VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

Is this the explanation for bishop's vanishing?

Bish was an admin, which is above a Mod. EL specifically said admin.  Who else could it be? I don't remember any other admin stepping down recently.

[clothedmacuser]

God dammit!  It's pissing me off how Enzom keeps saying Maher told a "nicca joke" when it's clearly a "joke" with the word "nicca."  That doesn't make it better but a n-word joke that directly insults a black person for being lazy, thieving, having a big dick, etc, would be a lot worse.

People have been saying this because
1. he doesn't hesitate when he says it; he doesn't appear to be reaching for a word that's outside of his normal vocabulary

2. hearing the word "field" and then immediately jumping to slavery makes it seem like he's got slavery on the mind already

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=239061978#post239061978

What the fuck does "slavery on the mind mean?"  And lol that this is clear proof that he uses the n-word all the time because of how casually it came out.

 

[nudemacusers]

These motherfuckers got no shame

just wait until evillore posts here again if you want to see some real shameless knob slobbing.

[etiolate]

Oh, I remember that clearly. He left after I posted that he needs to explain his shitting up the forum and thus ruined the asskissing parade.

[seagrams hotsauce]

The fact that Bish didn't, and hasn't spilled the beans on that place makes me think mods are required to sign an NDA or CA before becoming mods. I wouldn't put it past Tyler, either, dude is so fucking thin skinned and petty.

Don't give Lore that much credit. There's no way he's sinking a dime over the least amount of money necessary into anything but the bare required to keep the site afloat. He doesn't really need to do that anyway - ex mods really have nothing to gain by putting themselves in the spotlight over some nerd forum bullshit. At best they become a poster child for voat and the like, at worst they become the new amirox.

This is sad to me because this kid is going through this whole ordeal and it's clear that the college isn't teaching critical thinking or any of the tools one needs to help figure this sort of stuff out. Students can only retreat into isolation or chaos.

I wonder if Evilore went to that college and that's where he learned to write.  Aside from that poster using 1,000% less commas they have a similar style.

[nudemacusers]

1. don't think lore's been to higher ed

2. evergreen has always, at least since I've been aware of it (ie since 2001) as something of a wild area in terms of academics and so on. so all of that ramping up post-trump does not surprise me. it's basically a reeeeee IRL.

I was at London bridge 30 mins before the terrorist attack. Literally shaking. Pray for me brehs.

Yes, apparently Evergreen is pretty "do what you want" academically.

[railGUN]

Wow. Thank you evilore. This is the best post I've ever seen. I'm new to this board, but in all honesty, conversation doesn't even exist here. It's all been accusations and shouting at each other.

 

Thanks EviLore, for creating this, allowing it to continue (the site has not improved at all since Bish was fired), and not fixing the issue you have clearly identified.

Hopefully you move on to identifying the massive holes in site security and advertising malware, and do nothing about them as well.

Job. Well. Done.

[VomKriege]

Hopefully, we still have GAF for a small laugh while the world keeps on being a madhouse :

How to stop terrorism like this
1. Ban the press and individuals from monetizing anything but official announcements on attacks, no hot takes no breaking pictures and videos no histrionics

So... Do you forcibly tax a newspaper from publishing non official pictures to remove monetization ? Do you calculate how much revenue is tied to those non-official sources by measuring how much space they cover on pages devoted to an incident ? Are photographies taken by pro press photographers for media outlets or news agency "official" ?

He fucked up and shouldn't have said it, but Maher is not a racist.  He's also had a number of black girlfriends, IIRC.

I know that Bill apologized, but did he do it quickly enough?

If I had said something that absolutely asinine I would have at least apologized the very moment I realized I f'ed up... which would not have been a day later.

Maybe a military coup in the US is not the best idea ?

http://m.neogaf.com/showpost.php?p=239091471

I'm kidding...

Ah ah obviously...

...if there is a coup in the US it will be a fake one, where the administration will claim a coup was in progress and had to counter-coup it.

I personally thought Mattis was chosen for that purpose, as a patsy for a fake coup, since people would more easily believe it when they would roll with it and arrest him.

