turn off the TV posted:It's because VoidBurger is a got danged SJW who ruined Let's Plays on SA by not voting for Donald Trump. The only rational course of action was to start stalking and doxxing her and pretty much anyone else who expressed a vague dislike for Trump in any way. lol she got flak because she was one of the people who basically accused lowtax of being the worst person ever for NOT protecting a known predatory pedophile. way to make it into some political struggle for emancipation or whatever -¨whats your opinion on fake news

steinrokkan posted:lol You're full of poo poo FYI. VB and the others got banned because they called Lowtax out on having a stream with his daughter themed around shmorky killing himself. No one anywhere was defending him. I think one person went so far as accusing him of just using his daughter on the stream for attention, but for the most part is was people thinking the entire idea was terrible.

How do you "force" someone to review your video game Also 5 seconds of googling shows that she is working on another game. A Chuck Tingle dating sim.

Garrand posted:You're full of poo poo FYI. I think you are mistaken. At any rate, it had nothing to do with Trump, and everything to do with her yelling at Lowtax and his daughter for not living their lives right, those fuckers. Which is rich after ignoring the year or more when Lowtax tried to support Shmorky at his own personal expense, despite repeated slander campaigns by Shmorky's acquaintances which included trying to convince people in Lowtax life he was a child abuser, only to be repeatedly victimized and emotionally abused by the Shmork. I think he earned that one joke. But of course you can slip up just once, and nobody is going to give a poo poo about your history as they try to lay sick burns on you / discredit you. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Mar 6, 2017 |

The full story is that someone criticized lowtax for the stream (not actually defending schmorky), lowtax sent a dogpile of people on her, and then Voidburger, Psych, and co criticized lowtax for the dogpile which he responded to by banning them. Edit: i really like how all the good posters are driven off this forum but people who actually believe Zoë Quinn conspired with journalists remain.

Nobody defended the (literally) lovely child groomer.

Nobody defended the (literally) lovely child groomer. OK, it was still a dumb hill to die on, or to get banned on. The banning was revoked later anyway, AFAIK, and it's lovely to get mad at the Tax for it when it happened amidst a pretty lovely personal situation where he had to talk to his children about uncle Shmorky, who had been invading their lives on and off again, being a bad, bad man. I guess the people who got mad that Lowtax would throw poor Shmorky under the bus were some different fine folks.

The bans were never revoked. They were all banned from the admin panel so there's no ban av and nothing in the Rap Sheet but lowtax just told them all to gently caress off.

Funnily enough, outside of Psych ( who was just pissed off at the whole ordeal by the end of it) none of the banned people actually tweeted at lowtax their dissent either. Damehasclass just started by voicing her disagreement in her own twitter wherein lowtax fans jumped on her and got LT himself involved. Same goes with VB; she basically disagreed with lowtax both about the stream and the banning of DHC but never actually tweeted at lowtax and whoom, suddenly banned. The point is that these are people who were just stating some opinions to their own followers. At no point did they actually jump at or badger lowtax about this.

Tweeting about somebody involves them, no matter how you format it. And since it's public, it's naive to assume the target of your tweets won't eventually learn about your posts. You probably wouldn't expect the target to be vindictive, but again, it was a tense situation with a personal dimension, so it's understandable he was pretty trigger happy. It could have been solved more elegantly, it wasn't, it's ridiculous to make it out to be part of some grand conspiracy of the alt-right. Which is what got me to post about this clusterfuck in the first place.

To help ease the conversation to a less toxic topic: I quite liked the DnDiesel video where Vin Diesel played DnD with some random internet people. It was really fun to watch, you could tell he had played the game a lot because he was paying so much attention to the DM when he was describing things, and making good decisions based off of the world building. Also loved his catchphrase whenever he got a critical hit: He thrust his fist forward and just went "CRITICAL! " Like a Mortal Kombat announcer says "Finish Him" It was really cute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLEMb_RIZ3o.

They're prominent voice actors who do an ongoing D&D campaign with other prominent voice actors. It's awesome, but each episode is like 4 hours long so it takes dedication to get through even one session.
