I recall some dude getting mad at me for spoiling the movie Creed in a thread discussing the expectations to a sequel of Creed. Like what son?

[Raist]

I think a little bit of common sense and expecting that if you click on a thread about 10-year old movie or book or game X that you haven't read / watched / played, you're likely going to get spoiled left and right, and people won't start tagging everything.

But of course, this would demand a bit of reasoning and not behaving like a 12y old, so it's going to be tough for some people.

Can someone post the story about that anonymous woman going on to Jezebel and accusing Connor O'Brest of rape?

http://www.spin.com/2014/07/conor-obersts-name-cleared-rape-accuser-admits-she-lied/

I agree with what someone posted in that thread though and always held the stance.

Rape allegations made to the police need to be handled seriously and right away. The victim should have access to a counselor right away for support and a rape kit needs to be taken and pushed to get results as soon as possible. I know that is very difficult in some states that have huge back logs, but this is an ideal situation,

No names should ever get out, because it can be hard on the victim and the accused.

And it needs to stop being a joke for men to come forward with rape allegations.

I know some transgender people have had trouble reporting rapes because they're laughed at.

The whole system needs to be fixed.

I used to volunteer for young men that were victims of violence and part of that was male rape victims.
People's reactions to male rape victims, especially when the perpetrator was a woman, made me cynical as fuck.

Its a black off!!!

Food for thought If you're a good police officer, you aren't included by people saying fuck cops because you're not one of them. You don't take offense to people saying police execute people, and have no accountability because you dont. Like the ex police/lawyers/judges of the national bar association, who are working on solutions for this problem we have. Included in that is my pops. They all dont go crying and taking offense to people saying fuck the justice system. There are severe problems, and they are doing their part.

This whole pearl clutching at generalizing an institution which has a proven track record of its racial problems is rubbish. Generalizing a group of people is wrong because there is data to prove otherwise. Generalizing a body if the government which had records of its behavior isnt the same thing. Same with political bodies, like the GOP. Good Leo knows what's up. And they also know they can't get out of line for fear of their own safety or careers.

Which is why people say, fuck cops.

Yeah, I'm sure any sort of "Fuck X" will go down well on GAF and you can always hide behind the "well if you're not one of the bad ones you're not included anyway" excuse

Either the dude is lying or he was forced to get the tattoo while in prison. It's very cliquey in prison. You can't just run solo, you will be pressured into joining a gang. But not just any group. If you're black, you're joining the Bloods or Crips; Hispanics can join a litany of Hispanic gangs that depend on where they're from; and whites will join the Aryan Brotherhood or Aryan Circle. In Texas, there's the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas that has no affiliation with the Aryan Brotherhood. Prison gangs are weird.

I've seen inmates with all kinds of Nazi tattoos hang out with blacks and Mexicans, but I work at a jail. The clique isn't as strong in jail as it is in prison. Once they get to prison, they will be hanging out with their respective gangs almost exclusively.

This is all stuff I heard from inmates and gang intelligence.

The quote from the gaffer says so "he had to", that's exactly what I understood thanks to all my expertise on prison customs I have from TV . The weird part for me is the end of the quote : would it be any less crazy if the dude was a fan of Beethoven ?

Be serious!

I've never used the word "twit" in my life.

I absolutely used the term racist, but only upon being questioned repeatedly about what I meant when I called PC gamers insular.

The reporting here was irresponsible. I've done 6000 interviews over the last 15 years (we're required to log them), and somehow, have been able to hide my bigoted side until today . . . I'm not sure what the "reporter" was trying to do, other than stir the pot. Yes, I said that the PS4 Pro probably wouldn't appeal to PC gamers, The rest is just silly.

Genuine surprises are nice but we ain't gonna adjust society and create taboos in basic conversations to save it for a couple of fucking nerds. We collectively have more urgent things to adress. Maybe it would be less of a problem if nerds watched something else than the shit we're all fed 24/7 by the entertainment industry. Ain't gonna be a lot of threads about Sidney Lumet work on NeoGAF.

Also yeah nerds are often too obsessed with what is litterally (the fucking lore lore lore mantra) told rather than how it is told and what it means.

GAF has spoiler-free E3 threads.

The announcement of future products are spoilers. The banners in a building that shows the names of those things are spoilers. Because they want to see a company's guy on a stage say it first rather than the same information from a headline or thread title.
