics. Before I thought Republicans were a necessary component of this country, still worth saving. After seeing how they treated Obama, how they stole Garland's seat, how they supported this monster Trump... I want nothing but to see them eviscerated. Republicans are more dangerous to Americans than ISIS.

If you think my posts here are passionate though, hoooo boy. Don't read my twitter timeline lol

Punching literal Nazi's is as far as I'd go. We're not at the bloody violence level yet :P

Did he think his mother was a Nazi for not allowing him to watch South Park?

If anyone finds his criminal record (Christopher Goldberg from Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania) make a thread. I've only found his drug arrest from last year but he claims to have been arrested for beating up his mom and hitchhiking. He's also said that he gets into a bunch of fights and robbed houses as a teenager. I used to think he was just an edge lord (before that meant pedophile) but after that drug arrest some of it's true. The only thing that's changed in the last 10 years is that he doesn't brag as much.
 
I don't know why Evilore still puts up with him. He was a moderator for years and he wasn't demodded for being a lowlife criminal. Today the forum would hang him from the rafters for jizzing on a photo of another member's girlfriend and sharing it around. He didn't even get demodded for using his mom's medical money (which he begged from the forum) to buy drugs. He got demodded because the sack of shit would go back and edit his posts to win arguments.
 
"Republicans are more dangerous to Americans than ISIS."

Truly the words of a sheltered bitch who takes the good things in his life for granted.

Statements like this only happen because fatalities in the United States from terrorism are extraordinarily rare. If he lived in one of the few states where violent Islamism is a significant cause of death and destruction, he'd quickly change his tune.

He also probably wouldn't be using NeoGAF. I doubt their user base from anywhere suffering serious civil strife is very large, though I have seen Afghans, Pakistanis, Yemenis, Syrians, Somalis, Egyptians, and Iraqis on Reddit and YouTube before.
