STIMSIS posted:Nu uh Derek wasn't yelled at. It was like a fart someone posted before. You goons are being hypocritical and are allowing someone who would rather make a nice package for Breitbart then update your OP. Derek shouldn't be the OP is all I'm saying. Laugh at what's funny. Condemn what's evil But do so fairly. If Ben should face this consequences I'm seeing people write about how come Derek gets to keep his position of OP? He doesn't even do the research, just uploads it to his Twitter. Why not update the OP if he's just gonna take other people's work and rewrite it? No, Derek is gonna write a book you see, can't be bothered to update the OP. What is with your crazy fixation of this thread's OP that barely anyone reads anyway?

When i was younger i had to have major surgery on my spine. This necessitated a 2 month hospital stay then like 2 months of literally not being able to get out of bed and then another 4 months of not really being able to leave the house. It failed me a college course, and lost me a lot of friends because we just drifted apart cause we could never really do anything. it was just me and an internet connection and an IRC channel and slowly coming to terms with the fact that i had a disability and i hated it and i was angry as hell at everything. You know what i didn't do? i didn't turn into a loving racist homophobic pedophile. also i was 19, which y'know, still a teenager there. Ben, your excuse for this is absolutely loving bullshit and offends me on a deeply personal level. how loving dare you

Chocobo posted:Nah, there's really no misunderstanding or annoyance, I just found that quote funny years later and devoid of context especially since you were the one to reply. Even the initial post about being jumped was in jest. Nothing that happens on this forum will ever give me anything but joy, if I wasn't having fun I wouldn't be reading let alone posting. Yeah, no harm meant on my part. If someone I don't think is an idiot posts something that seems a bit wrong to me, I can't stop myself trying to correct them. If I think they're an idiot or a Shitizen, I don't bother and just enjoy the post.

STIMSIS posted:I haven't even mentioned CIG how can I be shilling for them? It's weird how I get associated with something just by being in the general vicinity (posting in a Star Citizen thread) yet Derek can have a nice warm conversation with a known racist and not have that brush up on his image. Come on everyone here makes fun of Money, that he's some kind of token, this and that. What about Derek? He's a token for the Gamergate movement and appears on their webinars yet Derek Smart doesn't get talked about like Money. Why not? I haven't read any posts where people were making fun of Money. In fact, I think the general opinion is that he seems like an alright guy who got reluctantly persuaded to appear on the shows (his job is Video Editor, so dunno what he's supposed to contribute). What people ARE making fun of is the fact that he started appearing on the shows directly after the stuff about Sandi being a racist came out, and how much of a transparent attempt to refute the claims of racism it was. Ponzi fucked around with this message at 12:42 on Apr 17, 2016 |

Derek Smart is gonna write a book about Star Citizen. He's said so himself. But will he bother to update the OP? He's gonna take all your funny lines, your original research and then sell it back to you. Derek is leading a charge against racism after he's appeared on a racist's show. Goons fight for women gamers and Derek comes along and smacks everyone in the face by giving Vox Day the time of day. [url="http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2015/04/08/_2015_hugo_awards_how_the_sad_and_rabid_puppies_took_over_the_sci_fi_nominations.html" READ THIS, IT'S ABOUT HOW VOX DAY TRIED TO SUPPRESS WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN SCIENCE FICTION" [/url] I've included facts and links and everyone wants to glance over them, and be smug about it. You can follow your hate leader, but Derek will betray you. He makes lovely games, that is known, and he's gonna cash out with a book he writes from YOUR material. Not from what I wrote, I'm a retard, but all you funny people with your original research Derek is gonna sell it back to you and what will you say then?

Mendrian posted:You could always try having a long gimmicky meltdown about it. I like the way you think, but a meltdown sounds like too big a commitment for me right now. Could I do something less time-consuming that still gets me loads of negative attention? Or could the thread maybe just pretend I'm having a meltdown without requiring a lot of input from me? I have to do a lot of work today, and a meltdown sounds like a lot of effort to go through. Tank Boy Ken posted:To be fair: I think you have valid points about Ben. And most other people will agree with you. But he is part of a system that IS harming vulnerable people. Even though he''s probably psychologically trapped in this position and lacks the willpower to face the conequences of doing something against it. Wether or not the lack of willpower is his fault or not is a very philosphical thing to debate. Without knowing him personally and stuff. I agree completely that CIG is taking advantage of vulnerable people, and that Ben carries some of that responsibility. My point was less that he doesn't deserve what is happening, and more how utterly pitiful his situation is. I have a really hard time not seeing how broken these people are, even as they hurt others. I am not trying to say that others should see it the same way, or that we should somehow excuse them from responsibility - but I think it is worthwhile reminding everyone that these are fundamentally dysfunctional people, stuck in a process that continually makes it harder for them to turn their lives around. Sure, they pretend to be on top of the world, but in a thread like this, with all the things we've seen, I think more people should be able to see through that. They (Ben, Chris and Sandi) are scared, insecure individuals desperately trying to run from the truth, as the illusions they have built around them never seem to solidify, for reasons they are too dumb to understand. I think it is both more truthful and more hurtful at the same time to see them for what they are. hakimashou posted:I read the whole thing and it's not wrong.

I don't like racism not even a little bit that's why I'm upset with Derek for appearing on Vox Day's webinar. All you people that are supposedly upset by racism, are calling me a racist or whatever, won't say the same about Derek because you're hypocrites. How much do you have invested in Derek Smart? I bet not a lot because he makes lovely games. Why not replace him as OP with someone who will actually do the job for a thread that I hear is 600 million miles long

hakimashou posted:I read the whole thing and it's not wrong. Yes Ben's pitiable, but he's also a petty jerk who's never really changed from his wcnews days, and when the chips are down he's shown that his gut sympathies were always with the sort of people that made the SC community as toxic as it is. Hell, even his apology for his old website had some petty and unnecessary barbs, not to mention blame shifting. It speaks to the quality of his character that even though it's clear that he's in a bad way and suffering, he hasn't really internalized the growth as a person he claims to have undergone. He's still even holding onto that horrible site as though he's proud of it. He's unwilling to even make a symbolic gesture of putting it behind him and expunging that from his history. Also I agree about ing but there was talk about making a real journalistic undertaking like what goons did with PGI and the MWO timeline, and I figure every little bit would help you know?Azram Legion posted:Sure, they pretend to be on top of the world, but in a thread like this, with all the things we've seen, I think more people should be able to see through that.
