No politics in gaming on Neogaf

The incident that OP is referring to happened over three weeks ago. OP created a thread for this when there were already multiple threads discussing the topic. All of those threads were devolving into US political discussions. OP specifically called out Donald Trump in his thread title. OP also has multiple previous warnings about making bait threads revolving around politics.

So I deleted it.

Oh a trump and anti-woke discussion hater.. how original this people are
 
What's the baseline?

This is a new phenomenon where retards inject current day politics into recent games which will age horribly in the future. Unlike the politics they wove into games in the past which were evergreen and more philosophical.

So ya woke is just another manifestation of SLOP and should be pushed back on because it's distracting and it's purpose is to virtue signal.

For some reasons I couldn't post a thread on the recent tariffs potentially affecting the price of consoles,

But talking shit about woke and DEI is perfectly fine? Doesn't make any sense

GAF should ban all the talk about anti-woke politics cause its retarded and gay

Preach.

People inserting politics in games like Fallout, Bioshock or Deus Ex was the product of passionate devs that also happened to be cultured enough to be capable of making subtle political/social commentary.

Modern devs putting weird pronouns in their games is the product of not caring too much about what you are making, but rather caring about yourself and your own point of view while trying to pass it as the correct one. Pure ego.

ps: about the first point, I've been reminded of I think it was Tim Cain getting banned from the Fallout subreddit for saying that the game wasn't a critique on capitalism but rather a commentary on war. Some people are truly mad, blind to anything that isn't their own point of view.

These are the tactics they use. Once they lose control it's all "gosh both sides are bad. can we ban everything I don't like?"
 
High quality games selling nicely, so its natural it had to trigger some ppl, most likely dev/family of a dev who's game, made for "modern audience" so for no1, bombed, who knows, maybe marathon alpha terrible numbers/impressions had made the problem worse too :D
Its ok OP, embrace ur feminine nature and do this instead, measly 4k usd only:

Comments under the vid are pure gold btw :messenger_grinning_sweat:
 
It's so transparent what some people try to do with the "politics makes gaming expensive" message. The recent Switch 2 drama is mostly about the price of games (still, fuck greedy nintendo...and pour one out for our South American brothers). But people just can't help themselves then to try and convince/recruit people.

"Hey there fellow gamers, aren't you angry at current politician who may or may not be the end of gaming any day now. Here's a link to a woke media site, so it's for sure fact related and not agenda driven. No sir. Now come with me, we got some Teslas to key. Reeee!"
 
Because culture wars exist even without politics. Tariffs are, by definition, political. Not too hard to understand

Yea I had a post removed in a tariff thread and the reason was no politics lol in a tariff thread? Was wild

Keep in mind that deleting posts is not necessarily a punitive action. Your post was referencing "bidenomics" and was deleted to avoid the thread spiraling into party politics like so many other tariff threads already had.

This post can be summed up in one word....arfkfjsssfmcfmdksjdjfdssidfjfidismddk
 
Things that are tangled with politics but directly affect our games are tricky and everyone has to do their best to walk the line. But nobody here is perfect including all of us and the staff. It'll get a little messy but that just comes with human interaction.

Let's just stick to hating each other's taste in video games and not each other's votes.
 
OP, don't you have binary body types to argue about in the current video game politiculture landscape of game mod hosting restoration?

Your cpu needs to catch up.

I honestly don't remember what I wrote but I mean... I'm sure I said anything we have now is better than "bidenomics". I still find it a weird thing to zero in on when it was a political gaming thread.

But it's fine I still think moderating here is fine overall, I just thought that was an odd one

Friday Night GAF is the best.

I really hated my job this week. Shit just felt pointless. Only reason I didn't quit this week is that I have mouths to feed other than my own now.

But then I see grown ass men having a meltdown because their divisive political post got deleted on a video game forum and I think "maybe I'm not doing as poorly as I thought."

While I don't agree, I commend the balls it takes to repeat the same sentiment that you were just told got your first post deleted.
