Putting something as complex as morality into a quantifiable system for a heavily rules based game is asking for failure. But I do love alignment charts.

Goddamn it, Joe. It's like everyone on CA now is either an rear end in a top hat or being chased off if they aren't. Well, LordKat and AA were assholes that left and was let go respectively, but that was a long time ago.

Apparently all BroTeam asked for was a disclaimer in the video description that he had nothing to do with GamerGate, and that request was ignored. I'm not sure why that was apparently so hard for Joe to do that it had to get to this level for him to do it, and apparently Joe kept emailing him a bunch after they'd already settled things and the DCMA was withdrawn.

I like Joe's gaming controversy video last year, but hearing this poo poo about his video this year is disappointing. It's not helping that he's apparently throwing a fit at BroTeamPill for the copyright claim. I mean I'd be loving pissed if I got lumped with gamergaters too, and according to the BroTeam guy he tried to handle it in a more amicable way and got ignored.

While weakly maintaining an argument that the whole thing sucks, he mostly talked about how the gamer gate people suck. Occasionally he would toss in that there were some examples of anti-gamer gate having doxxed and harassed gamer gate people. Mostly it was couched in a framing of gamer gate being so pathetic that seeking to eradicate every gater and the hashtag was more or less poor sport. How you can watch it and sigh about Joe just not getting it, why isn't he anti-gamer gate, is beyond me.

His main sticking point with regard to labeling himself anti-gamer gate, despite detailing how sexist and horrible gamer gate is, seems to be that he knows some people getting painted with a large brush. I'm assuming this because he mentions the lack of solidarity in a hashtag movement. Whether you find his neutrality an artifice, which it largely is, or a betrayal of his previous stances is up to you. Dude's pretty anti-gamer gate judging by what he actually said.

That's just ridicoulous. And of course his fanbase is going to be loving pissed and label them as the bad guys.

I haven't watched it dude, it was taken down before I could. I was mostly commenting on why it was taken down and the immediate aftermath of it. It would have probably been a better idea to not have pictures of anyone representing either side to avoid exactly this sort of situation. His handling of a simple request was not very professional, and considering how much larger a fanbase Joe has than BroTeam (by a factor of ten), lumping BroTeam in with that side is something that could very much harm their reputation.

BroTeam sounds like reddit personified, I have no real stake in their side at all. But even still, it was a poor decision on Joe's part all around. I tried watching one of their videos and it was basically American Zero Punctuation except significantly less funny, which yeah just ponder that for a few minutes.

It's a dumb graphic that Joe didn't make that is widely available on the internet. BroTeam seem to have some real thin skin about something that is completely inconsequential. Filing a take down over it is a complete dick move and makes them look like babies.

I think my issue with Lawful stems from when I played Neverwinter Nights. Bioware scarred me for life. I got enough alignment points away from Lawful to go straight to Neutral by doing something stupid like "disagreeing with a corrupt lord's authority to banish someone for trying to save the town" or something. It just made me hate the whole system. It really isn't a blanket condemnation of the idea, but it's usually implemented poorly.

Bioware sucks at alignment. They create the game with the assumption you're going to spend the whole game saving kitties or burning villages to the ground. No one could possibly choose something other than pure good or pure evil, especially when we give ridiculous scenarios for you to choose from! Like in SF Debris KTOR play through where the "good" choice is just going with the idiotic plan based on pure guess work.

Jade Emperor makes a huge deal about how Open Palm and Closed Fist are "just philisophies" and not nessicarily good or evil. Yeah, no, Open Palm is Kung Fu Jesus and Closed Palm is super Dark Side. Any video game morality system with a meter is screwed and gonna end up that way, it seems.

I think there is a single time where open palm/closed fist are actually a role reversal, something where the open palm option had villagers stay in a doomed villager and the closed fist option got them to leave where they would have a better life.

Its kinda like the Onderon situation in KOTOR 2, the darkside would have the Onderon's let them keep their individuality and culture, the light side would end with them being absorbed into the republic and just being some other planet in their control. Sure, at the time it seems good/bad but the lasting effects turn out to be the opposite.

Funny thing is Bro Team certainly hasn't had any issue with being portrayed as a part of GG by other GG'ers for months now, lol. Dude's kinda reverted into a troll that pretty much just wants attention...which was probably the whole point of Bro Team in the first place but at least there was that parody thing!

He's also the same guy who posted about being utterly screwed over by Machinima a few months back, which he rightfully got a bit of sympathy for. A part of me kinda thinks that all this crap is all just a bit of a stab at getting some notoriety to replace the momentum he lost (mind you, making videos that weren't samey highlights of streams or pro-GG flotsam would also help with that...drat it, I used to like his stuff)
