I don't know what this Taco Bell thing you're talking about is.

(Image removed from quote.)

too far, not funny

this isn't the place to joke about that kind of thing, maybe you're used to GAF where it's all loosey goosey and say whatever you want, but here if you're on the wrong side of history, the facts get brought hard and you get called out on your shitposting in our right and proper discussion

there's a reason we won the 2016 headwalk award for least garbage political thread

and it's not because the bore allows this kind of hateful trash to last long on its pages

I've watched DM like 10 times. Never heard of this "Taco Bell" thing. Stop lying, shitlord.

Off the top of my head

Pachter

Not personalities, but a whole bunch of actual insiders, especially for NPD stuff.

The only one I can think off (apart from people from small indie studios) who's still posting now and then is jstevenson from Insomniac.

I swear, they want to turn the world into Cocteau's vision for the future (the Demolition Man dude, not the french writer). How did we get to this point?

Mostly they just want to impress like-minded people. As (insular) communities tend to do. The sky is not falling, don't worry. Just increment the bogeyman tally and move on.

If you want to blame something for thinking it's all going to hell, blame the internet. It not only produces a great variety of skewed perspectives (because it's a cherry picking utopia full of filter bubbles) but it's also the best mechanism to expose you to them. Constant and virtually endless. Not to mention all the exaggerated or made up nonsense which often circulates for much longer within groups (because the bogeyman is out there, don't you see!?).

Think of the "Florida man" phenomenon. Are Floridians just that crazy, or do Florida's freedom of information laws just expose more stories ripe for the picking?

As a Floridian, yes Floridians are that crazy

They might be, but crazier relative to other states? And how would you know?

I don't think Pachter was run off. He just doesn't post much. Not that long ago he posted a thread and everyone was perfectly civil.

I think the Pachter meme/joke on GAF is pretty funny and he probably does too.

NeoGAF is a nexus of hardcore gamers, enthusiast press, and video game industry developers and publishers. This is a neutral ground where facts and evidence platform fanboyism, presented within the confines of civil, inclusive discourse screeching manbabies, prevail through careful moderation whatever biases the mods hold.

Yeah some people have suggested adblock in the pinned thread too, one going as far that maybe all users adblocking would speed up GAF adressing it effectively  At this point it's clear Evilore won't or can't fix the issue.

I wonder if some of these people's phones are actually hijacked with malware and serving alternative ads? It does happen.

GAF's an authoritarian circle jerk.  Bannings are celebrated.  It creeps into all things there.  When reminders that real life is different occur those things are cast as being bannable, too.  If I don't like a thing it must be made illegal so I can dance and post Bish gifs and feel good about myself.  GAF logic at its core.

There's really no reason to post that on GAF unless you knew what you were doing. He didn't want an actual dialogue, he wanted to stir up shit about racism, classism, sexism, etc. What possible dialogue would there be to have? "Oh that's neat!" Uh-huh.

Jews are basically White + in America. I'm not surprised at all that Gafers would think they're an oppressed minority like Blacks or Latinos. Likely because they've never met a Jew in their life and think we're all Orthodox rabbis or shit.

Also not at all surprised at the WWII picture thread going the way it did, but I was a little surprised at how insistent most of those people are making sure that woman is defined as a victim first and foremost, even though the woman did not think of herself that way.