It's a good bet that Bish got ghost'd because he was doing the things he did while being brazen about it rather than for what he did. Probably told Tyler something like, "Why do you care? You're never here doing anything."

I will never be able to quote this enough, thank you for putting into words what I've struggled to express. I'm always impressed by how well written your posts are

I won't quote it, but yeah, +1 to that post by Evilore.

Wow really good post. Props to you Evilore for sharing.

A great post, and I think it would be healthy for NeoGAF if you made an entire thread on the subject of where this forum has been and where it is going.

Fantastic post.

thank you sooo much for this evilore.

Good shit Evilore

Great post

I wish I could save this word-for-word in my brain.

Couldn't have said it better myself, there are a lot of members on the forum that have this "it's either us or them" mentality, and won't for the life of them open their minds to other civilized opinions, because the world is either one thing or another, and it can't be more than one thing, hopefully the situation gets better, having discussion with more than one viewpoint is important to all parties.

Amen.

Glad I checked back up on this thread, this mirrors almost exactly how I feel.

Thanks a lot for this EviLore. It's really encouraging knowing the owner of this site feels that way about these sorts of issues. Fully agree with you!

Thank you for recognizing the way OT has changed over the past couple years.

Wow. Thank you evilore.

Great post, Evilore.

Thanks for acknowledging this.

Can this be Stickied?

Evilore is the man for bringing some sanity to us all.

Can we make a thread on this post so more people in Gaf can be exposed to it?

Damn it was cathartic to read that.

The funny part about that is that she was willing to give up a high paying job at an investment bank for e-cred on NeoGAF.  A job that probably paid half a million or more per year to win the approval of losers who almost never leave mom's basement.

[Phoenix Dark]

The general lack of critical thinking and logic is also a product of people not being challenged, not engaging with opposing ideas, and people being afraid of calling any of this shit out. It doesn't take a genius to poke holes in Slayren's views on a variety of topics, for instance, but in doing so you'd open yourself up to charges of being an Uncle Tom (if you're black) or worse (if you're white).

And I say this as someone who really isn't interested in white people's views on black issues...I readily admit that. So some might consider me part of the problem.

But for instance, we're seeing a lot of people on GAF argue that having sexual preferences (specifically if you're a straight man, apparently) is bigotry or transphobia or sexism depending on what you're not into. It's a pretty laughable view, logically, but this is where we are. Or back to Slayren...the suffocating, nonstop helpless victim of despair mentality many black people hold there...as if cops are killing truck loads of black people daily and THIS is the dominant concern of the community. A lot of this shit is just outright wrong. But any pushback results in being swarmed.

this shit is sad yo. Whole lot of intellectual, emotional cowards being coddled in these e-streets.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

At the end of the day NeoGAF is a forum about video games, one of the most hedonistic pursuits in modern society.  Anyone who takes anything that gets said there seriously is deluding themselves.

[clothedmacuser]

Slayven is intellectually degenerating at an alarming pace.  It can't be healthy to have people ignore every dumb thing you say and praise you for saying anything half-way thought out.

[benjipwns]

This was not just ostracizing people attempting to challenge reductive, exclusionary "with us or against us" polarized rhetoric, either (and that should absolutely be challenged), but also anyone even trying to have a conversation within that radicalized bubble. People were driven out, character assassinated, labeled traitor for "not sounding angry enough," or for not being entirely on board with ostracizing someone else for the same reasons.

There's nothing righteous, informed, or progressive about that. It's just a sanctimonious, vitriolic, self-destructive circle jerk that drives out the kind of people most valuable to discussion: not the "retweet my Side and quote it in yells or else you're The Enemy" people, but the people engaging on each individual issue with critical thought and an open mind, willingness and capacity to perform independent investigation into the materials initially presented, come to an independent conclusion and present it, and to allow the same from folks who have made similar effort but with different credible sources or different justifiable conclusions than your own.

I'm out.

I thought we were going to be engaging in self-criticism and struggle sessions.

