The state of NeoGAF

Status
Not open for further replies.
Well, tell us.


Nah junior. The community was amazing at some point.
He called Evilore out on quadrupling down on attacking the character of the 'ex' (mental issues, she's a crazy bitch etc) and basically not even taking a moment to take account of his own actions and consider if he was in anyway untoward.

It's nothing which hasn't been brought up in this thread but I'm still glad to hear it from the guys on GB.

The allegations as they stand might be murky but admin has shown a lot of his true character these past few days and a lot of people are noticing it now
 
I keep reading about the peado mod in jail but what about the one who has his bond set at 100k? What's his story?

I for one believe that GAF should be a safe harbor for all peadophiles and if all the people like Tyler "Hard Ass Grab" Malka want to join him here too then I for one welcome our new sex offender overlords.
 
I love the janky photoshopped together "ironclad" piece of evidence that keeps getting posted over and over. Maybe they will print it out and safeguard it so they can hand it to the judge in court. :rolleyes:
 
Fitting the bill? Fitting what bill?

I'll continue to call it like I see it: you are and were the problem.

Not the only problem, but a major problem. You attack -anyone- who disagrees with you with things like that: your "fitting the bill" is code for calling me a racist / sexist/ nazi / or whatever, even though -nothing- I've said is any such thing. Even though I've spent the majority of my life fighting such things.

My only crime is I disagree with you. So I must be the worst. I must be scum. And you will paint me as such. That's low. You're low.

And all the posts here - doing the same thing. 'Oh, look at all the [insults] coming out of the woodwork' and claiming oppression...

Well, yeah. This forum was protected by a shield of people like you that shouted down any opposing viewpoint with harsh slurs. Who wants to be accused of being something they're not? So most people stayed quiet. They weren't alt-rights hiding, waiting for something [I'm sure a couple were]... but in general, people just did not feel safe speaking their mind.

You are part of a culture of fear. Fear of speaking. Fear of putting forth one's own opinion because they might get piled on as being a [whatever]. People can't even use common phrases, for fear they're taboo... 'free speech', in this case. Use the wrong phrase, get lumped in with Nazis. So people stay silent.

And now, yes, the shields are down. So people -are- speaking their mind. And because you're so used to painting anyone you didn't agree with as the worst of the worst, you suddenly think you're surrounded by the worst of the worst.

No. You're just exposed. You're just the emperor with no clothes. You think you are wearing the shining outfit of progressive thought, and you used it to paint everyone else as degenerates. But you were just naked, and low. "Then stop fitting the bill" my ass. You try to silence through accusation, thinking you're the higher ground when you can barely breath through the muck.

Don't get me wrong - I believe in many of the same things as you. I believe we always need to work towards a better world. I think many people are ignorant, and a surprising number of people entertain quite vile ideas. But where we differ is I don't assume anyone that disagrees with me must be one of those people, and I certainly don't accuse people of it on the drop of a dime. If someone asks me a question, I answer and try to educate [even if it's the tenth time I'm asked] instead of shaming them.

I know this won't stick, today. But maybe, someday... something in here will make it past your ideological shield and you'll realize I'm on your side. I'm trying to help you understand that we grow through discussion, not silence. I'm not saying we should have the scum of the earth here - we agree on that. But the issue is your brush is far too broad. Vile people exist. And they should certainly be dealt with - I'm perfectly fine with giving no quarter for abusive behavior. But that's not what was happening here [and your 'stop fitting the bill' comment is a perfect example of that].
On point.
 
Hey Tyler,
I still remember when I first showed you the MGS4 OT almost 10 years ago and how excited we were to put it together. Staying up late into the night just trying to figure out if we could even fit the whole thing and then the insanity of the next morning when we posted it. It was a moment that I think defined how you always saw this place and why it was so beloved by its members. It makes me sad to think how different things are now. I truly hope that the site is able to go back to its roots, that something can be gained from everything that has transpired but I know it will do so without me being a part of it. I will always miss it and to all the members staying I wish you guys the best of luck. Thanks for giving me a creative outlet and a safe haven when we all needed it.

Bruceleeroy Out
Mods or Mod please give me a viking funeral
The permanent kind

Oh man :/
 
Even if you solely take her side of the story:

Two friendly people of the opposite sex get wasted drunk and share a hotel room together. Hammered enough for one of them to feel sick. She as a boyfriend but she's in an open relationship. She leaves the door to the shower cracked open. The drunk dude misreads it as an invite/signal and tries to join her. Gets denied. Isn't that about the extent of the "sexual assault?" Embarrassing for sure, and poor judgement by someone who was shift-faced. But she said "no," and he accepted the "no" and he left.

