Dapper Dan posted:To be honest, I don't give two shits about ethics in game journalism. Its like trying to take the NRA out of Guns and Ammo. It is not going to happen. Besides, if it doesn't stay terrible, how will I laugh at 'games journalists'? Yeah, pretty much, I think alot of people just want to see gawker and polygon fall which they seem to be doing on their own. As i said in the other thread, Both sides suck. GG is basically /pol/ jr at this point and it kinds of just sits in its own corner playing with itself and listening to whatever libertarian website talks about it. the antis/sjws/anti gamer/whatever you call them are now just running around screaming at what ever game is popular at the moment (witcher 3/ arkham knight/ soon mgs5) and calling it sexist or racist or gross and violent. just look at josh and anita reactions to doom or josh tirade on the esrb. look at the long angry articles over their not being minorities in a polish farytale. I agree with the basic line of their ideals. I want more diverse characters and stories and games. but they want everything to be a vehicle for their train of thought and ideals.

CrashCat posted:I've thought about this topic off and on since I took Ralp's offer of Hellthread amnesty and bowed out and I admit I used to tend toward basically the same gut feeling as above. As a lovely old computer nerd, my natural instinct is to say "use the computer better, idiot" in any situation, but that came from an era where even using a computer was a "privilege" in the most traditional sense of the word. At best most people had a lovely computer that wheezed under the strain of connecting to AOL to slowly load a few pages of garbage before they were knocked off the phone by call waiting. Now seemingly everyone has a computer a hundred times more powerful than anything I owned as a kid sitting in their pocket and uses it constantly to poo poo whatever verbal diarrhea comes into their brain out on to the world within a moment's notice, rather than just a handful of guarded, paranoid nerds. Yeah, alot of Antis never learned old rule "dont feed the trolls. And they did, hell alot of them make money of victimbux and patrion pity.

Terrible Opinions posted:It probably helps that he has loads of his parents' money, while Anita herself doesn't really seem to be wealthy. Any argument about her stealing kickstarter money is hilariously wrong, and over much much less money than McIntosh puts into the show. Well in the intro of her college thesis she mentions josh helped her. I think he has been their since the beginning. She just knows how to spins his bullshit into something palatable.

nopantsjack posted:In Arkham Knight there is a point where you can choose between one of two damsels to rescue, they are 2/3rds of the female characters with models thus far and the third is poison ivy who you defeat and imprison within her intro cutscene. its a fake choice you can save both, and babs is alive and safe, her shooting herself is an illusion from all the fear toxin/joker aids. and poison ivy saves the city with trees

Helsing posted:This thread is hilarious. Thats the thing, I go to a relatively liberal state school and i have havent seen any sjws nor any young republicans protests. I had a few teachers where pretty far on the left, 2 of them were kinda of awful teachers for varying reasons. But most of my college experience has been non-political. and yeah, coffin is a pathetic gently caress. A lot of the anti like coffin, burch, bob and to an extent wu are only going full sjws to fit in with a perceived click. i mean hell burch destroyed his own marriage so its all he has got now. and coffin might be faking parts if not all his homelife for pity.

Bonesnap posted:So who is the worst person in all of this? Is it TheRalph? Anthony Burch? Or is it all of humanity, for existing in the first place? My money would be split between Leigh Alexander and Phil Fish out of those two, fish is the best, he knew when to gently caress off and go into hiding. Leigh alexander kinda just devolved into an rear end in a top hat. ralph is pretty lovely and burch is just a sad waste living in the shadow of his more talented younger sister.

The IronMonkey posted:The visuals of things like this from the whole GG thing are very troubling. poo poo like this does real damage to leftist causes in general and is what is giving GG fuel. White Males telling minorities that they know best and calling anybody disagreeing with them some variation on white male nerd is (None of that in THIS thread) why we see so much backlash against something that should be imminently reasonable like social justice. and thats what pisses me off the most, I am a giant lefty and i view alot of the anti's as everything wrong with the left.

Uncle Wemus posted:Honestly this would have died out if not for the fact that it has a huge number of living trainwrecks involved, and every couple days they double down on their insanity. Thats got to be GGs biggest strength from anonymity. We only ASSUME proGG people are insane, we KNOW aGG are because they are only too happy to treat the internet like a therapist. well antis try to use Rules for Radicals rules against GG and it doesnt work, because 1. the anti's have the power and 2 the gg/channers/whoever have very little to lose. If the anti's didnt push the neo puritan bullshit. i wouldnt give two shits about them or GG.

I am not some /pol/ tard who drinks the right wing kool aid and believes the jews and leftists control everything or some poo poo. I just dont like oversensitive neo puritans shiting on things i like because they are too lovely to fight for actual things like the fact that pro choice rights are slowly being eroded or that cops can get away with shooting black kids in the back.
