Baulder Gate shit

Which (along with Tracer's ass) resulted in a massive amount of new people signing on to KIA.

That's what happens when every time someone says "Tracer's ass is not sexualized" or "this expansion is buggy & poorly written" is met with "get back to KIA you filthy shitlords!!!!1!!!111!" by the small number of people defending that garbage.

Come to think of it, that woman is just arbitrarily bringing GG into this because Shoe0nHead only mentions video games once and doesn't bring up GG at all. GG has absolutely nothing to do with it, but she's bringing it up because, I dunno, Shoe supports it and what she's doing is harassment somehow. Maybe she wants people to be mad at her because she enjoys the attention?

Edit: actually Shoe did bring it up once, but that's because the whole thing gave her so much unwarranted attention. I still stand by the rest of what I said, her bringing it up was unnecessary.

GG is harassing women! Go harass this woman who is harassing women, social justice mob!

My brain cannot handle the amount of hypocrisy that comes from these people sometimes.

While I don't like some people tying this into GG, it seems to show that her getting fired was justified. I think she was blaming GG for this because she was scared of losing her job and had to find something to blame wildly for her problem.

And why not blame a group that's been fighting dishonesty, hypocrisy and other assorted amoral behavior for over a year?

I know you're being sarcastic, but it makes sense from their side why they would blame us. It doesn't make it right, but they will never quit, because that would be an admission of defeat.

GG's an easy scapegoat. Too many people trust the media easily these days, so when they say we are a group of women-harassers, that is effectively what we are in the eyes of the public. Obviously that's garbage, but I'm just trying to say that blaming GG for this is probably the easiest and most convenient move there is for her.

She should've come out and owned up to her mistake, like a professional. Scapegoating is a cheapass tactic. This has probably ruined her career, yet she may have been able to salvage it if she apologized. Employers of all kinds want accountable people, not scapegoaters.

What shoe did does not even count as harassment. She is a heavy critic of feminism and basically had the huevos to tell those mad women what she thinks. In fact My sister saw the video and said that was the right thing to do.

Your sister must hate her gender then. :)

Onto the journalism side of things. Deep Freeze has shown multiple rather severe cases.

These include reviews Metal Gear Solid V coverage involving a heavily-controlled play environement with a company PR handler.

Also a few sensationalist articles with little research.

Assuming the article actually tells a fair side of the story, and not an embellished story towards gg approval or anti-gg sentiments.

Also Allison Rapp says her family and extended family are now being targeted by people trying to contact their employers to get them fired because of the dirt on her. Any news on this?

Her views on children I don't agree with, but escorts and some adult webcaming aren't exactly immoral unless they also involved children. Then again I think prostitution in general should be legalized and government regulated the same as restaurants or hotels need to pass inspections. Cause it will cut down on the rampant amount of stds if you require protection to be worn and cover medical costs under some form of employment agreement, as well as practically decimating a large chunk of abuse and human trafficking by making one of their main sources no longer able to operate in the dark, but become an accountable and regulatable part of society.

Harassment to family and extended family, and knowing the internet? Plausible but unconfirmed.

As for Using Gamergate as a scapegoat? I call that a mixed blessing. Yes its a shame that Gamergate keeps being bought up (or Risen from the Dead) as an "excuse" for unethical behavior but it can also be seen as a shotgun to the foot. (Mixed blessing)

To clarify, if someone declares Gamergate, in a journalistic. "Feminist" or game related field, as a reason for Harassment without any invocation or relation to it previously. Then its a huge red flag that they want attention. Its that attention that attracts gamergate and leads to a full investigation of that person. Sort of like a self fulfilling prophecy, if maybe just a smidge more poetic.

Blaming gamergate for things it never did or couldn't have done only adds more fuel to the accusations of poor journalistic ethics and blatant croynism in the industry. The fact that these people continue to have their plights highlighted by the media pretty much proves gamergate's point.

I mean this would be like if there was a person against police brutality and several cops show up and shoot him dead unprovoked. At some point these journalists and industry members have to look in the mirror and realize just how much they've already done to validate the criticism they receive.

You're right about the last part, the only problem is in her case, she was doing it under the same name she was using while employed by Nintendo.

There's no morally grey area there, she breached contract, Nintendo had full right to fire her. Allison Rapp's firing was her own fault, and she knows it.

"7 Ways To Make Art Less Racist"

u fukn wot m80

Ok, bear with me here. I'm about to go full edgelord.