If the Vice article on the situation is accurate, they continued to be friends. They even had consensual sex AFTER the "incident." That leads me to speculate that they were probably flirty with each other at the time, and she didn't find the original situation nearly as outrageous as the torch & pitchfork internet crowd -- who wasn't there. And she apparently never intended to publicize that situation, but then obviously did years after the fact. Not trying to victim blame, but I'm sorting this info out and am rather surprised at the reaction this is getting.

As if all the outraged people here who are intentionally getting banned would really seem so majestic if their private lives were as scrutinized as his.
Yeah, a lot of the members who left seem to forget that sexual relations are complicated and sometimes it can get awkward when you misjudge a situation.
 
Even those who judge need some form of understanding, but yeah... seeing people go against one person like a pack wasn't good imo and they would turn on each other if it fit their agenda

What is the context?

If someone equates BLM to Donald Trump, that is a dumb opinion. It's ignorant and likely from a place of hate.

And I use that example because someone did that today.
 
Whoever is in charge, please restore the OT side. Crippling the site is fucking daft. If you can't handle the moderation load from two sides them temp some mods in to cover it. This is not the way. You cannot restore normality by only half.
 
You keep parroting this idea that disagreeing with someone lead to ostracizing or bans.

YOU WERE NEVER BANNED FOR DISAGREEING WITH SOMEONE ON AN ISSUE.

You were banned for poorly wording your position and it came off as toxic. That's it. Y'all just couldn't articulate well enough where what you said didn't express toxicity directly indirectly or directly. You guys remove any and all context for why the bans took place and cover it with a blanket, "they ban you for disagreeing" when that's not even true. You do this to reinforce that you yourself are a victim of injustice so you can go on with a clean slate.

He is completely right though.
 
BruceLeeRoy, if you're reading this, the MGS4 OT to this day is still the greatest goddamn official thread for anything on the entire world wide web.

I honestly don't understand if he's really that pathetic or he's just making some good satire.
 
And you know that how?

Look at my god damn post history.

He is completely right though.

No he's not. You're better than this.

You were never banned for disagreeing with someone. You were banned if you went in and went, "lol no" and peaced out in sensitive topics because that was a shit post.

Articulate yourself without being demeaning, toxic, racist, misogynistic, or perpetuating hate and you'll be fine. Lotta y'all couldn't do that. Why? 'Cause almost always your positions were inherently that. Some of y'all couldn't handle your ideas weren't just benign opinions but helped fuel and cause damage.
 
My problem was more the whole. 'Fuck Donald Trump I hope he dies soon " or "Fuck all the police", that would pollute discussion with zero contribution. Character assassination etc. was often in poor taste and was not discouraged but fed. The double standards people exhibited when they abused someone in a comment, versus when someone would make a similar tweet of post outside their circle, was shameful. Feeds into the narrative that people are only progressive when it does not affect them. The whole "I only like free speech when it's mine" etc. Of course Nazis should be condemned etc. but nuance was severely lacking in certain threads. The witch-hunts were awful as well and the harm done to the accused sometimes was proportionally vastly more harmful than the "crime"( not saying this is the case here).

Always take the position that you are some degree wrong guys.

With that said, the OT was still a bastion on the internet and it is sad to see it go.

He is completely right though.

I was banned for pointing out that if you condone punching people just because they express fascist beliefs then you can't be surprised that fascists get away with punching lefties when they get the chance.

I was also threatened with a ban for asking a user whether or not their belief in exterminating fascists extended to the removal of Saddam Hussain.
 
Whoever is in charge, please restore the OT side. Crippling the site is fucking daft. If you can't handle the moderation load from two sides them temp some mods in to cover it. This is not the way. You cannot restore normality by only half.

I'm thinking once the purge is over we'll see things go back to mostly normal.
 
The state of GAF, is that there is no GAF anymore. It was more than a name and a logo. It was the community. And now we can see how it's going to be moving forward. It's the base that's left. Might as well go full heel, and embrace the crazy. Left and right, you have people showing their ass and exposing who they really are deep down. Juniors with Trump avatars. I mean that's fine. It's their board now. It's the support GAF is going to get going forward and IMO, they would do well to foster that. It's what is going to pay these bills. But GAF is gone.
 
I hope this follows you around and you die a sad, lonely man after a short miserable life. I really don't have to hope hard though since I am positive it is inevitable.

I hope more people come forward soon with their interactions with you.

