People here are not banned for being conservative. They are not banned for being liberal. They are not banned for being socialist. We do not doxx people. We do not insult them, promote their death, harass, or celebrate the misfortunes of others based on their immutable characteristics. We primarily talk about video games, with some forays into popular culture and politics, though both are completely optional and hidden in their own subforums.
The reality is, most people here are adults from all walks of life. LGBT, straight, white, black, asian, young adult, middle-aged, twilight years, muslim, christian, conservative, liberal, etc. We are all equally worthless here and we all have one thing in common: the love of video games. Most people here do not give a rat's arse about politics and especially don't like it when it is used to push political agendas. NOTE: This is not the same as games having politically inspired plots, such as the kind you would see in a Hideo Kojima release. This particular point is important to state as certain folks try to purposefully misconstrue the "no politics in gaming" as being the latter, when it has always been the former. Do things get heated? Of course they do. Put a group of people who are truly passionate about anything in a room and there will be heated arguments, debates, and discussions.
What
@bigol has stated is partially true, but not for the reasons they so desperately want it to be. There is a primary target against "left-wing" and SJWs around here. The "left-wing" in this case being the authoritarian left, not the general left which many posters have been shown to be. There is an ongoing culture war in the medium and one that has caused strife and prevented the visions of developers from being shown. "Journalists" such as Kotaku, Eurogamer, Polygon, and others have doxxed, harassed, and promoted attacks against their opponents, not based on the games but based on their own political tribes. They promote and utilize forums known for REAL racism, sexism, transphobia and defend notable members of the industry that have pushed people to suicide. They have demanded and succeeded in forcing developers and directors to change their vision of their product over perceived slights or non-existent attacks (such as the non-homophobic jokes in Persona 5, or Erika in Catherine). These are not "progressives", but simply an authoritarian cult that has taken the name for themselves. Just as had happened in Feminism.
There are definitely issues with NeoGAF. The pathetic and childish attempts at console-warring (seriously, some of you folks should go look at Matt's console wars thread). The over exaggerative "it's shit" attitude that tends to pervade topics (though that can also be linked to the console-warring tribes). The lack of love for small breasted women. However, the push against authoritarians and ignorant children playing slacktivist at their keyboards, preventing developers from releasing their visions? That is not one of them.