No seriously, fuck these people royally. I'll make my art any way I goddamn well please, that's my freedom as an artist in any medium. Fuck you for telling me I can't.

Fuck these people so much. I can't even describe just how much I hate fucktards like these, trying to shape art to make it 'appropriate'. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em.

I agree with ADCoRB, art should be subjective.

And to cite the racism in gaming as an art choice thing, wasn't there a European middle-ages war game that was heavily panned because it didn't have any people of different colored skin tones in it?

Not her gender, but people who focus in gender so much. My sister can't tolerate gender and identity politics. She says it is horrible to be seen as a woman because you are either sheltered or discriminated (Depending on the idiot type) because of it. She is a robotics engineer and often says "When I am at work I don't want to be seen as a woman, I want to be seen as an employee, because being seen as a woman makes it look as if you were there to fill a gender quota or because you slept with someone, in the end feminism and identity politics make discrimination toward women even worse."

Is there a video of that speech?

There's a good chance that there isn't. People like this tend to be very anti-documentation/anti-actual-reporting. Remember that crazy professor at Mizzou? How about those times Hillary Clinton set up high-power white noise generators when she gave speeches so that only people who paid over $20K to attend her meeting could hear her, and reporters that are kept outside can't hear a word?

It was Kingdom Come: Deliverance. That was part of the reason Daniel Vávra went on our side of this little war (alongside growing up on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain).


@AlarkozTheAncient

It was a joke.

Well, GDC has a YouTube channel, there could be a video of it uploaded. *shrugs

At this point, can somebody please spare a little botnet and run a DDOS on kiwifarms? Because these fuckers need to be stopped.

We are terrorist again, amazing all the things we are


Oh Anita, you and your nonsense.

What is that person talking about kiwifarms referring to?

Also, I won't read that ridiculous article on Not Your Mama's Gamer. I remember that stupid article by them during the summer, I think it was about politics. And the picture they start out with, ho boy.

And that list by Anita I think was from many months ago. I think the one part about Female bodies not being varied is a bit of sophistry. There isn't all that much variety in men's bodies, either. I mean, sure, one could argue the way men are portrayed is better, but saying men have a lot of variety is rather disingenuous.

InnerPartisan is part of the AntiGamer Twitter Goon Squad along with m_m_myers, kav_p, SuperSpacedad, 2dAmMuslim and more who spend all their time trying to #StopGamerGate2014 and failing horribly due to being retarded.

I think he's referring to all the dirt Kiwi Farms dug up on Rapp.

Salon got hit with layoffs, Cracked got sold, Al Jazeera America is signing off permanently, and don't forget that recently Vice lost 17% of their web hits, and the Guardian lost over $100 Million & fired 250 people.


LambdaConf gives one of the most comprehensive beatdowns to SJW BS I've ever seen.


Old School British games journalist Paul Rose/Mr. Biffo tries for "both sides are dumb"-style neutrality, can't take the cognitive dissonance, comes over to KIA, and is now gulping down red pills.

Somewhat related because Censorship on the Internet: The thought police have a kickstarter

Seriously though, who thought this was a good idea?

Current funds sit at 3K out of 75K and is active.

"Important to note: We do not allow any commenting on our site because we do not want to host a platform for any bullying ourselves. Our database also cannot be searched by keyword (i.e, homophobia, racism, etc) which means a self-proclaimed vigilante would be unable to round up a specified group of online offenders."

Anyone want to start writing emails?

Americans overwhelmingly side with Hulk Hogan, not Gawker

Also Hulk accuses Gawker chief of hiding millions to avoid payout
Gawker’s stated net worth of $83 million seems as phony as a WWE bout -- and Hulk Hogan’s lawyers want access to confidential documents to try to prove it, according to court papers.

HULKAMANIA IS RUNNING WILD, BROTHER!!!

Was Nintendo Right to Fire This Employee?

Fairly neutral article about the whole Rapp BS, gets heat from some SJWs, one being Randy Lee Harper for the fact this female journalist decide to be neutral and they get mad, even when it tells Gamer Gate is what they think it is and they call her literally Gamer Gate

I contacted Rapp multiple times to give her an opportunity to confirm or deny these allegations, or provide context for her essay. She refused to answer any of my questions, and then promptly blocked me on Twitter and Facebook.

It looks that asking for comments is now harassment, i am amazed of how many thins are harassment, but trying to fire or destroy someone life for not being a feminist progressive that believes in some crazy variation of Social Justice is not, is quite amazing…

Also i love the journalist is an asian female.
