VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

[benjipwns]

I agree Miles. Until this thread I just thought friend zone was basically just a way of describing unrequited love, but now apparently its an MRA "I deserve this because I'm nice" thing. So now either we have to find a new term for the entitlement nice guy stuff, or we have to find a new term for being in love with someone who sees you as a friend. It's all so confusing.

I always thought "friend zone" was a joke self-deprecating type of term, shows what I know

[VomKriege]

GAF how do I internet ?

"Friend Zone" is 95% of the time more revealing of the dude's projections than of the mindset of the women.

Hey EvilLore, sup. We've had our disagreements but I just want to say that what you did for Amir0x's mom was awesome. Just when I think GAF is hopeless, something like that happens.

Yeah, the overall gaf response was touching.  It's kind of strange though, Ami said he was going to post a thank you video but never did.  And never followed up with any updates at all as soon as the cash flow stopped.  Would have been appropriate to do something like that so that all the people who put money in could see where it was going and hear about how his mom was doing with the at-home treatments and everything, but I'm sure he's dealing with a lot right now, so whatever. 

Also I didn't realize he was on his infamous EuroTrip when he stopped by the Bore.

finally some real advice for real men who don't like games for babies like splatoon

You can escape friendzones, I've done it. However there needs to have been some sexual contact, and something to reignite that connection.

It won't just happen that one day you'll be sat there holding hands telling each other I love you and out of nowhere start fucking.

You're going to have to start dropping major hints about sex, walk around with a hardon I dunno - but you have to show this woman you are a sexually attractive person and not just someone to hold hands with.

If you get the sex DO NOT mention relationships. You'll scare her away. Just fuck and then go back to hand holding until you fuck again.

Dear Penthouse, here's the totally real authentic followup of my story...

[FStop7]

That interracial dating thread.  Why am I unsurprised that when push comes to shove a large chunk of the loudest douchebags on GAF are segregationists?

We could go harder at each other right now in this thread, without much effort; I have millions of words under my belt trolling idiots on the internet and people form communities around their mutual salt for me

Says the elf eared piece of dogshit who aids and abets pedophiles.

[zepblackstar]

So Neogaf users are against interracial dating..

how daily stormer of them.

[Rahxephon91]

Interracial dating makes me pretty happy.

Yes I'm sure there's fetishistizing and other terrible stereotypes at play in some situations, but I always like seeing mixed couples myself. I don't makes me feel more optimistic about the world.

Also as a mixed person well I liked being in mixed situations.

Worst opinions on the internet.

Welcome to the Hive Mind

NeoGAF
Gaf's bubble.

Legitimately not safe for kids

NeoGAF: where everyone is an expert while not having a lick of an idea how anything works

Yes, please god, get rid of all the pretentiousness. This just makes it easy for us to be made fun of. Because it sounds like we're up our own ass.

Both the slogan and description should be something self deprecating.

And everyone who's seen more than a few gaming threads today should lol at both "facts and evidence" and "civil". That doesn't even accurately describe us. Check out a Final Fantasy thread, SOTN is overrated, Best/Worst Female designs, or a thread where challenge of a game is talked about for examples that I've just run into this morning.

NeoGAF

NeoGAF is a nexus of abrasive cunts (this is a normal non sexist word in Europe you have not right to judge as a member of American culture trust me I'm an expert) that scared away all the enthusiast press, video game industry developers and publishers except for Pachter who after all is even more right more often than the average GAFfer. This is a toxic waste ground where facts and evidence go out the window, but are written just passive aggressively enough to superficially resemble civil, inclusive discourse, until a random mod is done picking his nose and indiscriminantly bans everyone.

A bit long innit

Every one of them banned and from what I've seen on Discord, perma'd. Evilore pls.

It's over, period. Evilore lost their last ace, and that's the end of their GAF hopes and dreams.

It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for GAF. Evilore has nothing left, nothing they can reveal tomorrow would fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for any one, hardcore or casual, to substantively invest in GAF. Except if they want to talk to NoblesseOblige. Which will also be jailed at some point.

The age of Evilore is done.

[counterhit]

I wonder if Sony will stop with the GAF pandering at this point, which may just be wishful thinking on my part, because it got pretty patronizing at times.

It would be pretttttty ironic if, after threads worried about Shu following Alex Jones or tweeting to notch or palmer luckey (forget which), Sony has to back away from the increasingly toxic brand of NeoGAF.

[VomKriege]

What if the "admin secretly banning *hundreds* of members totally outside of any justifiable grounds (not that any attempt at justification was made to begin with, being undisclosed and undocumented bans) in some 85-90% of each of those bans." was not bish but Evilore himself.

There's a difference between the spirit of the thread, which was to take the piss out of the site, and what it's been for the last page: a bunch of people spending 16 hours a day sitting on an internet website they hate with every fiber of their beings. If you want to delete your account, PM a moderator. We're not holding you hostage. The people here are supposedly adults. Imagine trying to explain to your parents or your wife that the thing that gives you meaning in life is spending your entire day getting mad at a video game forum. You are adults, learn to use the potty instead of shitting yourselves. It's embarrassing.

