I was *just* about to ask how many people clicked through to read what she had said.

This is a place for people who care about video games, the gaming industry, gaming news and sales trends and, yes, concerning developments as described in the OP that can have a real impact on people who use MS platforms for gaming and potentially contribute to an anti-consumer shift in status quo industry-wide if left unchallenged (several other recent examples like the Overwatch announcement). So it's here being discussed and challenged as it should be. A NeoGAF grassroots campaign got Sony to ditch the PS4 DRM, among many other instances where speaking out about industry concerns here has influenced outcomes, so besides being the point of this place there's obvious value to adding your voice in earnest rather than acting too cool for school and feeling the need to let everyone know it. Don't care about a topic: don't post in it. Thanks.
The other day I was in the airport on my way to Thailand and the TSA agent was really grilling me about what I was doing with a suitcase full of candy. I says to him, I says, "Hey, whats with all these questions? Do I look like amir0x to you?" He then pulled out a mugshot of amir0x that was in his drawer and held it up next to my face, furrowed his brow and said, "No, I guess not. You're free to go, Mr. Fish."
Answer me, bitch.

You should not participate nor even bother addressing me if you're going to say something like that, which is an attack on my family. If you don't have the maturity to act like an adult when responding, then don't bother to respond at all. You are part of the problem of the mess we are in as a country. I am pretty sure it is also against the rules to levy attacks on a poster like that, because yes, attacking my family is an attack on me.
For the most part why I couldnt get into FE Warriors much. The old FEs take a shit on these waifu Emblems.
Did Sony ever announce any DRM for the PS4 or was it just dumb gaf members thinking it would have it and throwing a crying fit, then acting like they won when it didn't?
Bold strategy, but his mistake was thinking the mods see Trump voters as human beings.
The alt-right latched onto black panther. I'm not going to concern myself with the things they latch onto. I'm going to concern myself with the subject matter, and in this case, I think the subject matter is important and balanced. That's my opinion as a strong liberal, who has seen families fall out over politics. I think a show *about that* is probably a positive thing for right now. The Connors are the sort of people who flipped from Obama to Trump. We need to flip those people back if possible.Maybe I'm naïve to think Dan and Roseanne Connor are voters that can be won back, but I don't think we can afford to demonize everyone who voted Trump. His base? Fuck them. But people who voted for him but aren't in his base? I don't think they're a lost cause.

We're not robots and no one's expected to be here, just...mm, it bears considering sometimes what your goals are in a given debate: winning, dominating, exposing and humiliating the other party, potentially driving them away and fostering negativity all around, for ego points and cheers from the crowd and catharsis?
When I say young adults, I'm mentioning 18-22 years old. Suffice to say, I'm nearing my mid twenties.After that, things started to come together in my head. It seems like internet passive-aggressiveness has leached into everyday interaction for these folks.Based on the conversations that I've listened to and partaken in, I can't exactly tell if they're insulting each other when they speak, or if they're having fun. Every instance of conversation seems like an attempt to out-edge each other, making me realize how unpleasant speaking to them is.
Reee continues the GAF tradition with that "how do you wipe your ass?" thread.

My policies always discouraged moderating like that and explicitly protected dissenting voices in pile-ons, but when it becomes second nature on a community level to dehumanize anyone at-will and label them a secret alt-right asshole no matter what they're actually saying as soon as they deviate from the Correct Position, welp, a whole lot of "secret disingenuous alt-right assholes" got the boot on those grounds, regrettably. Helps if somewhere in there a saboteur secretly bans almost all the moderate voices in the community who had been trying to make appeals to reason and calm (similar to my own...) within the emerging shitstorm, but I digress. Lessons to learn there all around, not just applied to NeoGAF but looking at NeoGAF as a microcosm of a lot of the emerging status quo on the internet at large and how much this stuff can completely undermine anything we allow it to.
QuoteI'll transcribe a choice excerpt or two below since the OP doesn't provide much as to the contents of the 80+ minute conversation. It's worth a full watch/listen though.

