It's Kevin "Fragmaster" Bowen's brother's name. I guess it was something to do with trolling Fragmaster in some stupid sub-forum, I've been posting with this name since like 2004 but I didn't register the account originally so I don't know what the joke was supposed to be. Please don't send any SJW murder squads out to kill Fragmaster's brother.

A few years back, EVE Online's developers asked the playerbase to all write blog posts discussing how EVE Online could attract more women into its playerbase, seeing as the game's playerbase was (and still is) 95% male, one of the biggest gender gaps in any MMO. Did anybody ever record those blog posts? I started reading a few at the time and the recurring theme I saw in each was "all women are <something obscene and/or offensive> so EVE Online should <something also offensive> to make those dumb silly women want to play our internet spaceship game." I thought it might be sorta hilarious to look back at that sorta thing, but it might also just make us all sad.

I started reading a few at the time and the recurring theme I saw in each was "all women are <something obscene and/or offensive> so EVE Online should <something also offensive> to make those dumb silly women want to play our internet spaceship game." I don't recall that being a thing but I do recall the current Executive Producer of EVE Online, Andie Nordgren (a woman), say in an interview (when she was Senior Producer) that CCP aren't trying to cater to one demographic or the other. http://www.destructoid.com/boy-s-club-why-don-t-more-women-play-eve-online--254710.phtml quote:“There’s bad complexity in EVE,” Nordgren tells me bluntly. “Only a certain type of person will ever work their way through it, and the majority of those people are guys.” I'm not sure she's saying "girls are dumb, guys are smarter" like some people tried to say when the article first came out but is more so saying that the data implies there is a higher ratio of guys who like the overly complex gameplay that is present in EVE versus the gals and CCP don't want to change the mechanics to increase appeal to just a single gender. There was some followup blog by a female player of EVE who talked about how, in her opinion, CCP shouldn't try to cater to just women in order to help their numbers. I can't find it off hand but it was worth a read. Edit - Also unfortunately all the stuff about World of Darkness in that article is now void as CCP shut down production on it after 7 years of bare bones development.

I don't see a problem with that Polygon list, it perfectly fits literally every online gaming community I ever encountered. Maybe I just have bad luck with gaming communities, I dunno. Well, the parts about how him being male will make people pay attention is silly, gamers will just call him a white knighting mangina or something. Content: Final Fantasy 14 forums have a sizeable thread about LGBT and LGBT-friendly guilds and chat channels. It's main purpose is, obviously, to provide a convenient list of communities that would welcome sexual and gender minorities. So obviously idiots feel a need to wander in and post their retarded opinions. A lot of the dumb posts are now gone because the forum moderation are horrible SJWs who hate traditional moral values and free speech, but plenty of good stuff is still there. quote:gay propaganda...no thanks. quote:I am glad this directory is here for those who need it. quote:why are you discussing your sexual orientation, sexual preferences or anything having to do with SEX in game? it's pretty much against the terms of service and code of conduct for a game not rated M. quote:no offense but this doesn't need to be here, if people want to advertise a gay and lesbian LS they can do it over the server sub section and specify what they are about. people are already crying about gay marriages now we need gay linkshells in the main chat? this really has no reason what so ever to be here!! quote:Looks like I got deleted. Nice. quote:/What does your sexual orientation have to do with the game? Whats wrong with normal guilds? Why do you only wish to play with people who are also gay? This kind of segregation can only be detrimental to the community as a whole. quote:Look at what you wrote. You are using words that segregate you from others not like you (in your mind). quote:
I have a black best friend posted:My best friend is gay, and he has no issues when I say stuff like "Thats Gay". So... quote:Why labeling yourselves? If you want to be treated as a normal person regardless of your sexual preference you won't achieve it by using LGBT label. I play for fun not to show others my busness.  Adam Bowen spottedquote:Why are you bunching Women into this? Do you feel women are discriminated against on-line a lot? or treated poorly. People of Color? Man, we are all people of color.

It doesn't matter how accurate the points are. Privilege checklists will always be interpreted by their target audience as "40 Reasons You're Bad and Should Feel Bad," not least because they tend to be written by smug tumblr types who probably have that as the actual intention. It's the most condescending poo poo and makes gamers even more paranoid, defensive, and insular than they usually are. quote:christopher.brady.71 The stereotype of "kind of an rear end in a top hat" is definitely as harmful to white men as "bad at all non-domestic tasks" is to women, "sexual predators" is to gays, and "thieving rapist thugs" is to blacks.

The titles are dumb as gently caress, but the videos themselves are far less controversial. It's essentially click-bait titles and I'm not entirely sure how it's supposed to bite. I guess similar viewership to the syfy channel?

So apparently that bobs game guy mentioned a few pages ago just started a kickstarter (for his game that was supposed to be done years ago). Every paragraph is more gamers.txt than the last, so I don't have any quotes for you. Edit:Wait never mind this bit from the kickstarter thread works quote:I emailed Mark Pincus from Zynga. I could feel my power reach through him. Several weeks later, he announced he was being stepping down. It wasn't a coincidence. It was real, I was sure of it. egg tats fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Apr 24, 2014 |
