i just can't process the thought that there's a group of people out there, posting presumably from some form of western democractic society, for whom the idea of villainising the nazis is beyond the pale
what the actual fuck

wolfenstein: the new order is one of my favourite games of the last few years, will enjoy playing the sequel while savouring the thought that nazi snowflakes are getting all bent out of shape about it

next let's find out what a nazi thinks of schindler's list.
who the fuck cares what they think? did we interview them when the last 10 Wolfenstein games came out?
now we have these stories actually giving them more of a media presence. how is that helping?

the idea is not that these tweets show us what nazis think about wolfenstein
the idea, i think, is that these tweets show us how many unassuming nazis there are out there

Look at the comments at any news article about the Wolfenstein ad campaign and you'll quickly see that it IS actually a bold move to take a stand against Nazis in 2017. which is all kinds of pathetic and scary.

Prolific and popular gaming forum NeoGAF (formerly the Gaming Age Forums, founded in 2006) is currently offline at the time of writing, and it might not be coming back this time.In the wake of some very serious allegations of sexual harassment (captured here on Imgur, with names removed) levelled at site-owner Tyler 'Evilore' Malka, at least 11 site administration and moderation staff have stepped up and walked out in a show of solidarity with the accuser, taking many of the site's regular users with them.The allegations against Malka carry additional weight, due to claims from the man himself, posted on NeoGAF back in 2012 that he has treated women in a far less-than-gentlemanly fashion. Joining the admin/moderation stuff, NeoGAF's community is scattering far and wide, with some other major games forums seeing mass sign-ups in the past few hours, with Waypoint in particular seeing a large number of arrivals welcomed with open arms.

― bob lefse (rushomancy), Sunday, 22 October 2017 18:23 (six years ago) link
weird yeah that was a big forum w lots of industry posters. it could be a very censorship heavy place, run by some power mad Holier Than Thou mods. towards the end it seemed to get more and more social justicey (the Weinstein stuff as well as a bunch of videogame-related stuff getting a lot of attention). of course this kind of thing would collapse such a place lol. out with the creeps.

fwiw i was permabanned from that place for reviving a 5 year old thread on Yoko Ono when i should have started a new one. no warning, just a ban w a smug message about getting rid of me forever.

i lurked to catch gaming news that i might have missed, was never interested in posting there. amazing really how such a big site can crumble overnight though. like rushomancy’s wife i’m wondering where to quickly get my gaming news now!

Neogaf had its fair share of stupidity, but a sort of common decency as a basic norm meant it was far better than any other mega huge video games board. I used it, it was my place for news, I followed some discussions, contributed at times. That's unfathomable for reddit or ign boards or whatever.
Hope the dick in charge reads the situation and gives this thing over to someone else so I don't have to look at gaming communities.

lol xp ilx is like the only internet forum where reviving old threads is considered more polite than making new ones, everywhere else I've posted its considered something akin to trolling to bump a year+ old thread even if you mean well

But I read this news and I'm like, what the hell is neogaf?
― bamcquern, Monday, 23 October 2017 21:07 (six years ago) link
Perhaps, but I'd wish instead we could give people a second chance? Or at least accept that when people are teenagers/YA's they say dumb stuff (which 100% of them) which cannot be carried after the person forever. Which is *not* to dismiss his remarks, at all, but the greediness in the search to nail people doesn't sit well with me either.

The "new neogaf" or "neo neogaf" if you will, Resetera, is live, although registration is initially done in waves https://www.resetera.com/
Some former neogaf people and some others are running it, mostly neogaf users flocking over there right now. Should be the place to migrate to.
Malka (the guy implicated) has opened up neogaf again as a games-only forum, doubling down on his assholery and even checking people's personal messages to censor links to the new place. lol. That place is dead to any sensible user.
