Support NeoGAF

[Dirk Benedict]

Oh, seems lol my thread on reddit got taken down after over 100 replies and 200+ up votes in under 2 hours

 

[John Day]

Keep at it, flies don’t kill themselves

 

[Papa]

Keep at it, flies don’t kill themselves

These ones do

 

[Scopa]

Ok, I’m going to bed.

There better be more of these sweet, sweet scandals when I wake up in the morning.

Because it’s my pleasha!

 

[Starfield]

Link to the thread, please?

Seems like my thread got removed because I supposedly I violated against many rules or something, yet it still got many upvotea and replies.

 

[Barnabot]

Michele and Starfield all I want to say you are doing a great effort to no let the news get censored.

Keep pushing.

They keep mentioning "private information" for the deletion and yet all you see are the usernames with no damning personal info beyond that. It's almost like Resetera posters who have weaselled their way into moderation teams are coming up with lame excuses for removing content that damns the website.

 

[Betty]

Can you show me a Neogaf posts that claims all women are evil?

Also, please be mindful of the context. For example, I can be against Anita Sarkissean, but in no way does being against her mean I hate all women.

Well I went through every single post from Gaf (took a while) and I couldn't find a single one, so I guess the site loves women, I stand corrected.

As long as they're not feminist, liberal, in support of MeToo# or get triggered too much this is a very pro-women site.

 

[MilkyJoe]

I think B Betty has the wrong idea about this forum. People here just want to talk about games, tits, and arse. Sorry if that makes you blush

The Reeeeeeeeesetera folks are so far up their own arsed with their oppression Olympics, that they think it's how real people behave too. They have no idea that they are literally maniacs with this woke shit and gender bollocks, to the point that this entire situation is completely unsurprising and, honestly, the logical next step for the place. You're not going to get your woke halo until you find a way to defend pedos.

KiA has some shitty mods now. Been an issue for a long while.

 

[Dreadstar]

But wow, it just proves this even more, someone removed my first post for rule 3... It does proves there is an Resetera member among that Games subreddit.

It's a known thing that at least one of r/games mods is a regular resetera poster.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Reasons why Gaf will never get industry insiders or game dev interaction again right here.



I'd say you must be part of NuGaf, the formally left leaning site now infested with far-right/alt-right twats who've migrated from /pol/ and other similar shitholes with the single goal of being bitter against anything not in keeping with their ideology.

You're just old Neo Gaf but less popular and mostly for conservatives

Anything right of the extremist left seems to be right wing to Reeesetera. Just pointing that out.

Anything to the left of the extremist right seems to be left wing to Nu Gaf. Just pointing that out.

 

[Spartancarver 117]

Crazy that the posts on Reddit of all places keep getting taken down, seriously thought anything was fair game on that site lol

 

[Enygger_Tzu]

Anything to the left of the extremist right seems to be left wing to Nu Gaf. Just pointing that out.

Well at least Nu Gag purged its pedos, Reeee defends them.

That didn't last long, but what did I expect from someone who ran off to ResetEra? GAF is not filled with far-right/alt-right twats just as ResetEra isn't filled with left-leaning folk. It only appears that way because you are so entrenched in the far-left extremism on Era that anything to the right of that is "alt-right". You are a sad little troll who parrots the same phrases like the rest of your little buddies do. Hard to think of anything original to say in-between the pre-programmed NPC dialogue, huh?

Hello everyone. It’s been a long time since I posted on gaf, but now I’m here in an attempt to clear out my name. I’m not a native English speaker so sorry for the few mistakes.

I thought long about this too, and despite being told that it would be better to just not engage conversation, I have hopes that people here will understand my arguments in good faith. I will not talk in names of the others, but only of mine. Because I’m a victim of misinterpretation. I'm not here representing anyone else but myself.

This server, which I was part of, was made to discuss video game sales numbers. It’s what fuelled the conversation most of the time. It’s not affiliated to era but usermade. It was not a server made for prominent members to make discussion with the staff. It’s all there is to it. The reason why you may recognize some popular names is because they’re all sales-related. It was a big place to discuss video game sales (be it Famitsu numbers, NPD, Media Create, PAL charts…). We never had any input in any kind of moderation issue. Most of the time we actually disagreed with the moderation, and a lot of us (including myself) got banned multiple times. I even considered going back to GAF at one point. The reason our server was private is because we didn’t want any console warring in it

Some discussions went off-topic, notably when it concerned moderation (as we often disagreed on it) and one of those is screencapped in OP, where a thread about GTAV and rape was made which caused many bans of Era members. From that point, we discussed legal perspectives and legal dispositions regulating those matters. That’s all there was to it. We discussed the difference between the age where you become a legal adult and the age of consent, which I mixed in the course of the discussion because, as I said, I’m not a native English speaker and definitely not well-versed in that field.

