Is this mocking me for invoking it or the fact it exists?

mocking

You're just doing that way over the top GAF thing. Almost everyone here will agree that Jon Tron is very wrong and misguided and most will agree that he is a shit heel for saying all those things. But saying that he's a literal nazi, etc. is hysterical.

People like to call the Bore diet-VOAT, I see it thrown a lot as a way to discredit us for not taking things seriously enough. I like that this forum is the middle ground between two insane places. On the spectrum, we are the most normal. Average people sometimes wrong beliefs, they aren't perfect, and aren't held to be paragons of morality, where one misstep will lead the community to shun you and call you a literal nazi for expressing a few douchey beliefs. GAF did not operate even remotely close to reality.

I mean...you did listen to what he had to say right?

There's being a douche like pewdiepie, then there's pulling a JonTron and talking about all blacks being predisposed to criminality and shit. I agree Nazi shouldn't get thrown around liberally but c'mon man...you and I both know what he was talking about. If you think that's a bridge too far that's you; what he said was more than "a few douchy" things. I also said at worst, he didn't expound on it more after he realized he was kidna outting his shit beliefs. He could just be a regular racist shithead.

Should probably sear a brand into him, good point, we done here?

Well ignoring shit behavior is what got us an actual white supremacists for a President so...yeah.

Ya'll can keep ignoring it. I'll keep fighting it. You do you.

I hope you were not part of the Gaf progessive brigade, otherwise the irony is a little too thick.

I have yet to ask anyone be banned so no.

I'm not saying you're part of the problem. I just meant you guys do whatever. At the end of the day this is just a forum; no grand wars for peace and justice will be won here.

Except against Pinapple on Pizza eaters. You suck.

Theres a difference between ignoring and embracing. (duno if embracing is the right word here - lets go engaging)

I would hedge my bets on the fact that the meteoric rise of the far right with trump is due to the fact that theyve been societally silenced for the last 20 years.

I'm not so sure, he could probably turn it into a pro-GG, pro-Trump forum fairly easily and do quite well. He'll never be able to sell it, but he'll make enough money not to worry.

Does Evilore have any talents outside of MMA and awkward ass grabbing? I cannot imagine advertisers will want to associate with NeoGAF as longer as he owns it. The hit to his ad revenue must be immense. Maintaining his world hopping lifestyle will be difficult moving forward.

NeoGaf store was just as bad as the proposed NeoGaf magazine.

Anyone remember the NeoGAF podcast linked on the homepage?

I never clicked on it. A desperate attempt to be a real reporting-on-gaming website and secure E3 invites? Malka stopped receiving E3 invites precisely because it wasn't an IGN or Eurogamer.

I've been told Ghaleon did leave, but Kagari is going down with the ship. No surprise whatsoever, imo. You keep fighting that fight, Hagari.

[Sai]

I mean...they were talking about how JonTron felt about politics; kinda hard to argue it was spur of the moment feelings. He genuinely believes that stuff. So yes, he is a racist at best and a nazi shitlord at worst.

Perhaps some perspective on you as well wouldn't hurt. WE don't need to both sides Nazism and white supremacy. I get what you mean about idiocy and whatnot but that excuse only works on spur of the moment behavior not open discussions and pattern of behavior.

I'm sorry, but this does not make him a white supremacist. He said something stupid on an informal stream. It was about Nationalism and iirc broached the topic of race. If you've ever been face to face with a mad af genuine white supremacist, you'll realise this isn't even in the same ballpark. However, by lumping JohnTron in with an actual, literal, White Supremacist what you have done is actually reduce the impact of that term. The more you use that to label folk who say things, no matter how inappropriate or offensive, that you don't like, the more you'll reduce the impact of that word and potentially lead to greater acceptance of a repugnant viewpoint.

Lastly, the fact that you are accusing me of "both sides"ism now, when I've actually not said anything to defend what JohnTron said and merely called for a sense of perspective and reasoned thought is a clear indication that you are incapable of looking at anything in a nuanced way, instead defaulting to an "us vs them" mentality. Is your NeoGAF Stockholm Syndrome REALLY that bad?

this is definitely the most distinguished mentally-challenged thing ive read on this forum so far. what a great post!

I just looked it up and it's just a bunch of disgruntled dudes who can't stand that GAF didn't allow them to be sexist or racist because of those damn Social Studies Warriors and that damn political correctness. How pathetic of a life must these people have to hate-follow another site?

but if people are into that sort of community before it turns full on alt-right and start aligning with neo-nazis, go ahead.

 

Any place having "fun" discussing the Gaf meltdown is no place I'm interested in visiting.

In this story, worst thing is those allegations are not that bad. Malka sure crossed a line and was acting creepy with girl and I feel for her, but it should just have apologized sincerely in a video or something like that and propose the girl some irrevocable admin position on the site, before stepping down himself from his position after that, all the while still profiting from the revenue from the site.

I don't know if it would have solve the problem, but it could not be as bad as it is now. Even famous european journalists jumped on the case now, the guy is in deep shit now.

Suppressing every discussion of the topic was definitely the worst way to deal with it. Being open in these cases is always a better idea. Should have made a statement, a topic to discuss it in, then step down and hand over the admin rights while he still owned the domain and ad income.

Of course best way would have been to... not enter showers uninvited.
