For all members that choose to stay here at GAF, please be aware of how you can help. Here are some good resources to turn to when you know of an abuse or assault situation.

Assaulted Women's Helpline

Neighbours, Friends and Families

Stepping naked into a shower with a friend qualifies as assault when said friend wants no part of that interaction. Just an FYI.

"No" means "no", people. And the lack of a proper "yes" also means "no". Common sense but hey

Wasn't this just locked and the OP banned? What's going on?

Probably better not to ban people who have a dissenting voice.

Said friend had a relationship with the "assaulter" right after that.

so what is going on here

Let me tell you a story about what happens when someone pushes someone into situations they don't want to be in, relives it in their head over and over, and has their current relationship shattered. Where do you turn?

Everyone keeps saying this shit, but they have zero context as to what it's like being on the other side.

And? Husbands can rape their wives you know? Doesn't make the incident any better.

Patronizing with a heaping dose of virtue signaling. This is the kind of shit that has made OT insufferable at times.

who the fuck would want to ~virtue signal~ on their anonymous account on a video game forum

I don't think you know what that phrase means.

And Malka called her mentally unstable after the fact to discredit her story.

Wow, look at all the amazing discourse that NewGAF is bringing us. So rational! So informative! So reasonable! So moderate!

What a fantastic post to make in a thread educating people about sexual harassment.

Providing resources to help women suffering abuse and assault is patronising and virtue signalling*, really?

So this is the direction GAF is going in these days, bodes well.

* I don't think you know what that term means to be honest.

This is what made it "insufferable"?

Thank you for your efforts, yyzjohn. It is important that people in need have access to, and knowledge of, such resources.

I've seen that phrase used more in the last 24 hours than I every have before on GAF. Along with a lot of unironic use of "SJW" and "Snowflakes."

It's clear where things are headed community-wise if it keeps up.

Damn straight. Banning someone for posting some resources about consent, resources that you would get AT ANY COLLEGE ORIENTATION, is ludicrous.

This is a deeply disturbing, malicious post.

Yeah, I've been content to wait about a week and see what things are like when the smoke clears... The initial fallout doesn't inspire confidence.

If you needed any reassurance the GAF will never be back for real, there's your proof.

How many times can you ban and unban someone in a single thread?

Like is this an internal power struggle of whether or not to ban someone?

Do you have a copy of the IC-21 (informed consent long form), I seem to have lost mine and have a date tonight.

Sounds like the "undercover mods" are having some disagreements behind the scenes
