What the gently caress is WizardChan and why am I seeing references to it?

It's a chan for virgins who are depressed about not having sex.

They didn't like depression quest because...

1. It sucked.

2. They literally think it's impossible to be a sexually active female and be depressed.

3. They felt depression quest didn't touch what depression is really like. In example, there is no segment in the game where you play pre-teen sex-anime flash games at home naked at wish for the sweet release of death while jacking it and crying at the same time.

4. Zoe is a fat annoying blob who can't be depressed because her con like ways sound fun and not depressing at all.

Then Zoe said she was harassed by them and one jerked off on the phone to her.

You're going to have to wait awhile for that.

At the moment the fires are still pretty hot that it's knee-jerk reactionary pieces all around. There's no time for research or thought! Just post what ever seems most popular or politically correct. Time is click-money!

Jes Baker is amusing. http://www.worldlifestyle.com/beauty-style/14-things-every-fat-girl-absolutely-needs-to-hear

quote:

1. Everyone has rolls when they bend over. Everyone. Lets just get this out of the way right off the bat. In the last few months, I've had over 30 women ranging from rail thin to extra large naked in my bed and I would routinely ask them to hug their knees. You wont believe this... ALL OF THEM HAD TUMMY ROLLS. Not one was exempt. Even my super fabulous professional model 6 foot tall and some amazing Katie had rolls. The stomach pictures turned into some of my favorite images from the project... so quit thinking they're bad, and try accepting (dare I say embracing?) yours!

2. When people say "you're gorgeous", believe them. I tend not to, and it's a cryin' shame. When people genuinely compliment you, it's because they really see it. Try to not dismiss their perspective as wrong and assume that you know better. They see all of you. We see our flaws. Believe them.

3. "Arm flab is embarrassing." No its not, go gently caress yourself. No, not you. The people who tell us that, silly.

4. You're not stunning despite your body. You're stunning because of your body. There is a distinct difference. I grew up in a culture that would deem "unattractive" women as "special spirits". A degrading categorization that implied that the only thing worthwhile was whatever was inside. Well, yeah. We are all much much more than our bodies, but our bodies are a beautiful part of us too. Beauty comes from the inside AND the outside. I am of the firm belief that every person is beautiful, and so this leaves the inside to be the part that is the most telling when it comes to true "beauty".

5. A guy can pick you up off your feet, and it won't break his back. "Wait, whaaaaaa Jes? You're full of poo poo." Nope. This just happened to me for the first time in... six years? I'm considerably heavier than I was 6 years ago (like... 70 pounds heavier) and so when I ran up to my friend Eric for a hug and he picked me up with my heels in the air... it left me breathless. I had forgotten that it was possible; I had accepted a life void of being lifted. So exhilarating. Eric didn't suffer any injuries and walked away unscathed.

Eric is, of course, an Icelandic strongman.

I remember a screenshot of a post that says women and Zoe in particular can't have depression because they can just spread their legs and get all the love and attention they need. Don't know anything apart from this, though. It might have been fake, sarcasm or an unpopular opinion.

That's a dumb statement by an idiot. I don't doubt Zoe has depression, I just think that she treats her depression by being absolutely evil to pretty much everyone, and then cries victim when called out on it.

Maybe they're sick of white people adamantly declaring how racist things are. In my experience, 90% of SJWs are white, so I could actually see a bit of frustration--look at the black guy who got accused of being white for daring to disagree with the hivemind.

A lot of the SJW's are also the type of sheltered nerds that will endlessly talk about how terrible ferguson is on twitter and how they hope more minorities will be included in video games on forums but are the first ones to cross the street when they come across anyone vaguely non-white.

A few things keep me interested. One being that so many people are going to the mat for a downright terrible person. I mean she hosed over a charity and then laughed about it with her friends. A lot of this poo poo could have been avoided if SJWs just quietly expelled her.

The other reason I'm still interested is just because I've enjoyed seeing a few people switch sides, the censorship, the completely unresearched articles, the admissions from bloggers, the forced apologies and hopefully potential financial damage or layoffs.

Zoe Quinn started a #conspiracy hashtag to counter #notyourshield and it's even loving dumber because it's angry SJWs and game reviewers trying to make fun of people for the amazing ability to have a memory of Doritos pope.

also she claiming 4chan is harrassing her because a troll said something pretty lovely, only to get banned and laughed at immediately.

If her ex has taught people anything, it's that no one can afford to expel anyone else. They're so tightly knit that if one goes down, they're capable of bringing the whole ship down with them.

So they circle the wagons, create dozens of articles about how gamers are oppressing women, conveniently ignore the overwhelmingly nasty attacks being launched by their fans and hope to win the PR war in time because people are only ever seeing that it's gamers being dicks and nothing else if they only follow the news.

Sad thing is, I predict they will win the PR war, because they have--and continue to--stuck to the point that "Zoe and Anita were harassed/left their homes, this is the toxic atmosphere that exists when women speak out!" and that's the only soundbite that news outlets will care about.

i know this dude who "is" a "professional stand up comedian" that acts exactly like a male version of Zoe. when there's no drama in his own life, he imports it. he somehow turned the tragic drunk driving death of one of my best friends into a sob story about how it hurt him so much to lose "his best friend" (when in reality they barely knew each other). he even organized a fundraiser for the guy's funeral and collected money in cash. guess where that money went? up his nose.

he now hates me because i said "watch out Dane Cook!" when he posted an "edgy" rant about how using the "human being" totally rules and gently caress you.

oh and his favorite musician is GG Allin.

welp that's my story carry on thred.

e: oh yeah he's cheated on every girl he's ever dated at least ten times each
