If resetera is carrying over bans then you know for sure that what triggered them before will trigger them again . It will still not value centrism and will not allow all games to be talked about. I know because I confronted evilore multiple times that he was a pure out and out Dawkins level islamophobe and xenophobe (if you were religious). I want to know with evilore not in the picture if they were just following orders with being islamophobic or they are.

Religious ppl are morons

I don't blame the Antifa supporters tbh, that country (United States) is such a joke that I'm surprised there isn't a total violent uprising.

No shade.

You're witnessing the rumblings of a violent uprising. Best believe that. What we're seeing in the NFL is essentially a modern day slave rebellion. It's only going to get uglier as the people (black people, principally) become more defiant of Trump, supporters, and the cowards on the left who want to compromise with these fascists.

Taking a knee is now the same as a rebellion, oh my god what am I reading.

[Swollen Bowels]

Looks like GAF is coming back up, so if you could all form a que to the left (get it?) and exit in a safe manner. Nice seeing y'all.

As it should. The furor over what EL was accused is ridiculously overblown, so much so that I'm shocked he took the site down. Most GAF members are either indifferent to the accusation or felt it was an innoccously untoward act committed by someone naively unclear on how to conduct themselves in that kind of sexually charged situation. They just want their forum back.

You mean they want their echo-chamber back where they don't want their opinions challenged.

First, is there something inherently wrong with an "echo chamber"? Is there a problem fostering a community where rank bigotry was deem unacceptable and forbidden? Also, can you give me some examples of valid opinions that GAF refused the expression of? Or, what opinions on GAF were deemed above reproach and undeserving of challenge?

An echo chamber is wrong in the case of Gaf as actual real discussion was frowned upon unless you were on the 'right' page with the loudest voices in those threads.

While there were clear and necessary lines drawn on what was tolerable opinion on GAF, there were also differences between the likeminded. You had many more left wing members of GAF who took exception, as even I did, against the feckless liberals that sought to excuse the normalization of fascism under the guise of "free speech."

Look many of us are open minded fair people but here's the difference we don't thrown our toys out the pram if someone challenges our world or political thinking.

Fascism isn't just a challenge to my political thinking; it's an existential threat against me and my loved ones. Acting as if this is innocent forum squabbles over ideas, is dangerously naive and does a true disservice to combating the growing threat.

There used to be a time on Gaf where people of different political persuasions could actually discuss back and forth their thoughts and ideas in POLIgaf and leave maybe a bit more changed and knowledgeable on their worldview.

There also used to be a time when we wrongly believed that a fascist couldn't be elected to the highest office in the world.

Gaf became a place where some very strange people gathered who wanted any reality to be crushed and refocused to only how they saw the world.

I'm sorry your feelings were hurt by GAF's response to Trump and what he symbolizes, but maybe you should feel more concerned for the actual victims of these Nazis and how their violence is being slowly and methodically normalized thanks to gutless moderates crying over infringements on speech.

Admit it, "normalized" wasn't in your vocabulary until you picked it up from GAF. Are any of these talking points your own or just something you picked up elsewhere and rehash as your own?

100% my own. I've been a long time visitor and participant on GAF, but my views are independently arrived at and the product of living in this vile nation for three decades and coming to the realization that I'm a minority suffering under a system of apartheid that is now transforming into the Fourth Reich.

Always wanted to ask on GAF but knew I’d catch a ban.

Its not a popular opinion by any stretch but..I still think being trans is a mental health problem.
And, as we can all really know, gaming does in fact collect the largest contingency of autist/special fellow types. Shut-ins, self loathing etc..
I think its has a 'fetish' quality to it also..and..we can see the odd fetish types also drawn to gaming. Furries, guys WAY to sexually deep into cartoon characters.

Its the one thing I just gonna not get past on GAF. Sorry, its a mental illness.
Give it time and old GAF would have had you banned for being a CIS male not willing to plow a Fur suit that labeled its self a 'female-fur' even tho the guy inside had a massive dong.

We are headed towards some really scary times. The internet was supposed to liberate people, and for a time it did, it gave people all the knowledge in the world at your fingertips and those of us that came into the internet as it was starting took full advantage of that.

It's flipped. The level of sophistication in manipulating people has never reached this level before. This is a propagandist's wet dream. We are having an ever increasing population less informed while the tools to target people for thought control is increasing exponentially.

So do you not care about racism towards blacks in the US, since it doesn't really impact you?

Well to be more specific:

I don't think racism is a big deal for white people in the US in general; in general institutional racism in America is practiced by white people.  Angry black people online saying blanket statements about white people isn't reflective of some greater problem in our society. 

I do think racism against minorities is a big deal and care a lot about that issue.

I think all racism is a big deal, fuck me, right?

A large amount of OT posts near the end of GAF were just "alt-right gonna be so mad about this". That thread about a Viking being buried with clothing that had Allah on it was full of "alt-right gonna be so mad!" and when it was debunked it became "well I wish it was true because the alt-right would be so mad!"

Or hell, that thread that posted the study citing that ancient Egyptians had little sub-Saharan ancestry and there were still people coming in that didn't read it and just went "white people gonna be so mad".

No, they really don't. I'm sure you would love to support their "right" and see that it's enforced, if even with force, but they absolutely do not have a right to advocate for my extermination. And, let's be honest, the white supremacists who support Donald Trump are ethno-terrorists who envision a future where genocide of non-whites is accepted. Thankfully, we are still quite a few years from that point, though Trump is certainly doing all he can to accelerate the process.

Does the trash that wants white people to die off deserve free speech? I think they do, even though they want to "exterminate" me. You're a crazy person.

Growing up in a very politically aware household that bordered on militant, I've always been aware of what lies beneath the surface. I was led by no such delusion that some of my other more credulous friends suffered under. GAF became a battleground against the rising fascism among the youth. I have absolutely no problem with how they dealt with opinions that fell out of favor with their "echo chamber."

Holy shit. You actually believe that don't you? If you genuinely believe that a war over the future of facism was waged on GAF then you blatantly don't understand how the world works outside of the internet and for bonus points, you don't really understand what fascism truly is. The only recent examples of real, actual, literal fascism I can think of in recent history are General Francisco Franco, Fidel Castro and of course, friendly North Korea. Do you honestly, in your heart of hearts think a little spat over a corner of a culture war on an internet forum is equivalent to the reign of those tyrants?

I have heard this one before, but I still laughed and it is a very good point that the fearmongers always forget.

"Trump is literal Hitler" and "Trump is inept and disrespected by the party he claims to be in" are diametrically opposed criticisms. 

Pick one.  And preferably pick the one with actual evidence to support it if you don't want to be laughed at.

Trump is very comfortable with defending Nazis, so is probably not that hard to campare him with Hitler, thought.

Nah, the world is as crazy as it always was. People used the early internet for knowledge initially, because that's all there was. And they still do, but most people just want to talk to other (mostly like minded) people or be entertained.

It's flipped. The level of sophistication in manipulating people has never reached this level before.

There is an argument with regards to algorithmically serving certain stories to certain people, but at the core, it's all still voluntary, despite the fact that some feel forced to be on Facebook or whatever.
