one of the children who run PAX started defending their rape merchandise again. Never mind the rabble proved earlier today they couldn't have a conversation about that Robin Thicke video (after all, it had the word "feminist" in the title!) - but hey! maybe this thread will be different!

Squiddy's one of those posters who blur the line between joke character and legit distinguished mentally-challenged fellow. It's hard to tell, but at this point I'd put my money on distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.

gamefaqs is actually far more mature than gaf in many respects. Not all of them, but many. The boards dedicated for specific games are full of dedicated gamers who just want to help each other out.

Yes but I've seen people actually bring that forum up when talking about how awesome GAF is in the same manner.

Almost all of the people in this scene are gang members - actual gang members.

Buying The Warriors supports gang violence. Someone make a PSA.

GTA: San Andreas had the same controversy with letting your character get tattoos that were meant to look like real-life gang tattoos, that was in 2004. Apparently gang message boards were all excited about it and I think Time magazine had an article talking about how this Scottish game studio was recruiting gang tattoo artists from LA to give their input and wondered if this was crossing into real life too much.

Even if the story does glorify gang life a little, at least this is giving an honest job to people who just got out of prison. I know at least a couple actors on The Wire like Spook and that reverend dude were actually involved in drug crime before they got on that show but I don't think having gangsters play gangsters is really necessary as characters like Bubbles and Omar were played by regular method-actors.

I don't really care that much for any of this shit, I just felt like pointing it out.

This is true. GAF shows the same kind of improvement in signal-to-noise ratio in threads on specialized topics and in a lot of community threads. The bigger and more general-interest the forum or thread, the more shit and shitposters there are to wade through. Just look at /b/ vs. /m/

Himu · « **Reply #13471 on:** September 03, 2013, 06:08:20 PM »

Specialized threads are the best threads on the forum by a long shot, making the community forums the best forums.

And since the community forums have an almost niche status, that keeps the shit posters out.

Snoop was a gang banger as well. I'm pretty sure some of the kids in s4 actually slung drugs before.

you guys shouldnt get so wrapped up on the gtaV stuff. its san andreas 2.0. noone gives a shit when theres mafia involvement in media, but street gangs? thats when i stop caring about certain opinions.
