Where's that guy who used to paste his elaborate Russia flowcharts based on things like people both ate at the same event and once traveled to other countries into every thread, he should send that to BuzzFeed quick, especially after this shocking groundbreaking expose about how a bunch of people who worked for the same company and shared similar views all e-mailed each other about what they should do content-wise and who they should hire/fire/work with. They'll need another bombshell to keep Gamergate on the run now that we finally have them like we did in 1945.

Whatever happened to TestOfTide? There are quite a few Nazis who could use RECEIPTS.

What the fuck. Someone criticized zelda botw for its shortcomings on gaf and that is apparently a big nono so it got locked by a mod. However if someone says Final Fantasy is shit or whatever game, it is going to be open for 40 pages discussion. Whats with the biased nintendo shill mods?

I'm convinced More_Badass never played a videogame.

He comes into every  game thread and either posts like he knows all about it only to reveal that he hasn't touched it or asks if he can play it because he never played anything else like it. This has happened enough times that I'm not sure what he's doing. He's like kickstarter's biggest shill for no real reason.

I'm still not sure how he became a mod.

Man, someone needs to bring up the EviLore ass slappin Euro adventure. Either what he did was sexual assault, and everyone should rake him over the coals, and then stop using NeoGAF, or it was a totally appropriate gesture in the moment, and discussing it should be no problem.

Sometimes I wonder about The Bore's browsing guests. When they read something like this do they instinctively reach for the 'ban/edit message' buttons, forgetting where they are?

For some reason massofanego comes across as creepy than genuinely empathetic. Maybe is because how hard he tries to be social conscious in Gaf.

Didn't 'Lore post some sort of revenge porn of an ex or nude photos of some other persons girlfriend or something?

[railGUN]

The immediate witch hunts on the first page (calling for his resignation, #fuckoff #milkshakeduck et al) were the trash responses there, not ones that followed. In almost every one of these cases the public will have an infinitely better sense of it all given a little time. In this case it didn't even take 24 hours. Taking a vaguely pragmatic stance while a breaking story that landed in the middle of the night and didn't contain any supporting evidence develops is not dismissing the allegation out of hand or calling the person stepping forward a liar, and the story developing in a particular (unsurprising...) way does not retroactively prove that initial approach wrong.

Reel in the reductive binary rhetoric. It's every thread on Off-Topic at this point.

Messo makes me think the distinction between "male feminist" and woke misogynist is quote blurry.

[WanderingWind]

Either that Mess dude is an ESL speaker, or he's certified creepy as fuck. Hard to tell over just text. But it could just be a dude who hasn't quite grasped the finer points of the English language.

He's more like a predatorial creepy sympathizer.

At one point in a bar a girl who didn't speak any English came up to me and started flirting heavily, then went straight into asking me to buy her a drink, as Itxaka translated when I didn't know what the hell was going on. I laughed, because drinks here were all of two Euros, but consented and then grabbed her ass hard to show her that I wasn't being taken advantage of, and she thought better of treating me as a mark and left without taking her drink.

[Momo]

He's right though, people should chill out

What can he do though? It's not like he owns the place 

[agrajag]

If we support shitty people just because they occasionally piss off some of the people we dislike, that makes us no better than the shitheads who like Milo just because he makes people on the left angry. If Fantano is fine with GamerGate supporters like Sargon, he's not worth it. We don't need people like him by any stretch of the imagination, they just poison the well.

So pretty much a repackaged 'nice guy'. Strange how everyone was making fun of 'nice guys' years ago only for them to adapt and become 'allies of women'. This is why you always finish your antibiotics friends

Really showed her, sexually assaulting a stranger in a bar

Threads like these amaze me. By continuing to use Neogaf, they are supporting someone who openly admitted to sexually assaulting a woman physically. But that's ok, because it was Evilore.

You make it seem like everyone isn't using adblock.

I just can't quite figure out why so many posters on NeoGAF are willing to boycott their favourite YouTuber's, writers, podcasters etc. over sexual harassment claims, and proudly proclaim it, on a forum owned by someone who publicly admitted, in his own words, to sexually harassing a drunk young woman, and then covered up the evidence by deleting the thread (and subsequent thread calling out his behaviour) and banned/bans anyone who brings it up.

Like, how do they reconcile these two things? Do they think it's some grand conspiracy by the Bore, Voat, etc.? There's no misunderstanding the context, it's laid out clearly and concisely, and it has been covered up as much as possible on a public forum. Yet, here we are.

Saw a guy on the Tube have this on his hoodie as well as having it as a tattoo on his forearm

Trying to draw from memory - anyone recognise it?

the symbol was on top of a head of an eagle on his hoodie, it was just the symbol on his arm

no it was very "gothic" writing style

my first reaction was that it was some sort of far right symbol - thats based on nothing but my own biases.

It should be super clear to you by now that these people do not in fact care for the causes they go to bat for, it's 100% a selfish social credit thing. Also, I dont believe anyone is boycotting anything they had any intention of watching/buying.

Something about ending on the line "and left without taking her drink" makes it so much darker. PUA blog status.

I think people forget that EL's forum can be liable for lawsuits if stuff is posted about real and potentially criminal accusations that are not vetted.  But most GAFfers are too stupid to understand this and still think GAF is just some fun forum, instead of a business entity. 

But the social justice crazies own the forum now and there's nothing EL can really do.
