I read this thread since my last post whilst being a white male, smoking a cigar, drinking fine whisky. I hope this does my part in pissing off the social justice warriors of the world as this poo poo is just too loving funny to let it stop.

AkumaHokoru posted:its hit breitbart oh boy, breitbart this guy is gleefully enjoying the opportunity to dump on the left, but that and his verbiage aside, his summary is accurate and mostly complete, and even presents evidence that no one else is willing to even talk about instead dismissing it as "slander" or "gossip" (despite happily eviscerating people like Temkin). The article gets ruined though when he dives into full MRA mode though, even if he returns to actual criticism of games journalism in the next section breitbart somehow has the best article on this. that's how bad it's gotten. loving breitbart AkumaHokoru posted:well it also hit forbes http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/08/22/the-truth-about-video-game-journalism/ mostly good until he starts defending the journalism. "they just don't understand or appreciate us" he claims. well I loving wonder why. this stuff isn't unique to games journalism and it's weird to see that being constantly paraded out as a defense, that their audience is somehow nastier than others. also he doesn't seem to grasp the difference between the past actions of the scene and their current refusal to report on quinn but at this point that's par for the course so whatever literally a hog posted:Examiner did a piece: lmao this is the guy who writes constantly about how hot virtual women are what a defender

In terms of percentage of the population I wouldn't be surprised if Asians are overrepresented compared to whites in the game industry.

To be fair someone who used their twitter army to suppress rival charities probably should have their reputation dragged through the mud. But it seems like even the sane articles want to steadfastly ignore that in favour of more navel gazing over e-feminism.

I can believe this is still going on (I was gonna say can't but internet) because people are idiots. Am I wrong in not caring whether a man or a woman made a game but only worrying about whether or not the aforementioned game is fun? I mean anyone I know who actually plays games is too busy actually playing the game to be all lol that dead woman has her legs spread.
