History is far from over, and liberal democracies now face greater challenges than they have in generations. As their aging populations grow ever more jaded and cynical, only a few exceptional souls are willing to risk everything in the age-old struggle between enlightenment and barbarism... BAN SEXIST VIVEO GAMES Such insight, strength and courage would be wasted on mere terrorists.

They were technically proficient in their craft. They both invented countless cinematography techniques that are still in use today. Whether or not you like their film, they were truly technical masters of the craft of film making. The anti-GG crowd are blinded by hipsterism. They think someone with a cuitural studies degree (and no technical skills) can jump in and make games with the best of them. This simply isn't true. Games are at least as technical a craft, if not more so than film-making. But the result of this studies degreel why dont people think my games are goodi) is blaming the failings on In "N Out Chef 10/05/14 (Sun) 17:3046 ID: 51262b No.55741 247122 You're not wrong. I didn't mean to imply that they weren't important for their contributions to the craft, but as far as the rest of the world goes.. Well, they remember that Rosebud line and they remember the silly outits the Droogs wore. Cultural icons they may be, but their actual messages and complex themes are forgotten or Wells and Kubrick's contibutions to the art of film making could be compared to Corrinne Yu's contributions to Direct3D and DirectX leading to gaming developing the way it did. Hugely important, but society and the audience at large may only know them acknowledge the few people you everything about modern media to. In 'N Out Chef 10/05/14 (Sun) 17:51:38 ID: 024358 No 55808 255678 >The anti-GG crowd are blinded by hipsterism. They think someone with a cultural studies degree (and no technical skills) can jump in and make games with the best of them. This simply isn't true.

Never buy the b------- that the people who want s on f------ Shakespeare are t In 'N Out Chef 1006/14 (Mon) 00.03.19 ID ac031e No 57122 Sometimes themes, humor and morals get lost over time and between different cultures Its why I get kind of fussy about people worrying more about getting across a lesson or a theme over having a good, internally consistent story that is technically proficient. If you f--- up the execution, no one will want to read/play/watch your story People will read into your stories and see themes that you might not have intended, or might be the complete opposite of what you had in mind. You cant stop someone from making that kind of conclusion without outright saying it or bashing it over people's If you do the first, then someone will come in and say that you, the creator, are wrong about your own work and intentions in writing it, and if you do the second then you cheapen t This is a glimpse into the cultural angle surrounding GamerGate. A few well spoken Anons weigh in with an eloquence we don't often see reblogged from image board culture These are screenshots from a riveting thread going on at 8chan right now in regards to Academia regulating cultural expression. Since the destination of everything on 8chan is the aether I thought I'd save it and share it. The speculation Peach Anon has about the intrusion of Academia by what they call "radfem" comes from the fact that the 14 "gamers are dead" articles cite feminist academic work discussing hegemony (yeah I had to look it up too) in Gaming culture. The reality is the Academic who came up with the notion probably didn't intend for it to be used the way it was when it was. But it sparked some interesting post-mortems, Like, can and should academics regulate culture, if so is journalism an appropriate weapon to deliver the researched paper, Will we reach the same problem we have with pharmaceutical research that sometimes is vaguely aimed at selling a Before I conclude with my two cents l'd like to state that I don't agree with everything above, but the salient sentiment about how we shouldn't regulate art and story telling for the greater morality of society is one that I do side with as an advocate of free expression. As someone who's internet life is on the cultural "boundary", it has been eye opening watching both sides of the isle duke it out ideologically. And how apparent it is from reading all this, that video games simply are a dressing to a much wider discussion. One that our generation has needed to have for a tew years. Like a location in Street Fighter, video games are just the backdrop The idea that nobody really understands Clockwork Orange or Citizen Kane but the work of Kubrick and Wells are what we thank for modern film making is an interesting one. Much like Corrinne Yu is a woman nobody knows, but without her Halo wouldn't be possible. The argument then boils down to something like,-like video games, most art isjust piss in the wind " This might be true, but each drop is a donation into the pool of ideas To use Depression Quest as an example of a game that will probably be forgotten in a few months, and one that might actually not be a fair representation of all the realities of Depression, it does play with some interesting concepts. Mainly, the one Visual Novel fans and developers have been trying to get across for years: you can experience someone else's life interactively. Not new for some. But for those of us who aren't really into Japanese stuff, maybe it can serve as a jumping off point for a more ambitious It's these sparks I think, that artists can take with them to create things organically through their own agency.

They were technically proficient in their craft. They both invented countless cinematography techniques that are still in use today. Whether or not you like their film, they were truly technical masters of the craft of film making. The anti-GG crowd are blinded by hipsterism. They think someone with a cuitural studies degree (and no technical skills) can jump in and make games with the best of them. This simply isn't true.

