By golly gee, if I were working in CIG's Marketing division, I'd refund that guy and say "You are not the backer nor influencer this project needs".

Then my boss would come into my office and shout at me about how we can't afford to refund people right now, plus nothing he said warranted a refund, and that my rear end would be in a sling if I wasn't careful.

And then she'd walk out.

You forget to add, "you regain consciousness slowly and notice ligature marks around your neck followed by an immediate resignation."

But then you'd encourage every backer to start being super racist and that's not how I want to get my refund.

It's a scam so blatant that only the kind of people who buy into white supremacist ideas are susceptible to it.

To the people ITT saying stuff like "He's not representative of the average Citizen," let me assure you that he absolutely is. He's saying the quiet parts real loud but the SC fanbase has been a hog-farm level cesspit of instant death toxicity towards trans people, women, people of color, and so on for 7 years now. It's only gotten more vehement and awful as the general tone of the culture war has changed, but it was always this bad. They may not straight up call you a "Slave-worthy" n-word but they will absolutely hang out with this guy and slap him on the back and say "Boys will be boys, did he make you salty?"

Burn it all to the ground

Calling out racism when using "people of color" which is literally "colored people" which is racist.

Joking aside, is skadden gonna win?

Take notes, kids- this is what video game fandom does to your brain.

"Hey, person who's likely to be the next Wal-Mart shooter. I really like your position on this video game that I'm a fan of. Maybe tone down the part where you think all dark skinned people are subhuman slave races, because it's making it awkward to stand right next to you. But I will. Keep standing right next to you, I mean. Because you like Star Citizen."

I would like to know what twisted perverted logic he is using to insist that nothing he is saying is racist while calling repool "too black" to enjoy star citizen.

But that might involve asking and I don't need that kind of crazy in my life.

Grubby Hobo: Feb 13, 2018; There's something else about bears not many people know. If a bear gets hooked on the taste of crowdfunding, it becomes a man-killer. He'll go on a rampage and has to be destroyed. And that's why you should never hug a bear.

He used to be a gamer, but now he's a Star Citizen.

Dude, have you not seen the Morrow Tour demo and heard the song "Full Burn"?

That poo poo is tight and so good to go, Chris Roberts is just being a nice guy and letting other game makers catch up abit.