The first is, they start to silence good debate; either silence it or shut it down or whatever. The second thing they do is redefine language so that it's very hard to have a debate. So, diversity -- actually, I mean, there's no other way to put it -- in this country it's coming to mean a stifling conformity you dare not deviate from the line. And you see it with a whole lot of other words that have bandied around -- equality being one of them -- because it's confused. Equality of opportunity is confused with equality of outcome."(skipping forward a bit) (timecode) JP: "I think the group identity game ends in blood. Doesn't matter who plays it. Left-wingers play it: blood. Right-wingers play it: blood. And lots of it, not just a little bit. You can't play the identity politics game. Well, so what do you do instead? You live the mythologically heroic life, as an individual. That's the right place to work. And that's the message of the West as far as I'm concerned, is that we figured that out. We figured that the collective identity is not the pinnacle statement. Not that collective identities have no value; obviously, family has value and your organizations have value and all of that. That's not the issue. The issue is: what's the paramount value? What's the metric by which people should be measured? And the answer is: they should be measured as individuals, as if they have a divine soul. They should be measured in that manner."JA: "But it can't be a selfish thing. That is to say: if I have worth and dignity I'm obliged to recognize it-- and so to you."JP: "I think you can't recognize that you have worth and dignity without also recognizing it in others. And vice versa; I don't think I can recognize the worth of another person without stumbling onto the idea that I also have to recognize that for myself. When did you think, "well, everyone would want that," but people don't, because you're also charged with the responsibility of your own care, as if you matter. Well, that's a big responsibility!

There's a couple of things implicit in that that seem to be incredibly important. So, I may disagree with you, but you have dignity and standing and worth, and a right to put your view.

First it was supposed to be in service of surface-benign enough concepts like self-awareness of how your privileges in society differ from the next person's and mindfulness about it in conversation. The problem there of course is that we're on an internet message board where most of us can remain totally anonymous or create whatever persona we choose at any given moment, and it's inherently prejudicial/disrespectful/dehumanizing/inappropriate when those value judgments about apparent privilege are used aggressively on others based on your preconceived notions about them from whatever they're choosing to make known about themselves on a message board (e.g. my avatar of what must surely be an oblivious Oppressor whose disgusting tier 1 privilege must have done all the legwork in life somehow and demands scorn and dismissal by default, as per the unsettling norms for how I was engaged with here throughout 2017). After so many run-ins with people content to play completely made up characters instead of an accurate representation of themselves when on the internet throughout my youth, I find it plenty rational to just think of other people on the internet as amorphous blobs who can use keyboards by default, with the goal being seeing the content of the message before any other consideration about the persona being put forth and not the other way around. So many people lie whenever it's expedient, but exponentially more so in a consequence-free environment for it like an anonymous message board. The environment is inherently conducive to it if we allow it to be instead of leveraging the format's strengths instead. When anyone's afforded "privilege tiers" that begin to matter more than the content of their statements in debate we're already losing much of our value as a discussion platform, I'd argue, and from there it's a quick vaseline-smothered trip to the bottom of the slippery slope that we certainly slathered up head to toe for. Down at the the bottom, that privilege/oppression hierarchy masquerading as mindfulness and empathy replaces debate altogether, and authoritarian "Correct Positions" on any given subject come to be determined by a small subset of vocal users and/or moderators and enforced by piling on and running dissent off the grounds by angry mobs or trying to prompt moderator intervention, and of course always dismissing dissenting voice as disingenuous or alt-right or failing to check privilege or not appearing sufficiently qualified for the Oppression Olympics to be allowed a voice, etc. etc. etc. It's all at odds with affording a baseline of respect and dignity to each other that absolutely needs to be there to get us to any productive outcomes.The final nail in meaningful discourse's coffin becomes moderation's eventual full complicity with this by coming to fear those dominant tone-setting personalities' apparent protected status (or bringing them on to moderate, welp...), and unfortunately default behavior gravitates from there toward silencing dissenting voices regardless of the content or validity of what's being put forward as long as its existence dares trigger an angry pile-on against it that the author's not necessarily culpable for. The users become aware of how those pile-ons can lead to dissenting voices being banned if the pile-on is angry and sensationalist enough and then strive to be as angry as they can to help prompt the ban they're aiming for.It's a weakness of a straightforward linear posting environment, but not an insurmountable one. My policies always discouraged moderating like that and explicitly protected dissenting voices in pile-ons, but when it becomes second nature on a community level to dehumanize anyone at-will and label them a secret alt-right asshole no matter what they're actually saying as soon as they deviate from the Correct Position, welp, a whole lot of "secret disingenuous alt-right assholes" got the boot on those grounds, regrettably.

I love how he constructs this elaborate psychological breakdown of what happened to his forum, as if it was anything more than "A group of imbeciles created a bubble of strong-arm groupthink for years.

Lore was too busy working on the site to notice hundreds of his favorite posters getting banned over the course of a few months, and so Neogaf imploded because of the secret actions of a few rogue moderators he wrongly trusted. But I digress
