Mario is so great!!!

When I was 15, I was making out with my then girlfriend, and I put my hands down her pants and grabbed her bare ass. I never got consent to do this. I think I may be a rapist as well.

I wonder if I unknowingly raped those girls over Tinder that came with me to my place over the last few weeks.
Maybe they really just wanted to drink an espresso after a long evening together at a bar and they just had "wardrobe malfunctions".

I'd like to start a thread over at Ree asking this.
Problem is they permabanned me for misogynist behaviour. :/

They really care about womens feelings there. They never actually touched one, but they care.

At the end of the day I think it should be Evilore's choice if people like this deserve a second chance. I can't imagine how horrible it must be being called a rapist by thousands of people, not even getting a chance to defend yourself.

Not to mention, during the meltdown, some people who new Evilore IRL were posting some pretty personal shit about him. He didn't deserve that. No one deserves that.

What was the meltdown and what happened anyway? I was seemingly banned from this place before it happened but I see it referenced all the time. A google search brings up the typical one sided reddit/twitter nonsense, is there something that explains it with less bias?

From what I remember, the woke monster that was created (much like on reseterrrra) turned against its master when the master was rumoured to have done something not woke.

Maybe it's time to come out with receipts to clear away all the lies and hearsay once and for all. Doesn't seem like it's ever going to end otherwise, and I'd like to close this garbage out and move on.

Engaging just gives them the attention they crave. People don’t care if it happened years ago, it’s a weapon crazies use and engaging with them is exactly what they want. It doesn’t matter if there’s evidence that proves otherwise, if there’s even an allegation or anything (even if it’s fake) the internet of 2020 will latch onto that and broadcast it as their weapon.

Evilore was accused of sexually harassing a woman. A lot of people went batshit insane and started spamming NeoGaf with inappropriate content (ie porn). Then the majority of the users fucked off to resetera. Then NeoGaf became a ghost town. That's a brief summary.

It's not fair what happened to Evilore, but this forum has become a much better place since then.

Up to you, of course. I'm sure some of us would be interested, but (and you probably already know this) don't expect anyone on the other side to be receptive or to change their mind. It's useless trying to persuade SJWs, third-wave feminists, white knights, and assorted simps -- they're convinced they know the truth, and they aren't going to allow their self-righteous certainty to be disturbed by facts.

I assume that when we're talking about giving scarlet or purple letters to people who've been booted out of Reee, we're talking about people who also have a history of shitty behavior here (e.g., been perma-banned from GAF in the past), right?

I'm someone who jumped to Reeee back in 2017, but returned about a year later, when I started to realize how poisonous SJW/PC stuff had become, and how infected that forum was with it. So I'd hate to stigmatize people who are coming from Reeee, just because that's where they came from. I think a lot of the increase in GAF membership over the past year has been people getting sick of Reeee and returning here. I don't have any history of misbehavior on GAF and was never banned or perma-banned.

So I'm just making sure we're talking about a small subset of people who have a previous history of shitty behavior on GAF, not just anyone who's leaving Reeee and coming here.

Personally I think this whole thing (creation of RE) was premeditated. If it wasn’t this event it would have been something else manufactured to get them what they wanted - access to GAF’s enormous revenue stream.

It’s hard to get closure when the other forum is still thriving with as many members as they have considering their gains were ill-gotten in the first place. In my mind we’ll have true closure when we stop having to talk about them here - maybe when we can close the RE thread in Communities because it’s no longer needed.

Honestly? I’m glad they’re gone. Let them have their insane asylum. I have my internet home back, and that’s something I never thought would happen.

We’re growing just fine, and more importantly, with mostly sane, normal people.

I think those people who account suicided here back then shouldn't be let back.

If those people were that feebleminded to have to act according to that stupid group think back then, I am not even sure why they think they are welcomed here at all again.

I left this place as well after a while, since this felt almost abandoned. And after a month of lurking at REE I got an account over there.
I never ever felt the need to account suicide here.

And that's the difference.

I like this place just as it is, like you it’s become my home on the Internet. Losing it would be upsetting.

I say forgive, it's the mature thing to do. The more the merrier, if the can behave that is. Otherwise just ban them if their behaviour seems to wish for it.

(still reading the thread & don't know all details...)
Quality >>>>>>>>> Quantity

Having more isn't better. So this bollocks saying I always hear "The more, the merrier" is fucking garbage because this is a forum and not a battlefield

Not fighting you mind you, just saying.
 
Forgiveness is what separates us from the extremists. You can even forgive someone who isn’t asking for it.

Hate doesn’t belong here. Whether it’s hate towards GAF, or coming from it. But lolz and silly shitposting does.

I won’t try to shoehorn baseball into this

I want him given a second chance and maybe he will stay humbled and contribute to the forum, which I don't see any negatives or risks with. I'll take quality and quantity.

