GAF turned to shit when the warriors took over with Amirox, Lime and Crossing Eden as their kings. They are the most vile and toxic gaming community on the web. Hundreds of people banned every week for not following the hivemind. A bunch of blood-starved psychos obsessed with feminists, alt-right and GG. Everyday they had a new game to shit on and "boycott" because it didn't follow their twisted "values". I hope Jim Sterling is next, another toxic blight in gaming.

There are other communities on the web setting up rallies where they carry torches, carry signs that say "death to all Jews" and drive cars into crowds

Gaf was full of shitty losers but the general momentum of their worldview was a good thing

Also who gives a fuck about "gaming"

That is huge lowbar, specially since having two pedophiles as mods at some point.

I'm talking about the users, not the leadership

Shrill and whiny? Sure. Feminism is a bad thing and they should shut up about it? With the current administration doing what it's doing and the millions of responses showing just how common the Weinstein scandal is?

I've said it plenty of times, people on GAF are nice, but many were put on submission by power-users and ever-changing forum non-disclosed policies. I still hang out with gaffers, but the place itself is garbage and everyone had alts to actually post on GAF. I never cared enough for an alt.

[jacob.armitage]

Its funny. I read and post regularly on GAF (been there since 2000) but I normally have no clue about any of these controversial posters (except for Amirox. Fuck that guy) or drama goings on.

I always seem to miss a lot of it too despite spending probably at least an hour a day on GAF for the past 8 years or so.

[EightBitNate]

Ejecting gamergate trash en masse is the best thing GAF mods ever did. The continued asspain over it proves it was effective.

But Tyler was always the weakest link in the leadership (aside from amir0x) and this kind of thing was just a matter of time.

I find that usually when people say “fuck GamerGate”, they really don’t know what it is. The whole thing is so complicated. I’m not in favor of anyone getting harassed at all, but NeoGAF made them out to be the literal boogey man. Might get flamed for this, but Kotaku In Action isn’t really a bad place in my opinion. Sure, you have some overlap with The Donald garbage, but I find that the sub is usually on the right side of an argument. Sue me.

Yes, yes, to harm Hillary and elect Trump, we've all been over this and known about it for over a year now. You were here for our uncovering that plot, especially me and Vom digging where others dare not tread to find the heroes on GAF doing real journalism to uncover it.

The problem with NeoGAF was that you were either with the hive mind, or against them. You couldn't even have a moderate opinion on anything without getting banned. You were always on egg shells.

I'd rather assholes just be assholes. At least then I'll know they're assholes. I still feel that NeoGAF was partially responsible for the GamerGate thing. They shut down all discussion on it, which kicked off a lot of the conspiracies, which just escalated things. If people were allowed to discuss it, it probably would have just blown over in a few days.

Anyway, it's going to be interesting to see if the site can survive this. Lore will definitely have to sell the site or something. Dude is a creeper.

[OpinionatedCyborg]

Hay guys.

What the fuck happened here today?

By sheer coincidence, poly saw a woman make a post on facebook where she described an unwanted encounter with Tyler Malka. He made screenshots, distributed the images shared the images, and then three days later they started filtering their way on to neogaf. A few mods resigned/were banned and a few users were scrubbed from the site entirely (backslashbunny's account was renamed and all of her posts removed). This gave the woman's account more plausibility (members see mods resigning, so they think there might be some fire to go with that smoke) and people began asking WTF was going on. Initially, these threads were shut, so people began discussing Evilore's alleged sexual assault in other threads. Some of these other threads were locked, but one by one the mods began to resign and those who remained didn't seem interested in covering up for Evilore anymore. We're now at the point where the entire forum is in open rebellion. Multiple people, including myself, have posted images detailing Evilore's European sexual exploits as well as his decision to leak olimario's gf's nudes. No one's getting banned (although I'm sure I will be if the forum survive). All admins except one have resigned. Around 10 mods have officially resigned, but I've heard an additional 3 - 4 are also done with GAF... but there's no one left to remove them so their names remain on the staff page.

So yeah, MMA-GAF took down Evilore. He's been in 1000 fights, but this is one his jitz didn't prepare him for.

It feels good to finally post here, after considering making an account for a week or two now.

I've been browsing The Bore for a few months now, as my dissatisfaction with GAF grew by the day,
I started off on Gaf during the 2016 election, finding the site through looking for threads on old topics to read (something I enjoyed), and appreciating the site of a rare, highly active, straight forum.
But as my lurking continued I noticed the mass grave bannings, and got a feel for the culture.
I was drawn towards it being left leaning, but was unsure of whether I could properly navigate those troubled waters, though after much deliberation, I obviously took the plunge.

