No politics in gaming on Neogaf

I've personally chosen not to use the ignore feature. I believe there's often something to be gained from reading different viewpoints, and I have no users on my ignore list in 13 years. Listening to a wider range of opinions can be really insightful.
*Ignored*

I reserve ignore only for the most bad-faith posters imaginable, when they won't stop. So about twice. Otherwise, we shouldn't be such pansies to "see something we don't like" that we echo chamber ourselves to death.

I don't mean the ignore button.

I just mean skip the post and not care about other people's opinions if you disagree with them.
 
I am starting to see a pattern with "both sides" and "who cares"
Its very easy to spot this pattern because it exists since forever ... once your "side" start to loose .. time to 1 - make the discussions "bad" ... 2 - make the other side look as bad as you or worse

Thats why I can at least try to respect Resetera who is a craziness cesspool but they own their bullshit to the extreme... here we got this fake neutrals pissed about the culture wars and "both sides" are bad.. who for years have said nothing but now ? ... welp things changed somehow for them.

Every woke outlet midia crying for body type A and B in games ? Thats fine.

Gamers asking for normality male and female ? Fuck culture wars both sides are bad lets end discussions about this.
 
OP says he's anti-anti-woke, which I guess... makes him... woke 🤷‍♂️, but then he uses the word "gay" to mean "bad" like a 12 year old would. Seems to me like OP is just butt-hurt that his shit thread wasn't allowed and is making another thread for attention. One can only hope he's no older than 15, for his sake.

Sometimes I wonder who the crazy one is. The OP for writing it, or me for reading it?
Defo the OP, bro, we just read it and laugh, like srsly u might think ur life is tuff(which it most likely is when u are avg guy, no inheritance/rich parents and such :P ), but then u read some crazy OP and suddenly u think to urself- i still have it all right here, in comparision, at least no1 put "live" tag on my thread so ppl around the world laugh at it :D
 
Complaining about the moderation in a forum is like going to someone else's house and complaining about the color of the walls or their choice of furniture.
Underrated comment. Some of us may not like how things are done here, but their house their rules. Sometimes fuck their rules, sometimes its cool.
 
It's hard to discuss the tariffs without a debate on the strengths and weaknesses of a neoliberal free market economy, which has nothing to do with video games.

"Oh no, the price of this GPU has gone up. Should I buy it now or later?" What else is there to talk about.

The DEI thing isn't equivalent because it directly impacts gaming.

Kidding.


I use ignore more so for bumped threads to games that don't interest me. There have been chronic users on here that spew garbage. Also for that. No way I could tolerate seeing those posts for long lol.
 
I think they're handling it the best they can given that it's politics affecting gaming, allowing discussion on a case by case basis, up to a certain point. There are plenty of tarriff threads already, post what you want there.

As for the other stuff, it can usually be discussed without talking directly about politics because they're transitive topics.
 
After the last ban I got on ERA I basically stopped posting in the gaming section.
This was my legit feeling.

I dislike, vehement Anti-Woke and Woke culture equally both side are crazy, but atleast here we can actually have the discussion.

There's been a bunch of threads already about tariffs so that's probably why it was locked. It's a single issue and it's been talked to death. The woke/anti-woke fighting on GAF is only more prevalent because every new instance of it becomes its own battleground thread, and there is a lot of it in gaming, in general, right now. GAF is pretty good about moderating those topics compared to plenty of other places and it can be pretty fun dunking on a lot of the idiocy so I don't see the problem.

You're on a blatant political soapbox here for no reason, several posts, we know it's not really allowed, and yet no ban. You should be thankful, yet the whine continues like you're a victim of some kind of unimaginable injustice.

Yeah, pretty much how I feel. I get why folks get pissed over this stuff. I just find social/political arguments exhausting these days, but definitely should be able to discuss this stuff when it involves content of a game. Ironically, I was banned at Era for daring to talk about the actual gameplay and content of Cyberpunk 2077 during the middle of Era's massive controversy surrounding the person who made the OT supposedly expressing anti-trans thoughts elsewhere. The admins even pinned a message saying that people should be allowed to discuss the game despite the controversy, but they ignored their own guidance and banned me for doing just that. Logic often goes out the window when things get political.
 
They NUKED my thread from The Bee about Trumps EO requiring female characters to be HOT again in games

I wonder why some people who adhere to woke ideology seem to have their brains explode if they are exposed to opposite viewpoints. Too often their hysterics(like OP's here) are just based on the fact that they want the other side silenced. Both sides can be crazy though of course and I say that as someone who loathes wokeness.

Same, I don't doubt that I might be on some ignore lists, but I see no point in ignoring others. If someone goes apeshit and breaks the rules of the site then the mods will deal with it and that's enough for me. Some people may piss me off a bit with their strange opinions, but that's just part of the fun of a forum.
 
Quick question papitos moderators

Since politics are banned 🚫

Are we allowed to speak about sex? And if the answer is yes, how far can we go?
 
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
It's always been ok as long as you're on the majority's side. The majority now just happens to be complaining about woke and complaining if the female characters are ugly

It is "ok" even if someone is not on the "majority's side". It is not like folks are being banned for arguing against the majority.

I don't get why talking about "woke" stuff in gaming would be considered politics....unless you specifically frame the conversation in such a way where it becomes about politics.

Guys can we just lock this thread and exile the troublemakers to r/Gamingcirclejerk and r/conservatives respectively
 
I'll be honest the Anti-woke bAsEd side has gotten annoying more cringe nowadays, but both sides of the extreme are cancer.

You might be putting more stock in their opinions cause they maybe the loudest. But their are plenty of posters on here who have very nuanced takes and I believe they're the majority of people.

But I get what your saying i remember the Avowed thread where people were saying purple in the game "was bisexual lighting" in a rpg, like it's funny but at the same time it sounds just as crazy as woke individuals they complain about.

Same with people on the left complaining about a fictional character in a game being too attractive and that it's not realistic, or a game not having enough people of color which just means not enough black ppl in a game.

Heck the kingdom Deliverance fiasco was even more stupid people not willing to buy a game off a character and a moment in the game, disregarding everything else that makes the game great.

Main point I think its fine to talk about this stuff. This forum does a good job in everyone being able to express their opinion and have good discussion.

Just wanna say guys, in the west/in the US some ppl are so crazy indoctrinated they genuinely blame their obesity on racism:

If they were super skinny and had trouble gaining weight(like actual children in very poor countries, many of them black in Africa, starving), then u could at least make some valid logical argument about "white masters" trying to starve poor black community, but to blame racism for obesity?
Whats the actual data for avg black woman in the US? 5feet 4inches height(162,5cm) and 188,5lbs weight (88,5kg), put in euro measurements for eurobros so we realise whats happening there :D

Knowing all this i absolutely dont blame our black american brothers, that they love playing in the snow so much last decade or two :messenger_tears_of_joy:
