Pretty much. He was the moderator who made the post, heavily insulting every single Trump voter (and thus millions of Americans), which I pointed out which directly lead to my ban.
RastaMentality made blanket statements yesterday and when I pointed to my posts from earlier (again), he conveniently ignored it (again). So him being a fan doesn't even surprise me anymore.

I mean they still gotta prove it, but I'm excited to see what they do. I hope this board becomes more open instead of the far left echo chamber it became.

Here's my two cents.
I joined Neogaf in 2006. It was a pretty good forum. Breaking leaks, high activity, people who you could discuss even the most niche of videogames with. Plenty of funny stories and banter in OT too. There was always a "progressive" undertone and that was fine, it was nice not to have all the immature shit. We had a wide range of people all with different beliefs and plenty of debate but it was for the most part respectful and seeing all these diverse opinions really created great discussion.
However the past few years, really the past 3-5 at a guess something happened. You jumped on board the SJW crazy train. It started slowly at first, a few bans here and there for some people, bans for people really going against the popular opinion who wouldn't back down from defending their own opinion. The crazy train picked up speed though, it got worse and worse every year. Which leads us to the past year which is hands down the most facist and disgusting forum I've ever seen. Anyone who didn't bow down to the extreme-left ideology was banned. You either stayed silent or you were banned. Shit, people would go through each others post history to try and find who was having "thought crimes". It was like Invasion of the body snatchers.
Oh he critisized Hilary?
"TRUMP LOVING XENOPHOBIC TRANSPHOBIC HOMOPHOBIC RACIST NAZIIIII""
And then bam. 300 person dogpile and the mods came in to pull the trigger.
It wasn't just Neogaf though. Anyone outside the forum got it just as bad. This forum THRIVED on Witchunts. "They dared to question to progressive agenda? they didn't have minorities make up 80% of their videogame? whats that they dared to have a woman wear tight pants.....cus women don't do that in real life oh no.." off to ruin lives it was. With their campaigns to boycott, put people out of business, get them sacked, ruin their lives, affect their friendships and careers.
It's funny. This forum was obsessed with toxicity in gaming, yet as we've seen over the weekend EVERYONE ELSE viewed Neogaf as the most toxic environment in the industry. A fact you even allude to in your post Tyler. Neogaf was the bad guy all along.
You lot thought you were the voice of the industry. You thought you spoke for the people. Nope, turns out literally every other forum out there thought you were just a load of pathetic, far left loonies.
You say you just want to get back to videogames, no more social and political discourse. Too little too late, this is exactly what you should have done years ago. That's all people wanted. But no you cultivated this SJW enviroment. What started as the odd thread about social issues quickly spiraled into a situation where every other thread was now about this progressive shit in gaming. It wasn't even good discussion either, it was just psychos wanting to go ruin lives because a developer didn't cater to their ideological world view. It was toxic. I find it funny that you only want to ban social and political discourse when it comes back to bite you in the ass.
The irony of all this is that you were brought down by the beast you created. You helped to grow this crazy SJW cult and it ended up being the death of you. You can't put the genie back in the bottle now Tyler.
"Women must be believed at all costs" says the SJWs. I get that, I understand why it's important especially as most are speaking out about men in power. However when you create a situation in which women are to be believed in their accusations at all times then it kind of leaves the people accused fucked doesn't it. Fucking cowardly how you're all "believe women...except the one that accused me, bitch is crazy yo". You cowardly, sniveling hypocrite. On the topic of that it's obvious you're into the pickupartist shit. "I had to grab her ass to show her I'm in charge" lmfao. You creepy cunt.
You fucked yourself though because all over the internet the headline is now "Neogaf owner accused of sexual harassment, bans talk of social discourse". Really makes you look guilty.
Your forum was the worst thing to happen to the videogame industry. You loved it though. Thought you were a big shot. Thought people were afraid of you while you had your lynch mobs and hate groups. Now you're a laughing stock. Good luck at next e3, you'll just be known as the creepy sex pest who exposes himself to women uninvited and without your lynch mobs I'm sure everyone will be quick to tell you what they think of you. Pointy eared fuck.
This forum used to be your throne. Now it serves as some kind of shitty memorial where people only come here to laugh at you. Look at it. It's a ghost town. The only people still here are throwing their accounts away making fun of you for a laugh. It's still going on. The SJW crowd won't touch you anymore. Every non-sjw who you forced to stay silent by threat of ban is done with you.All of the big names are done with you. Without the leakers and content creators you're forum popularity is going to dwindle dramatically. You're done Tyler. It's over. The industry will be better off without you and Neogaf.
You cunts too. The mods LOVED being personalities. Stuck up pretentious cunts who thought they were special because they got made a mod. They carried out this wimps facist whims without question in order to keep their place. When the revolt happened it's no surprise that the prison guards got attacked.
You're all so fucking pathetic that you have to remain anonymous. A way to suck dick for e-power without the old guys turning on you. lmfao.
You Crossing Eden. You were one of, perhaps the biggest SJW Cuck on here. Every fucking thread you derailed with your pointless SJW shit. Of course due to the nazi mods and the fact that only SJWs were left at this point, that's it - the thread now had to be about that. Once someone made a social justice post the thread was now about that. You weren't allowed to get back on topic. Everyone had to pander to your delusional and retarded world view. I never really used this word before but you're a fucking cuck of the highest magnitude. Sort yourself out.
^^
But the people who are leaving here because the level of discourse is going down the shitter are the real reactionaries.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I'm one of the receipts. Bish banned me on one of his rampages when The Usual Suspects in PoliGaf/BCT must have pm'd him or something(always pathetic when that happened, worst was when the Nintendo lot did it in a Media Create thread) over me using the word "fam". I had just been in there saying the left needed to calm down and plan and not keep threatening allies with punches to the head or "the end of whiteness" or whatever the fuck. Borderline racism lets be honest.
I guess my bizarre ban and many others broke the camels back and I got unbanned a lot faster than expected and Bish slunk off once he couldn't power trip anymore.
Happy to be a part of the de-modding of this forum. They had all collectively become a cancer.

