That's a really great idea. Really. :'D

And remember him their slogan : " Be a Rebel Drink Che Guevara Energy Drink. "

noooooooooo

Che Guevara energy drinks. With sugar and natural flavors gathered up and processed by South America's hardest working laborers.

how sad is it that every exaggerated element from /v/the musical 1 & 2 is actually becoming real

Um... last I checked, wasn't there a saying for this sort of thing? What was it... oh, right: 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. A given body type might not be attractive to you, but that no more makes it 'really' not beautiful, since the concept of beauty is inherently subjective. So, you aren't trying to mock fat people, but you are referring to them blanketly as 'landwhales'. That's a bit like trying to insist that you are down with gay people while calling them fags: your stated intentions could not have failed to match your behavior harder if you had tried.

Also, seriously? You guys aren't content with GG's complete and total lack of credibility in the public consciousness that you have to add being dicks about peoples' weight to the multitude of things that this thread that GG would appear to frothing about to anyone who browsed this thread, a list which is so long and full of examples of each entry that posts about journalistic ethics are almost buried under everything else? And you wonder why people don't buy that GG is really concerned with ethics.

Possible corruption at the International Games Developers Association. (IGDA)

Kate Edwards is Executive Director at IGDA. She is also is the founder & principal consultant at a consulting company called Geogrify LLC. The IGDA is a client of Georgrify.

Why is this a big deal? As executive director of IGDA Kate Edwards is supposed to run the IGDA for the benefit of the members of the IGDA. Using her position in the IGDA to hire her consulting company would be a breach of her responsibilities to the members. It has not been proven that Kate Edwards used IGDA for personal gain. A review of the minutes of the meeting when Georgrify was hired would need to be done. I'm assuming that any member of IGDA should be able to access those meeting minutes, but until that happens we won't know for sure. All I know is that on the surface this really stinks.

Sargon has a new video up.

tl:dr Now gamergate is being accused of killing video games because academics are having problems being taken seriously and getting funding to study video games.


This next item is slightly old news but IGDA Puerto Rico has shut down. The head of the IGDA Puerto Rico chapter was the one who was critisizing the twitter auto-blocker that blocked anyone who followed two or more gamergate spokespersons. This is the twitter auto-blocker that was promoted by the IGDA for a while.

At this stage as far as IGDA are concerned I wouldn't want to say too much about them but it will supposedly depend more on how they view this kind of conduct and the nature of her relationships with the other more influencial people there.

At a glance - It claims it's a "one of a kind" company so that could be used as an excuse to cover basically hiring herself.

Her description has the usual double speak that these sheisters use "cultural dimensions of content risk" (careful what you say and to who?), she's a "known thought leader" (scarey - no doubt hunting down hought criminals!)

Something tells me IGDA is going/has already gone the way a lot of the games industry is going so she'll get away with murder if she isn't already.

Do you think we care what our standing in the public consciousness is? Gamers have been called basement dwelling losers for years.

Besides which, the ABC Gamergate story has a higher dislike/like ratio than even the infamous announcement video for Deus Ex: The Fall. Just think about that for a second—the video that crushed fans' dreams of a next-gen Deus Ex game is more loved than the "what it feels like to be a gamergate target" video, and yet public consciousness is somehow against GG? I don't know if that's wishful thinking or just an imagined consensus arising from living inside the hugbox, but it's really sad that some people legitimately believe that to be the case.

I don't think I can respect "Social Science" as an actual scientific field.
Whoa the diaper changing area could almost be considered in the men's side? (IMHO that would rile some SJWs)

this would trigger me as i would have no idea what to do

One should bring some extra handi-wipes when going to the bathroom, not an attorney. When the day comes (and I guess it's here now) that we have to seek legal counsel before using a bathroom or suggesting the location of a bathroom to someone else... we all together as a human civilization need to go sit in the time out corner for 5 minutes and think about what we've done.

At this point the crazy has been cranked up to 11 and we all need to take a deep breath and get a grasp on reality or it float away and disappear like a fart in the wind.

You are right, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. And anyone with working eyes can see that fat people are ugly as sin. And there is a simple explanation for why that attitude is not just acceptable, but correct: being fat is unhealthy. Humans are conditioned through countless generations to see attraction in healthy people. Shaming someone for finding fat people not attractive is like shaming someone for not wanting to smear excrements over themselves. If you don't like that go complain to God, Darwin or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Of course I am not saying that fat people should be rounded up in fat ghettos or some stupid shit like that, that people seem to instantly imply. But sugar-coating harsh facts is more cruel than telling people the straight truth. If you tell them the straight truth it will hurt their feelings, but if they are strong they will overcome that and work to improve themselves. If you sugar-coat things and tell them that they are beautiful in their own very special way you are killing them. Literally, slowly over time. I don't know about you, but I prefer being a dick to having someone's blood on my hands.

And this is coming from a guy who would be a total mess if I didn't regularly "torture" myself at the gym. I got dealt shit genes in that regard, but I can keep working on it.

You mean the same "public consciousness" that's narrated by the very outlets that are being accused of corruption? The only way to get credibility from them is to roll up into a corner and die. No thanks, if honesty is bad, then I want to be the worst person possible.

This would be incredibly awkward is SO many ways.
