VOAT Containment Megathread of Trash People for Trash People

[Momo]

they should adopt the GAF iconography and see what happens

They'll just sweep it under the rug and pretend it doesnt exist, like former neogaf pedorator Amir0x, permabanned like vicious troll benjii. Unsurprisingly, context is not afforded to anyone but self and introspection is a swear word on there.

[railGUN]

I wonder if the GAF members celebrating this weaponized DMCA shit realize that the exact same thing could be used to effectively shut down GAF (since EviLore is only in it for the $$$ and the site must have advertising to exist).

GAF violates copyright on a daily basis. Any of those content creators could file DMCA notices with Google Adsense. If Google gets enough of these, they will revoke GAF's Adsense account, and bye-bye site revenue, and bye-bye NeoGAF.

The kind of environment that gave rise to Eminem, South Park, "Shock jocks" and the like just doesn't really mesh with our current political climate. It's hard to examine it using a present-day lens when its roots are still grounded in an "offend everybody" apolitical late 90's edginess. The notion of offending people deliberately has taken on a more partisan divide the last five years or so, but to my knowledge notions of political correctness, respect for others (specifically those unlike yourself), and "going high when they go low" was not a stark blue/red divide in the first decade of the show's existence.

[Stro]

South Park wasn't even subversive  when it started. It was actually the opposite, following a the trend of everything from day time talk shows to pro wrestling in the late 90s. Perhaps if it had started when the original pilots were made, sure. But not by 1997. Maybe today that it still runs with a similar late 90s vibe 20 years later it's subversive in the sense that the show is grandfathered in because it's been CC's biggest show for two decades.

Still, their newest season will make fun of white nationalist. WOW HOW SUBVERSIVE TO MAKE FUN OF RACISTS. 

[Momo]

That's pretty weird, even neogaf (was) filled with kek up until recently or well when I was there, before getting permanently banned along with pedophile Amir0x.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I've never heard kek used in any other context than from the mouths of misogynists and white supremacists. How have you heard it used?

I walked into Remoulade on Bourbon Street tonight and thought of you fellas. A table full of gorgeous women, every shade from cafe au lait to deep mocha. All drunk, wearing scraps. I could feel your thirst all the way from here. Then I ate jambalaya and gumbo.

Black face is white people dressing themselves up to be black people. Just like how Yellowface is white people dressing themselves up as people of East Asian descent.
Just like how Red face is white people dressing themselves up as Indigenous people.

In the case of Uncharted, they dressed a white woman up to do all the mocap for a digital black woman. Getting a white woman to portray (poorly) a black South African woman is a bad look - getting her to be dressed in the digital black skin, as happens, is digital blackface.

It's not juvenile just because you disagree. This is my field, bro. I give talks on this at GDC, and write articles for spots like Kotaku. I am known for my expertise in this field.

And honestly, there is ZERO reason to get white people to play non-white people because of how opportunity, or lack thereof, manifests itself. If we ever get to a point where PARITY happens in OPPORTUNITY, then it will all be fine. For now, you're robbing black\brown\Asian\Indigenous\Southeast Asian\etc. folks of opportunity when you give over those roles to the MANY white actors out there.

If you want a white actor to play a black person, then make it a white person, and accept the L.

[Cindi Mayweather]

Boogie, this is what I wrote on my facebook and I want you to know I'm sorry for my strong views on the police in past years.

"This situation has really made me appreciate the police. I'm still cautious around them of course, but seeing them protect neighborhoods from strangers who would use the chaos of the flood to take advantage and harm people and their property gives me renewed understanding in our police system. It's not complete trust, but it is a sharp turn from outright disdain."



I feel safe. They have cornered all entrances and exits of the hood and you cannot get in with out giving them a specific address. God bless them. I want to give them a nice box of donuts. I should really do that.

Also it's dumb but I'll never get bored of the cognitive dissonance in the whole RE4/5 comparison. I get that for equally ridiculous and clumsy depictions, the one caricaturing Africa may be inherently more charged and hurtful but RE4 setting of "Spain" is really as stereotypical and off mark in all of the same ways. I am not offended by it (basically what if Innsmouth in a vaguely Spanish dressing) but it's amazing to see people shrugging it off with incredibly weak comebacks (they sound Mexicans anyway) while going berserk in the same breath with a Caucasian VA voicing a character in Uncharted or with Tom Clancy's jingoistic delirium.

[WaveRacer 64]

The 1 star "reviewers" who didn't read the book and came to troll? That's how it should always work. It's a shame Amazon only does quality control on its review system in high profile instances.