I didn't mean to imply that they weren't important for their contributions to the craft, but as far as the rest of the world goes.. Well, they remember that Rosebud line and they remember the silly outits the Droogs wore. Cultural icons they may be, but their actual messages and complex themes are forgotten or Wells and Kubrick's contibutions to the art of film making could be compared to Corrinne Yu's contributions to Direct3D and DirectX leading to gaming developing the way it did. Hugely important, but society and the audience at large may only know them acknowledge the few people you everything about modern media to.

A few well spoken Anons weigh in with an eloquence we don't often see reblogged from image board culture These are screenshots from a riveting thread going on at 8chan right now in regards to Academia regulating cultural expression. Since the destination of everything on 8chan is the aether I thought I'd save it and share it. The speculation Peach Anon has about the intrusion of Academia by what they call "radfem" comes from the fact that the 14 "gamers are dead" articles cite feminist academic work discussing hegemony (yeah I had to look it up too) in Gaming culture. The reality is the Academic who came up with the notion probably didn't intend for it to be used the way it was when it was. But it sparked some interesting post-mortems, Like, can and should academics regulate culture, if so is journalism an appropriate weapon to deliver the researched paper, Will we reach the same problem we have with pharmaceutical research that sometimes is vaguely aimed at selling a Before I conclude with my two cents l'd like to state that I don't agree with everything above, but the salient sentiment about how we shouldn't regulate art and story telling for the greater morality of society is one that I do side with as an advocate of free expression. As someone who's internet life is on the cultural "boundary", it has been eye opening watching both sides of the isle duke it out ideologically. And how apparent it is from reading all this, that video games simply are a dressing to a much wider discussion. One that our generation has needed to have for a tew years. Like a location in Street Fighter, video games are just the backdrop The idea that nobody really understands Clockwork Orange or Citizen Kane but the work of Kubrick and Wells are what we thank for modern film making is an interesting one. Much like Corrinne Yu is a woman nobody knows, but without her Halo wouldn't be possible. The argument then boils down to something like,-like video games, most art isjust piss in the wind " This might be true, but each drop is a donation into the pool of ideas To use Depression Quest as an example of a game that will probably be forgotten in a few months, and one that might actually not be a fair representation of all the realities of Depression, it does play with some interesting concepts. Mainly, the one Visual Novel fans and developers have been trying to get across for years: you can experience someone else's life interactively. Not new for some. But for those of us who aren't really into Japanese stuff, maybe it can serve as a jumping off point for a more ambitious It's these sparks I think, that artists can take with them to create things organically through their own agency. Academic circles may raise valid questions about the AAA popcorn-flick side of video games, but like lifelong gamers have learned the nuance is buried in the little pieces and the little Using Japanese games and Western games as an example of where very different cultures are sharing ideas with each other through video games peacefully and constructively, so too l think can other schools of thought academic, ideological, identity politics, or otherwise.

NeoGAF user criticizes the moderators for their SJW bias, gets permanently banned within minutes

