Someone PM'd me thread here about myself trying to explain things how they are in Russia when it comes to "gay propaganda". After reading few threads here I can't do anything but laugh at the irony, where thought police on neogaf is so brutal that people go here to vent there frustration under the false names. It's clear as day that disgruntled people on NeoGaf come here to vent their frustration. Else why I was sent the link (won't name the user).
I am a member since 2013, came there for game forum and E3 dank memes. Was really good place, since I didn't bother visiting off-topic. It all lasted until GamerGate when off-topic crowd that has nothing to do with gaming came to Gaming side to push their agenda. I mean I would understand if discussion was biased, but it came to the point where posters, good posters got banned just for voicing different point of view, being as polite as possible and then dog piled by people who have 10k+ messages in off-topic and that I never ever saw in gaming before GG thing. I think this is when industry workers bar few indi devs just GTFO from NeoGaf. You won't see anyone of importance there anymore, they are all inactive for months if not years. I guess it's natural flow of things, where people would flog towards more open formats like Reddit and such.
While I don't like whole tinfoil hat aspect of "Jews did it all" or straight racism from some people of this place, I get why people would be as racist as possible just to spite Neogaf off-topic community and to be that counter weight to toxic SJW culture and inability to accept any point of view other than their.
I don't really care about hiding my name, that's why I am posting with same username as on NeoGaf. It might be stupid to do so, but I don't really care. Also saw some people interested in this topic, so if you have any question about russian society without sugarcoating, you can ask me and I will try to provide no BS answers, even for NeoGaf I had to be as polite as possible since I know how ban-trigger happy some mods are in the discussions that concern "sensitive" topics.
Edit: Damn, that was fast, checked NeoGaf and I got a ban, I am not sure if someone saw me here and banned, or if it's just a ban from Putin interview discussion unrelated to me showing up here, but I visited Gaf couple of hours ago and I wasn't banned yet. It's not perma-ban, but 1 months one saying next one will be permanent. Unless they change to permanent, I guess will fuck off from Off-topic and let some people there enjoy their echo-chambers.

That wasn't my intention, I don't even know the guy, other than he was a mod and got de-modded and that he likes to bring politics into gaming discussion. As I said, I don't often visit off-topics, and all Amir0x gaming contribution I saw was by derailing threads and bringing politics into gaming discussion, like matters of racism or sexism or GamerGate. I never talked to him directly before that interview thread.
Also, I am not sure why people took my experience as personal attacks. I just said how things are and why things are like that, at least to best of my knowledge. Yes, some people thought that it's my personal view and excusing my nation of their views. I never once expressed my own take on things, only thing that was my personal opinion was to Amir0x who said "fuck your people, fuck your country, fuck any people with that views and fuck any country", I just pointed out that large portion of US has exactly same views and that ignoring huge chunk of population in favor or insignificant minority (2-3%) is a bad idea and undemocratic at best. Did I say it was humane or anything like that? No, but things don't work like that in real world.
I think this what got me banned, unless it's me showing up on this forum.

You were on the dot, I'd like to think even with our tense relations, Americans and Russians really can be quite similar, and generally more opposed to the toxic liberal ideas from western Europe. You brought sense into that thread, so of course you were dog-piled into oblivion with gif's and ad hominems about how you're a bigot. Who cares, glad to see you don't :)

You should have told him "fuck you, for beating up your mother over a cartoon." :D
