Fun thing to see in my newsfeed first thing this morning



EDIT: I don't want to start a circumcision derail. I just think the image of a man picketing on the side of the road with a sign that says "STOP CUTTING BABY PENIS" with a blood stained crotch is a little much.

Yeah, he came out in support of her from the get-go. It's also a bit more than "People made fun of him on Twitter." He was pretty consistently harassed and he was just loving sick of how lovely the industry and gamers in general were, even before all this gamergate poo poo started.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!
Isn't that account a troll account? I remember seeing that pop up elsewhere and someone said that the "i" in Phil there is actually a lower case l.

No. Watch Indie Game: The Movie. He's seriously a head up his rear end self absorbed buttwad who blames everything on anyone but himself, no matter what. He just also happens to be right on some things like GamerGate.

This is also a pretty great quote.

I think the cancelling of Fez 2 and GamerGate were a good half a year apart.

If I remember correctly, he talked about how he'd murder his ex-business partner if the guy wouldn't sign some form to allow Fez to continue being developed.

As I said he was under constant pressure by a really loving lovely and toxic community. Not to defend his blowups exactly or the obvious hyperbole about wanting to kill his ex business partner but running a business is stressful enough, then to have to deal with legal issues with an old business partner, gamers being shitbags to you, etc. At a point anyone will crack. If you'll notice a lot of people involved with the gaming community to one degree another sever connection with it after a while because it gets that bad or at least distance themselves a great deal. Regardless of what you think of the guy I recall Total Biscuit saying the other day that having actual cancer is less stressful than dealing with this poo poo and I'd believe it.

No one is forcing Phil Fish to interact with gamers, that's something he chose to do and ended up in many twitter flame wars because of it.

zoe quinn actually had people dox her and call her home and family harrasing them and sending her death threats.

Phil fish kinda didn't do himself any favors by insulting back which only generated more hate, but i wouldnt be suprised if they had done the same poo poo to him.

I didn't say poo poo about Zoe Quinn.

Phil Fish has been known as a poo poo stirrer since before this gamergate nonsense and before Fez was even released.

Yeah, it's a good thing the real gamers took Phil Fish down a peg. rear end in a top hat loving deserves all the poo poo he gets, he's just asking for it acting the way he does. If he didn't want to get harassed, he wouldn't speak out.
