There's so much of this coded bullshit in this thread.
You clearly just want the people who made this place great for marginalized groups gone so you can spew some dumb red pill bullshit.

You've honestly seen the comments being permitted in here and don't think this is making the site way more toxic?
Go ahead, tell me what these 'posters' were like. None of you have in your responses to me, after all.

100% agree
I came here for the gaming discussion. Not interested in any of the other stuff
It's not impossible, but it does happen, but it's still really weird. If it was just the accusation and EL's past history, I would have been all for a good dogpile. But in this case, there's enough doubt that I can only withhold judgement. It's possible she exaggerated the event. It's possible it happened exactly as is. But with what we know right now, I can't pass a verdict.
As the other guy said, admitting to shitposting isn't really better.

Read the thread the source for that garbage story about revenge porn was posted. Or don't. Either way I'm more or less fine leaving this discussion alone. It's pretty clear you're a person who had bad things happened in her life but chose to exploit it for arguments in the worst possible way and I don't want to dignify that any further with replies.

whats the url for the site
You're right, so much GG shit.
It's what Evilore stood for. Remember turning the logo rainbow? It's obvious that the liberal politics were cultivated by Evilore and it's hilariously hypocritical of him to turn his back on them now that they're biting him on the ass.

It's sad knowing a site for its anti-GG, anti-sexism stances is totally cool with sexual abuse. This site is just as bad or worse than GamerGate now.

Yeah like the Avengers, if the Avengers only fought to forcibly shut anyone up that dares to offer a different opinion.

Offer an opinion right now that you felt you couldn't before. Go ahead, no need to be a coward.

You asked why I wanted to know more, I answered honestly. I'm not ashamed of what happened to me and I'm not using it as an argument. I'm just telling the truth.

I believe you mean Emily Rogers, but yeah. Solid list.
Protip: "Different" here means sexist, racist, etc.
The OP mentions witnesses
Off-topic was great
Made several science/philosophy threads with great feedback. Closing (even temporarily) it is such a huge mistake.

Yepp. I can see users there being stigmatized by the entire ResetEra community just for...good god, posting on both sites.
"Go back to GAF" will be the new "Go back to /pol/", lol.
I guess it highly depends on the threads you went to.
I had the same opinion as you. But seeing all these account-suicides now by people I don't remember, I guess they just had different interests than you and me.

This has nothing to do with the OT. Mods going on unwarranted banningsprees because you woke up on the wrong side of bed has nothing to do with the OT.
Yeah, don't get it either. "Pics that make you laugh" was the most innocent place on Gaf.
Lots of doggo luv...

Correction, shutting anyone up who had horrible racist/sexist/transphobic opinions
Which just happen to coincide with conservatives in general because shockingly that's what conservatives believe in and vote for
Stop pretending politics is just politics and doesn't interact with gaming. Gaming is highly political, media in general is political.

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised that society has formed into these two tribal factions factions, I just wish for the sake of accuracy this faction wouldn't pretend to call itself liberal or left wing. It's a tribe and nothing more, and if you disagree with any detail of that tribes world view then you are by definition a member of the other tribe, the alt-right. Any existence of debate outside of that dichotomy is totally alien to them.
In fact, if you even make an argument they don't understand, which happens worryingly often for a group of people who claim to be so deeply politically aware, then that alone is enough to brand you heretical.

It really doesn't. Most people use the term for convenience to brand a very vocal minority of people who generate hysteria of issues that do not warrant hysteria. Like it or not that term exists and perfectly suits a sub-section of people who act in a parochial and condescending manner to people who usually don't deserve to be treated that way at all. Usually someone asking a question or going slightly against the grain. Please note - most people who are victims of shitty SJW behaviour are other liberals.
Also don't tell people what they look like subjectively. It's not cool.

Half of the threads were about Trump and half of the posts in those threads were 'Fuck Trump'. I was not really a fan of GAF OT, except for FootyGAF which was pretty awesome.
I agree fully. Doesn't look good Evilore. Orwellian.Off-topic was great

I posted this earlier, but it was the last post of a page, so I'm not sure if people saw it.
How would you guys feel about a Hall of Infamy thread? People are always angered at being banned or suspended without any reason or any real justification. The thread is where mods that ban a user have to post the ban, the evidence and why.
I've seen people swear they banned for no reason, only to look up their last posts and see that the ban was entirely justified.
It adds the transparency we were and are currently missing.

So nuking OT is the solution for the ordeal of this past week...The likes of Stalin and Hitler would be proud.
How is it that a site who pride itself of being democratic, civilised and liberal can be ok with this situation? Can't people see the hypocrisie of it? Suddenly the mob that burned witches without listening to their version of the story is the same mob that is waiting for all the facts.
Well I don't know all the facts but the fact that Evilore doesn't deny the story is pretty telling and after reading this interview with the two...
https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/art...ct-allegations-rocking-neogafs-last-48-hoursd
...I think you guys have some issues and should talk about it or at least have your lawyers talk about it.
For anyone who thinks that things will be alright and everything will be the same...they won't. The admin should have passed the administration of the forum to someone else until everything was cleared up, the amirox situation should have been dealt a long time ago when the individual in question robbed money from some users to buy drugs. I don't know how the hell amirox managed to maintain his account after that strike one and Evilore telling people that he didn't know amirox's real name, when he clearly did, while banning members for just mentioning the situation was pretty shitty.
It's a shame that the actions of an individual tainted and destroyed this community and I pity the individuals that treated the forum as a second home and use it as a friend who listened.

All the toxic parts of OT and all the alt-right and 4chan trolls? Man that place is going to be a hellhole for a couple weeks. I really hope they get that stuff handled fast or it's going to have a hard time.
It's really fucking shitty but 'cmon. Stalin and Hitler wouldn't give a fuck about NeoGAF.

Buahaahahaha don't make me laugh.
I'm not brushing anything under the carpet, you mentioned one thing in that post so I said 'one thing'.
I don't know what went down between these 2 but you seem desperate to use anything to discredit this girl while handwaving away anything negative about his past.
Unless you've been sexually harassed yourself you can't say how people should react to it/conduct relationships afterwards... but then again even if you have been sexually harassed before people react to things differently so I don't know why you're so 'certain' of the rarity of how things play out afterwards.

I believe him as she had a sexual relationship with him later after the shower incident. She was not forced into having a relationship with him.If she truly felt disgusted by this incident she would have ran as far away from him as she could. She just looking for attention.

Either way, Laura Kate Shyte or Emily Rogers, those are two excellent reasons to stay away.
Why would you want the bedrock of reboner era to be formed on top of bullshit artists?
I don't know, he is pretty indefensible. I think it also important to emphasize that there are idiots on the left. However there were pretty brilliant posters whom certainly have helped me become a more progressive person.
I have no idea personally but everyone is claiming all (or at least almost all) of the mods left.

Congrats, if poligaf was still up and you sourced some of what you're claiming, you wouldn't have been banned.