No doubt some heavy hitters in here but some of them are confusingly obtuse. Can't figure out how some of them fit into the investigation.

It's not a lotto game and you're not winning anything by guessing why people were hired in a secretive, sensitive investigation.

In this case I don't think so. That GAF account was definitely banned earlier and is now unbanned just like the twitter handle claimed.

One of the other mods is either lowkey cleaning up lore's mess or convinced him to roll back the petty permabans he laid out.

TBF, NeoGAF has been on an irreversible decline since E3 2013.  Its reputation precedes itself and nobody takes it seriously.  Amir0x getting busted is only going to hasten the decline.  EviLore has no real clue how to fix it because the only solution he ever seems to come up with is banning people.

Cuz I haven't. Ever. Gaffers usually defend Gaf to the end. But that thread is just straight shitting on Gaf.

If another scandal happens, Gaf won't recover. Hell, it's arguable it's already at that point.

Yeah I could see the Trump Administration and their Russian Gamergate conspirators setting up forums for the sole purpose of undermining GAF with Fake News and hacked elections.

It's basically the only explanation that makes any sense for the sudden anti-GAF and pro-Trump/Gamergate swarms of posters. That plus the mod who covers up for them by preventing the receipts from getting pulled out.

Popping in while still on Gaycation: GAF's been done for a while. Amir0x being a pedo is just the breaking point.

Anyone taking the board seriously with how Evilore childishly did shit over the past...what... decade? needs a good head-check. The only reason the industry should've paid attention is due to eyeball numbers. Since reddit has taken that traffic, 'Lore is done. He can't go the 4chan route, that's already taken and given Hiroshimoot is doing the same shit (putting ads into boards, logging user traffic) I worry the age of 4chan may be over as well.

[Shuri]

The era is forums is kinda over.

The new generation of gamers prefers direct contact with industry people or famous personalities by using Twitch, youtube or twitter. Even youtube seems to be on its way out, with all those adverts problems.

Forums feel slow now. Neogaf is always behind now because all the insiders have left. Posters are now  simply reposting stuff breaking on twitter. So why would you care? Just get your info straight from the source.

Also it's not worth investing time on NeoGaf anymore  because  1) it's increasingly irrelevant for news, gaming discussions and especially for actual gaming discussion. All the talented or knowledgeable folk has left, or got banned over time.

For a community that prides itself on mature, open minded discussions for intelligent posters , well it certainly seem to attract a lot of people who turned out or were classified as being undesirable with the non-stop banning.

How is it normal that archived threads are full of grayed banned posters? I have never seen a forum with such a bodycount. How is that normal? I could understand all the juniors getting permed for shit posting or being low quality posters, but how do you explain so many banned long-time members?

We're talking about users with accounts dating back 5,10,15 years. How is it possible? Are we suposed to believe that all of those users went suddenly  rogue? Or maybe something happened in the moderation policies?

Is it worth investing time in a forum where you can get suddenly banned? No, it is not.

That's why people moved to twitter and twitch.

Oldschool gaffers could name tons of posters who knew their shit who got chased out or banned after years of contributing quality content.

Such a bodycount is not normal. There is a problem with moderation and also the general vibe of the forum

[thisismyusername]

Eh, as much as I love Twitter: It's a cesspool if you "wrong think"/bad opinion something. I can't imagine the public (private? Lord help them if they don't have another secret account) facing gaming personalities @replies and private messages on twitter after celebs (Ed Sheeran being the latest) get off twitter.

The real-time nature helps, but doesn't foster discussions.

Twitch isn't used for Live discussions (most of the time) but for live playthroughs, watching things like Rocket League.

Exactly, just like The Experiment was pointing out what's going on over at Something Awful where Lowtax has lost control over his own moderation and the forum has turned into a shit hole as well. Lowtax has a Patreon where he makes $285 a month and produces basically nothing for the 49 morons who pity pay him each month. He had a poll up the other day where he finally got approved for a Merchandising license to produce T-shirts with logos on them but no one gives a shit anymore about Something Awful. It's just a place where people can place the blame for "goons" ruining MMOs.

The same will happen to Evilore with NeoGAF. It started with moderation being outed as pedophiles at Something Awful as well, ironically enough. Then other moderators and users started jumping ship and just shit-posting because why bother when the people banning everyone were masturbating to children under 10. Now Lowtax is flipping out on Twitter and the forums at Notch because Minecraft got its big start at Something Awful but Lowtax is getting nothing out of it, as it should be. You don't own someone else's property just because they have an account on your forum. The dumpster fire of SA is enjoyable to witness though, as is the inevitable dumpster fire of NeoGAF after everyone but the think tanks are banned.
