The Brown Menace posted:someone post that interview GB did with nolan north where patrick was being a snide little oval office to nolan and where towards the end nolan called him out on it, and where the only reason nolan didn't make patrick's tooth fairy take a bulk order from the closest emergency room was that i think brad was there along with them (might have been ryan though) Yea that was pretty uncomfortable at points. To be fair to him he was pretty new at GB, and I -think- he was trying to be one of the guys, bust some balls, hang out with men when he is basically a boy, and he just failed miserably at it and came off as a bit of a prick.

Fathis Munk posted:There are different ways of coming forward with a story is all I'm saying. I 'm not criticizing that he came forward, rather the way he did and the attention whoring he does now with his ama. I mean I'm not going to say he did the best thing but dude was emotionally and sexually abused and I don't blame him for writing that manifesto as a way to get through it. I'm absolutely confident had genders been switched everyone would have commended his bravery for opening up to the world about what a terrible person Zoe is and everyone would have been moving to stop associating with her publicly but instead they've closed the wagons and are going to scream misogyny until they're blue in the face.

If I had career tarnishing dirt on a ex girlfriend of how lovely a person she is and she cheated on me a bunch and a bunch of people actually gave a gently caress I'd probably leak it too tbh.

ArbitraryC posted:Im on my phone so it'd be kind of a pain to dig it up but if you check my post history in this thread I noted some odd pages back that he had a thread on Reddit where he was commenting about choosing SA and PA as the boards he originally posted his manifesto on because they were relatively low key and unlikely to start an internet war. Hah, like poo poo, there is no low profile on the internet, he wanted all of this to leak out, else he wouln't have posted it. I don't think the sex of the offended matters that much in this case. If a woman wrote a crazy 5000 word manifesto with mile long chat logs she'd have been called a crazy bitch and the dude would prob also have been called out. There would have been differences, but not major ones imo. lovely Wizard posted:well its not like they're doing it together as a conspiracy, it's just a mentality they have to push this sort of poo poo to make their lives less empty Ok, then I agree with you. at first I though you meant they were all doing it together in a big push or sth.

ArbitraryC posted:When the creator of cards against humanity got accused of rape it didn't really seem like the "journalists" commenting on it had the same complaint about dragging his personal life out as a public spectacle. Pretty much every high profile case relating to abuse of a woman ends up commending their bravery for coming forward with the story in the face of the sexist internet that would surely be full of public backlash. like that happened, and everyone still backed phil fish and zoe.

There was far less evidence for the claim against Max. Like there's legit proof and chatlogs of Zoe admitting to pretty much everything the ex claims she did, including the by her own definition non consensual sex.

what i've gotten out of all this is that if you're an indie dev, sooner or later someone is gonna accuse you of rape. just the way it works. ending indie gaming is the first step to ending rape culture.

horriblePencilist posted:GaymerX is pandering too much to homosexual gamers I don't really see what people are arguing for here with this stuff. Do people not know how the game industry, heck - every industry works? It's 99% about connections and favours. This is just how it works. There is no way journalism or 'game journalism' especially is ever going to be this magic impartial thing where having friends in favourable places means you get less exposure due to conflicts of interest. There's an argument to be made about big publishers or advertisers putting pressure on people to report favorably on these things, but we're talking about people making tiny games (sometimes for free) getting exposure from their journalist friends. Who loving gives a poo poo?

The alternative is to carry your shame by yourself and let the lovely people who did lovely things get away scott free with it, which seems like a pretty raw deal. It's not the fact he made it public, I think that was the right call to make, it's the way he did it, I just don't think there was a need for a gently caress rear end huge manifesto with gently caress rear end huge chat logs. And the reddit ama just makes me

DrManiac posted:Not trying to be snarky or anything but what way should he have done it? Hah that's the big question. I'm not sure myself since I have never been in that situation and I didn't read the whole loving thing. Starting point might have been to just write what we need to know and not 5k words, add a couple of judiciously chosen chatlogs and voila. He dumped a shitload of chatlogs, most of them don't seem to show poo poo. It just makes him look like a crazy ex I dunno, matter of opinion maybe but I think there was a better way to handle it. (Again, I'm in no way defending quinn or saying he should not have done it)
