But you are kind of a dick if you immediately shut down people who think differently than you.
reeeeeee is to be read like a pig squeal, right?or am i doing it wrong
Looked at some Reddit discussion of the Nate Silver thing. In one of the threads (redemption stories, aw) someone linked to Gamergate's book of grudges. Behold, the journalistas crimes:http://deepfreeze.it/journo.php
Lmao that Evilore actually feels the need to defend himself for laughing at a comedy show. Getting called a virgin shook him to the core, because just the idea that he's actually engaging in this discussion makes him defend himself, which implies he did something that needed defending. And now he has to argue with the members of his own forum because he's fostered this type of narrative and culture that is now being used against him. Live long enough to stare into the abyss while on fire. Or something like that.

You know you're dealing with the most triggered of triggered Gaffers when they're replying every second or third post, consistently, in a 20-page thread.
All right, Galadriel. Despite you being possibly the most thin-skinned person here, as evidenced by that last little bit telling that user to go fuck themselves, I'll engage you. It's not pathetic or absurd to want to hold someone who founded a site you enjoy browsing to a higher standard. It wasn't even a direct attack on you. It certainly wasn't indirectly calling you a virgin, which as we all know is the most insulting thing you can be called and most be dealt with in the harshest of ways. So far, I haven't see a single person who is criticizing these jokes be legitimately unwilling to have a real discussion or shut down one. You aren't being condemned, Tyler the Creator. You just can't take a joke. But hey, support of outright transphobia is cool around here, right? Even the mods get in on the fun! http://m.imgur.com/a/TkpY3So yeah, let's be real: there are plenty of people on GAF who kinda hate this place but use it because there isn't a good alternative, and there are loads of people not on GAF who fucking abhore it. But here's the rub- you could have a great thing here, Tyler. A well-moderated forum that isn't filled with insane people who can't take criticism could be fantastic. NeoGAF ain't that. Maybe it was at one point, but the GAF of right now is a fauxgressive safe space.NeoGAF is a fucking internet forum. I'm not gonna waste anymore of my time trying to make people understand why those jokes could be seen as transphobic. It's really not worth it.
Oh no, not Evilore. Did his feelings get hurt? The only people here who are "bitching" are the ones who CONTINUOUSLY argue with us for just saying that we took offense with the jokes. And like a lot of us are saying- that's it. We aren't trying to take away your right to laugh at dumb transphobe jokes, numbskull. Because unlike some people who want this thread to be for taking turns jerking Dave Chappelle off, we want to have a discussion. And as for shit like this-
we shouldn't have to out ourselves in order to talk about why this is offensive. You wouldn't see this same shit in a discussion about a white comedian making racially insensitive black jokes. Which, I mean, is hardly surprising. We all know what GAF really cares about when it comes to social issues, and it sure as shit isn't queer people.

They'll always nuke any mention of the besada exchange because they can't explain it. It's just fingers in ears "LALALALA" with that.
Yep, must pass all three branches of gov't. House, Senate, and then Executive(Trump himself). Senate is the most difficult and many expected a major fight in the House as it is unfolding. Trump obviously doesn't read, but will sign what is put in front of him. Especially if it gives the finger to Obama.

Mhmm. I was somehow always worse at doing blood draws whenever patients said shit like that to me during the primaries. Always took a few tries for some reason 🤷
Huh? I'm not very good at blood draws, some times it takes a few tries. I always have to try from the area between the knuckles on your hand because that's easiest for me.
Basically the TV is always on, and most people tend to watch the news. I had a few people tell me that the punishment for treason in this country is to be hung by the neck until dead.

This is unlike Bish whose arrogance and ego only grown over the years due to the cult of personality he built with the user base. I would not be all that surprised if his ego caused him to bump heads with 'Lore, which ultimately caused his demodding.

I also once thought it was some abbreviation of distinguished mentally-challenged fellow, though apparently not. Someone linked to a clip of that Shia He Will Not Divide Us live stream where a 4channer was making the sound while a protestor was chanting only for the person to flip out and begin swearing and hurling insults, amusingly. Probably the only time I've heard a person say it on video.

Hooray for archivals!
Come on, what Titanoboa did isn't right - but its hardly torture, its some discomfort and far less damaging than people expressing those opinions in the grand scheme of things.
They do. But gamers don't. If you think about the history of our hobby, it makes a bit more sense. That's why Gaf is an oasis! I mean it's at all levels. Not just rank and file.

I think people mostly ignored it because it was off-topic and had nothing to do with the discussion, not to mention it's difficult to tell who's being an edgelord and who isn't.That said, I couldn't help but notice that trying to stir up shit about the issue on Twitter wasn't enough for you, but you thought you'd come to stir some up in the thread itself. That was probably not your best idea.

Why would you have a problem with police shooting a dude who just ran over 40 people and stabbed a few more to death? It's not like police attacking at a protest or something.
Every time I think GAF has finally bottomed out, somebody pulls out a bomb and blows a hole in the floor again. The last 36 hours has been just glorious. Sure THIS will finally make Lore sit up and take notice, right? Right.
