This is kind of the thing really. Even with a surface level grasp and explanation of what she's talking about, stuff like Other M and the like gets glossed over in favour of her rambling about riding boots looking like high heels. :psyduck:

She has legitimate points but the way she expresses them, and her apparent tolerance of Mcintosh allowing her to use her face as a mouthpiece, really drags down whatever's being said.

that guy does seem to be a pretty big idiot, it's true.

Err you're technically correct there were some.. but those populations existed, in what few numbers they did, largely in the Italian City States (mainly Venice, and Naples), France, the Iberian Peninsula, and some penetration into the Holy Roman Empire but it really depended on the state and even then we are talking about like a very small group of people (like in the realm of 20-100 in any single state, almost certainly merchants)

You'd have a much better case for Gypsies and the Jews who were both ethnic minorities existing in Europe during the time whom had very large minority communities who existed in the time, are usually not represented, and experienced tons of oppression, pogroms, and racism in Europe till this day.

Like for someone who talks about ignorance, you sure have a very "American-Centric" idea of what racism is as opposed to what it was in Europe's context.


Yes, saying that "making poo poo up about history to make us feel better" equals thinking that having any black character in medieval Europe fantasy is grotesque.

Okay...

You are mistaking "there was a black person in medieval Europe" with "black people were living in Eastern Europe and were a notable minority", which is important when making a historical game, hth.

I don't think anyone has been talking about a historical game.

The goon presence outside of SA mostly consists of LF rejects and AGG folks desperately trying to bend the narrative to their will. Most of the regular goons from Hellthread refuse to engage on Twitter or other sites. Cardboard Box A (Cranboonitz on twitter) and Spacedad are two prime examples of goons who have done lost their mind over gamergate.

that ignores all the insane pedophiles on whatever SS off-site exists, the pedophiles from badgames, etc. and the pedophiles who went to 4chan and then 8chan. lf had some too I guess

To be fair, she won't talk about her video game discussions with anyone, especially on the internet. Her Youtube channel has comments turned off, and she ignores all comments on Twitter or through e-mail on her website.

yeah I have no idea why she disabled the insanely rational and reasonable forum of youtube comments. that really lowered the level of discussion surrounding the Issues.

I think you mean pro-GG right? That was 420chan which split form 4chan out of a desire to share childporn. 8chan was later created by users of 420chan who wanted additional features on their image boards for some reason, but still wanted the child porn.

they are completely allowed to be mad, so are people who didn't pitch in at all and want other people to be mad, whether or not any of that is valid or remotely worth worrying about it is a different issue.
