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

It's not really a crime to cheat, but putting that aside, her story doesn't really make sense. If she was so offended why would she then willingly proceed to have a relationship for several weeks with said person? IMO it sounds like they hooked up, had a relationship for a few weeks, it went south, and now she's bitter about it.

Oh, absolutely, and that's not what I'm saying. Because the conversation was so one sided and people had already found Evilore guilty because of an 'accusation', and hated him anyway (compartmentalisation people. Look it up), I felt the need to look at it from HIS perspective and point out that 'interpretation' SHOULD go both ways, if that's how we're going to form an opinion. Clearly (if this is 100% true), she's not being honest and people owe Evilore an apology, whether he's as ass hole or not.

The issue is that I have no idea how this conversations reached to this when I never entered the feminism conversation. At this point, I honestly don't care about being right. 

 

I don't think you're idiotic or anything (not sure if you can say the same), but I'm truly lost as to what happened from my first comment to your response. What is it even over? 

 

because you were challenging me stating that feminism is an irrational ideology... i suppose i was just trying to see your perspective since you think the opposite, i suppose all i can say now is to ask you to sincerely look at what feminists are campaigning for now and ty to determine for yourself if their current stated goals are in anyway sensible or even desirable for men and women

 

i don't think they are and i have difficulty believing others do tbh... and in many cases like with the owner of neogaf... they do not, they simply use the ideology as a cloak to mask their true intentions which are sociopathic

 

uh... to those who keep saying that feminism is irrelevant here - the very reason neogaf is falling apart is that its owner claimed to uphold feminist values and then was outed as a misogynist

Aeolus brought a point that helped me understand you properly. When I mentioned feminism, I was referring to the overall movement, not the modern day feminism in western countries.

 

I will certainly say their priorities are in the wrong locations. Instead of doing ridiculous movements like the Pussy hat movement or whatever, it'd be nice if they focused on women in the US who actually need help...a lot of poor women can't afford hygiene products. I don't know about you, but I'd rather help the women who need certain items instead of wasting my time with silly rallies (pussy hat rally, slut rally, etc).

 

Feminism is good and has the ability to still be useful, but the approach many take nowadays is something I won't stand by.

 

I agree with you more, but at first I failed to see your original point

Yes the accuser herself apparently has told Kotaku in an interview that after the shower incident she proceeded to have a "physical relationship" with this Malka guy and they then broke up around E3. Her story sounds pretty fishy if that's the case. 

I wonder if he will turn around and try to sue her for damages. 

Indeed. The bottom line is, if she had a physical relationship with the guy after he allegedly assaulted her, then it looks very bad on her part.

Yes.

If everying including the updates turn out to be true then this is a perfect reason as to why you don’t hook up with conflicted individuals, they can literally ruin your career or business, stay away.

and please don’t hop in the shower with a person unless invited, lovers or otherwise, gotta give him heat over that part.



I'm actually angry. Come on you 'cowards', the people who immediately found Evilore guilty, admit you could be wrong. Fucking disgraceful.

 feminism is pretty much dead in terms of activity in all areas where it would be needed

in fact i would say that there is an inversely proportional relationship between women being treated poorly by a society and the presense of feminism

 

"it'd be nice if they focused on women in the US who actually need help"

 

well tbh i don't really believe that the aim is to help women at all (by the elements that actually have power, not by the random people who follow what they are told), but that's my opinion

 

"a lot of poor women can't afford hygiene products."

 

well that's what being poor means for both men and women

we define poor people as people who lack the money to buy things

 

the thing is that i don't disagree that women's interest shoud be looked out for, i totally stand behind that, but it must be done in a sensible logical way, not a way that is entirely guided by emotional rhetoric



I liked GAF for news, leaks, etc.

Here for sales data and conversation. However, both have been in decline for awhile now.

Now I'll need to follow more folks on twitter to get the news/leaks that this site sucks at getting/summarizing/discussing.



and the site went from a HTTP 503 (scheduled maintenance) to a HTTP 502, bad gateway
could mean that someone pulled hardware.. or that it is just totally over-loaded and on the way up..

They can't afford it, but let's be honest - tampons and other products just cannot be ignored. 

 

I'd happily support any movement which made it easier for a woman to have access to products she may need during her time of the month. Unlike slut rallies, it'd actually help them.

As for the continued political (off topic) posts, Carl gave the Warning long ago and some continue to ignore it. So, I'm backing it up, here. After this, I'll unfortunately have my own moderations to tackle. Please be mindful of his request and keep it to the Neogaf Discussion.

~ Thanks guys.

Yeah, but man, context is everything in this case. Before we can attribite guilt, we have to consider what defines guilt and then decide whether that definition is legitimate. We live in an era where guilt of 'rape' is simply saying the wrong thing (in some certumstances). If this broader discussion isn't allowed then we might as well not discuss it at all. Lock the thread.
