ikanreed posted:Whatever "side" of gamergate you fall on, gamergate is exactly the kind of intellectual masturbation constantly missing the complex reality forest for the pedantic trees that this thread was made to mock. Nah. The thing with the Darkly Enlightened, the Alt-Right, and LWers is that they've all turned away from the forest of Reality and declared the clear cut stumps left behind when the chainsaws of Enlightenment went through the most important part of the woods.

Parallel Paraplegic posted: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 Like, I legit believe it is the best game of all time but this is basically true because that sets an impossibly high imagined bar for anyone who's going in blind.

Even on SA the thread for it was full of shipping, arguments about what fanon was better and genuine rants about someone using the term genocide wrong when describing a kill everyone playthrough.

I have seen people brigade threads with transphobic poo poo just because a few people said they found the Plinkett reviews misognystic and apparently that meant GBS needed to come into purge all the sjws

My immediate reaction when I read Gjoni's rant was pretty much "wow sounds like you are a stage 5 clinger and managed to strongarm someone into a relationship with you because she's overly sympathetic to broken people and didn't want to hurt your feelings; you probably should've seen the warning signs coming and not tried to start a monogamous relationship with a girl who didn't really want a monogamous relationship". not that I have any idea what that's like at all

quote:A million derisive comments I feel I should defend myself. I'm in the Dark Enlightenment thread, I know the origins of gamergate and how goddamn stupid it is. The goddamn name of the thing refers to a piece by (noted crazyperson though)Leigh Alexander talking about how gaming has succeeded so much as a medium that developers no longer need to only target people thought of as 'gamers,' and that they can make things that look risky and still come out on top because of it. The weird people who made gamergate happen took this as an insult. Somehow. But guys, it's been years. This should be over. It's been loving stupid since the goddamn beginning, but it got turned into a culture war thing. Stuff doesn't end when people still want to fight over it, and boy howdy do people still want to fight over it.

The only thing I know about Homestuck is that it has a really contrived and dumb romance thing based on playing card suits. Also spitting in buckets is involved somehow.
