its actually about caca and pee pee in gamer culture


science fact: caca and pee pee in a petri dish is a culture of sorts, much like being a valiant gamer

Because the "other side" is being given carte blanche to post basically whatever they want on this parade of stupid, even stuff 100% concretely proven wrong. The current rule is "no gamergate, gently caress off". It should be enforced or scrapped.

I'll take either, and was fine with it being banned entirely.

Any of y'all ever go back to your home town and see that person who never left after high school?
They're still living in the same house, wearing the same clothes, telling the same stories and whenever you come around they make the same in-jokes that stopped being funny ten years ago because you went off and made new friends and learned new things.

They spend all night talking about how good things were back then, how much simpler everything was, even though everything still seems pretty simple to them. They also make some off-color comments but you don't mention it because you're only seeing this person for like a night and you're not trying to make any friction.

Extend the rule to any discussions of Zoe Quinn or Gamergate, no matter how tangential. Paint the punishments with a broad brush here.

Both of them are so linked together that just talking about one is going to lead to the other regardless of how "isolated" it is and seems to be a very obvious and sad rule loophole.

I support this. OP should be punished, too, imo.

almost every probation on OP's rapsheet is for either gamergate poo poo or "X group of people are subhuman" posts, OP you are a very bad poster and should probably just take this poo poo to 8chan or resetera or somewhere else where it'll get a better reception.

Also maybe re-read your opening argument because it kiiiind of looks like the only weird creep in the image is the guy being accused of crashing a game developer's wedding.

Hello, as a Games mod I would like to clarify the MeToo thread that you are bringing up.

The Gamergate rule was put in place at the time due to any uttering of it bringing out some terrible posters. These posters would use gamgergate as an excuse to say some pretty hateful pieces and it would wreck any thread it happened to crop up in for a while. Gamergate is a touchy subject due to what it implies more than outright states. Often the claim is that it is about ethics in journalism because that provides those with an alt-right axe to grind something innocent to hide behind.

We do not want alt-right people posting on this message board. We do not want to tolerate them and their insidious nature.

The metoo thread involves Zoe Quinn due to the nature of the recent events involving her, a number of other women, and a developer. People are rightfully going to involve talking about her in it as her coming forward allowed other women to feel confident in doing so.

The thread is a place to discuss it civilly. Naturally some of the topic breaches into Gamergate as this whole thing has been brewing about it. It currently is the only place in Games (along with the NITW thread due to the developer of that being a focal point) where the mods and I are monitoring carefully to ensure those same gamergate alt-right talking points do not bleed over.

We are being very strict with moderation in both threads and based on your (as in any poster wishing to post) contributions you will at minimum receive a week probe should you not approach the topic sensibly.

I don't think this is a fair approach to the matter. You're allowing people to repeat lies and claims that have no basis in truth in relationship to gamergate "of old". Its not even " keep it to the most recent events" its full on allowing people to discuss gamergate events in a false manner.

Would I be allowed to post the image in the OP? Its a claim of sexual wrongdoing, and the thread is named after the #metoo movement. It encompasses sexual wrongdoing in gaming.

I also don't like the emphasis of alt right in your post, I'm a liberal, Im a registered democrat (i dont vote them down the ballot though) and in primaries and volunteer around election time. The way you phrase it is clear to imply that the things I'm talking about are without merit or part of some weird political drudgery. The only poo poo I'm non liberal on are gun rights and a few non major issues.

That aside, I legitimately think is a bad decision. She's hurt transgendered individuals, her partners (excluding 'suicide guy'), and smeared other people.

Sometimes Lowtax steps in for an executive decision, theres a chance he just nukes the thread, or bans me, or nukes the thread and bans me. Or doesn't do anything and just laughs at me. I feel like its worth rolling the dice when the thread is basically treated as a gamergate expansion pack except no truth allowed.

An abuser who has sexually harassed people, gaslighted and abused partners, and scammed trans employees out of money owed should not be immune from being called out. So yes, I hate her, because she is an abusive wretch of a person who is treated as a hero by loving internet losers.

Every person who endorses her version of events loves spousal/partner abuse, gas lighting, and hates transgender individuals.

Or "Zoe Quinn" I don't give a gently caress. Punish anybody tangentially though totally-not-talking-about either of them like what the OP is doing right now IMO.

Best way is probably to make a post in both GBA and FYAD stating your intent. Signal boost by using the ATTENTION or BAN ME tags. If you include an inline image of the goatman in the OP he is sure to come and rule in your favor.
