Oh man my views of how like my friends that are female in the industry tell me how shit it is, I'm sure they're all lining up to tell Jaffe about their problems considering how he handles twitter and social media.

Odds on this Mattingly guy trying to play things out with the ole "I'm so sorry about everything, it was such a huge misunderstanding, I'd love to apologize in person. Over drinks  :shaq"?

Jaffe is a perfect example why people choose to ignore creepy/obsessive behavior rather than confront it. He's not even involved with this case yet he's crusading about it and telling him "harassing people isn't cool" only winds him up more. Yet saying "harassing people isn't cool" would have magically made IndieStatik guy back off and apologize.

In real life rejecting the romantic advances of people obsessing like that rarely goes well. I have little doubt that telling IndieStatik guy to stop would have hurt him and that would have manifested either through continued harassment, negative press coverage, or worse. The guy has already admitted to abusing alcohol and having serious personal issues... but sure lets reject him. He won't take that poorly at all ::)

Also, some excellent post by Shark in that thread :bow2

Someone mentioned it in the GAF thread, but the guy really should have been able to take the hint from the "shadow boxing" comment she made. Shadow boxing...it's something you do without a bag, all by yourself. Get it, Mattingly?

rofl that cheating thread.

How can anyone have worthwhile interpersonal relationships when they are so consumed with paranoia of disloyalty? Every time someone posts an anecdote of cheating there is this wail of dudes going "another story reinforcing and justifying my cynical worldview, oh heaven whatever shall I do in this ocean of conniving cunts!?"

If you want to see how little many GAFers know about frame rates, look no further.  Seriously, every NFL game on TV as well as all other live sports since like the 1950s and even earlier have been broadcast as 60 frames per second.  Yeah it's interlaced, but it's still effectively 60 FPS since the image is updated every time the lines alternate.  We have been watching live television events at 60 FPS as long as there have been live TV events.  It's great that the NFL app on the XBOne will match that frame rate and it's been done already too, just look at the free video clips on the 360's UFC app.

And yet when there's a thread about a dude seeing his sister-in-law naked the thread is flooded with comments like "give her the D before your wife comes home". Funny how that works.

Fully expected to wake up banned after indirectly telling Jaffe to shut the fuck up and generally being incredibly aggressive with him. What a fuckass.

What is wrong with the way that thread was self moderating itself... Yknow with discussion?

Think what you will of Jaffe and his comments I think the whole thread has reached stratospheric levels of dumb, and bannings like that don't really help. His hypothetical was an invitation to a ban, but only because gaf is an overly sensitive echo chamber shithole prone to bouts of hysteria. I can't say I'm surprised. Defamatory shit flinging and disingenuous reading comprehension is rife even among mods.

I see what you're saying about his emphasis on what the girl could have done devo, but I think that conversation can be had rather than kiboshed with ban hammers.

Josh Mattingly behaved in a socially distinguished mentally-challenged manner and he deserves everything he gets. Banning an industry figure for daring to question the social dynamics of the conversation and how it might have turned out less ugly is stupid. There's no excuse for what the guy said, but I find the coddling protectorate portraying her as some violated little bambi sexist in itself. She's a grown woman. She shouldn't have to put up with assholish advances and she's entitled to make them public and see people punished, but if in the public conversation she appears to offer no deterrent and I'm fact continues to be friendly, you are always going to have someone play devils advocate and question that. A lack of "please stop" doesn't mean "proceed", I'm not saying that.. the guy should have known better, drunk or not. That thread is not a discussion, it's a lynch mob. And it's not even trying to lynch the right guy anymore. I disagree with the ban, I'm happy to be transparent about it.

It's not the only thread I think is shite either obviously.

Honestly, I'd have banned the guy for that first vulgar post he made to devo.  That was against TOS, clear as day.  He's gotten away with it so many times before, he probably figured he would this time, too.  Guess he didn't realize how far his star has fallen.

Yeah we had to wait until his forcefield dropped for us to ban him.

dafuq is this dude talking about? maybe i'm just high but i don't understand wtf he's saying.

That's also the dude who believes Dubai is more liberal than the United States because he has seen women drink at parties. And when pressed about the country's ridiculous anti-women laws (husbands are legally able to beat their women, rape victims are charged with crimes, etc) he comes up with imaginative spin.

I've watched his video on the matter, seen some admittedly questionable tweets and read his penultimate posts and all the reaction around them.. if I've missed something he said to you, it's because I'm still catching up.

What is wrong with the way that thread was self moderating itself... Yknow with discussion?

Think what you will of Jaffe and his comments I think the whole thread has reached stratospheric levels of dumb, and bannings like that don't really help. His hypothetical was an invitation to a ban, but only because gaf is an overly sensitive echo chamber shithole prone to bouts of hysteria. I can't say I'm surprised. Defamatory shit flinging and disingenuous reading comprehension is rife even among mods.

I see what you're saying about his emphasis on what the girl could have done devo, but I think that conversation can be had rather than kiboshed with ban hammers.

Honestly, I'd have banned the guy for that first vulgar post he made to devo.  That was against TOS, clear as day.  He's gotten away with it so many times before, he probably figured he would this time, too.  Guess he didn't realize how far his star has fallen.

Okay.. I might have missed that... What did he say?

I didn't even read his posts, let me whine about his ban.

I cant lmao.

rhr if you're doing the devil's advocate thing here then I'd say it's a bit past that point. The devil deserves to lose here.

If you honestly believe what you're saying, seek help.

Fuck off. I said you are always going to get someone playing devils advocate in this scenario and questioning how things could have played out differently - which is what Jaffe did, not me. My issue is the fact that a lot of people on GAF (and here) can't handle discussion without lazily falling over themselves to placate those having the loudest emotional reaction. If he was outright offensive to devo, in the TOS violating sense, that's fair enough. My initial reading made it look like he was banned for holding his own perspective (disagreeable though it may be to some) rather than how he was actually dealing with people.

It took him 14 more pages to get a 2 week ban for something that many people would have been permed for.

Eeesh... I've just read back to that point myself... Sorry, I should have gotten all the way back to his first involvement before commenting. So tempted to victim blame devo and her choice of pic for lulz, but I'll dodge the wrath I think!

I thought this exchange was pretty funny btw

The world doesn't need people playing devil's advocate for everything bruh. There is no way to have a valid conversation when one party seriously thinks "Well she shouldn't have let him sexually harass her so much, then it wouldn't be such a big deal" is some realistic shit. Nobody should have to debate the finer points of not blaming victims for how they react to being victimized. It's stupid and asinine and deserves to be treated as stupid and asinine.

If people aren't contributing with topics germane to the conversation and are actively holding it back with their spergtastic inability to read any form of subtext, discern context, or suss out human emotion, absolutely keep that shit moving with a ban. More of that would keep GAF from having ten threads a day that are basically "Why do human beings do the things that human beings do?".

David Jaffe is as much of an "industry figure" as any of us at this point. He's about as effectual as that Space Giraffe lunatic.
