So hm, I honestly don't know where I stand right now. Maybe the reactions to my post will answer my questions. If I turn grey, well...bye.
Do I think that grabbing a woman's butt in a club or a failed attempt of "naked man" is a big deal? Not cool, but there are way bigger isues in this world. It just one thing that never should've happened to you, Evilore, for obvious reasons. You can't say "drinking is bad" in front of your kids while sucking on a bottle of gin and that's all there is to say.
(Oh, since no clear evidence this isn't a direct accusation).
Tyler, you have to realize that most of the people jumping on you now are the ones you've tried to protect with the censorship on this site. It's plain and simple: the experiment has failed in some parts- the utopia has turned into some kind of distopia. Not since friday btw. Echochamber is the word I keep hearing when others talk about NeoGaf.
I will use an annecdote -not to defend myself in context to what is happening to you right now- but to adress one of Gaf's biggest problems:
2 years ago at E3 there was a tree-house thread with pretty heavy traffic as usual with these kind of threads.
One of the female Treehouse presenters in the stream had a very big pair of breasts in a very tight shirt. And surprise, surprise what do you guys think happened next? What happens when you wave a steak in front of your doggo? Yeah right, animalistic instincts kick in and some male gaffers couldn't help themselves but comment on what was on display there. I chuckled, left a harmless, stupid comment myself. No harm was done.
Of course, there are parts of Gaf thinking that following your instinct is an act of babarism...no further comment. It is what it is.
A few minutes later a new thread appears "pervs in the treehouse thread". I immediately stepped into this thread to confront the catholic school boys and girls with the fact that whatever happened in the treehouse thread was not an act of perversion. Bottom line: I don't give a fuck about who was wrong or right. I got banned, of course, because I was trying to provoke the users in the reaction thread for the immature way they were dealing with this shit. My choice of words was off for Gaf-readers as the mod decided. I accepted my ban and moved on. BUT In hindsight I think the OT should've been banned, too, for comming up with such a stupid and toxic thread. Not to give justice to me, but to save your own rules from going down the drain.
Why am I writing this now: because the double standards are what hurt this site and all of our modern culture most. You can't come up with a set of rules + values and just hope for the best. History has shown many times how easily "good" values are corrupted in an instant, because no one factors in what it means to be human. Big parts of the community on Gaf have a very exaggerated and distorted ideal of mankind. Yes Tyler, you've been a very bad boy for touching a woman's butt unasked. Instead of attacking people on the inet with our keyboards, maybe we should assemble some sort of Swat-force which pays regular visits to our local clubs, so we can call out all those filthy ass-grabbing pigs directly and bring those innocent girls back to their parents.
Isn't it ironic that only a week ago I would've been banned in 10 sec just for asking "why is a girl who's in a relationship hanging out with another man in a hotel room getting drunk?"
Whatever, life goes on. I enjoyed my time here and I hope you guys can sort this shit out with a fresh start.
and i personally know a few women who tried very hard to dig up episodes of their lives that can be skewed or altered just enough to allow them to post the hashtag.
