EvilLore has absolutely nothing to do with ResetEra. And GAF was absolutely shaped by his influence.
There may well be progressive people on that site, but they're congregated around the work of two assholes. There may even be some good people still working there, as there certainly were in the past. I used to do events benefiting Child's Play (the Penny Arcade charity), and the women who ran the organization at that time (I think their names were Kristin and Jamie?) were just the nicest and most helpful human beings anyone could ever ask for. They even retweeted our events on the official account when we were literally just a pair of high school kids running a livestream out of my basement. The difference between them and their shitty bosses was enough to give you whiplash. A quick Google, however, suggests that they have both since moved on.
I actually supported Destructoid for a long time for a similar reason – i.e., because there were many people who worked there (like the excellent reviewer Chris Carter) that seemed like genuinely good guys. But I unfollowed them and deleted my account to start off my 2019. I can't support them anymore, because even browsing the site with an Adblocker felt like tacitly supporting that scumbag owner Niero the more and more I thought about it. And I can't support the Penny Arcade forum because, in my mind, doing so supports those scumbags Mike & Jerry.
