no way dude. place is done. ride that wave i guess.

I don't think the average gamer cares enough about sexual assault to stop posting tbh

Neogaf will stay around, it just won't be the same

YEah, there will be a horde of miscreants moving in now that the social studies warriors are ousted. I didn't mind that neogaf was ultra-left, only that it moderated with authoritarian identity politics.

So what happens when (if) Reset bombs and gets scattered into the wind? What's left of gaf will just be a bunch of splinter sites. And this thread will never die.

RIP.

Honestly, I don’t think GAF is dead.

In 2 weeks it will be back to mainly gaming shit. A lot of the Social Studies Warrior types will self-segregate, and the breezy limbos and whoever else will be gone for good. But my guess is like 95% of GAF traffic really doesn’t give a shit about how many asses Evilore grabbed or even who Evilore is.

Honestly GAF will be better with less topics about how breath of the wild sucks because you can’t choose to play as a girl link.

It was actually like a second RSS feed I checked every week or so to see if there was new info on some things. Oh well..

[benjipwns]

finally someone is willing to speak up:

The beauty and power of feminism has been bastardized to promote highly dysfunctional forms of psychological and physical abuse perpetuated by women. Sexual manipulation for financial gain is promoted as empowerment. Deception is promoted as cunning, and violence against men perpetuated by abusive women is supposed to be endured by men if they want to prove they are ‘good men’. Any righteous anger men express against careless, abusive, destructive females is decried as misogyny and totally disregarded by feminists making it impossible for humanity to address unhealthy attitudes and behavior in our society honestly. If feminism is a celebration of the strength of women how can we also be too fragile to hear the harsh truth about how their behavior impacts the men in their lives?

What I don't get is it takes EL so long to come up with this announcement.  If you post this 2 days ago you could have saved the majority of GAF's user base.

Also need I point out that most of this (traffic lost) is from you refusing to let people discuss it in this forum?

[benjipwns]

I honestly don't think it's for anyone to accept or not accept. I mean, I mainly used to hang in the OT, with the occasional lurk on the gaming side when I caught wind of new games or whatever. Like, this sounds bad I guess, but I honestly don't give a fuck about Evilore. Not in a bad way, and also not in a good way. It's just, I wasn't coming here to post because of him. I honestly go my entire day without thinking about what Evilore has been doing in his free time. I've been coming here forever because I like the community. I like the other people posting. I like going into NFL threads and knowing that LionsGAF will be there to hold me when Matt Stafford takes a shit all over the football field.

I also go to OT for news and updates. I like having one place where I can pretty much immediately know if there's a cool new TV show out, or a trailer coming, or whether 98% of NeoGAF thinks that Justice League is the cause of all evil in the universe.

All these things I do on here, I do irrespective of Tyler Malka. If he assaulted that woman, then shame on him. If he didn't, then that sucks as well. I don't know and I wasn't there. I can't fall on a sword for other people though, and even if I could, I don't really want to. I just want to have a website I can go to while I'm at work to help take my mind off of the shitty people I have to deal with day to day.

It'll eventually stabilize but there's no way it'll ever go beyond meme status from the greater gaming online community at this point. Not after this. It'll have its audience, but most of the draw to gaf was the community and the effort people put into stuff like the sales threads and shit like that. And a lot of those people are lonnnnnng gone. So it'll be stable but I just see this as the first real deathknell for the site. No way is it surviving for too long unless EviLore deliberately starts to market it to the alt right.

[Averon]

A lot of the same people going off about how "toxic" OT and gaming side became were a fucking part of it

A bunch Chimichanga Capybaras in there.

I would love to get a list of the EL ballwashers in that thread and how many of them engaged in the very toxic political culture they all now claim ruined GAF.

[Rise]

One question:
Since the intent is to try and make this a more hobby oriented, less political site, and since moderation changes are going to take place, and since the goal is to make the site return to being a place to gather to discuss and enjoy video games:

Will there still be bans made on the discussion of certain games that come out? As it was before:
Huniepop 2
Dungeon Travelers 2: The Royal Library & the Monster Seal
Hatred
Criminal Girls: Invite Only
Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors
Monster Monpiece
Moero Chronicle
Moero Crystal
were all banned from discussion, and no one could make threads on them. You couldn't even make threads to discuss them in a negative sense; people simply weren't allowed to talk about them, and for some of them, the reasons were very political and were focused on and associated with who was developing them. Huniepop 2 in particular suffered this especially. I know a lot of people liked Huniepop (I thought it was decent though it suffers a bit as a dating sim since you're encouraged to date everyone), and Huniecam was...liked by a couple people I guess. I was disappointed when Huniepop 2 was banned, and I believe there may have been at least a few people who would've liked to have been able to speculate about the game as well as discuss and compare it on release.

Will things still be this way? The disallowance of certain games from being discussed was one of my past grievances with Neogaf. None of these games were pornographic, and they were games sold in the West with many different aspects (gameplay mechanics, music, art, story, etc) that could be discussed about them. I always found it tragic that people weren't allowed to discuss certain types of games here, as this is a gaming website at the end of the day. Even if you don't like them, is it not important to be able to talk about and say so? To complain and say why these games are bad in various aspects?

this guy tried to post on kiwifarms and got doxed lol

[border]

What a shitshow, LMAO. I wonder if the community will stabilize at some point or if they'll just give up before that.

The community will stabilize really quickly I think.  Keep in mind that NeoGAF requires you to have a paid email address, and only approves new members every now and again.  Everybody that's getting booted out tonight won't be back anytime soon.  They are looking at a couple days of shitposting at worst but if they're liberal with the banhammer they will have it stamped out faster than you might expect.

I think the huge mistake was the OT shutdown, since that's going to encourage more people to Account Suicide than otherwise would have.  They should have just locked that forum down for new threads/new posts rather than made it look like they were wiping it entirely.

Yeah but without any other sites referencing GAF and the main posters gone, the site will likely start a slow but steady decrease in viewership over the next year. And knowing Evilore, he's going to react poorly to that and hasten the decline

[tummyfat]

Look at all this latent mental illness pouring out.

[BrokenEchelon]

At some point he's going to run out of members to ban and all that will be left are a few sycophants, pathetic people desperately clinging to the only place they've ever been accepted, and relatively new accounts who still don't really know what's going on. His revenue will dry up, and his only option will be to open the flood gates and let people register new accounts with regular emails. Once that happens, it'll be over.

If he had any brains, he should've pretended to be one of the forum members and offered to start the new site under an alias. Tricked a bunch of the morons into basically rebuilding his little shitstain domain under a new guise.

Are we sort of forgetting though that GAF was on a slow decline propped up in large part by that SJ W niche and several communities that sort of came to dominate a good chunk of the site?


Guess it certainly can and will keep chugging, and I guess we aren't really disagreeing as I keep writing this, but it does seem hard to imagine it stabilizing into anything but a fairly mundane medium sized outlet that forever carries a strong stigma.
