Yeah I'm agreeing with this. My problem isn't with anyone's reaction to the game itself, it's that these jerkasses have sent a very clear message that I will never be a "Real" geek until I stop caring about mental health and stop encouraging others to care about mental health.

Like, for example, the sedevacantism borne out of the Catholic Church being full of gays. It is an achingly normal occurence for wannabe revolutionaries with poorly ironed on Lenin shirts to decry "Identity politics" as a distraction to keep us workers from uniting against the real enemies. A depressingly large number of them harbor racist viewpoints and think that's a good enough smokescreen.

I'm not a big fan of him and he's done some obviously lovely stuff but he's really done what he can to distance himself from that one post everyone likes to throw around, he's admitted how loving stupid that was. Unless you give me a link of TB specifically saying that GamerGate is awful and he apologizes for all the poo poo he has done to push GG, I'll keep saying he can spend his very finite moments however he likes.

Of course, in my world, "obnoxious" does not equate to "immoral, lying slut," nor does it even make a person's arguments wrong.

I dunno if it's just my cynicism talking, but when I see media outlets bend over backwards to describe themselves as "independent" and "free-thinking", I immediately figure them to by either conspiracy nut jobs or disinformation-for-hire. Perhaps because of the untreated sewage indymedia publishes most of the time, I guess.Silver2195 posted:Maybe we should make a separate thread called PYF Tankie or Other Authoritarian Moonbat?

I've always found Zoe Quinn perfectly nice, and this feels like gratuitous balance fallacy at best. Also, she's not actually a celebrity whose job it somehow is to be picked at by a public. In other news, I've finished a draft of my review of that loving Fenris Wulf book (with much thanks to helpful goons here and on the PYF Terrible Book thread). Should be up later this week or early next week. divabot has a new favorite as of 21:14 on Aug 29, 2016 |

Small Frozen Thing posted:Also this. Y'all are being real dumb rn.  To be clear, I think GG is bullshit and she deserves support from the gaming community for standing up to their bullshit, and it's ridiculous that anyone even cares how many people she slept with or when or why. It's all atrocious bullshit that no one deserves. Given all that, however, I've noticed that some people who don't have a dog in this fight seem to think that GG must have a point because they don't like Zoe Quinn - like you're only acceptable as a sympathetic victim if you're sweet and innocent and pure enough. My point, if awkwardly phrased, was just that you don't have to like her to think that the way she's been treated is bullshit.

poptart_fairy posted:Can't speak for the internet at large, but it only pops up at SA when someone has an axe to grind. "Don't talk about gamergate" rapidly became "talk about gamergate all the time but only if you bring it up in PYF". What did winning ever do for the cuckservative movement? We can never genuinely win at democratic politics. The Gimmiedat Obamaphone party single mom party always wins regardless of the nominal result. That is inherently baked in to the nature of democracy. That is what Democracy is. Democracy is single mums on my tax dollar and obamaphones on my phone bill. Indeed, Trump losing is in many ways a better outcome than him winning, but failing to suspend the constitution and declare himself Trump the First. The best outcome is not Trump winning the election, which would make almost no difference, but Trump declaring himself God Emperor Trump the first. But such an outcome would be premature. I figure on something like that happening in 2024 election cycle, rather than this election cycle, after Hillary imports a hundred million black Muslims screaming for infidel blood and white pussy, and starts with the mandatory sex change operations for white males. Win the election, we might destroy democracy, but it is a long shot, winning the election is merely the first step on a hard road, and I always described it as such. Lose the election, we will surely destroy the cuckservative party. We get their gravy, they get to be interns in the Democrat party and clean Hillary’s toilet bowl with their tongues. As I said in the beginning, the campaign has done more for liberty in the US, regardless of whether Trump wins or loses, than every conservative election win in the last hundred years put together. And I said that when it was far from clear he would become the Republican presidential candidate. Now the remaining questions are whether he will become president, and whether he will become God Emperor. I rather think he will become President, but if he fails now, we are still better off than with a hundred Romney/Bush victories. That is what we mean when we say Trump for God Emperor – that Republic is done, and he should do what Augustus did.

No, GamerGate will never go away cause everyone wants to keep fighting over it. Neither side wants to give up, they've both found an enemy they can hate forever. It'll go on for eternity, the annoying parts of the internet just slinging it at each other past the time words have meaning.

I like Undertale but hate Homestuck after reading a good huge chunk of it but can understand why Undertale isn't for everyone or why someone might like Homestuck I think Slowbeef explained Undertale pretty well, he basically said that it's a fun cute little game with a lot of wit and clever ideas and now that it's been declared the best game of all time it absolutely cannot live up to that label when new players are introduced and it massively amplifies any dislike for it
