Support NeoGAF

[Deleted member 752119]

This is what I miss most about oldGaf (hot babes thread era GAF, not sjw era) is that the gaming side was moderated heavily and stupid fanboy posts weren't welcome. Oftentimes I will read through a thread and just not bother to respond because for the most part the conversation is just too idiotic to engage in. Hopefully these are just growing pains. The internet needs a proper place to talk about games.

Totally agree. The worst part of the Gaf/Era split was it left us no good place to talk games. Era was to politicized on the gaming side from the get go, and traffic died here and as it's came back too much if fanboy console warring nonsense. Other forums are either too slow, or even less moderated and more full of kids and fanboy nonsense. Most sub-reddits are full of kids, memes and people posting screen shots and clips of them playing that I couldn't care less about.

Hopefully, as you say, it's just growing pains. They need the traffic and ad views etc. so it's probably hard to be overly strict in bans for that petty fanboy stuff right now. The few game OTs that get traffic, as well as the news threads that don't devolve into fanboy bickering, are quite good. The balance just needs to shift to more of those and less of the console warring crap.

You can offend without harassment.

True. Something simple and seemingly innocent can offend a person like a full length playthrough of Daikatana.

I remember Antoon. He was the guy who was visiting furry conventions on his weekends.

I think it's a very brave move from him to quit GAF to fully commit to his passion which is the furry lifestyle. God bless

The levers of power have been manipulated from behind the scenes by the same group of people. From Ancient Egypt, to Ancient Rome, to the Nazis, to the current Democrat presidential debates. They are losing said power due to an inevitable complacency of having said power.

Like the Neogaf pre-post scandal. Those with power should not be held unaccountable behind their intentions.

We already have somerset for this kind of stuff.

I guess we'll never find out the true horrors of 5G internets.

If he doesn't come back to fill us in, I'm gonna' be pissed.

lmao this is fantastic, i remember his own representations of himself were so normal and clean

LMAO LATER PUSSY

I like how he can't be a murdered, thus he is a pussy. Because murderers have balls you see.

I'll visit his YouTube page. His animation shorts were funny

What? Who are you exactly? Get off the high horse dude. I enjoyed his cartoons, and he posted in good faith in many different threads from what I remember. I view what happened here as a negative, I think whoever banned him was salty about being called a Resetcuck.

I hope reading this thread further more will clarify what I said. I don't hate on a user unless it's justified. I may seem like a gaming discussion hermit but I do keep my eyes and ears on what's going on in general. The dude was a habitual line stepper.

I still think it's a bit much to say he didn't and never would contribute anything of value to the forum. I liked his cartoons and he started several discussions here, I'll miss his contributions more than some of the regulars I see here daily.

That's true....I shouldn't have said that now when I look back at it. He was an interesting character in terms of not knowing what he'll say or do, but the permaban was inevitable. I should've said this instead of judging him like that.

 

[Transhuman]

He was an unapologetic racist who hated homosexuals and trans people, but I guess when it comes down to it he also had his flaws.
