I'm not happy that gaf is probably dead, but it's been a long time coming. After (rightfully) driving most of the bigoted pricks off the site, people got addicted to that feeling of calling people out and having the moral high ground. So much so they started turning on each other when they ran out of legitimate fuckboys to condemn and made a lot of discussion threads ugly as hell. Evilore not just owning up to his shit also doesn't surprise me but is stupid as hell. I'm not mad he did something shitty cause I damn sure have in my past as well, I'm mad at his response after, the way he treated that girl and didn't seem to learn anything from it. But what ever, I've meant to move here years ago, I just couldn't quit the convenience of familiarity.
By Violet_0 Go To Postcan't speak about gaming, but OT was fairly anti-religion, anti-capitalism, anti-Trump, pro LGBT. Not everyone, of course, it's never everyone. Come to think of it, middle to the road liberal haven actually seems like a good way to describe it
They were socially pretty liberal in OT, I didn't catch much of an anti-capitalist sentiment though.
To be honest, I thought large swaths of GAF was consumerist hell. The amount of people enthusiastic about an impending Amazon monopoly was fucked up man.
By n8 dogg Go To PostIs being white worse than being a furrydepends, is the fursona a fox or a cat?
By CRUD Go To PostYeah you cant prove me wrong I got 500 years of evidence and proof on my side.
The fuck you got?
Pull up bitch.
Welp, this topic is going places.
By Pennywise Go To PostHe can't.
Medical reasons and all that.
/dead
By Enter The Noid Go To PostYeah probably lol, I mean I get it, it's a sensitive subject, and I have a different perspective since I work in psychology, but it bothers me that people are frankly that ignorant about what is an actual mental disorder that many people do seek help for and never harm anyone over, and that "THROW ALL THE PEDOS IN THE GULAGS" would just make them less likely to seek help and more likely to get worse and *actually* harm kids as a result.like i said, i have a pre-teen daughter and just the thought of some grown ass man touching her makes me clench my fists
Whatever, not the thread for this convo.
but you have your opinion and i respect it

By moop2000 Go To PostprioritiesExactly.
so how did the downfall start? what triggered it? a thread about the allegation getting deleted? how did everyone know it's going to end?
By Pennywise Go To PostHe can't.lmao
Medical reasons and all that.
By Diprosalic Go To Postdepends, is the fursona a fox or a cat?
a siberian tiger
a polar bear
an albino penguin
something white
something pure
something evil
By Diprosalic Go To Postso how did the downfall start? what triggered it? a thread about the allegation getting deleted? how did everyone know it's going to end?
Evilore let the mods proof read his "statement"
then all the mods left
what that tell you
It is crazy to see how quick it fell. Digital apocalypse. The last few hours were amazing. Both OT and Gaming were in shambles.
By Diprosalic Go To Postso how did the downfall start? what triggered it? a thread about the allegation getting deleted? how did everyone know it's going to end?i dont know.
Maybe some were close to the mods and knew things will get worse since Evilore refuses to do anything about it.

We went from Shoryuken GD, to GAF, to Slaent
By Diprosalic Go To Postso how did the downfall start? what triggered it? a thread about the allegation getting deleted? how did everyone know it's going to end?
Evilore alledgedly had an explanation with the most important mods and admin after all those allegation. He supposedly said it was a love triangle with the girl yada yada, he wasn't convincing at all, starting to pressure them and they decided to quit. Some of them were just afraid for their career, personal life, but most of them quit because they felt disgusted by the guy.
That's what I heard from one admin I know personally.
By LionPride Go To PostWhen it came to race issues, or anything regarding women…well………….
I thought GAF was actually fairly strong on racial topics
By Lambda Go To Postlike i said, i have a pre-teen daughter and just the thought of some grown ass man touching her makes me clench my fistsso does everyone else and that's why i want humanity to go find the route that will be the most effective to end it. we might disagree what that route is. i personally believe that the violent route is less effective.
but you have your opinion and i respect it
By Diprosalic Go To Postso how did the downfall start? what triggered it? a thread about the allegation getting deleted? how did everyone know it's going to end?Bobby Roberts killed GAF
By ViewtifulJC Go To Postsince pedos are welcomed, when is Amirox joining upCan he post from prison?
By ViewtifulJC Go To PostWe went from Shoryuken GD, to GAF, to Slaenti remember you from FGC GAF
miss that to keep up with tourneys
By Enter The Noid Go To PostI mean yeah, but that still doesn't make GAF "far left" at all.
It was a pretty fairly middle of the road liberal haven at best, actual leftists were treated with a lot of hostility there.
You could see this in how even a criticism of the left or the Democratic party was something people got very upset about. It was always with the Berniebroism or being a secret Trump mark, but never the fact the left in America is primarily centrist and has a lack of intellectual, imaginative, and straight up practical visions to handling decades-long problems it fails to name.
If GAF was "far left," I would imagine I am so left I am in about seven different dimensions at once. Wouldn't supporting UBI already put me in at least three dimensions? ;)
I'm a little bit surprised that Kim Justice is happy that NeoGAF is dying. Maybe I need to step back a bit.