The word "shill" is being egregiously misused these days, btw. I remember back in 2007 when it used to mean something. Good old PS3/360 console war.

You could have checked the Amazon page to see it doesn't look normal.

I'm so glad this idiot has been exposed for the fucking imbecile he really is. I'm so damn glad we are over the 'but he gave to charity and he's actually a decent guy bullshit' that dominated the forums for a good bit.

If you can't see stupid in this guy, and along with stupid comes ignorance, conceit, et cetera, then you are not looking hard enough. It was ALWAYS there.

The fact that he gets away with this and has an audience of children is just mindblowing.

This guy knows nothing about the culture where this word erupted, nothing about the history of it, and is just some dumbshit from overseas that likes to be LOUD for his audience. Why was this ever respected? How can this be respected? Well it was on these forums for a while at least in part by an apologist section that to me was highly annoying and super defensive.

You don't see those folks anymore.

That Messo bait thread is already at 12 pages of vapid outrage... oh wait this one is a good:

I'm not sure what more I have to say about his Captain Hook ass built nose. It's just so funny that his nose is serving me samurai blade tease, but it couldn't cut through the bullshit that he's trying to serve us on these social media platforms. Pewdiepie has a history when it comes to being racist as hell and primary problematic and trash and not only that, he is the reason why YouTubers who made a living off of this shit have been having difficulty doing so recently because advertisers all of a sudden got scared to put ads on videos and it all stems to his ass being trash and a particular ad.

Like why the hell are our ads on his trash which has spawned racist problematic ass videos? Rita, we're cutting this shit. Pewdiepie is already a no no in my book. Okay, so if you turn to Chapter "You Tried It" page bitch you finna get dragged, you see a big-ass picture of Pewdiepie's beaver shaped head as in no matter how hard he tries to build a dam as I said, there's nothing that's going to stop this intense dragging that's coming his fucking way --- okay?

Pewdiepie loves to get his ass online and playing games and shit like that after he trashed his whole YouTube brand and got dropped by a whole bunch of motherfuckers he decided to switch platforms going to Twitch and keep doing that shit there. You know that shows no matter how trash and racist a white person can get they always have another option.and leave other people (pocs) in the dust.

So I'm scrolling on Twitter being gay as hell as it's known and like I'm doing right now and I'm scrolling and then I'm like Nipples, look at this and say "what's he got empty?" What more could he do because it's almost like you know chopping down all of the Amazon Forest. It's just like okay bruh what's left to be done? Like, you damaged everything you destroyed everything so what's the tea? Bruh, not only did he cut down all the trees in the Amazon Forest he decided to drop a nuclear bomb on that shit so the radiation will prevent anything from growing there ever. You thought that shit was bad before? Girl, listen to this shit now! He was just on Twitch playing motherfucking PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds shooting shit up "Oh shit I'm playing this game I lighting fuckers up" and then he gets a little bit frustrated, he got a bit, he got a bit frustrated from getting his shit rocked and says "oh fuck, oh fuck you fucking distinguished black fellow!" and I'm talking about that shit came out so naturally like he says this shit on a daily casual basis on a debt.

It's not even like he showed no goddamn "oh shit' and even if, even if that was the case still would've been trash. But got damn bitch the way it slips out of your mouth is like me saying bitch or sis or something like that. Or bruh or honey, see it just comes out. It's something natural that I do on a daily basis and ingrained in my personality so that's exactly telling about your naval ship shaped head ass. I'm talking your head is shaped like a fucking aircraft carrier okay, but carrying nothing but trash.

AND-HERE-COMES-PEOPLE-DEFENDING-RACIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTS!


Here comes people defending racists here and on other internet outlets. People defending this racist bitch talking about "it's just a word. A word is still a word even if it's a distinguished black fellow". Bitch, a chair is still a chair type thing. It really makes no sense y'all out here defending a word is just a word because from your position of privilege and whiteness because it doesn't hold the same connotation as it does for my black ass, okay? It was shouted when black people were being lynched and still being shouted today. I mean I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you or almost anyone the word is offensive. Y'all hoes are something else.

At 9/11 every year y'all are like "Oh we shouldn't forget this", but when it comes to the institution of slavery y'all telling us to forget about it, but y'all can't forget about 9/11. What's the tea? If you use the logic of one thing you should use the logic of the other. Not only that, but when y'all saw black people running around reclaiming the word and saying nicca and shit and greeting each other like "what's up my nicca?", y'all went in on the motherfucking cake. Y'all saw it as a prize to have because anything that's not centered around whiteness has to be eradicated.