I understand that. I'm not okay with what transpired. However, if you feel the need to disassociate yourself from the site, you can just leave without shitposting. If you plan to never look back what does it matter if you're banned or not? It doesn't prove anything.

i am sorry the thread was moving rather quickly
the only thing i recall was seeing a post of yours in which you complained about being banned for defending zwarte piet and i kinda didn't want to engage with that
But he is banned?
As are the people leaving while posting dead people missing limbs or hard core porn.
And new mods ill give you the benefit of the doubt. Good luck.
god forbid that millions of Americans feel insulted!
It doesn't matter, allegation of sexual misconduct have been met with 'she is mental ignore it, no politics or annoying social stuff on this site'. That's going to attract one kind one person for the most part.

My sympathies for the moderation team who have to delete so much garbage posts.
This site will be soooo much better after the psychos leave. I always leaned closer to being rational/moderate but was scared to say it. But after South Park and Bill Maher were painted as alt-right, I didn't know what to think anymore.

How am I pretending to know everything when it is you that is pretending to know everything without any evidence of your claims? How did he point at him? Where did he say it was a show of power?

never seen an ad on the internet for years🤔
I had this place whitelisted but it hardly seems to matter now.
I got banned for something pretty stupid one time and the other two were what you'd call political in terms of GAF. One time I said a man who wasn't the prime minister of Canada was not the prime minister of Canada and was told I should consider whether GAF is somewhere I should be given my politics (I suspect that was a bishoptl ban) and the other, in that thread about how Nintendo fired an employee who worked as an escort, I said that I'm not for GamerGate but even a broken clock is right twice a day. That warranted a two-month ban, for which a mod told me I said GamerGate "is sometimes 'on point'". I don't know that I've used that phrase once in my life.
So yes, the bans were often bullshit and nobody needs that in their lives.
So yes, the bans were often bullshit and nobody needs that in their lives.
I never complained about being banned for defending (which I didn't, as pointed out by several users) zwarte piet, I complained about being banned for trying to get people away from all the hate, especially towards the children...so, apparently you didn't look at all? The sentence involving the mod was even right above that.
I'm not American, so that doesn't really matter to me. What does matter to me is the language used, especially when it's by a moderator. I'm also pretty sure that there were several Trump voters on this forum, so obviously he heavily insulted those users.
Yep, people noted the big amounts of Juniors. Guess why there are mostly juniors and posts with small activity still running about. It's because most vets just left.
I can not fathom how people think that NeoGAF is just the platform and not the community.

I mean, the guys who make and manage the GOTY threads, Durante, majority of OT, people that post tons of OTs and insider info like Shinobi, the sales-age people like Zhuge and Nirloak are all moving on, so....
That a broken clock is right twice a day?
If GamerGate says an employee should be fired, does that mean a company needs to keep them on the payroll for enternity?
I think some of you guys hear the word "GamerGate" and see red.
Why is it people think everything deserves a ban? I need more context, but this is the only forum that has that mentality and no, it didnt work.

Aye, fair enough, I also criticized the disgusting NFSW account nuking members are using a few pages back. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with the sensible people who are politely asking for a ban. I know one former member posted about lacking the self discipline to not come back and that's why they requested a ban.

People will take their place
I wonder why what amounts to a hate movement at this point generates anger
I remember that escort thread. People were getting banned for saying it was okay for Nintendo to fire a prostitute.
People at work today were cracking Hillary jokes. PoliGaf was very pro-Hillary, but people should not pretend this doesn't go both ways.
You're gonna replace people like Durante? Good luck with that.
