Lurdiak posted:Just a heads up, the person who was accused of the abuse that led to the "games industry #metoo" movement that's been happening for the past week committed suicide. This is going to be weaponized by really disingenuous people any time an accusation pops up for years to come. So get ready for that poo poo. Noted shitstain The Quartering already did a video on it calling him 'another innocent victim of cancel culture'. So yeah, weaponization is already in full swing.

Skwirl posted:What's the story behind that? Was it supposed to be a Vertigo book or something? The story I have heard from my FLCS owner, who I have known for 25 years and has no reason to lie to me, is that Wood wanted to wrap up DMZ in 60 issues but DC/Vertigo had him under exclusive contract for another year and insisted that he do another 12. As soon as he was done he went off to Image and pitched Starve, in which a chef is forced to do one more year of a TV show he no longer wants to do because he feels it's exhausted its potential after the female station runner tells him he's contractually obliged to do it. Yep, no parallels with Karen Berger here, no sir.

It's pretty loving scary. They've whipped themselves into quite a fervor.

All this time these abusive bigots denied up and down that harassment, doxxing, and encouraging people via social media and forums to en masse pile on someone they didn’t like had nothing to do with real life consequences like suicide, but the moment someone they support is impacted suddenly oh! it’s totally the victim’s fault?

I guarantee no more than a tenth of these very upset thumbdicks have played Night in the Woods, a narrative-focused, largely non-violent indie game that ends up being largely about the necessity of learning how to gracefully adapt as the world changes around you. This is all entirely because it's another chance to pile on Quinn, and out of seething resentment over the usual "men's rights" horseshit. It's a lot like Renfamous, really; Quinn became the generic face of the enemy for these people, despite her relative lack of influence in the industry they're ostensibly very concerned about.

It's a lot like Renfamous, really; Quinn became the generic face of the enemy for these people, despite her relative lack of influence in the industry they're ostensibly very concerned about. For the original gamergaters, Quinn is hate figure #1. Much like with everything the chuds get involved in, by this point they have their own narrative and history that has nothing to do with facts, but is the outcome of years of talking bullshit to one another.

E the Shaggy posted:Do these people just think that sexual assault doesn't ever happen? They know it happens, but they don't think it should be a crime. Because, if its a crime, then they will go to jail. So, they either normalized their own abuse internally and think this isn't a crime or they are fully aware that they're abusive and don't want to be punished for it.

E the Shaggy posted:Do these people just think that sexual assault doesn't ever happen? They think it happens, they think it happens a lot. They've just got a more dramatic variation of what most people think of sexual assault: when it happens, it involves a dark alley and a stranger. Also, the stranger is always a minority. In that perspective, they believe that there's an epidemic of rape, but all our hands are tied because these villainous manipulators who can't take a joke or are deliberately trying to target innocent men to ruin their lives. Odds are, you can probably find someone in your life who believes that, likely a lot of people, though most know that saying it so bluntly could get them in trouble. The difference between Your Republican Aunt and your average chud is partly saying the quiet part loud, partly the chuds have a more relentless and seething hatred of women, but when you get to the nitty gritty, their worldview isn't that out of step with the norm.

Lawtwitter has had multiple discussions on it which until this last week came back to it being hard tondo because the entire suit was stupid so it's tough to argue any lawyer could have reasonably prevailed. However there's been a bunch of things in the last 5 days which have shifted that to 'yeah a malpractice lawyer could get something out of this'.

Not one of the famous ones.

They still managed to blame Renfamous for this even though she wasn't even involved.