I'm with Mista Mista on this one. The past two years are a record of how these Reeefugees behave after returning to GAF. The forum sometimes welcomes (just check the "Introduce yourself" thread) and sometimes heckles (like in the case of legacyzero). This depends on who was returning and depending on their attitude. There's nothing unreasonable about weeding out bad members through heckling. There's also the long list of examples of returning users who played nice for a bit but then starting going off the rails. We even have a few examples of returning users making a beeline to the ERA thread and insulting everyone to flame out. And then there's that one precious alt-user who kept coming in and declaring "Be warned, Alt-Right GAF! We are infiltrating you and will destroy you from within" or something hilarious like that.

I'm open-armed to anyone who returns or signs up to GAF. Some people seem hell-bent at burning up all their goodwill as quickly as possible, though, and I don't see why the community should tolerate a dull roar of screeching Reeeturnees that contribute nothing of value.

The level of narcissism is high in those who post that type of OP. If drunken shitposting? Maybe, I do it at times as well, but my level of douchiness doesn't reach anywhere near that level. Nor do most regular posters.

So Evilore is an alleged rapist. How is posting here on GAF supporting him? You're here to participate in discussions with fellow gamers, industry professionals etc, you're not here because of Evilore.
Some people really have some damn flawed logic. And I think he wasn't charged with anything, it's all allegations. So I can accuse your mom of being a crack whore and spread it all across facebook and internet. I will never prove that she's a crack whore but the damage is already done, all will think she is because I made an allegation.
So to summarize, Evilore is fine in my book until I see some real law charges. Even if I see criminal charges against him, I'd still be posting on the gaf because of the community.
A lot of men have been alleged for a lot of shit during the metoo mass psychosis. In Sweden, the media went crazy and blindly believed everything every woman said. And later, it was revealed that quite a few stories were made up in order to attack a man in a powerful position or as revenge. One man even took his life because of allegations which weren't even true.

I believe something when I see proof, not just empty words.

I agree. Alleged is pretty much innocent. When it's proven, then I'll believe.

Yeah, I never asked for an account suicide, either. I didn't share in the hysteria or outrage. I just figured, "Well, everyone is moving over there, so I guess I will, too." GAF had a history of being authoritarian in its moderation policies, and I figured it would be better over at Reee. Ha ha, yes I know. It took me a while before I figured out that the problem had just been transplanted, and somehow the transplant made things worse. It also took me a while before I saw the #metoo hysteria for what it was, and I realized in retrospect that Evilore was just another victim of it.

I actually ended up getting banned for two weeks at Reee because of "misogynistic commentary." I think I should get bonus points for that.

Really overestimating themselves.

It's Sweden, they're sick but no one listens. Like if resetera was its own country instead of forum. Always got to go extreme in every trend (refugee crisis, metoo, climate change/Greta...) A common question people ask that's not from here: "Is there a mental hospital nearby or something?" Make of that what you will, as it can be percieved in several ways.

What is happening these days is that peoples' tribunals are becoming more and more popular. Something spreads in social media, and when it has spread enough, people start to believe on the sole reason that so many others believe it. The very definition of mass psychosis. Metoo is a good example, the environment hystieria is another. That doesn't mean metoo or care about the environment is all bad, but the way these phenomenoms have played out are a disaster.

Metoo started out good, but quickly went down the drain with all the decade old and loose allegations and lies. The Greta hysteria is beyond ridicolous as this point, as no media is asking her though questions (why does she defend the Paris climate accord when it specifically says that China can do whatever it wants until 2030?).

In the end, people who are independent thinkers will come out on top. Greta is going to crash hard sooner or later, and I'm actually worried what it will do to her in the future. There are lots of people behind her that you never see who pull the strings.

Sweden mostly suffers from being full of cowards. No one dares to speak up, everyone is super afraid of confrontation, plus we have lived in a society where the government have had a lot of control over people's lives. Combine that with Swedes being the most secularized people in the world. A lot of liberal Swedes in Stockholm don't even see Sweden as its own country. Rather, they see it as an international hub where anyone can come. But even in Sweden, things are changing away from left wing liberalism. People outside of Stockholm are getting tired of all immigrant gangs raping, killing, shooting and bombing.

There are so many wrong things with Sweden it's impossible to cover everything in one post. But to sum it up with short words:

- Swedes are extreme cowards
- immigrants from arab countries are very dominant and far from cowards
- the police refuse to use violence to solve heavy crime, instead referring to inviting criminals leaders for pizza (no joke, it literally happened)
- there's a strong belief among left wing liberals that violence doesn't solve anything, and that dialogue must always be used (even when it hasn't worked for ten years)
- immigrants from arab countries have little to no respect for authorities, because they come from a clan culture where you solve all problems within the family
- Stockholm people have zero understanding how the rest of Sweden works
- immigrants who do behave (get a job, pay taxes, don't commit crime) are sent back to their home countries because of some small bullshit thing in the rules
- immigrants who hide from police or misbehave are rewarded with more resources
- same goes in school: bad kids are rewarded with more care and resources, good kids are not
- Sweden took in 1 million immigrants between 2010 and 2020. Our total population is now 10 million.

I could go on forever.

Tldr; Sweden deserves the situation we have now, but change is on the way.
