Today, loveual assault allegations against Malka began circulating online which alleged that Malka made unwanted loveual advances against an individual. The moderation team, in an act of solidarity with the victim, stepped down from the site. Furthermore, NeoGAF users began protesting the site and its owner just before the site went down.

According to Twitter this is not the first time allegations of loveual assault have come up against Malka. However, recent events regarding loveual assault and harassment in the video game and larger entertainment industry have prompted swift action against perpetrators of loveual assault.

To save other people who don't know what it is, what is NeoGaf? Is it a hated forum? Are the founders/admins really bad guys? I need some background info that Google can't supply me.

what does it take to topple an already biased website full of people who will do anything to protect people on the internet after the owner has already had loveual assault claims and the website is taking flak from major youtubers

a loveual assault claim

Even if the stories are all true, EvilLore is just a medium-creepy sperg - and what do you expect from someone who runs a gaming forum?  The funny part is that he's crafted a community where even the accusation of violating a fair maiden's honor is enough to be excommunicated.  So it doesn't matter if he did it or not - he's made this rod for his own back. 

The real story is that most of the moderators quit (if they weren't already in jail) and the site relies on heavy moderation to maintain it's impossibly steep ideological slant.  He'll either have to wrangle up a whole new group of amazingly hypocritical moderators or allow the politics of the forum to change.  He could also step down either by selling the site or transferring it to a shell company with a hired manager.
