Support NeoGAF

[water_wendi]

Yes and no. If you look at /pol/ for example they tend not to like evangelicals so much since they're seen as being part of the cuckservative thing, but since a lot of them are neoreactionaries they're into (traditionalist) Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Of course you've got your Christian Identity types too. But there's a ton who consider Christianity a Jewish trick and are either atheists or neopagans. And some Hindus.

And then there's the Kekists.

i dont know about neo-nazis on reddit but in life ive seen them go on about how the religion of Christianity is a Jewish conspiracy. The flavor of neo-nazi ive had the most experience with is the pagan, old gods, occult kind.

I play games with a group of people with ages that consist between 18 and 28. The youngest ones seem to use the word cuck interchangeably with dumb or moron. Theres like only 2-4 Trump supporters in the 124 or so people and only one seems to be an alt righter. I think the word is changing its meaning with the younger millenials. I didnt see the word being used by people around my age and up(25+).

Im just saying this because some people seem to think people are literally referring to the act of cucking every time the word is used but my observations seem to tell me otherwise.

The Kek thing is the epitome of something a bunch of loons take seriously but if you shine a light on it then it's incredibly easy to be written off as a joke.

It's like if the weird side of Youtube personalities were all "politicians" and "journalists" instead.

What the flying fuck!?

Well, okay, but this isn't 4chan. I think it's safe to assume that people on GAF who are using anime avatars *most likely* aren't freaking Nazis.
I've seen the sentiment, on GAF (and not just in the last year) of people shitting on people just because they like anime. Like, actually the fact that they like anime, not 4chan fucking everything up on the internet. Sorry, I thought this was an extension of that, and now it was just cool to call people who watch anime Nazis because it's always cool on GAF to shit on anime cuz lol. I was angry because I did not know that Nazis actually decided to do this, and thought this was just more GAF shitting on anime. I apologize.

Also fuck 4chan.

You are pointing your anger in the way wrong direction.

We're always expected to be bigger ("when they hit low, we hit high"), ignoring the staggering lack of wins we achieve with that strategy throughout history

How about this? When they go low, we go high, while stepping on these assholes with cleats on. I say that's a fair compromise.

Some aren't brain dead twats. That's what's most dangerous about these people. Some are very smart, very articulated and this intelligentsia is creeping its influence mostly through social media (for now) and trying to increase its reach. Not that naming this event Deploraball should be the measuring stick of smartness though...

Yup, they know what they're doing. Behind their pepes and dank memes these guys know how to play the internet game, and they're winning.

Fucken Mike Cernovich is still a thing?

I think he might have been one of the people behind the Hillary's health thing and Palmer Luckey follows him on Twitter. Mike Cernovich definitely continues to be a thing.

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Yes. Right now he's making a habit out of accusing everybody who doesn't like him of being pedophiles.

/pol/ is a pretty potent propaganda source, it's sadly important to know these things now.

Well, truth, I realized that when they went after the Treehouse girl for supporting pedophilia despite the fact they were attacking her for censoring the outfits in Fire Emblem.

/pol/ is 4chan. It is also pretty much contained within that board and the rest of the site hates them.

It is not contained at all to their "containment board". They shit up the site all over the place, but you right on most of the replies are telling them to GTFO.

For sure. Modern anti-Semitism is rooted in 19th century anti-Semitism, which goes back to the Bible.

A lot of alt-right guys are neopagans, but many more are hardcore evangelicals or traditionalist Protestants. There's a whole movement that tries to reconcile white supremacy with the humanist and universalizing nature of Christianity.

yeah...anime avatars have really been having a rough go of it for the past few decades....its pretty bad........ :/

there are so many nazis on tumblr it's crazy

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

H3XAntiStyle's posts might seem like a nonsequitur overreaction, but you have to keep in mind the greater context on GAF and elsewhere. Anime is not the most socially acceptable hobby for an adult. People with anime avatars have already been getting harshly bullied for years and years, with some people even going so far as to implicitly accuse them of pedophilia.

And now, on top of all that, they're being tied to literal nazis.

I'm too much of a narcassist to rock an anime avatar, but I feel for my non-deplorable weeb brothers and sisters.

On topic: letthemfight.gif. We don't need to go low, because they will eat themselves.