Your daily reminder that pretty much every man in any kind of power position is a rapist (or future rapist)

All his lackeys that support him can also go die.

I will literally pay someone to burn this site to the ground.

And in case you need a refresher...

Guess I need to post this again since there are some people who seem to have already forgotten after 2 page. Wow, how the mind slips!

"Allegedly"

Opening admitting to sexually assaulting someone(then banning anyone who called him out for it)
1508785001663-WgTMVEd.jpeg


Posting revenge porn with their real full names then another admin(a now jailed pedophile) printed the photos and jacked off over them and sent it to the boyfriend.

You're right, how can we even know if he's guilty or not? HMMMM

Also:
6B7C1lb.jpg

This would be funny, if it wasn't so fucking pathetic.

You've shown your character before. The ass grabbing incident. The revenge porn incident. And now this. Sprinkle in all your sexist drivel here and there, the picture paints itself.

Tyler Malka is a sexual predator.

And anybody that chooses to remain here under this chauvinistic shitsmear is complicit.

"I just wanna talk about video games" isn't an excuse. This forum has lambasted and torn apart plenty of people for much less than this. This forum takes great pride in it's holier-than-thouness for being such a paragon of justice and righteousness. This forum is an echo chamber, and always has been.

That's why Malka was able to get away with this for so long, even though it was known long before this what kind of person he is.

Do the right thing and leave. Don't give this cretin a platform. Don't give him an income. Don't give him the opportunity to hide behind his users and his moderators again, as he's done before. Have some principle, have some decency, and hang him out to dry.

One more time before I leave, and am likely banned...

Tyler Malka is a sexual predator.

iapetus was demodded and publicly humiliated because he said he didn't agree with violence. nice way to treat someone thats been moderating this place for a decade.
 
That's a different story but these arguments of "I can speak freely now" aren't directed there. It's subtle jabs at people being put on blast for saying racist, misogynistic, bigoted, or prejudiced shit. To them this isn't about Evilore but to get back at them damn SJWs ruining mah video games.



Whose agenda? What agenda? The agenda of holding people accountable for their terrible actions and views?

I'm sorry, that's what decent people do.

Every view has an idea behind it than one will disagree and another will agree to. Each person also sees their way as right.

Doesn't even matter what I think on any of it.
 
I remember when Voaters used to posts those images. Now it's the same people who cried about them. Oh man, the universe is filled with irony.
I said yesterday that it was becoming difficult to distinguish between voat users and people who started hating the place a few days ago. It will be great when this nonsense subsides. It is becoming super obvious that non-voat coordination is occurring as "ban me" attention whore posts come in waves of three.

I'll check back in a little while to see if there is an actual forum left. Right now it is looking like two different camps of people, neither of which is going to sustain the information flow that previously existed on this gaming forum. The other bout of irony is when the users dancing on the grave here become the target at their dramatically less popular new home. Same shit, different shovel. The same mistakes will be made, and the same problems will erupt. The discord is already a gigantic shitshow of the same pettiness and condescension that gradually doomed this place. I guess it takes a while, but every Dyack has his day.
 
I hope this follows you around and you die a sad, lonely man after a short miserable life. I really don't have to hope hard though since I am positive it is inevitable.

And in case you need a refresher...
These are the type of people I am talking about. If Evilore is not a sociopath, which I do not think he is. Than this is extremely hateful and as hurtful. "I hope you die" really? Bully.
 
Evilore just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about sexual harassment culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in NeoGaf where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in real life, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the NeoGaf public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to contribute ad revenue, nor will they read any of Evilore's posts. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Evilore has alienated an entire market with this move.

Evilore, publicly apologize and restore OT or you can kiss your business goodbye.
 
Listen.

If people were banned for having opinions that were different, Subpar would have been banned into some sort of pocket universe.
 
But Netflix thread :(

Black culture thread :(

Dating thread:(

Half the members here only posted in off topic. Please don't rid of all those good threads Evilore :(

Holy shit. Off-Topic is nuked?

I can't believe this. That IS GAF for me. :(

edit: ok, it's temporary?

I miss the Community OT, I wish they keeped that at least.

I used to post in a really small niche OT where there was almost no drama and was like an oasis in comparison with more active threads. I hope this and many other OT's don't die and are back once the Community OT returns some day.
BTW, the OT was the 5th Anniversary K-ON! Community |OT 5| Please don't say "You Are lazy" (Thread id: 965603)

Doesn't surprise me. Some of the users were openly racist, but because it was white people they wanted to remove the vote from they got away with it. Madness. Jews were usually fair game in OT too.

