Serious question: why are so many requesting bans ? Can't you just not come ? Why make a show of exiting ? So weird

It's so they can screen cap it to prove to the resetera inquisitors that they're morally beyond reproach. AKA bullshit posturing.

That's actually a pre-requisite to joining?

Resetera sounds like a disaster in the making

Kind of, actually. Not necessarily about account suicide but posting screen caps of their best posts.

The amount of mental gymnastics™ it must take for such a hive of self-righteous virtue signalers™ to go crawling back after all the shit hit the fan... Man, is the irony lost on them or what?

How can people like CrossingEden foam at the mouth over his opinions on Japanese games (creepy, sexist, yadda yadda) and then turn around and go back to toiling under an actual creep like EL?

Holy shit I was wondering why GAF was down for so long, I've missed this place for the last few days and I'm glad we're back up. Having read ELs OP I can't believe the community reacted in such a way, presumably without all the facts. From what I understand about Evilore he's a standup guy, a cool dude and an intelligent human being. I hope you pull through this tough period and your reputation is restored. I will continue to support GAF for what it's worth and not pass judgement on matters I do not completely understand. On the topic of members harassing other members they need to be flushed out.

Okay, fuck it. I've buttoned my lip around here for a while, guess I'll test the waters post-shakeup.

All of this mess is absolutely insane. Even in the absolute worst case scenario, we're talking about something that could only euphemistically be called sexual misconduct and moral weakness. Which has nothing to do with running a forum.

I don't care. About any of it. And it's stupid that one guy swinging and missing (Even if the timing of his swing was shit!) has led to this.

Apparently that makes me a dogshit human. Oh well! Maybe she really was so shaken up that even years after the fact she lies awake at night reliving her horror. Maybe she saw all her friends #metoo'ing and grabbed the worst experience of her life to share. Maybe she just wanted to take a shot at an ex using something crap he did once. Whatever the case is, it's totally irrelevant to me.

Thanks for doing this utterly thankless bullshit, GAF-staff one and all.

You eat fucking factory meat every day made in horrendous circumstances that damage the planet, your health and are inhumane to the animals. You consume so much shit and disregard the consequences of 90% things daily. Why would this be different? because this is a topic you care about? Newsflash: most people are decent at heart, but can't be arsed to do anything.

Compared to these things Evilore is small fry and people are thirsty for game news, and while we can all agree he is an idiot and socially inept the story against him in this case is a bit weird, if in the end they actually were in a relationship. But who knows in these socially inept people how they do.

Shit like this was always the funniest fucking thing to me. 99.9% of Gaf were so deeply ensconced in their bubble that thought they basically ran the industry and that Sony, MS, Ubisoft, etc were inserting paid shills there to try and control the narrative ALL THE TIME.

Earlier in the year when Wildlands came out and was, at the time, the best-selling game of the year (OVER ZELDA), Gaf went fucking crazy because... w-wha?! How could this be?! We all shit on the game when the beta was out and there was practically NO HYPE on the gaming side?!? Who is playing this game? They literally couldn't process how something could be successful without the full support of Gaf, industry tastemakers.

These are the same people who are shocked, absolutely shocked and offended, when Sony runs a call of duty trailer at their huge fucking press conference instead of giving Ni No Kuni a 30 minute live demo or someshit.

[PogiJones]

Whew, the thread seems to have finally slowed down to the point where communication can happen.

I think ResetERA is going to bomb as compared to GAF's activity, their paranoia (maybe justified in this case) of enemy infiltration and sabotage is pushing them way too hard into exclusivity territory. It's going to hurt their appeal.

That, and that they're crazy.

I think they'll be able to maintain a bigger community than The Bore, though. So if you feel you get your message board needs fulfilled at The Bore, I imagine most members of ResetERA will feel satisfied with their experience there.

I once told Gaf (correctly) that from a platform-holder's standpoint, having a 1-month exclusive on CoD map packs was worth more than a AAA exclusive like Horizon in terms of actually moving hardware units.

I believe I got banned for wrongthink on that one.

It's not even hard to see why that is true. Claim all the first week sales for a massive franchise that you didn't foot the dev bill for and rack in a check, or risk mounds of money founding a new ip that you'll probably not entirely recoup the investment cost and is more done to pad out your platform to sell consoles. I want the latter, but clearly the former pays better.

Who knows, the unadulterated GAF experience is probably more bitter when there is no more excuses about other behaviors. Tight communities survive by goodwill, so they already fucked up.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand shower rape. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of women's psychology most of the signals will go over a typical raper's head. There’s also Tylers’s narcissistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his online persona- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Oedipus and Rolf Harris, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these teachings, to realise that they’re not just true- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike shower rape truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the inspiration in Tyler's personal catchphrase “Calm and Resolved” which itself is a cryptic reference to Jimmy Savile. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Tylers’s genius wit unfolds itself on their Computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, i DO have a NeoGAF tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand, and they must be in the shower. Nothin personnel kid 😎

One last thing: is harrasment/racism/insert a wrong here ever ok? No

Can a person change: yes

I think this is very fundamental to whats wrong with todays culture, people being held up a mirror of where they were at some point to where they are now. As if their personality and psyche is some kind of monolith that doesn’t change. Like you can’t be a feminist now and try to live up to that now if in the past you were an idiot. This doesn’t make you a hypocrite per se, but a changed man.

Not saying this is the case with EL but in general everyone gets put under this microscope of scrutiny and no one can live up to imaginery standards of perfection.

I seriously think that forgiveness, even of people that have done--and may still do--terrible things, is paramount. If people could just see each other as people, we could seriously make progress. That doesn't mean you must be naive, either. If someone is dangerous to society, they and their behavior need to be managed. But I think we can manage bad-behaviored people without hating them. Forgive and manage.

We humans are seriously not equipped evolutionarily speaking for modern digital life. So much of human interaction is non-verbal and so much is built on the fact we don’t have a historical encyclopedia of everyone’s past. A spotty and incomplete of context one at that.


It’s reverted us back to scarlet letter style pillory nonsense. But shit can be a near life sentence and not even get a day in court over your sentencing.


I definitely sympathize on that end. Then again that dark side of me wants to also say on the meta level, evilore fostered that very type of culture for monetary gain and is seeing that pillory culture bite him in the ass. So it’s hard to feel THAT bad for the guy even though my ideal self would be a bit more empathetic in most other situations.
