Its quite obvious that modern media is different from when we were younger. Just as it was different for our parents. I think some of the differences prevalent today are worthy of criticism. The problem is that the show/movie is either "woke propaganda" or it's awesome and I'm an asshole for not liking it. Where's the middle ground discussion? That's what I'd like to see more of around here.

Not really sure what you're trying to say? People's money and time are important, reviews from people they trust be it for games, movies or TV shows can potentially save them some of both and serve a very real purpose. I'm not going to buy a game, play it for 30 hours and when it sucks be like "Well this game really sucks, but man I'm sure glad I was able to think for myself on this one."
LMAO.
It's sad that the most vocal do not want to think for themselves.

Maybe give this nice lady a call in your time off.
Buddy?He accused mods and the entirety of GAF's users of being bigots, and then asked for a perm because of that. To give him what he wants would be like validating his claims. Mods may not agree with what I'm saying here, but that's how I would see it.
More interesting to me, is that you decide to call out mods, affectively aligning yourself with OP, rather than call out how ridiculous his claims are to begin with...
And yeah buddy, it really is as easy as logging out and not coming back. Not sure why you're going all "don't give me that" on the point. Perhaps because you know there really is no viable argument against that.
Now he asked for a ban and not deletion, so this applies mainly to the logging out thing, but I'm not sure if you're aware of some little thing called the GDPR?

Just fucking do it in private. You complain about the edgelords, but look at the result, your result: You have them dancing on your proverbial grave and rewarding one another with gold in spite of your sniveling.
These threads are also cancer. I'm out.

I know it might not seem mature to post some kind of lashing out towards this place but I can't say I don't understand.
tommib has already shown multiple pleas to peace out on this forum and has also shown tolerance multiple times. I think tommib just wants to be reciprocated in turn.
I definitely am doing so more actively since some of our lgbt+ members have been feeling a bit more uncomfortable with some of these threads progress. This thread especially highlighted it as well as some posts Zeroing put out that I read. Something about tommib taking a break from gaf months before this because it's getting a lot more uncomfortable.
This lashing out is just a means for people to take notice of what's unconciously happening within the forum and I hope that the members notice and be more understanding.
I know I may have posted stuff that may be looked at as bad when viewed in their lens that I may not have seen as such. Only when people put focus on such topics like these that I look back and introspect and possibly change myself for the better. Some people like me just needs a little jolt to do so.

Fuck about.
I've seen some fucking nasty homophobic shit recently on this site in the Sandman thread that made me consider leaving, but I just ended up blocking the nasty little bigot and moved on.
If I ever did decide to leave, I'd just fuck off.
It's a bloody video games forum, not your sodding job

Report them. We have received zero reports on any of the claimed “homophobic”, “bigotted”, or “alt right” posts here. If you see such report them, explain in detail why they are issues and then place the user on block/ignore.

What gets me about all that is that they all claim to be smarter about things, because they can see the political messaging inside everything, but then they completely fall for the grift being put out by the incels on YouTube producing the outrage content.

I rarely get into stuff like this, but as you've posted this comment...
I reported this blatant homophobia in the Sandman thread:
I put the bigot on ignore, but I was disappointed nothing was done to remove any contents of the post.

I think that's a personal problem I have. I haven't reported a single post on any forum ever. I always thought it was a moderator's job to do so. I was also mostly on gaming side before a year or so and it's mostly console wars. I don't even remember if Gaf had a report button before the site upgrade.
I'll try to be more proactive from now on.

Sadly we can’t see everything in all threads. It helps a lot when members see something that we miss and would like it questioned or noted of breaking rules. There are thousands of gaffers, but only a few mods

So we are to pretend that wokeness doesn't exist and hasn't permeated Hollywood, when plenty of creatives have lamented its stifling effect? Dismissing valid criticism as mere "basement dwelling" is just as lacking in nuance as the (anti)-woke warrior rhetoric. These videos wouldn't be popular if the criticism presented within wouldn't resonate with a critical mass of people.
Quite frankly, I'll take a Critical Drinker over any of shill youtube channels that RLM likes to parody so perfectly. At the very least, they didn't forget that critics are there to criticize, not to advertise the next mass entertainment product.
It's sad that the most vocal do not want to think for themselves.
Or maybe, these videos merely express what people were already thinking.
Also, what's the point of dragging this sh*t into here?
Kinda funny that you were so afraid of what you shared that you felt the need to edit out the logo/source.

I don't think the problem is being anti-woke. I think it's that the phrase woke has essentially lost all meaning due to over and misuse. I don't pay attention to the mainstream whether it be tv, movies, music. I'm essentially as far removed from those things as possible and I am personally tired of seeing the word woke used to describe everything. I think there are certainly some valid points out there but it's just become the easiest and laziest way to complain about shit these days.So we are to pretend that wokeness doesn't exist and hasn't permeated Hollywood, when plenty of creatives have lamented its stifling effect?

There are now several dictionary entries for "woke" (in multiple languages), it's really not that hard to grasp its meaning. Some people always go overboard, but that doesn't automatically dismiss the whole issue.
This forum has started fence sitting so damn hard that it has become afraid of its own shadow.

How has the forum been “fence sitting”? I see blatant posts that are designed to create outrage, not spur actual discussion, get closed. I see people just outright dismissing/promoting “Woke/anti-woke” with zero discussion value being deleted/publicly warned (i.e. making drive by posts of “ITS WOKE TRASH” and not actually explaining how/why it is written with a slacktivist-bent to it).
Ultimately the term has generally lost all meaning and bad actors have ruined the term. Similar to how NPC became.

Overusing words leads to their loss of meaning and complete loss of usage:
The forum is a place for discussion. If people can't articulate beyond woke = bad, then it's not really a discussion. If you can support your ideas, as long as they do not break TOS, I don't see how allowing that discussion to occur is fence sitting. If you can't handle nuance in thought, then maybe Reddit is the better place for you.

I never think of gender shizzzle. Or participate in threads hinting at some gender stuff. Guess not watching mainstream news and not having social media does that?
I just ignore all this gender stuff. But if people here are being homophobic and stuff that's not good mods. I hope you'll agree on that.
Didn't know you to well but you liked my posts regularly somewhat. Shame all this drama

Here are other words that have lost any worthwhile meaning because of over and misuse;
Transphobe, Homophobe, Racist, Nazi, Misogynist.
Incel have even begun to be used as an insult for ANY men that are single, even by/in mainstream media.

I was referring to the every growing list of stuff you can't talk about anymore.
Terms don't lose their meaning, people just get annoyed about hearing about certain issues they would rather ignore.

Words like homophobia, racist, Nazi, misogynist have much more longevity than transphobe and incel. I would argue that first batch is less likely to lose meaning given the history of the words and the context in which they were born. For the others, time will tell. I do not see incel much and transphobia I would agree is on the path to becoming meaningless in many contexts.

No one said anything about people immigrating and becoming citizens. I just said residence does not equal citizenship. the shirt just says "as long as you live here the flag is yours" Which isn't accurate. You can live many places and not be a citizen. If you are natural born or naturalized then you are American, but if you are just chilling it isn't. That is why I made a joke about crepes.
I know that is why I made a joke about crepes. My whole post was a crepe setup.