As for the threats OP claimed she got, I’m deeply sorry about the aggressive tone I may have conveyed. I just went out of school when someone linked me the thread and I was immediately filled with anger that someone I once considered a friend (and of which I thought it was reciprocal) accuse me of the sort. I sent a discord DM (the one OP screencapped) asking what the hell was going on and why would she do that. It ended abruptly as I was angered and saddened at the situation. I want to precise I didn’t threaten anyone of legal actions. My last sentence was very much made because of worries that OP, knowing her difficult situation, could be put in danger if someone took all of it very seriously and decided to sue her for defamation. I apologize to OP if I came across as threatening, but that wasn’t my intent.

For the LuigiBlood post, I believe he already explained his situation (which was tied to me merely because I was talking about the Metal Gear Solid 1 French dub).

As for my recent era name change, it was in hope that people would just forget about me. I didn’t want to come post here because I don’t like the attention. I’m no one important, just a rando like anyone here. I’m not affiliated with era or anyone else. I was just spending time on a discord server talking about games sales and anything that was discussing in general chat. I never expected that anyone could have interpreted my posts like that. I’m not a pedophile, nor was I ever interested in underage people. I’m still at university. My part of this situation is a big misinterpretation and I really want to prove it.

I’ve already cut ties with the server, and the people this thread rightfully pointed out as potentially very suspicious once their twitter account was digged out. I’m not affiliated at all with those people. I only talked with them in the context of game sales and what topics came in the general chat. I don’t know most of the people outside of that, and definitely not those affiliated with pedophile content. I’d also like to point out that nowhere did the server endorsed even remotely such content. Two of the people (the two most of this thread is about) got banned/kicked from the server and that nobody ever posted endorsement of pedophiles nor imagery of underaged people in the server and that the moderation would have taken action upon that without a doubt.

I’m no different than any of you, I’m just a random internet user fanboying over some games and ranting about others. I really want to clear out my name. I understand why you people would pursue people suspected of diving into pedophilia and other illegal fields, but I’m really not one of those people. I hope this was enough of a statement to at least testify of my honesty.

 

[Rock And Roll]

Why do you #BelieveWomen but not Celine.D.Sykes?

Not only do they not believe her, they dismiss her as mentally ill and crazy when raising her concerns. Hmmmm problematic

This seems like you're playing the on one the last missions of Ace Combat 7, Lighthouse: you have common threat which need to be taken care of and you are fighting a bunch of drones to get the job done. But still you guys are having international help to fight along with.




Here's some music to cheer you up.

Bullshit.

Kano was on Discord in that thread, right? I won't lie, what he's saying can also not be true, but have you considered reading that post over for a moment? And maybe he can post proof of him cutting links?

edit: Wait no, he attempted to say something to OP

 

[Enygger_Tzu]

Stuff

So, you threatened to bury the evidence by harasssing and threatening the OP, not once, ONCE while all those posts where getting you decided to leave or confront anyone about them or even take them to a mod/admin and you got a name change from the safe pedophile protectors and now you come here to do damage control?

The audacity here is really stinging.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Anything to the left of the extremist right seems to be left wing to Nu Gaf. Just pointing that out.

Hmmm... Not so good. But at least it's not written in binary.

I've absolutely cut any links and can prove it by any way you'd want it. I'm not in the server anymore and want nothing to do with it as well.

So, you threatened to bury the evidence by harasssing and threatening the OP, not once, ONCE while all those posts where getting you decided to leave or confront anyone about them or even take them to a mod/admin and you got a name change from the safe pedophile protectors and now you come here to do damage control?

I thought about making a statement as soon as last night, but I got advised against it. Now I understand that people here really wanted me to make a statement if I was really innocent, and I'm now doing it.

I’m not affiliated at all with those people. I only talked with them in the context of game sales and what topics came in the general chat. I don’t know most of the people outside of that, and definitely not those affiliated with pedophile content. I’d also like to point out that nowhere did the server endorsed even remotely such content. Two of the people (the two most of this thread is about) got banned/kicked from the server and that nobody ever posted endorsement of pedophiles nor imagery of underaged people in the server and that the moderation would have taken action upon that without a doubt.