Slayven and that little Hillary politburo in OT were the worst. Anyone who wasn't one of them was a nazi. Wonder if it'll ever dawn on them that some people are further to the left than they are.

No. You're just exposed. You're just the emperor with no clothes. You think you are wearing the shining outfit of progressive thought, and you used it to paint everyone else as degenerates. But you were just naked, and low. "Then stop fitting the bill" my ass. You try to silence through accusation, thinking you're the higher ground when you can barely breath through the muck.

Don't get me wrong - I believe in many of the same things as you. I believe we always need to work towards a better world. I think many people are ignorant, and a surprising number of people entertain quite vile ideas. But where we differ is I don't assume anyone that disagrees with me must be one of those people, and I certainly don't accuse people of it on the drop of a dime. If someone asks me a question, I answer and try to educate [even if it's the tenth time I'm asked] instead of shaming them.

I know this won't stick, today. But maybe, someday... something in here will make it past your ideological shield and you'll realize I'm on your side. I'm trying to help you understand that we grow through discussion, not silence. I'm not saying we should have the scum of the earth here - we agree on that. But the issue is your brush is far too broad. Vile people exist. And they should certainly be dealt with - I'm perfectly fine with giving no quarter for abusive behavior. But that's not what was happening here [and your 'stop fitting the bill' comment is a perfect example of that].

A+ post
 
Uhhh maybe it's just me. It hasn't been posted yet has it?
The live cast is on ATM.

I'm not good at summarising things but this is the essence of it

He called Evilore out on quadrupling down on attacking the character of the 'ex' (mental issues, she's a crazy bitch etc) and basically not even taking a moment to take account of his own actions and consider if he was in anyway untoward.

It's nothing which hasn't been brought up in this thread but I'm still glad to hear it from the guys on GB.

The allegations as they stand might be murky but admin has shown a lot of his true character these past few days and a lot of people are noticing it now
 
Hey Tyler,
I still remember when I first showed you the MGS4 OT almost 10 years ago and how excited we were to put it together. Staying up late into the night just trying to figure out if we could even fit the whole thing and then the insanity of the next morning when we posted it. It was a moment that I think defined how you always saw this place and why it was so beloved by its members. It makes me sad to think how different things are now. I truly hope that the site is able to go back to its roots, that something can be gained from everything that has transpired but I know it will do so without me being a part of it. I will always miss it and to all the members staying I wish you guys the best of luck. Thanks for giving me a creative outlet and a safe haven when we all needed it.

The permanent kind

I saw lots of these on gametrailers forums well before this. There's nothing that special about it. Sorry.
 
What is the context?

If someone equates BLM to Donald Trump, that is a dumb opinion. It's ignorant and likely from a place of hate.

And I use that example because someone did that today.

I have always, and I will always say that people are a product of their environment. Under this context I choose to understand it and say I can treat them nicely at least, even if I do not like who they are or what they are.
 
I hope this follows you around and you die a sad, lonely man after a short miserable life. I really don't have to hope hard though since I am positive it is inevitable.

I hope more people come forward soon with their interactions with you.

Your daily reminder that pretty much every man in any kind of power position is a rapist (or future rapist)

All his lackeys that support him can also go die.

I will literally pay someone to burn this site to the ground.

And in case you need a refresher...
Give the left a bad name. You will never convince anyone.
 
Fitting the bill? Fitting what bill?

I'll continue to call it like I see it: you are and were the problem.

Not the only problem, but a major problem. You attack -anyone- who disagrees with you with things like that: your "fitting the bill" is code for calling me a racist / sexist/ nazi / or whatever, even though -nothing- I've said is any such thing. Even though I've spent the majority of my life fighting such things.

My only crime is I disagree with you. So I must be the worst. I must be scum. And you will paint me as such. That's low. You're low.

And all the posts here - doing the same thing. 'Oh, look at all the [insults] coming out of the woodwork' and claiming oppression...

Well, yeah. This forum was protected by a shield of people like you that shouted down any opposing viewpoint with harsh slurs. Who wants to be accused of being something they're not? So most people stayed quiet. They weren't alt-rights hiding, waiting for something [I'm sure a couple were]... but in general, people just did not feel safe speaking their mind.

You are part of a culture of fear. Fear of speaking. Fear of putting forth one's own opinion because they might get piled on as being a [whatever]. People can't even use common phrases, for fear they're taboo... 'free speech', in this case. Use the wrong phrase, get lumped in with Nazis. So people stay silent.

Man, this forum is better already.
