NeoGAF is heating up!

No, I'm just more than happy to point out that the people trickling back here have knowingly and voluntarily supported ResetEra for quite some time, meaning:
  • They have exceptionally poor judgment, because that place has been fucking nuts for at least two solid years now.
  • They were fine with ResetEra until something happened to them.
  • Some of them probably made big, bold, virtue-signaling ban requests while NeoGAF was being decimated over a rather suspect allegation.
Which begs the questions:

1. What value do they bring?
2. What can they contribute to the forums?
3. What is the risk?

After I left NeoGAF in 2015 over a bullshit ban, I went to SomethingAwful and saw firsthand how a forum can be brought down by a handful of rotten eggs. Difference is, NeoGAF has a chance to expand its size while keeping its quality, whereas SA is just doomed because of the riff-raff that wrestled control away from Lowtax in an eerily similar circumstance. To be fair, Lowtax does seem like a real fucking mess these days.

Just my two cents.

That's fine, but never ignore the human condition of peer pressure and the need of belonging. A mass event uproots the good and bad.

If they are assholes, then fair enough, judge the individual. Many on there just stick to games I'm sure.

A lot of people simply don't have defense mechanisms against wokeness because it can seem like there are only two options - you're either woke or you're on the right. Tribalism makes people do stupid things. People need to understand that you can reject wokeness and still be on the political left.

Too true. I'm left on majority of issues. But far left identity politics is simply not on and venom to culture. Extremism in all forms needs to be rejected in a civil society.

I think you're looking too deeply into reasons why people joined ERA

For the silent majority, it was just where the influential gaming media went. I never really "left" this place, was always a member. But the activity dried up...so many bregrudingly left, but the moderation team on GAF was absolutely terrible back in 2017, so can you really blame people for wanting to leave at that time? Many had been banned and were promised something that turned out to be a lie.

Either way, it's up to the moderators here to make sure that things are fair. Posters won't be able to come here and get people banned by mob rule just for having a difference of opinion. As long as the moderators are fair and balanced in their approach, and try and keep Gaming mostly about Games...I don't see the issue.

The truly insane posters over there would never want to post here where opinions outside of their echo chamber are allowed.

Good observations.

Most people are just easily influenced by authoritarian types. They'll tolerate it out of fear of being ostracized, or adopt their rules under the promise of a return to normalcy.

A place like Ree should have never been supported. It's a perfect microcosm of the worst parts of social media.

Hopefully the people coming back can reflect on that. "I just wanted a busy place to chat". Well that's why cesspools like Twitter and Facebook have the control that they do over society now.

Social media has incentivized the politicization of fucking everything by feeding people outrage dope. It's like an unholy mix of drug dealer and child predator, fine tuned with machine learning and AI algorithms to target pretty much anybody, anywhere, anytime.

GAF has the opportunity to detox and unify people through a common bond...love of video games. This is a place you can join the circle, light up a joint, and just enjoy some fun times. There is no amount of logic that can deprogram radical behavior like we see, but humans learn by example in a reflexive manner. So for the remnant that stayed to rebuild GAF, it's important to be aware of the quality our shitposting and to exemplify the type of community we're projecting out like a beacon to these ships lost on the stormy sea.

I believe site leadership is keenly aware of the product being cultivated here. Looking at the ban page, I'm satisfied with how they're handling the Reeee-turners that try bring their toxic attitudes in their transition back to reality.

Take it easy. It's just a video game forum. The ones that left (followed the traffic) are the ones back. It's all good.

I'm really happy that Gaf is growing.

But on the other hand, influx of people from the recent ban wave on era may damage current freedom of speech here. I mean, if you stayed on era till now and accepted their totalitarian rules all that time, you are not really that different from the rest of those tankies. Everyone sane knew era was a hateful garbage years ago, yet you all were ok with that untill you got banned? Better late then never I guess, but if you ever feel the urge to call someone a nazi/racist/homophobic because he doesn't agree with you about some petty gaming stuff, think twice - doing this virtue signalling is what turned era into radical cesspool that it is today. Do not destroy another community with your political views.

Also part of my family were killed by actuall nazis, so I know on personal level what nazis were and what nazis did. Using "nazi" to name everyone who didnt like TLOUII or someone who doesnt feel that Cyberpunk is transphobic (or other examples where era loved to throw term nazi around) makes you look really dumb in my eyes.

I was never a member of GAF before as I couldn't get through the registration process for whatever reason. So when resetera opened up, I jumped on board. I was among the first to register. That was back in 2017 or so? I posted there a total of 50 times. I have thousands and thousands of posts across many different sites spanning years. But there was always this vibe on resetera of "you don't belong here". Now having not really understood the history between resetera and GAF, I wrongfully assumed this would also be the case on GAF. I figured the two were just mirror images of each other. Didn't realize they were damn near polar opposites until I finally decided to give GAF another try and was able to get in.