[railGUN]

I have a feeling that Tyler is starting to really feel the pinch, and is going into survival mode. Descending from his ivory tower to reassure the plebs that everything isn't as it seems is a desperate move on his part.

The Facebook page (that has a whopping 1 post), the Like and Tweet buttons (that are about 5 years too late), the SSL (that lasted 1 day and failed miserably), the site "upgrades" (that amounted to upgrading the size and invasiveness of the ads and nothing more), firing his head admin (without any kind of explanation), promising legit GAF Gold (for 2+ years and counting(?)), the ad reporting (that doesn't work, and the company he hired went out of business), the mobile site (which is as piss-poor of a stop-gap solution you can find, 5 years and running), the mobile ads themselves (giving users malware, redirects, NSFW ads and freezing phones into vibrating shit), promising a new site and being months and months late, without so much as a hint to its progress, AND the forum devolving to an objective echo chamber full of the most insufferable cunts this side of the Mississippi has to be indicators of something, and I highly doubt it's something good. And with Chrome native ad-blocking on the horizon, it's time to start sweating, or time to hold a summit consisting of the top tech giants of the industry, like Tim and Elon.

Maybe he invested wisely and the site can coast on fumes forever. Maybe he still makes crazy money and all of the above is simply an aside to the shitshow that is NeoGAF. Hell, maybe this circus makes more money than the "old" GAF.

I personally think the hill he's willing to die on is growing faster than he can dig and the new GAF site will make or break GAF entirely, which is why he's dragging his ass so badly on doing anything positive about any of this.

 

[benjipwns]

Could she have leaked it without revealing her identity or making it obvious? It always makes me laugh when a leaker is in it for some type of e-fame on a message board.

NPD was putting "margins of error" into their reports so they could track back the sources from people who knew nothing about statistics but were part of the firm who subscribed to their data. (IIRC, she worked for JPMorgan Chase.)

So you and I work for different subscribers, for you it might say:
Call of Duty: 15,358,967
and for me:
Call of Duty: 15,358,982

For the purposes of most analysis that would rely on NPD data the last three digits are absolutely worthless, it's statistical noise, but if someone doesn't truncate that and post "15.36 million" then you can pick out where the original source is because they and only they had 982 or 967 as the last three digits.

That's how they caught her, but never would have caught that other guy who always posts his as ranges truncated at the thousands. (eg. "Splatoon sold 32-35K")

Another important event not mentioned so far is the 1994 Republican Revolution. It was the first time the Republicans had had a majority in the House since the 50s, and represented the final stage of the southern strategy as conservative democrats ceased to be a meaningful force and the bipartisan conservative coalition finally fell apart. It was what cemented the GOP as the completely conservative party.

That said, they still continued being capable of governing, working with Clinton throughout the 90s.

Someone thought the moderation took a hard RIGHT recently? 

Pretty common sentiment, especially when bish being unmodded is mentioned. "That explains all the alt-right troll garbage lately." etc

[benjipwns]

a couple examples i dug up from searching for one of my quote vomit sessions:

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=228453840&postcount=725

I believe it is more liberal than most places but it not this very liberal place many claim it to be.

This place has serious issues when we actually talk specifics about social issues especially around racial minorities, women and trans folk, it just has less serious issues than virtually anywhere else.

The deconstruction of the meaning of "liberalism" in this thread is beyond fascinating.

Also, it's all but proven this guy exists in some world where words have different meanings.

I should clarify that I am speaking purely about social liberals and moderate...

You can totally be a self define liberal because of economics and be crazy racist.

It's why I always get made when people respond to racist liberals by calling them not liberals.

Yeah, that's the whole thing about self-labeling you doofus.

GAF is liberal unless the topic has to do with race, gender, or sexuality.
We get GAF's real leanings in those threads. The only thing keeping that in check is moderation... although there has been a slight shift lately.

Zoe Salanda has a history of putting your foot in her mouth. She doesn't believe that there's such thing as a person of color but she was willing to put on some blackface in order to make that Nina Simone movie. At the end of the day she's probably as ignorant As Trump.

good enough

The loss of bish will hurt though to that end...