Y'all pick and choose whatever narrative suits y'all Elmer's Glue build asses and yet I can't get any logic to stick to your ass.

If the first thing that comes out of your mouth when you get frustrated is a slur then you have shit to reevaluate honey. I don't know if my ass can get up and here get frustrated and say "distinguished black fellow!"

I'm not sure what I can say to PewDiePie other than to get his Black & Deck shaped head ass out of gamers got damn line-of-sight cuz every time I see it I'm going to drag it.

The institutionalization thing reminded me that Anders Breivik had an Xbox 360 in his cell and was initially allowed internet access too. So I was winding up for a classic off the cuff benji "ROFLMAO HE DIDN'T" joke. But that's Norway. Not Sweden, they're completely different.

And he lost his internet in 2013, but he's apparently enrolled via distance learning at the University of Oslo for a bachelor's degree.

It seems pewdiepie lives in the UK anyway. Brighton. So he'd probably setup in the Ecuadorian embassy steaming out to his mindless hordes like the last pure evil villain trying to avoid Swedish and global justice.

That whole thread is an absolute dumpster fire.

So, this topic seems to have generally devolved into mockery of anyone with even a bit of skepticism. I know my first "2015" comment has gotten several snarky replies pages after I explained myself.

Look at it this way: The company accused of including something inappropriate put out a single blog post saying it's not what you think it it is, they came up with it beforehand, and they're taking it out anyway. If all those things are true, great. But to act like it isn't even conceivable that a company might fudge the truth to limit their exposure to danger? This wouldn't even be the first time Bungie did it, Marty O’Donnell is a rather infamous case of that. It's just reality: Corporations are not your friend.

Now: Do I think Bungie intentionally included it? Not as such. They already stated they found it, but associated it with "kek". Do I think Bungie are secret racists? Of fucking course not. Do I think they're protecting someone? No, if someone intentionally referenced a symbol of hate, their ass is probably quietly getting fired, and every single asset they touched is being scoured over with a fine-toothed comb. Do I think someone did it intentionally? Of course I don't have psychic powers to know for sure, but I think that in a company as big as Bungie there's probably one or more GamerGate POS kicking around. It just looks too close to me to be coincidental, especially with other pics seeming to include "KEKI" (or "IKEKI"). Do I leave room for the possibility my suspicion is wrong? Yep! But that doesn't automatically mean it is. They wouldn't be celebrated for outting a racist or shitty person in their ranks like some people seem to think. And they'd probably get sued by that person too. Do I know "kek" existed beforehand? Yes. Alt-Right adopt innocent memes specifically so it's harder to call them out on it, and to instill fear into those who think "Antifa" will punch them in the face for the wrong emoji. A lot of these things start off as jokes within their communities anyway. Hell, their most identifiable symbol is a cartoon frog best known for pulling his pants down to pee because it "Feels good, man". Someone in the prior thread linked a great video on this:

but for realz, that's a great video.  It includes such valuable information as the following.

Did you know attacking migrants with dark skin color is racist?

Did you know calling yourself ethnocentric means you advocate for white power? 

Did you know purging immigrants, migrants, and minorities and LGBTQ's from the nation is wrong?

It opened my eyes.

I haven't really been thinking too much about the GAF/Social Studies Warriors jihad against Kek and PewDiePie and everything labeled Nazi other than clicking a link on here and seeing the latest stupid stuff in one of those threads. But I guess I have had it in the back of my mind to where I found this video really fascinating. You have the GAF reactions and some literally insane unhinged "solutions" to anything they can fit into their enemies list. And then often backfill in the racism and Nazism or whatever. Often all based off of like a single tweet or a flag in a video game or whatever.

Meanwhile back in 1965, the CBC (CANADA!!!!) invites on a literal Nazi who praises Hitler (and may be the only person to ever admit to being convinced by Mein Kampf) to look kinda bitchin smoking a fucking corn cob pipe while they casually chat about what order the blacks and Jews and so on should be exterminated and how the Holocaust never happened:


And no, don't read the comments. Yes, I, benjipwns, am telling you to not read the comments.

But seriously, look at this fucker:


Now we've got Richard Spencer and Boogie2988 and JonTron and Bernie Sanders? Fucking millenials man. Soft bigotry of low expectations yet again.

[benjipwns]

He mentions Elijah Muhammad and apparently they actually did become good friends. Because they agreed that blacks and whites should be separated due to being racially incompatible. 

Yet the Social Studies Warriors on GAF would condemn such coming together and peaceful cooperation.

If you think about it, we really should eradicate all frog species from the planet. Alt-Right can't use them if they don't exist
