How about Amirox? He's only been accused, not convicted. Should he get his account back? Innocent until proven guilty after all.

Resetera should register as a 501c3, get a board of directors, and move any above the line profits to charity work aided in part by the massive and engaged community, who can help donate during fundraising drives for various causes.

Can't fault the intention but that's pretty wide eyed.

Hi guys is Mario offensive to Italians

Also are white rabbits portrayals of lazy black people

 


https://www.resetera.com/threads/mario-odyssey-and-its-racial-proliferation-of-the-italian-american-and-mexican-nationalities.1763/

Now on the Resettera

I thought this forum was supposed to be more open to people discussing actual issues that are arisened by video games and such, instead, I am labelled a troll and a joke because I was offended? Sorry I was offended by these crude stereotypes, and wanted to have a civil discussion about it and discussing the effects it has on people who are italian (like myself) and southern (like myself)

 

[benjipwns]

Agreed—and exactly the kind of thread that they'd be elated to see pop up here so they can take a cherry-picked screenshot and shop it around as an attack. (Didn't open registrations start today?) I'm not accusing the OP of being a troll or saying the concerns are disingenuous, and pointing fingers at others as false flags or what have you isn't conducive to actually addressing the argument, but I do think we need to be open about calling out this kind of thing as silly, and frankly, a more roughshod act of appropriation than what it describes. Because the export of Americentric political considerations to every damned thing produced by every damned country, without much of a worldly cultural literacy in how differently these things are treated and perceived elsewhere, is kind of an embarrassing sight, and there is too much of it on the Internet already.

Let's have a sense of proportion here.

End of ps2/beginning of ps3 years were a fun time on gaf. It never reached those heights again. PS4/XB1 launch was so vanilla and lame, but i guess the bigger problem was how little I gave a shit. The forum members were just less interesting too though.

I haven’t been disappointed in the replies, though: by and large everybody seems to be on the same page. Just a shame that the OP will continue to make rounds on the internet as a showing of “GAF 2.0 they haven’t learned” memery.

[headwalk]

recettear has been both dull and intriguing for the same reason so far: people are trying to make it work.

no-one gave a toss if GAF "worked", it was trench warfare. volley after volley of shellfire with whoever had the biggest guns and deepest trenches coming out on top in an utterly pyrrhic victory which shed the partisans of any humanity. you can blame the mod policy or whatever but the main driving force of its hysterical awfulness was that victory in whatever shitfight you were involved in should come at any cost.

with this new place, everyone seems invested in trying to build a semi-functional micro society and lo and behold their militant posturing on everything from bathroom politics to multi-platform pixel counts has been massively toned down. the greater cause has supplanted whatever secondary cause that previously erupted into all out war on a minute by minute basis.

the real test will be when the forum's existence is taken for granted, when it's no longer a cause that needs protecting and the good will tank is empty. will the standards of empathy and moderation which ensure its early survival remain intrinsic to the board itself, or will the modern disease of hyper polarity reinfect the patient following a full body transplant?

until then at least, this thread will be feeding on scraps. maybe a good time to explore the rest of the forum.

i love the gaf sony elites. "walking simulator" is about every single game Sony puts out now. I barely consider them games. I'd love nothing more than Sony to get what it deserves just like the Gaf did.

[railGUN]

I lurked gaf for years before I gained access to a paid email to register, finally getting my account approved after a six month wait was one of the happiest days of my life. I still value the memories of the threads I read here, and what this community meant then, and still means, to me. GAF was always the lone light that shone in the darkness, the rest of the internet is so toxic and filled with hate that it was nice to have a sanctuary away from that while it lasted.

I'm not interested in registering on any forums that give an equal platform to GG's, nor am I interested in the antics of white supremacist trolls (and true believers). The alternative that many seem to be jumping ship to seems to be doing fine, but the sickening way that many of their members departed this place by spamming pornography and hateful memes has made me question whether I could ever be part of such a community. Still, I wish them well.


I'm staying for now. The coming days will tell what this new incarnation of GAF has become. If this is now a safe space for the alt-right, a place where the politics of the bigoted orange fascist can't be discussed, nor the rising tide of far right nazism around the world, then I will have truly lost my home and will be broken hearted. This has been one of the worst years I can remember, for so many reasons.

Dude has to be a troll.

Okay need to be real here for a second.

Malka has to be completely insane to take himself down for a god damn gaming website. No amount of ad money is worth this deep level of character assassination that will inevitably fuck up your life.  (at this point, what money left is there to salvage at this point?)

Spoiler Tyler, GAF is dead. The safe haven where progressive snowflakes dance around rainbows and sing kumbaya is no more.

Go to your forum, release a statement that you fucked up and will work to become a better person, then demonstrate that by selling off the website.

I think it’s cute how they pretty much just took everything from GAF including that stupid content policy. I don’t think they actually thought about any of this. It’s like people who trace a drawing and learn from it vs people who trace a drawing and never even think about how the original artist did it.

GAF was never left-wing, it was actually quite conservative in most respects. Hillary was a right wing candidate, being left of Trump doesn't change that fact.

No the kart game isn't better than Mario Kart 

And crash was always shit. First person I ever heard say otherwise uttered that nonsense 2016. Can't have Sony fans go messing up history and create time paradoxes.
