Aaronology is something special.

He barely posted, and rarely ever posted outside the One Man Punch TV thread.

Then after the first thread about how Bernie was leading in polls and could win the Presidency he's started a massive anti-Bernie/pro-Hillary operation that he continues to fight to this day. Complete with 2006 fisking style going on.

And it's almost entirely that, anti-Trump not so much. Only anti-Trump as it can be used against Bernie-clingers. He's still fighting the last war.

I knew B-Dubs posted a ton in election threads but I didn't know it was THAT much. Now I feel bad about singling out adam387 since he's mostly contained safely in PoliGAF.

My favorite new line is that Hillary voters are the ones "getting their hands dirty and doing the real work" while non-voters or third party voters are just sitting back all smug without having to sacrifice anything. (Most of this from people who aren't even fucking working on the campaigns. At least some of the Poli-GAFer nuts actually phone bank and canvass and do other dumb shit like that.)

Talk about "participation trophy" culture.

And then they don't understand how someone could want to use their oh so important and valuable vote in a way that they value most versus what a rabid Hillary supporter wants them to do. YOU'RE TELLING THEM THEY CONTROL THE ELECTION!

Also, I tried to do one of those shitpost posts that Dr. Forester does but I don't have the patience, so I only got about three people before I gave up. But basically the concept was all the people saying "you could vote your conscience if this was Romney" or something like that. Along with their 2012 posts calling Romney a vile racist and bigot and how you can't risk it because of Supreme Court.

Favorite ones were from that thread after Romney got photographed a couple weeks after he lost all disheveled and not caring late at night pumping gas, and there's a whole bunch of people outraged at how GAFers were being non-critical of and "fawning over" (by mostly making jokes) "this racist shitbag."

GAF Mods really want to get rid of any posters with wit and personality, eh?

Cause honestly most OT posters all sound the same these days because of the culling of the posters with strong personalities. 

I'm not a huge Count fan, but his quips bring some nice levity to the OT.

The first thing these fuckers think when a tragedy happens is "i hope it doesn't help candidate x" yet they'll be the first to call out politicians when they try to use tragedies to their advantage. They're just as twisted.

I know we talk about if PoliGAF was always this bad but there is one change I noticed when it comes to stuff like this.  In the past, people would usually wait a few pages before questioning how this helps or hurts their political party/agenda of choice.  Now they just autistically barrel in and start asking about this right away.  So I guess the unwillingness to even show empathy towards victims first before wondering how this hurts or helps their cause is a sign of the new PoliGAF.

When you tell people they should do as they please without being concerned about anyone else's opinion because it won't affect anything, they get really really angry for some reason. And start talking about reality this and reality that, yet none of what they're saying has to do with reality. It's very odd to see.

It's weird too. I would have thought such an intellectually high level and powerfully curated board like NeoGAF.com would be above such trifling kerfluffles bringing out such rage.

Ah, well. You live, you learn I suppose. Or don't. Whichever you prefer is fine with me. I won't *ack* why *arg* are *guh* you chok *ghrr* ing me *blegh*

Obama and the Democrat's only real problem the last eight years has been his inability to get his message out. If the Democrats were able to get their message out to the people and explained so they understood there wouldn't even be a Republican Party.

Is the whole "Trump is a racist!" screed repeated ad nauseum having any effect on the undecided or the voting populace? It seems to me like an echo chamber and that most people have tuned it out. I'll admit while I would never vote for the guy in a million years I don't think he's a racist nor will his more questionable campaign promises (blocking Muslim immigration, building the wall) ever pass.

Turned on RLM...for mocking the Ghostbusters hysteria
Turned on AVGN...for making a video explain why he won't watch Ghostbusters
Turned on H3H3...for daring to use the term "social justice warrior" in its proper context
Turned on Jimmy Fallon...for doing his job doing fluff celebrity interviews

And they're clearly still mad as hell at Southpark.

It probably makes him more popular considering how many boys cried "racist!" about every single Republican for the past fifty years. Regular Republicans see it said about Gingrich, Bush, Kemp, Romney, McCain, Trump, etc. and just dismiss it as noise or as another reason to dislike Democrats.

At the same time, the people who are posting on GAF and elsewhere with that (and the alt-right RLM gamegator jimmy fallon opposite) don't interact with the rest of the world too often otherwise their constant "TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER, YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE KKK, DAVID DUKE AND MENGELE" mantra would just fall on deaf ears if they had any actual outlet for it.

People writ large turned against the Iraq War, but they didn't suddenly start supporting Code Pink and the Workers World Party. They were angry about the bailouts but didn't hold up in tent cities in random parks.

Is the whole "Trump is a racist!" screed repeated ad nauseum having any effect on the undecided or the voting populace? It seems to me like an echo chamber and that most people have tuned it out. I'll admit while I would never vote for the guy in a million years I don't think he's a racist nor will his more questionable campaign promises (blocking Muslim immigration, building the wall) ever pass.
It probably makes him more popular considering how many boys cried "racist!" about every single Republican for the past fifty years. Regular Republicans see it said about Gingrich, Bush, Kemp, Romney, McCain, Trump, etc. and just dismiss it as noise or as another reason to dislike Democrats.

