I actually can't stand indie games. But I do want these smug prick bloggers and tweeters to get fired.

And are all of the players in this shitstorm Canadian? What the gently caress? I thought Canadians were supposed to be chill.

i suspect the list is just "all japanese companies" because most of them are too busy trying to keep their business afloat while the market slowly disappears to actually worry that someone was offended by a crossdresser in their game or whatever.

actually i think japan in general doesn't have much time for feminism and social justice as they watch their population slowly shrink and their global relevance disappear.

uhh i literally just c/p'd the name on the list (Anders Brevik (Kvasir Games)) and its actually completely real. hes a goofy lookin fucker, but most of the list has actual company names associated with the dev, and 5 out of the 6 with (independent) I randomly googled had a linked in or a twitter or some other page connecting them to game dev
https://twitter.com/Norwigi

i just read it on 4chan so idk, but the pastebin they linked that went through a lot of names in order was mostly just "this person tested a game once" and stuff like that, theres legit people on the list but who knows.

lol that theres some goony idiot in videogames named Anders Brevik tho.

e. i wonder how much those alexa ratings really indicate. i cant imagine this was the straw that broke the camel's back for that many people. feels like most of the people on 4chan or whatever have been mad @ these websites for awhile and probably didn't go to them. i gave up following vgame news ages ago because all these news sites are so loving bad

I still have yet to see any actual female developers get one of these alleged death threats.

there probably are some but no one on the 4chan side is going to be screencapping it unless ~12 seconds obama knew~ and they don't want to associate themselves with those people going too far. None of the sjw people will do it because they're journalists and they hate doing research or backing up claims apparently

in his... defense(?), I don't think Jeff gives a gently caress about much of anything these days.

you know, id heard people say things to the effect of "jeff totally doesnt care about video games anymore" but thought they were just reading too much into an internet guy. then at their recent pax thing they did he basically said "lol loving videogames i just wanna drive around america in a van and make videos of dumb poo poo"

sounds like hes getting a bit too old for some of this. otoh he has bad opinions on zelda games so i cant defend him

jim sterling is a fat idiot but i watched his most recent video and (as usual) seemed pretty middle of the road on the whole issue and didn't seem to be in the same camp as most of the other journalists, nor 4chan. he also seems like he might play videogames which is more than most journalists seem to these days so i cant totally hate him.

i dont think ive ever seen more people get mad about a youth novel on tape played in the background of a "pick things up from the 90s" simulator.

i do love how the things journalists hold up as the exemplars of their medium as art have little to no gameplay though.

most videogame journalists strike me as people that are now middle-aged and realized they're tired of videogames. go figure all they want to talk about is indie games that take an hour to finish tops because then they can write something that isn't just a copy-paste of a press release and feel like real critics. sadly they've spent the last 20 years doing nothing of import so anything they might have learned in university has faded away and you end up with a bunch of really poorly written opinion pieces about some nonsense.

basically what im saying is we should murder and eat all video game people

Which, actually, raises the question--why HASN'T Twitter said anything about this? Why has nobody reported any of these harassment things to twitter, who has the power to ban users. Wouldn't that be a logical step, if you feel blocking hate speech wasn't sufficient?

most of the actual harassment is coming from people making throwaway accounts to troll them, and twitter makes it real easy to make accounts. chances are the people who sent those original death threats just made throwaways at a public computer and fired the posts off after looking up their addresses online. the one @ anita was a throwaway and lol if they didn't cover their tracks. they might not even care about any of this and just saw a chance for an easy laugh.

also twitters a website where terrorists post about murdering civilians and poo poo, i dont think anyone is ever gonna try and moderate the shitstorm that is that website more than they have to.
