I prefer reddit for loss of sanity. Just saying :)

'sup guys! Just wanted to check out this thread after someone in another thread described it as some sort of mutual downvote fest. I see that person did not exaggerate! :P

Carry on!

strangely enough, its not exclusively antis that get downvoted

but thats none of my buisness



in other news:

at request of the original backer, obsidian changed the "transphobic" to one that mocks the sjw hate machine.

perhaps anita and full mcintosh were not 100% correct in their facts

but then again mcintosh believes facts are not so important

What does it say now?

on that vid there was a 12/10 comment chain


Firedorn Lightbringer, a leader among men!
Humourous and Inviting, A Definate Ten!
However, he underestimated the Power of the Bitch
and winded up like a mugged victim, dead in a ditch.

MrDemonArc, What a Cruel Fate
Read a Troll's comment and fell for the bait
All because his grammar was sub-par
Now his rhymes will be remembered near and far.

This Comment Chain was well and dandy,
But it appears some of our guests got a bit randy
They slapped eachother their cocks in hand...
Not tolerated by SJWs, they were forcefully banned...

From the Witcher 3-DLC game card.

Cue SJW-butthurt in 3... 2... 1...

I don't blame Obsidian for what they did...
I can only feel bad for the developers but not just them... developers in general.
The political correctness police is going crazy nowadays... it wouldn't be surprise if tomorrow they would find Geralt's hair to be "problematic" and to be "discriminatory towards elderly people" or something...
I guess people need the illusion that they fight for something noble...

So.. Wu and a couple of others talked to Cracked a week or so ago...
http://www.cracked.com/article_22230_5-ugly-realities-being-woman-in-gaming-industry.html

Semi-relevant news!

I skimmed it, I'll do an actual read later. So far title is "5 Ways The Gaming Industry Is Way More Sexist Than You Think" #3 is Many Women have to choose between Family and Career." Everybody has this issue. Kids take a lot of time. If you are in a career that requires 60 to 80 hours a week of work, and you are the lower income parent, you either don't have kids, you change careers or you create your own business within your original career so you can set your own hours. That is not unique to the video game industry. #5 is Progress is being made. So we have an article that is supposed to give 5 points and two of them are already invalid. This is really going to convince me that the video games industry is full of sexist mysoginsts.

Edit: Took a little time and read some more. #2 If you talk about these issues at all, that's all you're ever know for. In other words if you say or do something that a lot of people consider silly you are going to wear that for the rest of your career. I'm guessin the author never heard the joke about how it doesn't matter how many accomplishments you have if you get caught having sex with a sheep.

I used to go to Cracked every day. Now I don't do that anymore. The quality have taken a deep nosedive.
Remember when they let Zoe write an article there? Then I know that I was not going back to the site.

But brothels never existed. This certainly does not meet the PC narrative and must be banned immediately because it would be just and wise.
Yeah they put about 12 nails in the coffin with that one. Like hey lets give a known habitual liar / rapist a pulpit from which to spew more lies and promote some non existent game development career which is actually a pitty party to drive donations to the hipster welfare system known as patreon.

The perpetually offended are an untapped energy source. I expect we could find a way to capture the hot air and bullshit whilst refining it into some kind of methane / turbine system to power the West Coast. At least then they would be contributing in a positive way.

I just stumbled again over Internet Aristocrat's videos. If you watch it now, you see how far they have shifted the front line away from the initial discussion and why many people were so outraged about - the so called misogyny and harassment.

Aristocrat

Basically no one knew Wu before she injected herself into the discussion through her Twitter jokes about gamers and the following alleged harassment and hate by GG, which has not been proven.

Nobody know about WU before Gamergate, heck, I only knew about because she went to the TV to cry.