I'm not Psy or anything, but the problem - to me - is, can you really "heal" someone from his natural attraction toward children ? I like blonde, tall, strong hipped female, I don't think anyone can cure me out of it.

Heh. I haven't been on SRK GD in years. How is that place these days?

Hey I remember you. You'd always be on the tennis threads. Sucks Fed lost to Delpo this past US Open.
By Watershed Go To PostI wonder if a company like IGN has any interest in owning a site like neogaf. Is a forum like neogaf, with so much daily activity around video games, is a net positive for the industry? Like, some small indie games got a lot of exposure from gaf.
They just bought Humble Bundle.
By Hypron Go To PostGamergator cunts finally got what they wanted :(
I'm confused. Is this a term if endearment or insult?
I skimmed through this thread but it's moving so fast! I made an account here back when HaloGAF was exiled. Seems like a cool alternative. Likin the vibe! Thanks for the warm welcomes.
The most important question though... is the $30 Italian Meal meme gonna make it over here!?!?

By Diprosalic Go To Postokay so the mods quit and people started to freak? crazy.
The whole forum turned into people insulting Evilore and posting threads to new forums.
The site was a fre for all with no mods to control it. So I guess it made sense to take it offline.

Psy trying to cook is one for example.
http://slaent.com/thread/478305/page/9/ scroll down until you see those poor shrimps.
By Diprosalic Go To Postso how did the downfall start? what triggered it? a thread about the allegation getting deleted? how did everyone know it's going to end?It was a slow snowball. The first strike happened when the Wenstein scandal blew up, then there started to appear more and more sexual assaults threads, and Evilore participated in one, saying it was better to "wait for evidence" and started banning people left and right for calling him out (Really good people, Box office GAF died that day).
But the big strike happened, well, yesterday, when that girl spoke out about Evilore' rape attempt. People started to ask questions especially in the milkshake duck thread. More bans happened, more locked threads.
Everything however, snowballed out of control once the first mods started to resign. After years of going against inappropriate behavior Mods weren't pleased with Evilore's actions and they stepped down all in a few hours.
The less mods, the more account suicides and shit posts started to appear. In a matter of minutes, Neogaf became worse than then darkest 4chan, well, Chan.
It all happened in a bang, it was incredible to see. I honestly take this as a lesson of how frail order is. Imagine if this happened on a global scale, now I believe 100% on post apocalyptic scenarios, once order loses power, it all goes to shit.
It's been a wild ride.
By Enter The Noid Go To PostI thought GAF was actually fairly strong on racial topicsStrong at screaming and swinging fists wildly at everyone, poor at intelligent discussion.
By Altazor12 Go To Post"love triangle", lmao.Where is the statement? I want to read it.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostWhat a cunt.Lord virgin indeed.
By TheMikado Go To PostStarting to feel more and more like Neogaf with each post. Welcome home guys.I thought the same reading through this thread. And that wasn't a positive thought.
By Auto Simeone Go To PostI eat shit food sometimes
Lol, gaf was always full of shit when it came to those food threads.
Being a member of NeoGAF for a decade has made me a generally more educated, open-minded, and socially progressive and active person. It's a real loss that I'm going to feel in the near future. There were some truly amazing members and threads that contained loads of useful, relevant, and interesting information about a wide variety of topics. The loss of the community around that cannot be understated.
That mouth-breathing chuds like Boogie and gamergators feel that this is some kind of "vindication" is just further proof of the destructive and hateful toxicity that NeoGAF "supposedly" stood against. Goddamnit this is so infuriating.