I’m no different than any of you, I’m just a random internet user fanboying over some games and ranting about others. I really want to clear out my name. I understand why you people would pursue people suspected of diving into pedophilia and other illegal fields, but I’m really not one of those people. I hope this was enough of a statement to at least testify of my honesty.

Thanks for coming and trying to give your side to the story. I appreciate it probably wasn't an easy thing to do.

and uh, good luck.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Hello everyone. It’s been a long time since I posted on gaf, but now I’m here in an attempt to clear out my name. I’m not a native English speaker so sorry for the few mistakes.

I thought long about this too, and despite being told that it would be better to just not engage conversation, I have hopes that people here will understand my arguments in good faith. I will not talk in names of the others, but only of mine. Because I’m a victim of misinterpretation. I'm not here representing anyone else but myself.

This server, which I was part of, was made to discuss video game sales numbers. It’s what fuelled the conversation most of the time. It’s not affiliated to era but usermade. It was not a server made for prominent members to make discussion with the staff. It’s all there is to it. The reason why you may recognize some popular names is because they’re all sales-related. It was a big place to discuss video game sales (be it Famitsu numbers, NPD, Media Create, PAL charts…). We never had any input in any kind of moderation issue. Most of the time we actually disagreed with the moderation, and a lot of us (including myself) got banned multiple times. I even considered going back to GAF at one point. The reason our server was private is because we didn’t want any console warring in it

Some discussions went off-topic, notably when it concerned moderation (as we often disagreed on it) and one of those is screencapped in OP, where a thread about GTAV and rape was made which caused many bans of Era members. From that point, we discussed legal perspectives and legal dispositions regulating those matters. That’s all there was to it. We discussed the difference between the age where you become a legal adult and the age of consent, which I mixed in the course of the discussion because, as I said, I’m not a native English speaker and definitely not well-versed in that field.

As for the threats OP claimed she got, I’m deeply sorry about the aggressive tone I may have conveyed. I just went out of school when someone linked me the thread and I was immediately filled with anger that someone I once considered a friend (and of which I thought it was reciprocal) accuse me of the sort. I sent a discord DM (the one OP screencapped) asking what the hell was going on and why would she do that. It ended abruptly as I was angered and saddened at the situation. I want to precise I didn’t threaten anyone of legal actions. My last sentence was very much made because of worries that OP, knowing her difficult situation, could be put in danger if someone took all of it very seriously and decided to sue her for defamation. I apologize to OP if I came across as threatening, but that wasn’t my intent.

For the LuigiBlood post, I believe he already explained his situation (which was tied to me merely because I was talking about the Metal Gear Solid 1 French dub).

As for my recent era name change, it was in hope that people would just forget about me. I didn’t want to come post here because I don’t like the attention. I’m no one important, just a rando like anyone here. I’m not affiliated with era or anyone else. I was just spending time on a discord server talking about games sales and anything that was discussing in general chat. I never expected that anyone could have interpreted my posts like that. I’m not a pedophile, nor was I ever interested in underage people. I’m still at university. My part of this situation is a big misinterpretation and I really want to prove it.

Hard to believe that the discord is not affiliated with ResetEra when many of its moderators are running ResetEra itself. Given that and what Cerium has stated in the short discussion between them and Cykes - it is hard to believe that the discord is anything *but* an affiliation of that site. When asking folks like ZhugeEX, he instantly blocks them and hides. You are not doing a great job persuading us that the spade is not a spade.

 

[Starfield]

Even if it's not bullshit it will be hard to get that shit off of you. There's no reason to believe you (or not believe you). People will have doubts regardless of how much is true and how much isn't.

Thats how life or the world works


People will make their own opinions

 

[Spukc]

Bullshit.

the longer the excuse the bigger the lie

 

[Michele]

I've absolutely cut any links and can prove it by any way you'd want it. I'm not in the server anymore and want nothing to do with it as well.

Well, I don't trust you too much, but if you can simply prove you cut links with the ERA discord server, that should suffice.

 

[Betty]

That didn't last long, but what did I expect from someone who ran off to ResetEra? GAF is not filled with far-right/alt-right twats just as ResetEra isn't filled with left-leaning folk. It only appears that way because you are so entrenched in the far-left extremism on Era that anything to the right of that is "alt-right". You are a sad little troll who parrots the same phrases like the rest of your little buddies do. Hard to think of anything original to say in-between the pre-programmed NPC dialogue, huh?