GAF is great because I do not feel like I have some douchebag dissecting every word of every one of my posts looking for a reason to punish me. I can fucking breathe again. It is great.

True story follows.

I was standing in line at the Post Office in El Segundo, CA in early December of 2017, with a package I was sending to my brother for Christmas. In front of me were three late twenty-somethings: A fat girl with pink hair, her chunker Asian boyfriend and some third wheel that looked like Steve Urkel. They were huddled around the fat girl's phone, looking at a Hollywood Reporter story, and one that apparently referenced a "hot scoop" from everyone's favorite commie shitshow forum, ResetEra.

Fat Girl: "It's fucking awesome that the news picks up stuff from ResetEra."

Fat Guy: "They do it all the time, too. They had something on Variety last week."

Steve Urkel: "This forum is basically the video game version of Studio 54. Everyone wants to be a part of it because all the action happens here."

Now, after you're done digesting how fucking pathetic it is to be "proud" of a forum because some worthless hack of a writer, who apparently has no industry contacts, which forces them to lurk on ResetEra to nab scoops from pathetic "insiders," then hastily construct a poorly-written turd of an article to slap on THR.com before calling it a day, consider this:
  • A lot of the people who fled NeoGAF when all hell broke loose did so, because:
    • They're fucking weak
    • They're fucking pathetic
    • They're fucking nuts
    • They're scenesters
    • They just did what everyone else did because they can't think for themselves and wanted to be a part of the crowd
      • And possibly earn brownie points from the Woke Republic so they can turn it in for, I don't know, Ally merchandise?
And now, they're starting to filter back here. Yay?

Look, I'm happy for EviLore EviLore , who has gone to great lengths to make amends for the shit that the fucking insane NeoGAF moderators did to people here (myself included), and it's great that traffic is getting better and better, but I do have concerns about who is being let back in.

Ultimately, this is not my forum, so it's not under my control, but it would be a crying shame to see history repeat itself here, especially since the forum's leadership/moderator team have done a phenomenal job bringing this place back to life.

Guess we'll see.



Spot on. Great post.



Thanks, but I meant what I posted, otherwise I wouldn't have posted it.

Concerns? Yeah, I get that. I think the only thing can be done is deal with any resulting problems is as they occur. I think most people on resetera are fine. I don't think the problematic ones (for the most part) are going to want to return anyway.

Trickster Trickster put it best

Trickster said:
Honestly the vast majority of people on Era seem like great people to me.

But yeah, unfortunately there is that small minority of probably no more than 5-10% of people there that constantly need to turn things into a purity test, and get hyper aggresive once someone engages with them but doesn't have the exact same view point. And unfortunately most of the people with power on Era are either part of that small group, or they simply don't dare to do something about them, hence why you end up with protected members like the ones you've mentioned.

Yea,same here.
Gaf was pretty slow for a while but things are great now.
It's really nice to open Gaf's gaming forum and see a first page full of.....you know,gaming related threads.Half of those on Era are just social justice rants disguised as gaming threads.

Frankly, this reads like a post from the other place. They just banned ACG for simply posting here. If this place is going to have the same shitty attitude, then I don't think you'll have to worry about the surge of new/returning people sticking around.

And yea, I was fine with resetera until "something happened" to me.. why wouldn't I? These forums are just a place for me to talk about games I'm interested in. As long as I can do that, I am satisfied. But I got home yesterday wanting to read cyberpunk discussion and saw there was no Cyberpunk review thread and no Cyberpunk OT -- and I thought, "fuck it, I'll go to GAF". I'm not here to add value or make some grand contribution. And no, I didn't make a big deal about leaving the last time. In fact, it was a very similar situation. I saw this place was on fire and normal discussion was impossible and I thought "fuck it, I'll go to reddit" and then eventually arrived at the other place.

I imagine most people are probably similar to me. And we're definitely not coming here to reshape this into the thing we just left.

It's was pretty easy to avoid the worst of it until recently. Resetera was the best place to get gaming news, leaks, stories, etc. as soon as they dropped. As someone who is mostly liberal when it comes to social issues, it was relatively easy to tune out the really outlandish stuff, especially if you stuck to the gaming section for the most part.

They were fine with ResetEra until something happened to them.

Who said anything happened to me? I came here to talk about video games again. I didn't get banned or have some kind of a meltdown over there. I'm sure plenty of people had a similar reaction and just...

This is exactly the kind of question that I would expect to see on Era. Who knows... maybe you'll fall in love with a migrating Gaf-Era-Gaf member, hook up in real life, have lots of unprotected sex, get married, and then find out years later that your spouse had half a dozen STDs all along and they were just playing the long game to exact their righteous fury on you and Neogaf as a whole.

Just giving an alternate perspective.

It's the risk inherent to open forums and open societies.
It's preferable to every single alternative.

Just pathetic, really. No one on RE gives a fuck about games. It's a safe space for mentality challenged activists and sjw.

