this thread's an anomaly because all the other threads on SA about it got gassed or had blue stars show up to say "You aren't allowed to talk about this." also it was initially about "hey, there's this thread on /r/games/ with thousands of deleted replies, what the gently caress is that about"

Gamers.txt finally got gassed, so I guess it all worked out

"SomethingAwful is neutral and isn't filled with social justice weirdos" is the conclusion I'd also come to if I had never seen PYF, Games, the WoW subforum, BSS, CineD, D&D, TradGames, GBS before last fall, and others.

Of course it's filled with social justice weirdos and dudes who hate ladies. But in this case we actually don't really have a dog in the fight because neither side likes us.

And that's mostly true? The reason you didn't here about the abuse is because despite it being well documented it was actively censored along with the rest of it.

This is a good opportunity to open your eyes to what the true face of social progressiveness is on the internet.

Still, no gaming websites are mentioning, or even acknowledging the existence of the FYC game jam. Nobody anywhere is to mention that the indie dev community attacked a charity organization on February 28th after Zoe Quinn identified them as a target.

Because they were on boards and forums. All the blogs and article sites that should have jumped on this like they do with every clickbaitable accusation against men instead just did the opposite and blamed the victim.

The anti Zoe team didn't drop the ball the fact of the matter is the anti Zoe team was actually the minority getting bullied by a bunch of people claiming to be socially progressive.

Well, you do have to remember that everyone in this is completely retarded, so when one side only wanted to talk about how dumb it was people cared about the sex, the other idiots would try and prove that the sex was worth caring about. Because their side couldn't possibly have germinated out of anything but the purest, most rightest of intentions.

First off, you might recognize me if you've been following the "trigger warning" debate that cropped up earlier this year, in May and June. I'm the Rutgers University student who was sourced in the New York Times, who wanted to put TW's on the Great Gatsby and King Lear. Huff Post and BBC really loved my ideas, to the point where they interviewed me to talk about my work.

But that's not important right now. What's important is that I'm one of you: I'm one of those trans, non-binary, feminist activists who wants to make the world a better place. I'm a social justice activist, first and foremost.

There's also nothing all that remarkable about the sex portion of the scandal, by the time you are in your mid twenties you will probably know a half dozen yuppie Zoey Quinn types. People lie to get laid and cheat on one another all the time in every facet of life, the only difference is they don't lead their lives on twitter and flaunt some faux moral superiority.

Are they worried people would say something like: "Hmm, this looks pretentious. Basing a game on a hodgepodge of traditional college social studies and art studies humdrum that shocks no one in this age. You'd have to be kind of dense to think people want to play your term paper."

This is what should be pushed as far as possible because I could care less that she banged five guys while gorging on wide fries. That fact that an abuser by a normal persons definition not even some weird social justice definition is being promoted as the second coming of black gay Jesus savior to gaming and the social justice causes is not some one worth putting on a pedestal but some you politely ask to leave as they damage your cause.

Hork blork blork "THIS is how you take down the patriarchy."

It's like it (the author) chastising a group of people shoving squirrels up their asses only to follow up by telling them they should be shoving hedgehogs up there instead. Social justice is loving stupid and seeks to do nothing but limit free speech of creators and make everyone who associates with them look retarded. Zoe Quinn is just an example of how retarded games journalism AND social justice look.

So no, it can go gently caress itself. Trigger-warning mongering fucks.

The head ShitRedditSays cultists originally got together on these forums and built their credibility by loudly and publicly denouncing the child pornography sections, which was a brilliant tactic because it was both extremely good and necessary to do, and also clearly just for the sake of generating publicity and not for the actual good reasons to do it.
