By Necronomicon Go To PostI'm giving you the benefit of doubt here.I know that there's a movement but it's the way she phrase it during that interview like she meant no harm to Malka and it was just a story.
You may have missed that there is a whole movement currently going through twitter and facebook, with victims of abuse to come out with posting a "me too" on their accounts.
She is talking now about it, because she felt, at last, save about speaking up.
A lot of victims are ashamed or afraid to do that, and the "me too" movement gave her the courage to speak up.
What did she think would happen? It's pretty naive if she thought he wouldn't get the heat - rightfully so - that he's getting at the moment.
By Rivyn Go To PostI think I am officially done with NeoGAF.
I tried to go back the past few hours but it just feels… off.
It kind of feels like I am promoting the behaviour of EL, and I am not just talking about his recent allegation.
The whole amir0x situation was quite a disgusting debacle as well.
Here's hoping ResetERA will give me the new forum I need. Anyone know how to get invited for that?
By Alcotholic Go To PostAmazing post from Deli2000 on Gaf
Truth bombs all around
It was quite disturbing for me to read that thread where people suggested that the person was paranoid or had mental issues than white people giving him the looks for going out to check his mail box.
Neogaf kinda in many ways reminded me of my country men (Norwegians) where we pretend to be on the right side or fair people. However when it comes to it, it is all an act and people fail to actually reflect over their own bad actions. As people have pointed out the mob mentality dogpiling on each other to find small flaws and quote old post and history.
It was only a few posters who I really adored and enjoyed reading. However I do think personally that gaffers in some ways were better 2017 than in 2007. I remember how hostile things were when you suggested new things or thought different to everyone else. Used to be ridiculed for anything. Sure ridicule still happened but people were more open if you ignore the politics.
Wow. Just came back from skimming through the mental health thread. gaf has turned into a hideous monster.

I think I will stick to being here as I like communities being small. It was in some ways a bit hard and bloated to navigate and have a discussions on Gaf. Most of the time it was the same people responding to another.
By Kimosabae Go To PostThis is exactly the type of shit I'm talking about right here. It's these types of otherizing leaps that became pandemic on the forum. It's lazy thinking that haphazardly categorizes people and slams the door shut on charitable discussion.I discussed my reasons for feeling this way in the post, and I openly admitted I could have had an atypical experience. If you want to present an alternative case, go right ahead, but this post isn't convincing.

By Killjoy2022 Go To PostNever signed up for gaf, but watching it die like this, man, I at least thought Evilore would have the sense to just step down. It must be clear to him that it isn't gonna get better.
He can't step down, this is the only thing he has ever done career wise, there's nothing else for him apart from sell it, but it's probably worth half a Cheeseburger and Coke right now.
By Finale Fireworker Go To PostI'm sure I'm really late to this party, but since I'm just stopping in, what did you all think of Tyler's leaked rant to the mods staff about how his accuser is a psychopath cultist?Tbh I had stopped reading his statement after the second (she’s bi). But I swear every new sentance in the leaked explanation to the mods was a new level of shit.
Talk about "getting mad online."
By demonarm Go To PostWow. Just came back from skimming through the mental health thread. gaf has turned into a hideous monster.
Details?
By LFMartins86 Go To PostClick on your avatar.Shit.
Hey kids, is it feasible to turn the Who quoted me feature into a notification? It'd be great.
There was most certainly some issues with how gaf discussed some topics on the site. A small group of users often dominated the conversation and set the tone by being extremely agressive. Driving off the bigots, the homophobes, the gators, and so on was a great thing. Pieces of garbage like that shouldn't have their hate validated and the site was infinitely better without them. But once we drove those people off gaf, people addicted to that feeling of being righteous were wandering the site hungry to find more people to make examples of. I saw people called our for things that they didn't really say and crazy assumptions made constantly. Some people didn't know when to pull back and say "this is a healthy place now, we have set a good tone, let's engage with each other in good faith rather than assuming the worst and looking at every comment sideways."
Site went to shit in 2014 anyways when they drove off blackace.

By ned_ballad Go To PostI love that Net Neutrality thread. It's framed in a way of how it will effect gaming and the forum seems totally confused as to how to process a political thread about gaming. Is it allowed because it's game discussion? Is it banned because it's politics? Who knows? But the entire thread has been arguing over locking it because it's "political trash" or keeping it open because it's technically about gaming.
It's impossible to completely separate politics from discussion.
"The personal is political" is an old feminist adage that no one remembers.

