By Uncle Sensei Go To PostI was banned cause I said it was unfair to criticize Halo 5 for not being Destiny. Things were weird there the last few years
Why would anyone want to play Destiny PvP?
By Random Ass Username Go To PostDon't have caps of the post I linked direct. But…
damn, seems I missed that stuff. I did think it was strange to see a lot of regulars suddenly banned, but I never imagined it was because of that. ugh.
Hey Evilore, you maniac! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you to hell!
Hey all, I guess this is the temporary home for GAF refugees? Didn't post much there, probably won't here, but I hope I can squeeze in between some conversations here and there.
Fuck Evilore, that is all
Fuck Evilore, that is all
I never bothered with Tyler cause he seemed like a douchenozzle and it was easy to just ignore since he rarely posted and all outside rumors of neogaf were from repugnant peeps so it was just ignore or go down some rabbitshithole with a GGer :(
It was just a forum to post stuff, its all.

Shit's really going down, isn't it? Been out of the loop since around Friday morning, just caught up on all this. I've always had this place bookmarked in case a bomb went off over there. Seems like this has been the most successful gaf exile alternative. I have to say that desktop usability isn't quite there yet, though. Could use more distinct differentiation between posts. It looks pretty but it all kind of runs together. Mobile is a little better.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostYeah it was a thread in which some Screen Junkies dude was being outed by tons of women for his sexual harassment and dude made it his mission to turn that thread into a "but one accusation can ruin a man" soapbox. Another gem.Yeah that was the post that launched some people debating and taking issue with the idea to outright initially dismiss a woman coming forward. After that evilore started banning everyone, even told a guy to fuck himself after banning him. It was depressing. Glad people took screens.
By Ref_Fuji Go To PostWhen stump left it was over.i hadn't been following it super closely but i knew that some mods had left and figured that was all there was to it. i went out to eat, came back an hour later, and stump was gone, and at that point, yeah, i knew shit had gone bad.
By HylianSeven Go To PostHoly shit I used to post on Nsider back in the day….To put it into perspective just how active I was on that site, I was so active on NSider, that I was considered a "Sage" by Nintendo and was sent a pin and certificate by them.
Hard to tell the red flags when you got rose colored glasses on. But it was so obvious what was happening there. Walls were closing in.
By FreezePeach Go To Postmoderation became so strict and thin that basically the mood of the day controlled who got banned. You had varying levels of acceptance which confused people and made them more agitated and strict. On one hand, i understand this logic in today's day in age with fake news and nazis, on the other it does have an adverse affect. Balancing acts always end messy when sized up to scale.
he was an incredible member with the best things and beat timdog
But that’s exactly the problem it did create group think. The punching Nazis thread was a perfect example. The thread and site leaned to advocating violence against people who had not committed violence basically on the premise that they supported a violent group. When someone posted research in another thread indicating than majority of Americans especially POC do not advocate attacking people for openly supporting non violent Nazism, mods did everything in their power to discredit that.
There was tremendous groupthink and it became toxic. While I certainly would understand if someone got punched in the mouth for being an Nazi asshole, I don’t believe in advocating violence of any sort on a non violent person. Yet somehow that viewpoint is frowned upon...

To be fair some of us didn't even know.
Not until I found out about Amirox.

By Karpalajoe Go To PostI knew and I was just a casual lurker for two years, how do you explain that ? I just typed Tyler Malka on google once. It sounds strange to me that some people spend days and night on gaf, sometime for more than a decade without being aware about anything regarding Malka behavior. It's possible, but very unlikely. It's on google first page if you type Tyler Malka, and he's not just the owner of the site, he's very well known on the forum. It's not a guy in the shadow who runs the site, he's - was - like a totemic figure there.
Look at the mod situation. They knew because they kept closing thread, erasing posts and stuff to cover everything about Malka or the pedo mod and sometime other creepy stuff (like Malka supposedly harassing a female number who refused to sleep with him or something like that IIRC). There is 0 doubt they knew about his behavior and yet, they decided to quit the board when the shit was too big to cover. Why quitting just now ? Why should it be different for "normal" members ?
Who in the blue hell is googling Tyler Malka. Good grief, that's not expected behavior. I have been on GAF since before it was Neo on two separate accounts and had never heard any of this. All I knew of EviLore was that he could be a jerk at times so I generally steered clear of him.
Saw this site being linked from gaf before things went completely off the rails, and since it looks like things are staying off the rails for who even knows how long I figured I might as well sign up over here. D;
I've only known about gaf for about a year, been a member for maybe half a year and not super involved in the community or anything, but it was a great source for news both gaming and otherwise as well as discussion w/o all the typical internet shitposting. I really enjoyed browsing it every day and don't want it to die off, but things are looking so crazy bad right now. Like, I've never seen a site combust this hardcore before. If it really can't be pulled back up on its feet, it's going to be a super shame seeing a site like that go.
But I guess positive note to everything, at least I discovered a few new forums to try outta it.

Is there any story behind Bish stepping down a few months back? I’ve seen him post a bit over the last week or so, but no longer a Mod/admin.