Agree with both of these, though I got sick of it and left era around a year ago rather than recently. Gaming was mostly fine as long as you avoided threads about any game or developer they found problematic. I just got sick of having to avoid those topics and it was gradually spilling into more threads.

I also agree that the people that make Era such a miserable place aren't going to come over here. They're slowly achieving their goal of turning that place fully into an echo chamber/safe space for those that 100% share their extreme views.

Hopefully those that do come back, or leave and come to GAF for the first time, are folks like you and I who just want to chat about games. In any case, the bans page shows that Evilore and the mod team have pretty much a zero tolerance policy for returners who bring their screeching over here, which is as it should be. I see zero risk of GAF ever returning to what it was its last few years before the 2017 split.

I can't help thinking as we reach peak wokeness(the sort of thing that is happening with Cyberpunk on Era right now)more and more people will reach their limit of what is acceptable to them.I think most people are pretty straight down the middle when it comes to all these social issues,most people just want a quiet life and in this regard it means just logging on and talking about games.
When things go so far off the deep end in one direction there will always be push back,I'm sure there are many many members on Era right now that have reached that limit but feel trapped there because they probably don't realise Gaf is an alternative.....I mean the way I've seen Gaf described is utterly laughable(alt-right hell hole etc.)....no normal,rational person has anything to fear from being a part of this community.

I think that that place is just useless at this point, I mean.. I tend to read gaming websites in order to be up to date about games man, not to read handfisted stuff that if I'd remotely cared for, I'd search for it on any other website but that other place, you know..
 
Ive been a NeoGAF member since 2007 and only posted a total of 4 times lol. Suffice to say im a long time lurker... Jumped on ResetERA bandwagon in 2017 and never really hung out in the Etcetera Sub Forum cause I honestly don't care about politics and such on a Video Game Forum but recently got tired of the amount of SJW even on the Gaming Sub Forum. Started adding a bunch of people and threads on my ignore list. Currently over 70 lol.

Cyberpunk OT debacle was the final straw and decided to comeback here where you actually have a freedom of speech even when you dont agree at least you can voice your opinion about it.

Went back on RE this morning to see their Cyberpunk OT and laughed at the giant wall of text at the beginning of every pages you cant even ignore it.

This is indeed the case for a lot of people that stumbled here during the mod-mafia that ruled NeoGAF before the split.
I was here well before the mod-mafia and this forum was just brilliant, a must-be-there for every gamer, in the past year that greatness was, is, coming back slowly but constantly, it's a joy.
So, for us, for me at least, that "lived" here before, during and after, there's a little fear that things will go south if people of RE join in here en mass, the fear to see the Phoenix that is rising again burned again, I think it's understandable, maybe irrational but understandable.
In reality we must trust Evilore to handle this situation as he has done in these last 3 years, I think that his forum is dear to him as is dear to us, maybe a just little more ;)

It's telling when you only have 6 posts since 2007 and one's dedicated to this matter :messenger_winking_tongue:.
 
I was dealing with personal stuff (good stuff, career, relationship, etc) when the exodus happened and when I came back I had no idea why or when it occurred but I tried checking out RE (it was sold to me as the new gaf) and just completely lost interest in forums compared to the way I felt about this site when it was popular before that. After a few ridiculous threads from RE I removed it from my bookmarks and haven't been into the culture the same way I was. Glad this site is ramping up again. I've always enjoyed the humor and the amazing community here. Keep it going.

Yep. 'I don't want people from Era coming here' is the same exact bullshit as GAF posters getting banned over there.

If my son ever becomes like that moderator, I'm getting it retroactively aborted.

If one of their fragile moderators sees any post that is against the cult of woke they unleash their nonsensical words vomit to ban them.

Like the fact they dont even understand where people are coming from. They have no clue what being patient and tolerant is for change. They want it instantly, it did not happen for Black minority's or Gay communities overnight. It took fucking years of understanding, protests, research. And trans in terms of things like pronouns, different genders in society is new. Especially when there's no definitive research that can help address, inform and get proper help/healthcare.

No they want to cancel anyone who doesn't give automatic acceptance or understanding. How can people when a lot of this is changing all the time? Pronouns literally came into existence not to long ago.

No one over there takes the time to look at history in how progress is made. People were not on forums telling people they had to be of one mind. They were back then in the 60's standing together toe to toe protesting against police. Say what you will for black lives matter, at least protests happened to shine a light.

What has the trans community done? Go to lectures ands scream, tell people who voted or didn't for trump they are bigots and nazi's. I blame social media for fucking with these poor souls in giving them false security. You want real change? Get more involved in local government to shine a light on the treatment of trans community. Thats where it starts, get more concrete research. As it stands a bunch of psychiatric board members literally changed what Dysphoria is because of backlash and also lack of concrete data.

If thats not a red flag that more research needs to be done to better help people so we can get some things done and have better understanding an acceptance. Canceling people on twitter, social forums, just does nothing but create inclusive social discourse that goes nowhere, and literally helps no one.

Sorry mods for the rant and derailing. It wont happen again.
