Mario is harmless compared to Pacman. Dark rooms, neon colours, electronic music, eating pills all the time... Poor little Pacman already suffered from persecutory delusions, seeing ghosts around every corner. Mushroom Mario was nothing compared to him.

No you're all wrong guys, doom is the worst game. It proves there was a cult of 5 year olds who raised the dead in an abandoned spaceship and inhumanely shot the already dead but now undead scum. Like, if all this isn't opening your eyes to our one true lord and savior the rainbow sentinel and not encouraging you to smash GG skulls, you are misogynistic scum who are part of the problem and need to be wiped out along with other bigots.

Never mind the fact that 90%+ of the population were indentured serfs and couldn't travel at least in part due to the absence of fast and affordable global travel and were likely illiterate and completely ignorant of the world beyond their village and never mind the fact that the overwhelming majority of rpg games in medieval/fantasy settings have a vast and diverse choice of characters to chose from and most strategy games have diverse choice of nations to chose from - as per usual this paper is directed at people who know nothing of video games.

The article from mediaeval dot net about Cooper's paper is full of the usual pc prejudices and clearly they know next to nothing about GG other than what they saw on law and order. So called academia is a joke to the rest of the world and it's good to see people are taking this garbage to task.

Anti-neofem and non-gamer Diana Davison's commentary on Old Sarky and GG contains a brief "feminist" ananlysis of pacman.

This means you are probably familiar with Rome: Total War mod named Europa Barbarorum. If you are not, if you have original Rome:TW and lots of free time I can only recommend it.

I'm bringing it here as positive response to all professional complainers about games' content. The whole mod began with some people dissatisfied with the way Creative Assembly represented some factions in Rome:TW, but their "outrage" was aimed to positive effect: "how to make it better" rather than "how to force the others to change it according to our demands".
The final product surpassed the original game in every way expect the size and speed and doubles as interactive history book about ancient Roman world - and I mean scholar's history, not the "politically correct" or flashy "Hollywood" version.

Skyrim <span class="bold">and</span> the elder scrolls?

You never heard of the installment "The elder scrolls: elder scrolls"?

Yes, I've heard of EB, and I intend to try it out. I have Rome 2 and 1 ATM and I'm playing 2. But far from outrage, its critique of the arcadey-ness of R1 and a historically accurate fix that went above and beyond the base game.Most people demanding stuff be changed in games doesn't have half a brain when compared to such people.

EDIT: Apparently, vice is getting in on the hipster gamer market and making a game site for the non-gamer crowd to understand games. After Kotaku, Ploygon and G$, this will be my fourth boycott of a site. Any site that sources from Brianna Wu and hires Leigh Alexander is beyond saving.

It's a quote from mediaeval dot net. Concentrate when reading. And try to remember to go to the bathroom from time to time.
Wiki.gamergate boycott list and support list.

I'm all in for voting them in to OP DN

Yeah, I know. But GOG forum quoting does things however they happen to please, as always.

Not to offend anyone but this is interesting : https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3ejhkh/showerthought_social_justiceradfeminism_isnt_a/

This should be archived just in case it gets deleted, this is pure gold, I mean, it makes total sense, it is not the first time someone describes SOCJUS and feminism as religious thought, but it is one of the best explained examples.

They have an archiver over at KiA who archives EVERYTHING. She / he probably did it by now.

What is OSCON?
