While there are countless places to discuss video games on the Internet, NeoGAF has been one of the more common melting pots,
Does Patrick not know what that term means?
I can only guess he thinks it refers to the giant cauldron that mountain trolls have to cook little children in.
3. Klepek has no idea what he's doing. He fucked over Alison Rapp and got her sex work exposed. He's going to over-share with this girl and cause her problems. The best thing to do would be to make an article about GAF and its issues and Tyler's issues, because there's a lot to write about there. Instead, he's replaying a he-said, she-said drama between two messed up people.
He also makes it sound like he was on the forum ten years ago. He still posts there and is one of the longest standing members. He knows Tyler and probably should disclose that. Hell, there's a chance he ran into Evilore at the very e3 that's brought up in the article.

Due to this hostile relationship between GamerGate and NeoGAF, some wondered if the new allegations against Malka were fabricated as part of an attempt by GamerGate-friendly individuals to trick users. Several moderators I spoke to said this was the initial reaction internally, as well. It was a regular occurrence to have users "sacrifice" their accounts by posting inflammatory comments, knowing full well they'd be banned.
What fucking trash. Those "burnouts" were people posting the info in this very article. Jesus. I do enjoy that all these articles are making the argument that the only people talking about Tyler's misconduct were Gamergate and the people ignoring his conduct towards women were GAF and the press. So much for that female harassment narrative.

"A significant portion of the team stepped down in response to [the allegations]," said Malka, "and the rest of the negativity this year hitting a breaking point. 2017 has been depressing and toxic for moderation of social and political issues on a message board that's supposed to be primarily about video games. I totally understand, and I don't blame any of them for parting ways."
Sweet jebus Tyler. I don't know if you're a serial abuser or whatnot, but you are a fucking mental a piece of work.
