Forums - General Discussion - NeoGAF in shambles (now back, no OT discussion, statement from Evilore)

Neogaf was THE number one source of reliable gaming informations, and the moderation made sure that hate posts were banned.

So completely unlike vgchartz...

Censorship turned NeoGAF into the echo chamber that is now burning to the ground.

That was not the reason why it's burning to the ground. It was thriving, the sexual harassment fiasco is what is burning it to the ground.

Why do you always feel targeted in these types of threads? I've always said that vocal male feminists are dodgy and now it's coming to light that, yeah, they are. I think Julian Assange has put it nicely:

Can you fucking stop. You're making no sense and  that tweet is so cringy. 

Why do you say he's making no sense? I also happen to agree with that tweet.

So, the men who are promoting feminism are the sexists in your mind?

I don't see why this is such a big problem for NeoGaf? Is it really that hard to just continue without the guy?

I mean, ioi hasn't cared about us for years, but we're doing quite alright not terrible.

Not only did the snake lose its head, but the moderators and administrators all resigned, and many of its top posters and most relevant members are leaving or have asked for their accounts to be banned/deleted.

Yeah, the site could still continue, if by "just contiue" you mean lurch forward as a shell of its former shelf, with only low-quality posters remaining, and its influence permanently shot to hell.

And the most overused word of this thread is.. SJW. Congrats to all that have run that word into the ground. You are edgy and cool.

People seriously need to stop using words like Nazi (unless they're talking about an actual Nazi, of course) or SJW. They were originally used for very extreme people, but nowadays people use them to call everyone who doesn't agree with them on a political-ish issue.

Words like 'idiot' are banned from this site, but I don't get how these words are any better.

Hahahahahaha! Glad to see that fucking site burn. Those fuckers banned me because I was defending halo 5 sales and they didn't like that; hope they never come back online again! Best news to wake up too ever!



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Still, it feels like an overreaction of the mods an top posters.

"The" sexist? Nope. I think plenty of them are sexist and prone to take advantage of the situation. I think it is one thing to be an ally of something and an other to be part of something. Maybe it is not true, but to say that some men manipulate the stance to increase their reputation with a group of women "doesn't make sense" is wishful thinking, in my mind.

Do you think otherwise?

Oh i just found what this is all about here:

This is all cause he probably got mixed signs and got in the shower with her when they went in a trip as friends. After she said it wasn't ok, he got out and resented her.

It sucks, but i'm not sure this can even be considered Sexual harassment. He didn't actually harass her or touched her from what i understand.

 

The street harrasment part is the only one that is not ok in my view, if true. But that is verbal abuse, not sexual harassment. Not sure it's even a crime unless it's on the workplace or something, but that is not ok.

 

Still, i dunno. This doesn't sound like a super unusual or harassment story. It's just how things happen sometimes. Sometimes people make mistakes. Love is complicated.

The are apprently other incidents involving the guy and as for the shower part unless she invited him into the shower that's a hard case to argue mixed messages if you're not given a full on invite to jump in.



Leftist echo chamber taken down NOT because of sexual misconduct allegations but the reaction to sexual misconduct allegations.

The irony here is astounding.
