Horrible Smutbeast posted:The leading conspiracy theory is still that Chloe is actually trans trying t get funds for a gender reassignment surgery. This is a loving mess. It makes me a bit distressed to see the response to the conspiracy that this is for gender reassignment surgery. Is there any proof to this claim, apart from her being silly and talking about the other $25,000 surgery that will improve her life but is not related to the fundraiser at all?

batphantom posted:I know I've been crowing on and on about kickjacking For some reason I hate this term... It just seems so silly to be concerned about people investing tons of money into a kickstarter to make it succeed. They are going against kickstarter rules or something? Or are they sticking it to the man?

Jefferoo posted:Apparently games journalists had talked to Sagal and she told them it was for gender reassignment surgery, but they kept quiet as she said she'd kill herself. Destructoid's Feature Editor has been a total dickweed about on Twitter this morning. To be fair if someone said "Do this or I will kill myself" I would be a bit pissed off. Especially if what they were doing went against my ethics (My ethics being dishonest with people why you want money, not gender reassignment). So we have an editor who went through this and now because there is the whole gender reassignment issue the editor is getting attacked on twitter..

AlbieQuirky posted:No, he's being a dick by calling Sagal "he" and other bullshit. Crack on this woman all you like for being a scam artist, but don't be a jerk about her gender identity. Even if, as the Destructoid editor claims, she is still presenting as male legally and in some social contexts, Allastair isn't the arbiter of her gender identity. You do realize that she blackmailed the editor with her life right? I think the editor is well within his right to put up his hands and be like "Im sick of this poo poo" and not care about gender identity. Edit: Also if you read his tweets he references Chloe as she many times Exmond has a new favorite as of 21:46 on May 13, 2013 |

A Steampunk Gent posted:People commit suicide over gender dysphoria. The lady screwed up how she went about things, but given the distress the condition causes and the toxic environment trans people already have to exist in I don't think any of this scorn or criticism is deserved. Rather, and bear she did attempt suicide over the shame and humiliation inflicted on her, this should be a lesson to cis-people in just how much poo poo trans people have to put up with and the desperate acts they're sometimes driven to. Yes because her trying to scam people has absolutely nothing to do with it. I guess im just cis-scum for not liking people that lie and cheat? Edit: Whatever sympathy I had for her went away after hearing what she did with the journalists. Exmond has a new favorite as of 16:04 on May 15, 2013 |

...of SCIENCE! posted:"I watched that one episode of South Park so I'm fully qualified to say that SRS is an elective, unnecessary surgery people undertake because they think that changing their gender will just magically fix all their problems." I think the post you quoted is in support of SRS. Is there any thread where we can take this discussion? I don't want to miss out on any terrible kickstarters because of this argument.

PostNouveau posted:Everyone should call out abhorrent views when they see them. News, entertainment, whatever, the author kicked off a shitstorm that got Kickstarter to publicly reject PUAs. The guy in question will likely benefit from the attention, but Kickstarter (and probably a lot of other sites who saw this happen) won't put up with his bullshit anymore. I agree that people should call out abhorrent views but be careful with trying to get a mob going. http://arstechnica.com/staff/2013/03/donglegate-is-classic-overreaction-and-everyone-pays/ Edit: I am in no way relating the sexual assualt do it yourself book to the above posted incident. Im just commenting on how everyone calling out , waht to them is abhorrent view, can backfire if people do an immediate knee jerk reaction. Exmond has a new favorite as of 21:56 on Jun 21, 2013 |

Rapdawg's kickstarter posted:The Player - You are the most important character in this work, and it is you who drives the action of this story. Starting out as errand boy on the ship, your pivotal role ultimately dictates the narrative. In this ground breaking kickstarter you play a game and YOU ARE THE MAIN CHARACTER! (Ground breaking video game!) Edit: How does shipping work with kickstarter? Its $50 shipping to outside U.S, being from Canada that seems a bit ridiculous Exmond has a new favorite as of 21:34 on Jul 6, 2013 |

Waffleman_ posted:This is even more hilarious when you consider that player choices and multiple endings are pretty much part of the definition of visual novels. It's like advertising leveling up in an RPG. Another thing that bugs me about the Infection video is they are trying to be the first english visual novel company or something like that? But several companies have them beat and there are several niche companies that either translate or make their own (Academagia devs and etc)..

I really dislike the Erik Chevalier guy (Doom that came to atlantic city). He is starting to do refunds but in the comments section he blames backers for getting the press involved. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/forkingpath/the-doom-that-came-to-atlantic-city/posts/555128#comments

Electric Bugaloo posted:No, actually while rape culture is manifest everywhere- certain manifestations of it do differ in prevalence among cultures and socioeconomic groups. All-out catcalling (like from passerby or cars, often with gestures or repetition) tends to be much more prevalent in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, both urban and rural (with a strong skew toward urban ones- with predominantly black and Latino populations- by population density) than in other North American populations. It's an artifact of social norms (similar attitudes exist in parts of the Caribbean and Latin America) and the effects of socioeconomic depression. Is there poverty austrlian rape culture. Archaelogical rape culture? Rape Mariculture? How verbose can we get here?
