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

Its actually pretty great the amount of Infighting this has caused. Its like watching a sandcastle some kids have build for a few hours finally get finished, only for there mum to come over, kick the shit out of the castle, piss on the floor and run off with some local black dude.

Evilore sucks? fucking gamergater get off my Neofag REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Evilore did nothing wrong? fucking gamergater get off my NeoGaf REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I would be extremely surprised if Evilore was not thinking now 'Fuck, I did nothing wrong, how many times has this happened to other innocent people before?'
What if this leads to him absorbing the Red Pill due to finding out that the SJW community is causing some serious harm with these easy rape allegations. I would heartily laugh if he becomes the exact opposite of what he is atm.

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.

I would argue that maybe you could salvage the place if you had controlled anarchy, and set up moderators to only ban for things that are literally illegal and otherwise just let it run its course. An open place to talk about video games where you don't really have to worry about politics and shit wouldn't be a bad thing, especially after GG. I'm not sure if NeoGAF is capable of this (I agree with you, I think they're too far gone), but I do think it's theoretically possible.

No matter what happens though, I don't think the big name media sites will be using Neogaf for reporting purposes anymore.

It wasn't even really the "old NeoGAF" before this current shit storm.

Honestly, who from the "industry" was still there as of last week?

That moron from 343 Industries, I guess. But who else? Most people had jumped ship by now (or, ironically enough, were banned).

I love the irony behind today's bannings.
>Neogaf's rules become more relaxed
>more people are getting banned than what was typical even when bishoptl was around

The developer of Dust: An Elysian Tail was posting there very recently due to his new upcoming game.

But the point would still stand that the industry involvement in NeoGAF is not at the same level it was years ago, would it not?

I don't think NeoGAF's nadir came over the weekend. I think it came long before then.

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.

I think he's trying to get rid of the soc jus crowd, and in a very hamfisted way too..

It's impossible to completely avoid politics in games.. Some games like MGS are almost all political & social arguments..
