Maybe you're more right leaning than you think or know. You did ask for evidence before grabbing the ol' pitchfork. 😹

"Listen and believe", the mantra that did NeoGAF in and what ResetERA took with them. Similar thing happened when sexual harassment allegations were made against Quantic Dream, though the degree of outrage wasn't as large as that against Vavra and Kingdom Come Deliverance.



That's cute.



ResetEra have an unwritten rule. You do not question their opinion. If you do, you will be banned. It's not about what's right or wrong, it's about not going against what Era believes.

It's like an old boys club. Follow the rules or you're out. The rules don't need to be fair and they don't need to make sense.



By the way, does anyone know if NeoGaf became a more "reasonable" (meaning, more to the centre of politics) forum ever since the whole mob left en masse for ResetEra?

Internet forums are not bastions of liberty and freedom of speech. They are spaces made by specific people with specific views.

For example, on mmo champion, you have people defending genocide and saying traitors deserve death (being traitors are innocents that want to be with their families in this case) in the name of a videogame character. If you talk against that, you are the one infracted, because once they hide behind the skirt of their game, they somehow aren't responsible for the inhumane things they say anymore.

Aka people have their agendas everywhere and the internet is an ugly place. You seem like a good guy, i enjoyed one of your follow up posts for the accuracy.
How to say..screw them? Not everyone is worth our time. Maybe they did you a favor.

People are still talking about Kingdom Come: Deliverance and the guy who made it? I thought this was something from months ago.

Groupthink is such shit. Why can't people think for themselves? I just don't get it.

It's disappointing cause I was enjoying the discussions I was having in the Media Create threads there and such. They really know a lot about video games and have a huge source of data going back years and years.



Pfft. Thats the worse place to have a discussuion, its a hivemind echo chamber over there.

There isn't any active political party in the US that is more to the left of them. I don't want to think of the idea of "Hey, since this guy hasn't really said any white supremacist or racist stuff, maybe he isn't a racist?" is some kind of complex idea that relies on political ideology.

I learned this lesson during the Neogaf days. Don't even think about suggesting rational discourse when it comes to anything that has a slight political tinge to it. Just don't do it.

I also consider myself pretty left but after asking some questions akin to yours during the gamergate days i was also permbanned.
