elf is not even pretending anymore

it's all burnt down anyway, so what gives eh  :D


Wow. He never learns, does he? Instead of being more civil and less obnoxious after what happened he's doubling down and acting like a 15 year old troll which will drive out even more people. WTH is wrong with this guy? Just be the bigger man dude and act politely, that'll show you've changed and will make them look like the assholes. Jesus, he sucks at PR.

So I want to say that I'm taking a break from this thread. I did some things earlier all in name of lols that hurt some people. I'm at a point where I'm so misanthropic that I don't care if I hurt people. I'm sorry to be an asshole and I think this thread is making many of the people within come out for the worse. It's the only part of the bore like this, but at the end of the day upon reflection, I still feel like a garbage person what I did. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone reading or participating. I've had a rough year (or two) and I've used that anger to just channel it into hate as I descend lower and lower into depression. I need to get some help but don't know where to start. Currently drinking. As usual.

Cindi, you were one of the names I saw when checking this place out a few months ago that showed me this must be a good forum.  Please don't be so hard on yourself.  I'm sure you didn't hurt anyone.

Mumei's argument was basically that not wanting to fuck dudes made you a bigot.

It's not the single craziest Social Studies Warrior argument I had ever seen, but it's up there.

Also, giving someone AIDS on purpose is terrible and such an action warrants prison so the crazy fucker (pun not intended... I think) doing it is stopped.  Even if the incident rate is low, there's nothing inherently wrong with a criminal law that doesn't see much use.
Transgender women are women

AIDS is not HIV.

But I know where arguing with you goes -- endless tedium.

"Transgender women are..." folks who if you want to have sex with, more power to you, but a lot of dudes don't want to, and that's okay, and not rationally worthy of condemnation, in the same way wanting to isn't.  Mumei's argument was that not wanting to fuck humans with a Y chromosome is to be bigoted against them.

Also, semantics about HIV and its end stage does not help produce a counter argument to the moral, civil, and criminal liability of deliberately infecting someone with a disease that will eventually kill them and in the meantime require exceedingly expensive medications for the remainder of their life.

Sex isn't rational to begin with. You're sticking your penis in a hole, and this is for some reason the most amazing thing imaginable. It's just a hole. Why not any other hole? Why not oil up a rubber tube and go to town on it? Okay, I admit I already do that, but you know, You're doing it imagining it is a vagina.

When you think of it like that, you can see that it makes no sense outside of primal instinctive impulses. You prefer the real thing because yìou're programmed to procreate. Just the same way that you find the act pleasurable to begin with because you are programmed to.

The idea that not wanting to have sex with a trans woman is 'bigotry when the whole thing is an illusion created by the brain and makes very little sense outside of it, seems a little absurd.

EL is still doubling down in that "If you were GAF's owner" thread.  :lol

It looks like he learned nothing from this ordeal. Or maybe he did learn something and decided to embrace the smug, out-of-touch persona he built for himself. Drop all pretense and go full :trumps.

In any case, with EL like this, I cannot see GAF ever recovering. Maybe he is at peace with that.

Damn, why is he co-mingling with the common folk?

Can't wait for the editorial in some online publication 5-10 years down the road about how he made an absolute killing catering to wimpy teenagers and sheltered adults.

I am assuming this is a joke. I will say though there is logic to sex in that you create offspring. However,  the whole, "fuck yeah! I am going to pound that ass. Take it bitch, yeah, yeah, yeah!" Makes no sense outside of primal impulses. Lol

It makes absolutely no sense.

Jerry: Why shouldn't we be able to do that once in a while if we want to?
Elaine: I know.
Jerry: I mean, really, what is the big deal? We go in there. [Points to the bedroom] We're in there for a while. We come right back out here. It's not complicated.
Elaine: It's almost stupid if we didn't.
Jerry: It's moronic.
Elaine: Absurd!
Jerry: Of course, I guess, maybe, some little problems could arise.
Elaine: Well, there are always a few.
Jerry: I mean, if anything happened, and we couldn't be friends the way we are now, that would be really bad.
Elaine: Devastating.
Jerry: Because this is very good. [Points back and forth between them to indicate friendship]
Elaine: And that would be good. [Points to bedroom]
Jerry: That would be good too. The idea is combine the this and the that. But this cannot be disturbed.
Elaine: Yeah, we just wanna take this and add that.
Jerry: But of course, we'd have to figure out a way to avoid the things that cause the little problems. Maybe some rules or something.
Elaine: Huh.
Jerry: For example, now, I call you whenever I'm inclined and vice versa.
Elaine: Right.
Jerry: But if we did that, we might feel a certain obligation to call.
Elaine: Well why should that be? Oh, I have an idea. I have an idea. No call the day after that.
Jerry: Beautiful. Let's make it a rule.
Elaine: All right, sir.
Jerry: Now here's another little rule. When we see each other now, we retire to our separate quarters. But sometimes, when people get involved with that, they feel pressure to sleep over. When that is not really sleep. Sleep is separate from that. And I don't see why sleep got all tied up and connected with that.
Elaine: Okay, okay. Spending the night is optional!
Jerry: Well now we're gettin' somewhere.

