Regardless of one's opinion of the meltdown, I don't think Himuro is a men's rights activist. Himuro's take on the incident is more of him seizing a particular moment -- as he was looking to quit here anyway -- to call out attention-seeking behavior. Of course, people are free to draw their own conclusions. It's just that, personally, though I don't know if that approach was perhaps the best way to go about it, he was trying to draw attention to egregious behavior while going out in a blaze of... something, I don't know if glory is appropriate. Either way, I don't think misogyny is what fueled it.

I think that a lot of us have our issues with specific threads or posters that really hit a specific nerve, but most won't lash out for fear of a ban. He did. I don't know that I'd have necessarily gone that same route to try and get my point across, and I don't disagree with his ban since personal attacks are frowned on or whatever. But I also don't think that his irritation was misguided, because there was a post history to back up what he was bent out of shape about.

That said, there's something to be said for just quietly disappearing instead of going out in a blaze of glory.

It happened a while ago, so all I remember is that himuro was upset about a lady talking about her breasts. That's incredibly pathetic...a big "So What?", in my book. Behavior that reeks of a sexually frustrated, shut-in nerd. He would be absolutely miserable in my circle of friends, as our ladies love to get dressed up when we go out.

So, misogyny or not (I don't know, or care), GAF is better off without someone who can't ignore a person who annoys them. If you want to quit GAF, then go quietly into the night, rather than some attention-whoring-wannabe-blaze-of-glory rant. Be an adult about it.

its ironic that you wanna call him out for attention whoring since that what he called her out for. and the rest of this is just sad.

That thread was epic indeed. I even racked up a small ban in there, lol.

Threads, no? I don't remember one individual thread that towered over the rest in the bodycount.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Epic Mickey was glorious. Ban bullets were flying all around me, it was like a cross between WW2 and The Matrix.

Threads, no? I don't remember one individual thread that towered over the rest in the bodycount.

There was one particular thread that went on for like five pages, then Dragona showed up and basically culled 80% of the posters on every page. It was pretty funny.

Yeah I think so.

Yeah, I know BlackCultureGAF misses him. I remember reading all about it in the BC thread.

But yes, it was quite ironic that he got banned for exactly the behavior he wanted to call her out for. :lol I don't even remember the girl.

then why are you so upset about this? im sure he isnt the first gaffer to go after someone, so why hang onto him?

 

[Hot Coldman]

Salvador is kinda a hero for the gif of the redhead. Kinda. Fallen angel.

was it the sliding car one?

Dont forget that lesbian parents thread.

Links to both, please.

Upset? :lol Not at all.

Someone else brought him up (like usual in these type of threads), and I commented on it because I was in the thread when he had his pathetic meltdown. Shame he had to shit up a great thread back then, too.

 

[gibut]

Can we just makeup reason for people getting banned, bet it would be more fun than the actual reason they were banned.


they should have a clause in terms for arguing with Devo, seems like its just account suicide.

Just realized the -ism thread guy got juniored.

Ain't nothing wrong with being a junior. Didn't Eggman get Junior'd not too long ago?

[distantmantra]

The way that Himuro went about it was inappropriate, but I agreed with the sentiment.

 

[Switters]

Wonderful news!

On topic: I guess this is now an infamous threads thread. Roma threads were always great at bringing out the worst in Euro-Gaf.

what about a trap tag?

I'd rank Negative tag below Member, maybe even on par with Junior.

 

[gibut]

Negative and positive can be pretty objective. I would consider Devo's tag negative but im sure she does not.

 

[Razek]

I'm just curious as to how negative and fishing tags (+ other negative variants) are considered above regular members?

 

[Lumpy Onion]

I remember Rahxephon pretty well for his obnoxious rants. Any time anyone mentioned enjoying MGS4 he went out of his way to tell them why they were wrong. He was full of so much rage it was kind of laughable. His back and forth arguments with people who disagreed with him shit up so many threads. I am assuming he was perma'ed.

Oh man that guy.. think he's the only one I've ever gotten into an "argument" with on gaf. Dude seriously had no sense of differing opinions, even worse than Ami. He probably had the most quoted tag ever on the gaming side.

For good or ill, a bad tag is earned. I think that is how people look at it.

Dont forget that lesbian parents thread.

Are you referring to this thread?

He had a huge meltdown over that tag. Someone must have felt sorry for him because it was removed right after that.
