<p><em>Above: I feel like celebrating!</em></p>
<p>Readers, it is time to celebrate! As you know, I dislike &#8216;gaming forums&#8217; and consider them poison to gaming. Gaming got along just fine without &#8216;gaming forums&#8217; corrupting your thoughts and telling you how to think. If you say something Neogaf doesn&#8217;t like, they immediately ban you. To give an idea of how corrupt it is, consider that in the off-topic political threads, if you post anything but leftist, you immediately get banned. They work with leftist politicians and media for&#8230; who knows&#8230; &#8216;for the cause&#8217; and all that.</p>
<p>This website is banned on Neogaf. This blog is too scary for them.</p>
<p>Amir0x, a moderator there since 2005 or earlier, was arrested for child porn. Evillore (who owns the site) claims ignorance about Amir0x despite them being best buds and Evillore sending him money.</p>
<p>The story is that Evillore may be a Harvey Weinstein junior. Details about it are in this<a href="http://comicbook.com/gaming/2017/10/22/neogaf-down-owner-sexual-assault-"> story</a> or that <a href="http://www.usgamer.net/articles/neogaf-goes-dark-after-sexual-assault-allegations-against-founder">story</a> or this <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/77im7i/neogaf_owner_and_admin_evilore_accused_of_sexual/">reddit thread</a>. Go there for the details, reader. Going back to Amir0x being arrested for child porn (and who knows what other deviancy), there is a saying that &#8216;birds of a feather flock together&#8217;. We&#8217;ll see how this all shapes out.</p>
<p>Already, moderators have resigned. Currently, the site is offline.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t feel sorry for Evillore, reader. The guy has become extremely wealthy from Neogaf (we&#8217;re talking millions). This will be interesting to see where it all goes.</p>
<p>&#8220;But Malstrom,&#8221; asks the reader. &#8220;What if you get accused of sexual harassment?&#8221;</p>
<p>Women constantly get angry at me for what <em>I don&#8217;t do. </em>I would rather play another video game than entertain them. They don&#8217;t like that. So, no, the reader doesn&#8217;t have to worry. When harassment claims begin to include &#8220;He&#8217;d rather play Zelda than date me! Grrrrr!&#8221; then we&#8217;ll need to worry!</p>
