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.

Basically, cliquish nepotism. People giving press to their friends, lovers and roommates without disclosure. It's not the end of the world, but it's not worth calling people having issue with it a bunch of sexist monsters.

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.

It's based on the screeching sound certain frogs produce. 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.

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/TkpY3
So 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.

I'd say it's on like Donkey Kong now.

Full post Tyler just nuked  :lol

Quote
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-

Quote
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.

Still, I cannot fathom how the hell Besada outilived Bish when is well known as the worst moderator by far. Evilore´s bravado is all talk when it seem he cannot be bother to do the minimum necessary to avoid making his forum a place where he gets shit on because he went to a comedy show.

Besada seems like the person who would do whatever it takes to keep his modship, so he'd go out of his way to not overstep 'Lore. 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.

That false bravado (and a thin skin) is probably the thing he has in common with Evilore. Also, he could not have bother in saying to Titanoboa "don't share this shit here" than ignore it? That edgelord defense seem to be the most hypocritical shot he has said, and that is a accomplishment.

What a weak ass reason to ban someone.  ::)

Someone admits to medical malpractice for petty reasons and you get angry not at them for admitting doing it but at the other person for daring to point out how screwed up that is on Twitter. What messed up priorities you must have to think Riposte deserves a ban.

It's because a uberwoke person accused GAF of not being woke enough and mentioned Beseda's transphobic past.  That uberwoke was banned, of course, and Beseda had to show he is now top dog on GAF now that Evil and Bish have checked out and Stump and Duckroll can't be bothered anymore.

It's a beautiful power vacuum playing out before us.  Who will become the voice of GAF?

A look at how some subreddits overlap:
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/dissecting-trumps-most-rabid-online-following/

Fits best in here, I think.

This was an ignorant article and the writer is getting currently lectured in some of those subreddits as we speak. I give him props for stepping into the threads and admitting he wrote the article. I'll give him more props if he listens to the people and realizes his mistakes.

What he did was take a presumption, then create a formula, and he changed the variables of that formula until he got the results that best let him write his presumption. The overlap between t_d and /r/Conservative isn't clickbait enough, so keep switching around what you subtract from or add to the maingroup until you get a spicy headline. On top of that, he erroneously labeled some subreddits as hate reddits out of his own ignorance.

To go a bit further:

The fact that commenting in a subreddit doesn't mean you support that subreddit doesn't seem to even be taken into question. Consider the overlap between t_d and r/games resulting in TotalBiscuit's subreddit. TB is about as anti-Trump as you can get, and he has gone on rants about Trump, which has resulted in some of his fans getting angry at being labeled racists by him. This then lead to a further discussion between himself and his users on why they vote the way they do. There is discussion between Trump people and TB people without agreement. The overlap is a result of a disagreement rather than agreement, and the conversations that followed. However, if you read this shite article then you'd think TB was a Trumpee.

Data doesn't lie about the data it produces, but the people doing the data lie about what the production means. Analytics are not a substitute for poor observational analysis, and those that lack in that mental specialization who overcompensate for it with heaps of data are doing harm.

Also, my general rule is no to take seriously any article about the internet that doesn't first invoke and understand the mechanics of or the post-irony nature of the net. This nonsense from 538 is exactly why I have the rule. The overlap between donald and 4chan speaks to something entirely different but very relative to any racist overlap. If you don't bother to understand or explain this then you're being dishonest. You're lying via omission and prove t_d right in calling your site fake news.

Speaking of that formula: He's apparently put it on a website and the code is on Github or something:

https://trevor.shinyapps.io/subalgebra/

Provided it's not "hug of deathed" when you go to it; have fun looking to see how correct he is or not, bois.

Quote from: besada
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.

Riposte
Banned

 :lol

And Mr. Malpractice? Is he banned?

spoiler (click to show/hide)
You had to look?  :lol Of fucking course he's not banned.
[close]

Further than that, Link to the Past tried to start the dogpile well before riposte. Did *he* get banned?

lol no

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.
He had a voice that young white males needed to hear.

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.

There are threads where he searched based on people's suggestions:

If you paste the link of the original story into the search box of Reddit, you might find even more.

highschool kid tries to say Dave Chappele is a better comedian than that. I guess he really liked his stand up comedy as a fetus or something.

Also mentioning empirical evidence of "funny" is always ironically funny.

I can totally see why the_Donald having a ton of pull on places like KIA. The Jontron fallout seem to be another case that a lot of KIA's filibuster about not being political driven being total BS.
