Bish was one of the most levelheaded, balanced, and fair mods on the forum.

 

No he wasn't. He was a black man that had power and anyone that didn't stay in step with his short-man syndrome (over his race) would get banned. Don't agree about Black Lives Matters methods? "Why don't you explain?" *explain* "BANNED!"

Blackace was even worse, constantly perma-triggered if you even THOUGHT anything that goes against his black-ass thoughts.

Both protected sports threads. Both protected the Black Community Thread monster that made police shootings, race discussions, black-lives-matters threads a hellish experience in actually trying to discuss "maybe wait for the facts?/etc." posts.

I remember the BCT going off about how one (spoiler)Asian-mixed(/spoiler) Oklahoma City cop was gonna get off because "he looks white!" for sexually assaulting women he pulled over.

Spoiler: He was found guilty and they instantly 180'd into "OF COURSE HE WAS GONNA BE FOUND GUILTY!"

Fuck Slayvern, fuck the BCT posters, fuck Bish, and fuck Blackace. They made the board worse. Double-so with Besada protecting them because having biases in his bans.

A normal outlook would be that it was probably equally bad or a bit less, but still very bad. But regardless was a larger factor at scale and thus a more prevelent issue across society. But of course the whole engagement of coded talk is met with project of dog whistles to indiscriminately dogpile people.

Bish was one of the most levelheaded, balanced, and fair mods on the forum. But he had a keen ability to sniff out the alt-right trash that flocked to GAF, who almost always masked their intent in disingenuous attempts at "discussion" that teased certain implications before making it all too obvious what they represented. The type who are "just asking questions, guys."

Actually that's another thing, since there were campaigns from neogaf to remove milsh... uhm, fallen internet celebrities from videogames, have they haras... uhm, politely requested for the devs to remove gaf references from videogames?

He was banning people who were criticizing protesters for inconveniencing them as they marched in the streets. He banned people who began pushing the idea that "identity politics" was somehow anathema to any possibility of Democratic wins, as if the Republican party's entire platform isn't focused on "identity."

Well that changes everything? Thinking protesters are assholes? Why next thing you know we'll all be in camps! How dare they call anyone out? This cannot be tolerated!

Those fucking racists all of them!!

Even worse. how dare they think that identity politics is full of shit? Ok, here's what we'll do send me their names and I'll personally send them a copy of "Between the World and Me" and it should immediately set them straight.

After "lived experience", "I don't feel safe" is quickly becoming the most useless phrase in modern lexicon. It states nothing, it doesn't deal with whether or not the fears are justified and puts all the importance on the person saying it. No one gives a shit if you "feel" safe. As you said, you're on a message board. It's the damn internet. Deal with it, you insufferable pansy.

God it reminds me of the day after the election where a facebook friend of mine said he was going to hide under his bed because he thought Trump was going to send people after him, and he was being serious. Or someone saying that now they see that the world is full of monsters because people disagreed with them.

I like TNC’s writing, but feel like he always falls flat in the conclusion of his essays. Usually because he doesn’t have one.

Like he wants to say “here’s the case for reparations but I can’t be bothered to even hypothesize about what they might look like”. It’s an annoying trend in his writing, where he walks right up to the line of taking an actual position on something and then turns around and walks home.

[ToxicAdam]

Maybe short-term that is an advantage. But, I imagine he took the longer look at the community he had cultivated and realized most of the shithead users and mods that give his site a bad rep make their homes there (in OT and OT community).

I think GAF's niche is in the game community threads around games/platforms. You can't really find anything quite like it on the internet. Especially on the smaller titles.

I shouldn't even bother with you as you're distinguished mentally-challenged, but here's my reply:

Bish was reacting that way way before Trump came into the picture. I get black struggles and the feeling of inadequacy for them. But when you openly endorse "fuck white people/I want to kill them" (like that one BCT poster makes), why the fuck would you wonder that white people are distrustful of black folks or not supporting the movement?

BLM failed because of the open hostility toward anyone that was "yeah, I agree with you but I'm not gonna march with you"-level.

That's not to mention that Bish was a power-tripping egotistical bitch that would "lawn mower" threads because he somehow got up on the wrong side of the bed that morning and didn't think actual discussion should be allowed in certain topics (read: race, generally). Then would get off on the BishBanned.gif's in a "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?" way.

I'll give you he gave you the ability to back off ("you want to explain that?") before banning you. But he was far from a reasonable mod.

[VomKriege]

Thats not what its about. There was no discussion about a prominent mod. And Malka lied about knowing his name.

But, ultimately, what does that have to do with discussing video games on a message board? Shady, for sure but nothing to do with posting about video games.

Legit surprised, especially when quotes like this:

Black bodies exploited by a system that is one of the only few avenues of wealth in the black community, where they're appreciated for their athleticism and only discriminated against when they speak their mind against the dominant society? Sure sounds like slavery. Millions without actual freedom are meaningless.

gave me even odds that you are an AI program designed to imitate what Coates' response would be in any given scenario.
