copyright of what, exactly? the name? that's a trademark not copyright. The source code? That's already copyrighted when she made it, first-to-file only exists for patents I believe and there's not much to patent with depression quest. More importantly, what exactly does this nerd plan to do with his copyright claim? Is he gonna hire a bunch of lawyers to try to make a claim against something of which prior art already exists and is published? good luck.

What's a good alternative to Kotaku and related SJW ilk? I liked Kotaku's gaming news content but always got annoyed at their SJW BS and frequent revealing of spoilers in their news headlines. I had no idea Rock, Paper, Shotgun also had SJW influences.

Didn't kotaku segregate their 'SJW' content to its own section so reddit manchildren wouldn't have to suffer seeing headlines on ~females~.

I'm not convinced that some unified SJW cabal controls everything, nor that most of the terrible poo poo that goes on is SJW related at all.

Don't know enough about reddit to know if that could be fake but if it isn't eeeeeeeeverybody in this story is just digging so many holes for themselves it's ridiculous

For every dumb 4chan idea they have like trying to copyright it there's some channer with a date circled on a calendar 8 months from now choosing that specific date to enact his vengeance plan, and that's why quinn and anybody on her side can't 'win' this, 4chan will just destroy you through sheer determination, stupidity and lack of anything better to do

Honestly the proper way to protest this poo poo, since everyone wants to make us out to be misogynistic, I propose we simply promote feminism the right way. Brandish and slap on the /v/ and 4chan logo and wear the green and purple stripes and stand out like that, but we must fully support feminism while simultaneously expose the corruption and hypocrisy of the SJW, how it greatly contradicts what feminism is really all about.

What is feminism? The belief that women are human beings are deserve equal human rights. The right to express freely, the right to vote, the right to be equal.

What are some things you can greatly focus on? The wage is a good example. Women get paid less.

Being "misrepresented" in video games is one of the most ridiculous things any SJW could possibly cry out. Video games are graphical creations of the imagination. Any representation in a video game is fictional unless stated other wise. There is not injustice for women in the video game industry, it has all been a plot to make free money.

What else can you focus on? The women that have been in charge of video games. Amy Hennig is a good example, she is currently the head of the writing team for Uncharted.

Focus on women that have been in video games, that have done something truly amazing. By doing so you are promoting feminism and showing the SJW that there is no injustic, that any woman can rightfully be the head of a department if they work hard enough, any any character concept is purely concept and not meant to reflect reality, nor should it.

If anything /v/, when you protest at PAX, I want you to cry. I want you all to cry out your deepest and truest feelings about video games, about art, and integrity. Let your heart be spoken and let the words be heard. Express those feelings, do what you do best and loving rage.

You could try http://www.gamerheadlines.com/ I didn't really know about them until all of this went down, but they seem alright I guess.

The infidelity is confirmed both by her own admission and by the admissions of people in charge of those dudes she hosed. Additionally Quinn and her boyfriend both agreed upon their boundaries and specifically what actions would be considered violating sexual consent -- otherwise known as rape. Which Quinn did. Repeatedly. Which, you're indeed correct, is not at all the same thing as an anonymous accusation of rape that Temkin denied.
