Ardennes posted:So is the issue that some girl cheated with a much of guys and started a poo poo storm or "social progressiveness?" If it is about social progressiveness, how isn't this just another battleground for culture wars that happen all the time outside of gaming? My gut feeling is it started as mostly column B with a sprinkling of scheudenfreude at someone who aggressively sells and maintains their personal brand on being a paragon being caught out as a massive hypocrite. Since then it seems to have catalysed the sudden release of a poo poo load of pent up frustration at the gaming press / the tendency of gender discussions on the internet to devolve into two opposite extremes attempting to browbeat each other into submission while everyone who isn't a hyper invested crazy person gets caught in the crossfire.

Why do supporters of Zoe still say people are doxxing her? Not only was that fake, she also accused a board of depressed virgins who discuss how to kill yourself on a regular basis.

During the Ex's AMA some other people revealed stuff of Zoe's past. The person in question is legobutts, a PR rep still very close to Zoe. They own the rebel jam domain and have been discussed on the /v/-threads a lot. They're also suspected of being one of the 5 guys. Jesus loving christ I'm using preferred pronouns.

It's what got me to buy Tony Hawk Skateboarding 1 when it came out on ps1. I played that demo to death quite literally, and friends would always ask for it after I got the full game. First 2 Tony Hawks Levels with all the music but you could only set each game to 2 minute rounds but thats all most people play anyway I discovered later. Speed freaks was another one, remember getting it on holiday in Dartmouth.

One of the most recent major controversies was a recent Nintendo game (Tamadochi Life or something like that) didn't allow gay relationships, thus Nintendo is a homophobic company.

The issue is particularly pressing, campaign creator Tye Marini says in the video below, because married characters have access to exclusive features like bigger houses and the ability to have a child is there adoption in this game or does this guy want nintendo to pretend butt babies are a thing?

jalopybrown posted:lmao i checked this out There was a glitch that involved importing Miis from Tomodachi Collection (The predecessor to Tomodachi Life, it was a Japan-only DS title) that would be identified as female but the game would treat them as male. This glitch was removed in a patch, but SJWs interpreted it as the game previously allowing same-sex marriage but removing it afterwards. Nevermind the fact that there is zero distinction between male and female miss other than their relationship to other miis, so you could make a male-looking Mii and pick female as their gender. That being said, unlike The Sims, you also have no direct influence over the life of your Miis and can only give them advice that they might not even listen to. Here's something else. Stardock, known for being one of the few studios who opted against DRM even when it hit peak bullshit and being all around a good company to work with, was badmouthed by Zoe based off baseless assumptions. Their CEO – Brad Wardell – retaliates but Zoe dismisses his arguments because he watches Family Guy. I'm not kidding.

The emails that came out from that incident with his ex-employee were pretty damning.

That owns. Pretty much how every conversation involved with any of the people associated with that little retard clique are going to go now, any time they try that poo poo there's going to be fifty people asking for citations for every one of their claims. I look forward to the near future when they start calling it harassment when people want proof of claims.