At the same time, the people who are posting on GAF and elsewhere with that (and the alt-right RLM gamegator jimmy fallon opposite) don't interact with the rest of the world too often otherwise their constant "TRUMP IS LITERALLY HITLER, YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE KKK, DAVID DUKE AND MENGELE" mantra would just fall on deaf ears if they had any actual outlet for it.

People writ large turned against the Iraq War, but they didn't suddenly start supporting Code Pink and the Workers World Party. They were angry about the bailouts but didn't hold up in tent cities in random parks.



The mainstream media sputtering into irrelevance is a big story for 2016.  I think this is probably the first election where most people are getting their political news from social media, not from TV, newspaper, or radio.

In this year alone, GAF

Turned on RLM...for mocking the Ghostbusters hysteria
Turned on AVGN...for making a video explain why he won't watch Ghostbusters
Turned on H3H3...for daring to use the term "social justice warrior" in its proper context
Turned on Jimmy Fallon...for doing his job doing fluff celebrity interviews

And they're clearly still mad as hell at Southpark.

Who is next to land on GAF's shitlist?

Lena Dunham.

Then Alison Rapp.

At then at some point Anita Sarkeesian will either say something that can be construed as white girl privileged, or she will just not be radical enough anymore. 

My predictions.

The mass media has stumbled around the issue of a Donald Trump presidency like a punch drunk prize fighter.

They do all their usual stuff but nothing is as usual.

He will say the most outlandish and extreme stuff and the media goes: "got 'em". But his supporters couldn't give less of a fuck.

It's possible they could turn on Sony soon. Lots of distaste for PS4 Pro and that Sony exec clowning on the No Man's Sky dude

Source on the NMS mocking? Not that i dont believe you, it's just that the game seemingly faded into irrelevancy almost overnight. I remember just a couple of weeks ago it was the hottest topic and now no one even mentions it. Of course its stans would prefer that everyone would just forget about it and move on, doubt they're even playing it.

I think Shu said Hello Games made too many promises. That's about it.

I wonder if they're still giving out refunds. Need 2 do that.

Forgot about Dunham. I definitely see GAF turning on her soon. In the last thread about her, a lot of them were giving her the stink eye. She probably have one or two more "problematic" incidents before she lands in GAF's doghouse.

God no. They are stanning hard for the "Upscaled Checkerboard Rendering looks just like Native resolution" line Sony is feeding them after spending a month shitting on Quantum Break on Xbone for using the same method (And there was a lot more shit you could throw at Quantum Break instead of a resolution compromise) and stood by "Arrogant Sony" even after Sony said dumb shit like calling the 3DS a "Babysitting tool" in comparison to Vita. The stupid bird is still going and now blaming Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics for making the pro look bad as the party line.

It's an endless cycle and it's all over the board because it's the same mentality. Everything is decided by display of intentions. The goal, whether to expose an xbot or gator is to personally call into question a persons intentions, thus being able to forever sidestep their actual statements or arguments, and hopefully spark the pile on.

And as the one poster openly said about H3H3, he looks for reasons to get suspicious of people. Either through words they might use or whatever. Because he's looking for those to know its safe to exclude the person without having to hear them out.

The constant virtue signaling is a race to declare and display the highest intentions and thus trump everyone else. Their identities are all tied up with corporations and products that they identify with first before defining themselves.

It's why they're insecure about review scores, and there MUST BE A MOTIVE underlying it. It makes them more uncomfortable that dissenting opinions exist than what the dissenting opinions actually are. You don't need to read the review, you know they're monsters just because they gave it a 4/10. You didn't need to read the review to buy the game and like it, you intended on it, you need confirmation though.

Once you can create a simple concept, Trump is the biggest racist in history, which is clearly obvious to me and thus should be to everyone, therefore anyone who likes him must also be massively racist. There are no other potential explanations. Everyone must deplore monogamous relationships and transcend such lower class plebes. No Man's Sky is perfect, you're just enjoying it wrong by not enjoying it. Or you probably have some kind of motive like trying to hurt their jobs out of jealousy.

Nobody is to be trusted until they display the proper virtue signals. And since these are easily adopted it increases the amount of people within the circle which increases the chances of dissenting voices necessitating higher oaths of fealty that both lump more people into the deplorables category and thus increase the exclusivity of the superior circle. It's why they turn on their own the worst. Harsher and harsher punishments for lesser and lesser crimes.

And lol you actually read this far I think I lost the plot two paragraphs ago. TL;DR: benji is a fucking moron who shouldn't ever wax philosophical about anything ever. What a loon, why doesn't he just play clicker games instead of forum shitposting?

It's just criticism. It's allowed. Don't you understand that? Why are you annoyed by people just criticizing? Are you outraged about our outrage?