I never found out what happened there.

Nazism shouldn't be allowed.
Would you allow ISIS to openly recruit in our streets?
By TheHunter Go To PostTo be fair some of us didn't even know.Nah I'm not saying y'all had to. I'm just making a point that dude straight up hijacked that particular thread for a purpose. People were permed with no bristling, at least publicly from the mods once again. Now they're dipping I guess.

IIRC he was the one that was developing a game and didn't want there to be any conflict of interest so he stepped down.
By FreezePeach Go To PostThere it is! That was the thread i was talking about a few posts ago i wish i had. LIke 20 more people got banned there, good folk too. Wonder where they are. Most went to discord i think.
Check Twitter..most go by the same name there.
By TheHunter Go To PostTo be fair some of us didn't even know.

Same. I missed a lot of the earlier shit that went down. Hell, I didn't even know about Tyler's trip (and behavior) until after the ScreenJunkies thread blew the fuck up.
Let’s not play the “different opinions” song
I thought it was to focus on work

Another case of not really coming out and saying anything. From what I heard it seemed he did a bad but since no one said anything its hard to even know what it was or anything.
By Altazor12 Go To Postwhat the hell is "non-violent nazism"?!
There's no such thing. Nazism is violence.
Bruh if you trying to question the efficacy of shutting nazis the fuck up by barring teeth you learned shit all from WW2.
We had to have a full fledged World War because they weren't dealt with and like the fascist clowns they are, couldn't stay in their lane, as that is the modus operandi of that ilk.

By Altazor12 Go To Postwhat the hell is "non-violent nazism"?!A mythcial thing for moderates and both siders to cling to.
By MikeBreezy92 Go To PostWell said Gaf Drama made me join so hey 👋🏿🤔
By Hitch Go To PostFirst they came for RockBand-GAF, and I said nothing
Fixed for truth
By Altazor12 Go To Postwhat the hell is "non-violent nazism"?!it's like their janitors and secretaries or the folks who do nazi accounting i assume
By Random Ass Username Go To PostDon't have caps of the post I linked direct. But…OMG this is what true facism looks like. Are Trump and Evilore really the same person? Lol
By DY_nasty Go To Postfor the record, you can take the nazi stuff elsewhere lol
But can I still talk about Destiny endgame being about friends?
By Moris Go To PostThere's no such thing. Nazism is violence.
Amen..
I just believe in purging all nonwhites from society, however that gets accomplished, especially for my own economic prospects.
/s
Sorry Dy.

Sorry Dy.
this is def an intense thread. To be expected though. Im still reeling, and i was banned 3 months ago. That's when you know shit messed.
By TheHunter Go To PostWhy would anyone want to play Destiny PvP?I didn't play Destiny 2 beyond level 20, but I like the PvP in the Destiny 2 beta I played on PC. Looking forward to more of that tbqh.
By Altazor12 Go To Postwhat the hell is "non-violent nazism"?!
Politely asking blacks to go back to africa and latinos to go back to mexico I guess

Well that's okay! As long as you're non violent!
That's a really stark and obvious example, I should have bought it up
When Spencer got punched, (not long ago at all in context of how long it usually takes for sea-changes in attitude), the conversation was 'is it right to physically assault somebody who is reprehensible, but not actually being violent themselves?'
That's a debate that has been going on for centuries, but gaf answered it with a resounding 'yes, and fuck off if you disagree with it' in what, weeks? Days even?
And ever since, there's been a distinct lack of debate against it when the subject emerges. The argument was lost, anything to the contrary deemed Nazi-sympathisers, and people who dared disagree shouted out of threads
It is not a healthy way to promote Tyler's favourite word, discourse, in the slightest
edit: I feel having read the responded made while I was typing this that I'm going to catch some flak

By Random Ass Username Go To PostDon't have caps of the post I linked direct. But…Yeah I remember that mess. I just stayed out of most of OT. Stuck to Sales-GAF and Nintendo threads.
I swear every time some call themselves a male feminist, the Djinn from The Wishmaster pull some shit behind the scenes.
They should leave the site up for a few days so people can organize themselves.
There's gotta be a lot of people who have no idea whats going on rn lol

Being a bit dramatic but it feels so shit to lose gaf....with things on the web the way they are its like going to war with no weapon. Not sying I would have been a GGer or w/e in a past life but I leanred alot there...alot from black gaf mostly lol but it sure made me think about stuff more.
2017.....fuck me.
2017.....fuck me.
By Altazor12 Go To Postwhat the hell is "non-violent nazism"?!White Supremacist who don’t have the actual balls to do anything about it. They have shitty opinions but that’s the only danger they pose as like it said they don’t have the balls to do anything else.
By FreezePeach Go To Postthis is def an intense thread. To be expected though. Im still reeling, and i was banned 3 months ago. That's when you know shit messed.To be honest, I like this thread a lot because it's been hard to discuss this on places like Twitter or Reddit without constant alt right nonsense every two posts.
This has been the only place where discussion is relatively calm, all things considered.