Gaf is kind of sad to watch now. I must say I did not realise just how emotionally invested in forums some people got. Between the malaise at neogaf to the elation at resetera. People are posting about how the past week has emotionally affected them. Like that's kinda weird as hell to me.

I'm feeling odd about the posters on GAF who say they are going to be members of both "to see what happens", so they're basically saying they're playing both sides and they'll pick the winner in the end. This shouldn't bother me but it makes these people look slimy.

It's weird to me too.  Especially stuff like when they call it their "home".  Like it's an actual, physical place they go to, instead of a webpage they bring up on their computer screen.

I'm at a point where I'm so misanthropic that I don't care if I hurt people. I'm sorry to be an asshole and I think this thread is making many of the people within come out for the worse. It's the only part of the bore like this, but at the end of the day upon reflection, I still feel like a garbage person what I did. I'm sorry to disappoint anyone reading or participating. I've had a rough year (or two) and I've used that anger to just channel it into hate as I descend lower and lower into depression. I need to get some help but don't know where to start. Currently drinking. As usual.
You're not a garbage person, Himu. It's never a bad idea to step back and take a break from a thread like this, especially with the events of the past week. Hope you have a good weekend, and try to surround yourself with some combination of friends, TV, games, or other activities to keep busy and keep your mind off your struggles. I don't know if you're one for hiking or outdoorsy shit, but getting up high and enjoying a sunrise is usually helpful when I need a positive start to a day.

Gaf is kind of sad to watch now. I must say I did not realise just how emotionally invested in forums some people got. Between the malaise at neogaf to the elation at resetera. People are posting about how the past week has emotionally affected them. Like that's kinda weird as hell to me.
It's weird to me too.  Especially stuff like when they call it their "home".  Like it's an actual, physical place they go to, instead of a webpage they bring up on their computer screen. 
One of the biggest disconnects I have with these kids is them treating internet communities like it's their real lives.
it's sad that you guys have such empty lives that you can't appreciate connecting with other human beings:

I never realized how much I value reading and posting on a gaming forum. Feels good to have a place to decompress and just chill out.

The fresh start sure has motivated me to engage more, that's for sure!

The weekend's (and week's) events had really stressed me out, which wrecked my work schedule and made me have to work overtime
Quote
I was seriously unable to focus on any of my work when we were in limbo.
Quote
Yeah, I felt so out of touch with the news, lol.
Quote
Yes! I'm feeling ready to get all my work/game time/everything back on schedule and get into my groove again. I fell behind my friend in Danganronpa v3 when I was ahead of him for so long, hopefully I can catch up, lol.
Quote
The other forum was the only one I used, so I thought that was all there could be.
Quote
I know how you feel. I was so stressed. The website i visit daily, pretty much live on when I get home from work was no more, or at least not the same it was before this weekend.
Quote
Oh man.

I am so happy that I can be here, at my new home again.
Past 12 hours were so stressful as I had account problems, but now all is fine and I feel like I belong somewhere. Again.

Previous site I was on all the time - while commuting, while at work, at home, at holiday even.
Quote
Yeah was a huge relief when i logged in here for the first time, nice to have a friendly diverse forum again to hang around and discuss things in. In all my years online this is easily the best community i have been part of.
Quote
The FAQ here and first couple days of posting have really done wonders for me, I feel much calmer and more positive about us than i have in years and years.
Quote
It's easily much more relaxed and stress-free. Compared to last week, which even a YouTube channel i follow mentioned it, i feel i can chill and engage.

Cindi, you were one of the names I saw when checking this place out a few months ago that showed me this must be a good forum.  Please don't be so hard on yourself.  I'm sure you didn't hurt anyone.

"One of the good ones"

Is this the hill you want to die on?

Looks like you haven't got the GAF out of your system yet.  This is a GAF like post.  Misquoting, misreading, and saying something that doesn't make sense.  You don't worry about dying on hills here.  That's GAF.  Post better here.  :)

OMG DID YOU ACTUALLY JUST SAY THAT, I'm literally shaking RN, I just can't even

Y'ALL*

DID YOU JUST ASSUME MY STATE RESIDENCE AND CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE ITS SLANG?  IS THIS REAL LIFE?

Hey man, we do it right in Texas.  I lived in Tennessee a long time and more typically it's "all y'all" or slurred into "allyall".  And New Yorkers say "yous guys" which should be a PC Principal micro-aggression.

Tempted to say we need some horrible reaction GIFs for it to really feel like GAF.  But then they might actually be posted.

On an ending note, I don't know why you guys kept making fun of Dennis when he was on GAF and now in here, he looks like a model with high cheekbones and a chiseled jaw compared to the typical overweight neckbear. Projecting much?

We are fine with the current system. I don’t know how many people actually lett, but I imagine the number wasn’t too significant. We have for sure lost most of the more active members though. Still, I’d let the dust settle for a few weeks before suggesting making it easier to get in here.

People need to actually chill out, that ain't healthy.

This is just like that time in Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back when Voldemort captures Han and Captain America gets his hand cut off. Things may look bad now, but I made enough pop culture references so I hope you're still able to pay attention to this post GAF. Stay safe and remember, WE PUNCH NAZIS  :dice
