That is incredibly embarrassing to read. Are they really using half a trump slogan by saying they should take a stand and make gaming great (again)? All I really know about The Escapist aside from how hard it banks on Zero Punctuation to continue existing is that the forums are full of people who literally think "Ideas Guy" is paid position and that they would all be the best at it.

The way I see it, if you heard someone down the pub talking about raping or killing people they work with you wouldn't let it lie, so why should Twitter be any different? And I'm not even saying 'hey, this is wrong', I'll leave that up to whomever to decide. EvilGenius has a new favorite as of 07:14 on Jul 21, 2016 |

It doesn't matter how poo poo someone is, if they're not doing anything illegal please don't go internet detective on them. It's incredibly creepy for everyone.

I can't help but feel that this is more like "it doesn't matter how small you are", but the wording is off for that.

Even harmless "I googled you and this embarrassing thing came up" is pretty creepy by anyone other than a close friend or something.

It would appear that they are doubling down hard on people that fiercely vigilant of the Gamer identity.

I was once accussed of rape. I was halfway across the world at the time. All women do that sort of malicious poo poo to black people, like they did me.

Could male suicide be much higher simply because men "feel" more than women? Just a thought I had. Might nature have stripped women of their ability to "feel" (e.g. love, remorse) as much as men do so they are less likely to be driven to suicide? As we know, if the female population dwindles, so does the rate of reproduction for the species, which isn't good from an evolutionary standpoint. So women's lack of ability to have genuine feelings (that might drive them to suicide) is a survival mechanism.

It's hilarious to me that MRAs zero in on the fact that a higher percentage of men complete suicide while remaining oblivious to the coinciding fact that a higher percentage of women attempt suicide. "No genuine feelings" indeed.

Strom Cuzewon posted:This is largely down to choice of methods isn't it? Men tend to jump off buildings or shoot themselves, which leaves less room for changing your mind than pills. Yup. But IIRC, these studies are based on mostly Western suicides, and women in East Asia are most likely to jump to their deaths, meaning that they succeed more often.

Doxxing isn't good but sometimes it's great. Like when people found the sick moderator on Reddit that posted pictures of beat up women.

quote:+Swiss Army Cheese You're misunderstanding me, as I clearly stated previously: " I have nothing against homosexuals, but faggots are annoying as gently caress.". It is not about being gay, it's about being an annoying gently caress about being gay. I even said that this applies to heterosexuals as well. Why in God's name did I delve into youtube comments. Why am I still arguing. What the gently caress is wrong with me?

Apart from ZP I haven't touched The Escapist ever since they drove out Extra Credits and (to a lesser and increasingly greater extent) Jim Sterling. They really are the luckiest bastards in the business to have snatched Yahtzee up that fast, considering he could easily pull down 20 grand a month on Patreon.

And that guy right there is why Chris Rock stopped doing that bit. Also as far as I can tell the whole "if you're annoying you're a human being, not gay" thing comes from a Louis CK bit that goes on way too long and people love using to justify their own bigotry.

South Park also had a similar bit. Louis CK definitely wrestles with whether his bit was a good idea if that Louie vignette about it is any indication.
