NeoGaf (heavily SJW gaming site) owner Tyler Malka accused of sexual misconduct

Influential games forum NeoGAF is in disarray after a woman accused owner Tyler Malka of sexual misconduct in 2015. In a Facebook post that’s preserved here, the woman — identified by Kotaku as a film director who has worked with Malka — said that he followed her naked into a shower against her wishes while the two were in New Orleans on a road trip. While she initially didn’t name Malka, she followed up with a comment reading “Google Evilore,” which is his NeoGAF handle. Kotaku reports that since then, more than half the site’s moderators have quit, and a number of users have written inflammatory posts in protest, hoping to get themselves banned.

This isn’t the first red flag around Malka. As Kotaku and Glixel note, he wrote in a 2012 post about groping a woman who asked him to buy her a drink in a bar, in order to “show that I wasn’t being taken advantage of.” (Malka defended his actions in a follow-up post, then allegedly banned critics.) But this direct accusation was apparently a step too far for many users. The site spent part of the weekend offline for “scheduled maintenance,” then reappeared this morning apparently purged of posts about the incident.