My first account lasted under a month, I wasn't sure how to properly interact with the BCT as the slang/humor wasn't something in my vocabulary/a practice of mine as a black man, so after a few failed posts I bailed, and ended up in Poligaf, my biggest mistake, as I was not only a Bernie supporter, but I wasn't the most knowledgeable person on some fronts.

My banning came hours or a day after an argument in there, with the simple message "I don't think this site is a good fit for you"  (and maybe it also said that they hoped I would find a community I fit in, can't remember.)

(After I found out about Bishop and his unjust election bans, I figured that it might have been from him.)

My second account lasted a few days or a few weeks, I don't remember doing anything notable, so I assumed that maybe they pinged my i.p as being the same as the banner account, or I just stepped on the wrong mods toes, I don't know, I can't tech.

My third and final account (of the same name as this), is where I finally managed to lay low and navigate GAF-culture, I made GAF-Hop my home, and like a servile dog I bent the knee to the sites popular opinions and tailored my opinions towards them through watering down my beliefs, omitted vocabulary I believed would get my labeled as right-wing, some of which, being terms I never felt the need to use/ever utter, until I was faced with the rabid virtue signaling and purity politics of GAF (like the two terms I just used), or just shut up when in the face of what I believed could be a potential dogpile, all behaviors in stark contrast to how I am in my personal life, or anywhere else on the web, I let the GAF machine bend me to it's will.

My breaking point was when I went overboard in the Fantano thread, I couldn't handle the lack of nuance and self-eating nature of the site any longer, the toxicity had reached it's boiling point with me.

None of this is a big deal, it's just a forum, I'm not doing anything impressive, and my post is over-dramatic and everything, but it feels good to vent again, the last time I was able to vent like this was election night  (which felt awkward considering who won, but vindicating considering the site culture), and this is a much better place as of now.

Yeah. I've been in gaf since, what, 2005? 2006? But I've never been privy to all these controversies and internal stuff. I think it's mostly because I never bothered or wanted to engage in the IRC/discord/whatever stuff that formed it's own cliche with everyone. That and I stopped posting insane amounts to keep up with that fast moving forum.

Not that I'm complaining. It was certainly better for my mental health lol

Sure, gamergate was toxic trash. Morons lashing out at women because they were bored and / or couldn't get laid. No one with a brain disagrees. But they needed that same firm hand against the trolls and agitators who were only on the site to ban bait using debatable progressive positions and presenting them as morally inarguable, and thereby sowing discord for drama's sake.

The site never got a grip on that and ended up fostering a community where half of the users felt like a tiny minority of users were intentionally poisoning every discussion they could and getting away scott free. A site where off-topic bled into gaming side way, way too much for those of us who were just there to chat about meaningless electronic timewasting entertainment and sort out some decent multiplayer matches.

I still think Lime was someone doing a cariacture of the typical GAF ban-baiting militant progressive who interprets every single thing the wrong way, and have no idea how that act was allowed to go on for so long. But it did, and Lime absolutely racked up the perms on other members. Shit was insane.

By the end, any kind of moderate reply to a social topic was seen as dogwhistling or gaslighting and would be attacked with snide bait posts like 'tell us what you really mean', 'just asking questions, huh', 'i see you' etc. If half the dogwhistles these people were actually there half the canines in the US would be deaf by now.

Fuckers damn near had a heart attack when I said I don't identify as a feminist.

I'm mostly writing this to quote myself when it happens but Jim Sterling looks exactly like the type of higher than thou male feminist that is sexual predator. People have even compiled a list with those hypocritical fucks being exposed one after another after another after another....

Its funny. I read and post regularly on GAF (been there since 2000) but I normally have no clue about any of these controversial posters (except for Amirox. Fuck that guy) or drama goings on.

Yeah. I've been in gaf since, what, 2005? 2006? But I've never been privy to all these controversies and internal stuff. I think it's mostly because I never bothered or wanted to engage in the IRC/discord/whatever stuff that formed it's own cliche with everyone. That and I stopped posting insane amounts to keep up with that fast moving forum.

Not that I'm complaining. It was certainly better for my mental health lol

They ban so that people can't get the word out to their friends on the site. In 2017 it's a lot easier to get around that.

I got banned for bashing a game that one of the mods was working on (bishop, the one whose cock even people in here have been sucking). Another mod reduced his ban. When I came back I wasn't "as upbeat as I used to be" so I got perma'd. This was in like 2007. This site has been bullshit for longer than most of the people showing up today have been posting. The constant bans make it impossible for there to be any continuity for these sorts of things.
