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.

I am not sure, since I checked couple of hours ago and wasn't banned. I checked again maybe 5-10 mins after posting this thread and got a ban. It might be just a coinsidence. Ban message has a link to Putin interview thread.
This is the exact message:
It doesn't change things in grand scale, since I think off-topic is a cesspool of cancer on Gaf, better just to avoid it. With GG (which I don't support, same as Anti-GG, I think both movements are irrelevant shit of people who have nothing to do but fight for first world problems to occupy themselves on twitter) that cancer did spread to gaming forums. I just know to avoid anything politics/racism/sexism/GG/Anti-GG related in gaming forums, but it becomes harder and harder when some days everything on gaming side is about sexism/politics/racism in some new game (i.e. Street Fighter 5). Those threads are full of people whose only contribution to gaming side is spreading that shit, trollbaiting and witch hunting. If you look at their profiles with 10-30k messages 95% of those messages are in off-topic. I mean why sign up for gaming forum in the first place, only to talk about pop culture, politics, etc?
Anyway, as I said, I get my daily portion of news, discussion etc on Reddit. If I need to talk about Destiny, I go to Destiny subreddit, if I feel like talking about CSGO then there is subreddit for that. And there is no shilling going around any of those and you are not exposed to unrelated bullshit like GG/politics.

This has Amir0x crying to the mods written all over it. You are aware that he used to be a mod, right? That post has been up for nearly 18 hours, and you know very well that mods were thoroughly combing that thread for things to ban people for.
You made him cry like a bitch in that thread by exposing how American centric his views are and how limited his knowledge is on Russian culture. He was literally linking to instances where fags were beaten up and the people who did it were prosecuted. If Russian was the shit hole that he thought it was, those people would get away with it handily, much like the scumbag muslims do when they rape women and go honor killings. That is truly a lawless, fucked up culture.
After you dismantled his arguments, he will start firing off PMs to the mods to come save him. If he loses the argument, but you get banned and he doesn't, that is a win for him and he still gets to think he was right.