Yes it is, why are you all so scared to admit it?

Is it just a coincidence all the talking points here, mainly anti-feminism, pro-gamergate, anti-MeToo#, pro-Trump just happen to be all the same talking point from /pol/ and other far right shitholes?

Like why even deny it? Anything even slightly to the left you all leap on and berate, anything even remotely progressive is instantly considered evil and lol worthy.

At least don't pretend this site isn't what it is, have the balls to be honest with yourself.

That's kinda ironic given that you and your friends had your name changed on ERA because this came out.

If it was truly nothing then you wouldn't give 2 shits about it and just leave it as it is because that makes sense right?

 

[JordanN]

Anything to the left of the extremist right seems to be left wing to Nu Gaf. Just pointing that out.

Again, can you post examples?

Ironically, I actually believe Neogaf is the most progressive when it comes to politics.
For example, I recognize both mainstream left and right-wing parties as being corporate pawns. Neither party represents my interests, but I only support the Conservatives because they are the closest thing to "Liberal" was 20 years ago.

On Resetera, no such nuance exists. If you don't support LGBTBBQQ2723y82 you are literally hitler. If you don't hate all men, you are literally hitler. If you don't hate yourself, you are literally hitler.

Resetera is serious about painting everyone as Nazis, whereas Neogaf is more likely to be skeptical of government in general.

 

[nush]

So, you threatened to bury the evidence by harasssing and threatening the OP, not once, ONCE while all those posts where getting you decided to leave or confront anyone about them or even take them to a mod/admin and you got a name change from the safe pedophile protectors and now you come here to do damage control?

The audacity here is really stinging.

It's the classic "I'm the misunderstood victim" defence.

 

[MilkyJoe]

I've absolutely cut any links and can prove it by any way you'd want it. I'm not in the server anymore and want nothing to do with it as well.



I thought about making a statement as soon as last night, but I got advised against it. Now I understand that people here really wanted me to make a statement if I was really innocent, and I'm now doing it.

Are you still on Reeesetera?

 

[LordKano]

If it was truly nothing then you wouldn't give 2 shits about it and just leave it as it is because that makes sense right?

I initially wanted to do nothing since I'm entirely innocent, but then I saw that people were talking about it on social media and just wanted to prove my honesty but making a statement right in front of you all.

Are you still on Reeesetera?

My account is still active there, yes. I'm thinking of requesting a closure to definitely cut ties with the entire situation.

Well, I don't trust you too much, but if you can simply prove you cut links with the ERA discord server, that should suffice.

How would you suggest me to prove it ? It's basically gone from my discord server list, so I can screencap that if that's enough.

 

[Starfield]

Can I just say that this has been more entertaining then the whole of E3? Because it's true

 

[Rock And Roll]

Just friends in the backyard people. Move along now

Grab em by the pussy

 

[Starfield]

Those backyard friends will understand...jst don't tell the police

But you're more than happy to run around after Era sweeping all this under the rug, aren't you.

People might actually take your post as genuine if not for that.

'' I wanted to prove my honestly by having my name changed once the pedo news came out so people can't look me up on said platform''

Absolutely nothing to hide and def not a way of shoving things under the rug.

100% honestly bruh.

Yeah, that should suffice. If you say it's gone from your discord server list, then you can do a screenshot that proves you're no longer in that server.

Do you plan to still use and browse a place like Resetera? Why did an admin have no say over what the mods were banning people for? If most of you knew that the site's moderation acts insane, why did an Admin do nothing about that or the pedophilia content found in that server and elsehwere?

Sorry but secret discords like that are just automatically sketchy to me. There's no reason a sales discussion like that needed off topic discussion or not to be a public forum in the first place unless there was something to hide. Speaking of, I recommend you make a thread on Era explaining all of this as well and use your connections to get them to allow discussion so this doesnt look any more suspicious. Banning people from talking about it just makes them look more guilty.

 

[LordKano]

But you're more than happy to run around after Era sweeping all this under the rug, aren't you.

I've been thinking of requesting an account closure ever since this came out. I think I'll do it as soon as I've been able to clear out my name here.

Or he can throw himself on his sword, get a perma ban, severing all ties with the forum?

 

[Michele]

You mean on Resetera? That's what he wants to do, he wants to sever all of the ties with that forum. Looks like he is finally realizing just how much of the toxicity is that forum.