Is it bullying to point out that flaws exist within the culture surrounding your own hobby? Like I play games but am quick to point out the culture around games is amazingly sexist still. Likewise I enjoy Anime and will point out the culture of people surrounding it has many blatant issues.

[Kai Dracon]

It has always been like these for people like this. Saw it in the late 90s/early 2000s with the prototype online cultures for trolling, MRAs, angry white kids and the like. They sell themselves on the narrative that they represent a mighty army out to remake the world in their image. But they inevitably turn on one another because they really do live only to hate all human beings. They only know how to cooperate for the purpose of attacking people.

I actually think the recent emphasis on calling the alt-right neo-nazis may be getting to a lot of them. I've already seen some try to say they're not alt-right because of the growing nazi association. It was like this too back in the day. They can dish it out but can't take it, even if, like Milo, they put on a pretense of being teflon coated.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

I just realized that Mike Cernovich guy is the same person who injected himself into the GamerGate fiasco as a means to profit off those bigoted idiots. Was he anyone of importance before that?

Naturally, there is nothing wrong with that. I do too, and the overwhelming presence of anime avatars in alt-right twitter is undeniable.

The problem is what people do with that information, which in the case of GAF, is probably going to be feeding into pre-existing biases that manifest in ugly ways. That's what someone like H3XAntiStyle is probably seeing in this information, which is a lot more relevant to them than an alt-right flag that is usually attached to already blatantly alt-right comments.

 

[GuessMyUserName]

The constant anime avatar shitposts aren't doing any of that though? They're just pointing out any appearances of anime faces with no comment whatsover on the actual hobby.

Nah, I've seen way too many anime avatars here on GAF post Alt-Reichy shit to not assume the worst of them.

You see this shit all over the place these days.

I think the majority of people who watch anime are well aware of the seedy undertones that it can have.

But I could never count the times I've seen "lol, of course they have an anime avatar" or implications that anime = pedo *on this forum*.

I mean shit, anytime there's one of "those" Vita games announced, the threads are quickly filled with insinuations of the games being for pedos. Like, okay, the game basks in sexuality but there's no way you can say that pedos go for games where the main draw is huge honkin tits.

There's a lot of blatant shit posting when anime is concerned, and it's annoying to me as a person with a fairly mild interest in it, so I know it's gotta suck for the part of gaf that's really into it.

 

[Bold One]

Bull fucking shit.
I don't even care if this is bait or trolling or just a terrible joke, there's so many times where people get shit on or called terrible people on this forum because.... they like anime? And they use such as an avatar?

How, in any universe, is having a two dimensional picture representing yourself supposed to correlate to thinking that certain races of humanity should be wiped off the planet?



Bull. Fucking. Shit.

That's like saying there's a correlation between people who like the color green, and serial killers. Are there serial killers who like the color green? I'm sure there are. Do the two points have *fucking anything* to do with each other?

As someone who also likes anime, its a shame that its been co-opted by such horrible people, but seriously, that reaction is over the top.

As you'll see later in the thread, I was not aware that nazis were using anime imagery, apologized, and adjusted.

 

[antibolo]

Well I'm not gonna change my avatar. Fuck anyone who assumes I'm alt-right scum because I like anime.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

The constant anime avatar shitposts aren't doing any of that though? They're just pointing out any appearances of anime faces with no comment whatsover on the actual hobby.

Because anyone that's been paying attention long enough can fill in the blanks. Those comments are made tongue-in-cheek. It's being terse.

But I could never count the times I've seen "lol, of course they have an anime avatar" or implications that anime = pedo *on this forum*.

Generally if someone says "of course they have an anime avatar" then it's not the fact they have an anime avatar alone that is causing them to say that. It's because person said something stupid. There are tons of people who post with Anime avatars who will never be accused of being pedos or whatever else you're talking about because they don't say anything to elicit those comments. I've gone years in places with Anime avatars and get labeled the exact opposite of alt-right (that is, I'm called an 'SJW') based on the content.

It'd probably be more worth a person's time to understand why someone is linking what is being said to the 'anime avatar' rather than getting offended by an anime avatar comment.

Edit:

Well I'm not gonna change my avatar. Fuck anyone who assumes I'm alt-right scum because I like anime.

Nobody is going to until you give them reason to via your words.
