Calling Dino Crisis a "whatever" franchise is the worst thing posted ITT. Please ban future spree shooter Rax pls

It would be like me constantly making threads about Wild Arms. It had its day. It's over. Please do not build your identity around a super 90s 2 game series.

IrishNinja is a cool poster.

not so far

I'm drunk I didn't mean to like this. I don't know how to undo it. Mods help!

But really, and take this anyway you want to, some people need a little gentle deprogramming. I don't think anyone here would disagree that Gaf fostered a somewhat cult mentality that was endlessly and positively reinforced. No disrespect to the ninja, and speaking as a cisgendered hot white male, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about.

The only thing that deprograms them is hard reality when the cult turns on them. Even then, they sometimes don't get it.

I feel that they have to be jolted. You don't break mental conditioning softly. It's only via repeatedly hearing harsh truth and then having the dark aspect turn on you and your self-defense kicks in.

I'm liberal I'm sure he could be getting it from worse. I like thom yorkes solo career for fuck sakes I'm probably on a list.

Gary Whitta must be writing the fuck outta The Statement.

he did, but disney canned it and getting in someone else to do the rewrite.

Now shut the fuck up about GG. We're almost at the point where we'll never hear it again.

btw, you only never hear about it because the names have changes. They most def are not *gone*. Just ask any woman in any kind of public facing position in the game/comic sphere.

Oh I'm sure. Petty dudes always stay petty. But I'm tired of everything being attributed to something that died off and had the crazies split into other dumb hategroups.

I just want to make sure there isn't a narrative that it's died off, because it hasn't. It's just not reported on. I know of at least 3 people personally that are being harrassed daily by the GG types who want to start up the same kind of thing in a different industry. Ignoring them doesn't do squat.

You're full of shit and those girls won't fuck you for it.

Etiolate, you think that GG accomplished something beyond being labeled perpetually as harassers. You are kind of nobody to tell other people that are full of shit.

Ninja's a good dude. Swam in his pool and played Sega CD at his crib not too long ago.

Don't know if etiolet even plays games tbh

He played Elite Dangerous for five minutes and then started whining about how space sims are too hard cuz he's too dumb to figure out how to land his ship

Hello everyone. Been lurking NeoGAF since early 2013, PC Bullshot Thread was what reeled me in (and I can't believe I'm seeing Dennis's face again, I blame you for making me start reading internet forums!) and been pretty much following what was happening all day, crazy stuff. A shame what happened to the site in the past couple years, especially the echo chamber it became with some subjects and the whole ban baiting and insane holier than thou attitude some posters had and that it felt like it was enabled by some bad mods, oh well...It's nice seeing some recognizable names/avatars and the forum seems cool, I think I might hang around some.

 

[Bamelin]

Smoky, just go to bed. It is late.

Dude, I know, I really should. It’s the perfect storm though, I’m high as fuck, missus and kid are wrapped up soundly, and I don’t need to be up early tomorrow. I want to tear myself away and play Zelda but it’s kicking off so quickly that I can’t stop gawping.

Just ten more minutes. Maybe twenty.

Omg Smokey!

Missed you brother, how did you get banned?  My perm came a couple months ago for WrongThink

[daemon]

The irony of the situation is simply GAF eating GAF.

GAF is the place where people jump on the bandwagon when the testimony of a woman is offered. No further proof required and no benefit of the doubt for the one targetted. merely attempting to give that benefit would get you dogpiled and banned. This is the trend that has been happening for over 4 years, when the forum took a deep dive into the social justice territory. Malka was super happy because it led a lot of mental cripples that couldn't handle open communities, and the growth of the site was apparently exponential.

But guess what, kill by the sword die by the sword.

It’s really shocking to see the lengths Microsoft and 343 will go, basically destroying an online community, to distract from the upcoming MCC patch debacle.

Just joined this afternoon, 'cause I'm bored of GAF being down. I'm Creaking. I'm whoever. Dunno if I'll stick around. Place is kind of like reading an endless string of inside jokes. But I'm here for the time being, I guess.

[SilentRob]

Your virtue signaling has no power here mithrandir

imagine spending every moment of your waking life sucking on bct members balls for their validation like a little bitch wigger fagget

ps you're neither irish nor a ninja, you culturally appropriating little twat. check your privilege

You dudes seem largely pretty awesome. Been laughing my ass off reading this thread for quite a while. I was a very regular poster on Gaf, I liked the place and still do but I don't tend to define myself over video game forums so this whole thing, people partying hard because it shuts down or getting a mental breakdown, either way, seems largely silly to me.  And it brought me to this place! So that's nice.

Question, though. How much of this forum consists of 4chan-level garbage like this? Because, yikes.

You're full of shit and those girls won't fuck you for it.

Just today I visited an event that was dinstictly pro LGBTQ, no-harassement-zone, fuck off if you wanna do anything but talk with likeminded people about their weird, cool video games, because you have to put that barrier up because otherwise many of the people attending get harassed to hell and back, as they are daily on social media. That shit is alive and well, sadly.

That's not to stop harassment. That approach that is. A lot of that stuff is steeped in social control.

Dicks and trolls online is alive and well, but outside of a place like kiwifarms, the idea its organized or centralized anywhere is false. It's random people deciding to be dicks. It's the same socially ill people that exist in the real world.

So it's not gamergate or 4chan or Russia. It's just people and it's sometimes the same people within that like-minded group do it in disguise.

Things have really escalated since I last read this thread 

[ChewyWaffles]

Posting about Mordor and go back up to Gaming where some dude was asking for a ban...I’m like WTF, an account suicide...oh but it was so much juicer than that.

[Rahxephon91]

Man I am eating this up. Watching GAF members eat up every recent thread since Harvey Gate and basically calling for the heads of anyone who happen to be human and valued eating over rocking the boat because life is not black and white has been super annoying. Now in a small way they have to decide if they are going to be just as "shitty" as the "shitty" people they pretend to be better than.

Literally only this thread. There's a half dozen or so Voat scrubs that shit it up but I have a feeling the landscape of GAF is going to change so vastly that the recent, less than savory tone of the thread fomented by GAFs shittiness will curb itself. Check outside of the thread though, the regulars are good peeps.

That's the only post that guy's ever made, so it's pretty atypical. Although this thread attracts the worst of that stuff because it attracts the losers who can't get over getting banned from a video game forum.