Well shit.
If that's the new direction of GAF then...
By hasanahmad Go To PostSee your kind of thinking , don’t want politics in games or doesn’t care for them ? You must be a gator , that’s the kind of thinking I’m talking about even if the the person isn’t not a gatorIf it talks like a duck and if it ...
This is literally one of their talking points.
Explain to me, how it affected your ability to talk video games, for which there were TWO forums (Gaming and gaming community), that people in OT were trying to be pro-equality. I want to hear this.
And how does this affect your ability to continue talking about video games in the appropriate forums, which STILL exist?
By hasanahmad Go To PostAgain, centrist things like we should start bringing in Indelrndents Who were right leaning in elections ? Right ? He must be a bigot And a trump deplorable even if he was the opposite of that. Talk about your uncle who’s a police officer who does good and tries to Be different than those we hear about in those ? No you can’t talk about police every single police man is bad . Utter toxicity rather than toning it downIt is called "Empathy for those who need it".
How the heck do you think a person of color, who must be scared about being shot to death just because they step out of a car, would be receptive about you going "But not all conservatives/policemen/etc"? i mean, how "both sides" can you be?
This is not both sides, you know?
Only one side needs to worry about being shot for the color of their skin.
Also, OT had plenty of threads about policemen who do the right thing.
Like the one about the guy who took pictures of kids with him, and fostered a more tightly knit community.
It's not really the OT's fault, that there are suddenly black people being shot by police all over the US.
By hasanahmad Go To PostGroup think was not decency it was hive mind thinking. Either you were right in line with it or you were not. You were ostracized for being a fiscal conservative or a moderate. Bernie ? All Bernie fans are bad automatically. Hillary’s Vp, we don’t like him he is too bad because he is too moderate. Toxicity after toxicity after toxicity . Sometimes felt like I was in opposite Polar extreme land of trump supporters. No we can’t talk people out of hate we need to hate them out it. Toxic toxic toxicOh, that is now a lie.
Being a fiscal conservative wasn't a bad thing on NeoGaf.
Being a fiscal conservative who complained that the poor got too much money, and used it to buy shrimps instead of bread, THAT was a bad thing.
Ok, seriously now, both sides, again?
One is as bad as the other?
"They were just like Trump supporters, just the other side"?
I call BULL on that.
Hillary/Bernie supporters weren't for segregating colored folks away from the rich ones. They weren't for taking healthcare away from the poor. They weren't anti-feminist. They weren't anti-lgbtq.
GTFO with this "both sides" shit. That was not true 2 weeks ago, and its not true now.
It is good that people are passionate about not letting Trump (supporters) bs slide.
Comments like this by you is why "moderates" got growled at in the threads.
I can't figure out how to find the gaf users/thread/section on Discord I'm using the regular/full website.

I can certainly see a fair bit of truth in this post.
I used to bitch at posters who would imply Gaf was some kind of single entity hivemind. Now it seems like I might have been wrong.
That mental health thread is the saddest shit ever. I feel like I have to apologize and I'm not even in there posting dumb shit.
After seeing so of those who migrated over I'm thinking those looking for a more common and more left thought process may be better suited for Waypoint. This place is centrist -left in my experience.

You sure as hell got that right, I wonder if it even bothered him to watch it erupt like this.
By Phoenix RISING Go To Post"The personal is political" is an old feminist adage that no one remembers.This is fairly widely-believed, no?

A worldview where people are placed on the two-dimensional axis of "left, center, right" rather than seeing them in three dimensions is doom.
I have to admit GAF imploding overnight got me shook still. I can't believe there are so few alternatives for progressively minded people who love gaming. Admittedly, I had lost completely touch with how gaming forums changed in the past years because there was no point ever leaving GAF for these things.

I love all the posts there that say: NOW all the left leaning mods are gone can say what I really think. <<shitvomit>>
That mental health thread is disgusting but sadly not shocking for gaf, there were to many times that mental health sufferers were used as shields and not seen as people.

you'd be surprised by how many people think "political" means "related to politicians" and just that.

If anyone knows people from the Mental Health thread, you could direct them to here.
As someone who has suffered with depression for more than 15 years, I know how online communities can help and how you can feel lost without that safety net.
