let me clarify one thing, when I made this comment I thought it was Neogaf changing its name, it was a confusion of mine, I have no interest in this ResetEra because they will be formed by the users who spoke the most about politics,I joined Neogaf and Vgchartz, as well as other forums I've visited in the past, because I like games and hate entering these forums and seeing all this drama and politics, when Neogaf came back on the air and started all that show of suicide accounts and users jumping out I laughed a lot, basically staying who wants to talk about games like us, time will tell, but I hope it ends all the politics there or at least slow down a lot. |
agree with this in general. A lot of the people going nuts on GAF and posting immature "BAN ME, THIS SITE IS GROSS" threads seem to be a big portion of the users in the past who were extremely sensitive and would attack anyone who didn't agree with their herd menality. A lot of the mods on GAF who recently quit were like that, erasing posters who didn't fall in line with the group agenda. Hopefully newer mods will be better about that.
the thing that makes it hard to take seriously about this whole thing is that it's based entirely on an unknown quantity. The NeoGAF owner may or may not be a dick as far as the recent accusation, it's unknown at this point. The people leaving and being loud are basically painting the guy as guilty before he's been put to trial (metaphorically).
Which suggests that a lot of these people jumping ship are the same social justice extremers from GAF in the past who would witchhunt any dev or game producer who had even the smallest thing happen. It also is funny timing- supposedly this new activity is all it took for the people on the GAF discord to want to start a new site, but I think it points to the obvious strong possibility that a group on GAF had been discussing off branching for a while and were just waiting for an opportunity to blow extra smoke and take advantage of a scenario
In the end it's fairly safe to expect that some of the mods or owner of whatever ResetEra becomes will also have skeletons in their closets, after all we are dealing with humans, lots of humans, running these forums. and humans are flawed. I just don't buy in the reasoning here. People are acting like the GAF owner murdered someone or something, and like they're heroes or something for asking to get banned on a forum. what a joke
