Get fucked, NeoGAF. You deserve to burn.

Any time I saw something THAT wild on that board there were people who were like 'wtf you talking about' lol. Not defending the site as a whole but generalizing the entire user base to be like that nutjob in your image is disingenuous.

That absolutely is how the site and its users were. I've seen hundreds of NeoGAF screenshots that read just like that, while showing multiple replies agreeing with and reinforcing whatever lunacy had been spouted, and without a doubt any post trying to reason against said lunacy had that nice little (Banned) under the name.
NeoGAF didn't get its reputation for no reason. It wasn't the victim of some massive propaganda campaign spanning half a decade with the purpose of making them out to be insane liberal zealots. That's how they were, and they reaped what they sowed.

Lmao, they all quit in solidarity with no actual evidence of the allegations against their owner and they're running with the slogan "believe women"? Yeah, good fucking riddance. Not saying you shouldn't take these allegations seriously but you shouldn't start pointing fingers until there's actually proof. Just taking their word for it when it's a public figure involved is a fucking joke.

They're probably reacting that way because this isn't the first accusation of sexual misconduct against him.
He has a history of this shit and its finally reached its boiling point.


Except it doesn't affect them. It's a gaming website, the actions of the owner are inconsequential to the functioning of the site, but they turned it into an extreme left echo chamber so of course they have to defend their image.

If SBallen was accused of trying to feel up a drink girl in a shower would this site cannibalize itself too over it, or would we just laugh at him and make memes about It? The NEOGAFers here would have a hissy fit, but then be ignored.


We would have CBS take it away from him and meme it the fuck up...He doesn't own the site just runs it.

Yup. Remember the Scribblenauts impression from E3 2009? One of the most hype posts of all time (even though the first game was kinda disappointing).

I had played all the big titles at E3. Private showings of God of War III, Heavy Rain, Alan Wake. But at 4:00 on Thursday, I was wandering around the show floor, wondering what else I had to see. I saw a small little booth for "Scribblenauts!" in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment section. I mean, who goes to that booth? But I remember hearing about it on GAF, and so I decided to check it out.

Best game of E3? Without a fucking doubt. Anyone who says otherwise did not play Scribblenauts. Best game of all time? Jesus Christ, I don't know, maybe. It's a game that challenges your IMAGINATION. No other game has ever done that.

So listen to this story. I was in the early levels; I didn't quite have an idea of how ridiculously in-depth the database was. I was summoning things like ladders, glasses of water, rayguns, what have you. But I reached a level with zombie robots, and the zombie robots kept killing me. Rayguns didn't work, a torch didn't work, a pickaxe didn't work. In my frustration, I wrote in "Time Machine". And one popped up. What the fuck? A smile dawned on my face. I hopped in, and the option was given to me to either travel to the past or the future. I chose past. When I hopped out, there were fucking dinosaurs walking around. I clicked one, and realized I could RIDE THEM. So I hopped on a fucking DINOSAUR, traveled back to the present, and stomped the shit out of robot zombies. Did you just read that sentence? Did you really? I FUCKING TRAVELED THROUGH TIME AND JUMPED ON A DINOSAUR AND USED IT TO KILL MOTHERFUCKING ROBOT ZOMBIES. This game is unbelievable. Impossible. There's nothing you can't do.

Holy fucking shit.

Yeah stuff like that was great. And when Final Fantasy XIII was announced for Xbox 360

Square just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase FFXIII for either system, nor will they purchase any of Square's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel FFXIII for Xbox 360 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

To be fair his description of that character was spot on. She existed solely as a the big boobed submissive shy fanservice girl that occasionally got her boobs groped

That said it's pretty weird that he went into such detail and broke it down like that >_>. I don't really give it much thought other than "Oh this trope again"

Just shows you how he thinks, judgmental as fuck assuming it was all based on character design, nice little window into how they more than likely view actual people too.

He's criticizing the character design, which is important in..everything. And yeah, the character in that picture is of an incredibly generic, stereotypical design. I wouldn't sit there and think about all of those points because I'd get bored of doing that, but I'd roll my eyes before scrolling onward. With the points laid out like he does, yeah, I'd agree with every one of them about that design.

Evilore's response to his mod team before this went viral which is being deleted whenever posted on GAF:

Okay, so, this is a personal and somewhat complex web of nonsense involving a highly unstable individual I was friends and briefly FWBs with, but I can only assume there will be a never-ending clusterfuck on gaf now until the end of time, which inevitably involves you guys and gals on the mod team in some way, so I'm an open book here. The woman in question ended up being completely psychotic and held a grudge against me after a bizarre love triangle situation developed a few years ago between me, her, and another girl (the other girl I ended up in a long-term relationship with shortly thereafter). This NOLA story she apparently just put up on social media is a delusion of a deeply disturbed person who had a total psychological breakdown as a result of me and the other girl getting together, because she (phew, yeah...) became obsessively infatuated with the other girl (she's bi) on sight when the three of us met up. I wanted to just stay friends with the girl making the accusation and made it super super clear ahead of time that me and the other girl were interested in each other romantically and that could play out as such when we met up. Supposedly this was not a problem for her from accusation, but in reality she uhhh wanted me to die painfully after seeing me and the other girl interact. Plus she became infatuated with the other girl simultaneously to this (she's bi), which created the aforementioned bizarre love triangle that ended up causing her to implode and have an apparently very intense and long-lasting grudge. The whole story about how that love triangle thing played out is, frankly, nuts and scary, and involves this girl bringing us to a compound of dangerous scientology spinoff cultists on that same trip, who roofied us, attempted to recruit/scam me and attempted to abduct/rape the girl I ended up dating, in what was a fucking scary situation that resulted in me and the other girl and the rest of my friend circle never speaking to this girl from the accusation again.

It's not that they feel attacked, it's that lunatics are attacking their hobby with a politically driven agenda and they feel the need to defend it and rightly so."Progressives" infested the comic books industry and ravaged it like a hurricane. Sales are in the trash and their fans abandoned them in droves. We will not let video games suffer the same fate because you need another platform to virtue signal from.

Sales are in the trash and their fans abandoned them in droves. We will not let video games suffer the same fate because you need another platform to virtue signal from.

Oh is that why comic book sales are in the trash? It's not like printed media in general is suffering, right? It's definitely the evil SJWs who just want to ruin everything for no good reason.

Comicbook sales are crap because they're over-produced, and thus overpriced.
$5 for 30 pages of glossy paper and computer-shaded illustrations is what's killing the industry. Alleged "progressivism" has been going on since roughly forever, initially as an attempt to subvert the Comics Code.

Makes sense. I think I've heard this before. But IIRC even manga sales are dropping and those aren't over-produced or over-priced.