NeoGAF BELIEVE Closed Thread GAMING OFF-TOPIC ommunity NeoGAF is a shell of it's former self (Please read before posting) SirPainsalot Banned Today, 05:15 AM) NeoGAF is a shell of it's former self (Please read before posting) Note: Read the thread before posting some snarky/dismissive reply Let me preface this by saying Ive heavily lurked GAF since around 2008 (can't remember the exact date). I got an account in 2013 pretty much solely for the additional features, like being able to browse profiles and the archives. The only time I actually posted was in this past week or so, when 've been mass posting some really low quality content across the forum in order to gain member privileges, so l apologize for that. And I genuinely enjoyed my time here lurking up until around 2012. There were a few issues sure, console wars are always a problem, but for the most part the forum was fairly decent up until now. However for the past few years the forum has been going to complete s---, and unfortunately, any criticism Ive seen either gets ignored completely or has very little affect on the way the forum gets run. And now it's reached a boiling point For starters, the fanboyism here is out of control now. There's no excuse for stuff like the Uncharted 3 review debacle and the digital foundry threads. A prime example of this sort of s--- is almost every thread about "The Order: 1886." They're always filled to the brim with users stating "Whatever! I still think it'll be awesome! Why do you have to troll and s--- up a thread?1?" in response (mostly) valid criticism. Hell, the these days on GAF, with the latest dedicated thread become more and more vicious towards those holding dissenting opinions s even a "hype" thread created with the sole purpose of stifling criticism and hyping up the title. This is basically the case for almost every major rele Moving on, the quality of posts is absolutely horrible as well. Snarky drive-bys and overly passive-aggressive posts are some of the absolute worst and infest the forum, it seems like people care more about trying to get a good "zinger" in instead of actually discussing the topics at hand. And while Gifs are great here and there, posting a condescending tumblr gif instead of actually rebutting to someone's argument is something that's commonplace here. And the thing about all of this is, thes attempt to curb them. Beseda said a few days ago that low quality posts such as "Agreed" or "This" would be bannable now. Well, I'm sure glad to see that rule is being enforced thoroughly. This point ties into my complaint about the lack of a report system, but more on that later on. s have been brought up repeatedly and very little action has been made in an But moving onto the moderation now. Oh boy, where do I even start? With a owner who seems to be more focused on sick burns and snark rather than actually contributing the community, we're surely off to a fine start. One example I want to bring up, in particular, is of Evilore completely dismissing someone's opinion, banning them, and telling him to f--- off all for being a brony. Now I'm not particularly fond of bronies either. However, banning someone solely because theyre a brony and telling them to "klop on another site" is downright abhorrent, especially from the owner of the entire site. Thankfully it seems Tenumi has been unbanned However, it's safe to assume this only occurred because the image went somewhat viral and sparked a bit of an outrage. And this isn't even getting into the sexual assault, blatent sexism and the allegations of selling a user's content without their consent, and then proceeding to change the TOS afterwards As for the moderators, the problem is the "holier than thou" attitude Ive seen come from them. A significant margin of posts from moderators always seem to "one up" regular users. And I don't mean in terms of quality, I mean in terms of "My opinion is better than yours" type of thing. It's hard to point to specific examples since it's an overall attitude, but I'm not the only one who's noticed this. It's also clear that a a fair chunk of the moderators have certain agendas and that's respectfully fine, there's nothing wrong with having agenda by itself. However, when you start actively pushing your agenda by silencing those you disagree with, that's crossing the line. For instance, when users like Lime only get a 2 week slap on the wrist for calling a person she disagreed with a house n-----, while people like Arsalan get permabanned for "not being a good fit for gaf", there's a problem. This is just the tip of the ice berg. Actions like this have been going on for years now and it's been getting downright insulting. Also, let me say that this doesn't apply to every mod on the site. There's a few very cool and chill guys who aren't related to this at all And I've been trying my best to avoid the GamerGate stuff here (the whole thing's a complete mess with idiots on both sides), but that thread is an utter disaster. Kudos to GAF for actually allowing discussion in the end, but I implore you to read through the first 20 pages in that thread and take note of the banned users and what their opinion of Gamergate is. I don't agree with some of the stuff they said either, but most of them were breaking any rules in the slightest. Disagreeing with someone doesn't give the moderators legitimate excuse to ban them. And because of that, the thread is a giant echo-chamber/hugbox. If you want an example, just read through my posts from a few days ago. Personal opinions aside, it's telling that literally nobody in that thread shared similar views in the slightest and that I was hounded upon by almost every single member participating in that thread. Hell, I even got a PM from one user saying should stop posting because, if I continued, I would probably get banned since everyone with a dissenting opinion either got banned or is afraid to post. Also, The Fine Young Capitalists getting their GAF account rejected is a little suspicious, considering in all my years lurking here I've never heard of someone getting their account flat out rejected s through the support email I know one of the first things people are going to say is "if you have a problem, just email them instead of taking it here." And in fact, I have brought up similar is However, Ive never received a single reply, and after EviLore openly mocked and posted the personal information of users who sent in emails, let's just say I'm little hesitant to do so again. And while I could PM the moderators, these complaints would fall on deaf ears no doubt. And the next thing people are going to say is "well you're bitching about all these problems but have no solutions."Well in fact, I actually wrote up some suggestions below. These are just some bare minimum suggestions, just scratching the surface of the underlying problems this forum has Completely fixing GAF would be a monumental task, but you gotta start somewhere Moderators and admins need to improve, drastically. Forcing your own personal agendas onto users by banning them is completely biased and idotic. And this needs to get repeated again someone gets a 2 week slap on the wrist for outright racism while someone else gets permanently banned under the vague condition of "not being a good fit for gaf" after posting disagreeable statements. Not to mention the constant attempts of shitposting and "sick burns" also contribute nothing to this forum. And while I realize objective moderation is impossible any improve ment would be better than what it's like now . Crack down hard on fanboyism and low quality posts. There's no excuse as to why the first pages of topics are always filled with "zingers" alongside low quality, condescending gifs in reply to actual discussion. Digital foundry threads are a f------ mess and review threads for big-name releases almost always turn into something vicious (ust look at the Destiny stuf) . Remove moderators/admin titles (AKA the red names) from posts that aren't related to moderation. Reddit does this with their moderators and it works out great, no parroting around replacement, mods/admins shouldn't have to hide behind an anonymous face someone's opinion/giving their opinion a special focus solely because they're a moderator. Modbot is get their action across, they should be held accountable if they screw u Implement an actual report system.
