He wasn't frothing at the injustices done to Quinn, or something. I think some of their kind was on him for trying to be neutral, and being neutral in the face of misogyny means you condone it

Decent speech but the whole "we all benefit" vibe seems to clash with the website having a silly pledge of "Gender equality is not only a women’s issue, it is a human rights issue that requires my participation. I commit to take action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls.", heh.

The original article is amusingly hand-wringing, but not totally insane.

Surely that was just a troll article, doubt anyone is that into the Kool-Aid.

Anthony Burch is a self righteous wanker who wrote stuff for Borderlands 2. That and maybe Colonial Marines

Oby delivers.

It's archived, so not a link to Polygon (Kuchera would label this as piracy )

Starting Consortium, it's kind of interesting, I quit when the game got stuck into giving me a distorted screen as my connection the host body messed up or something

Does seem dramatic and precious as I'd expect Kuchera to be, at least. https://archive.today/qSwU9 - Polygon's counterstroke at Sommers.

(probably faked though)

It would totally interfere with your committed relationship with apathy as well. Apathy is a high maintenance mistress.

Hm, that'd make good bereavement counseling. "Your wife's been murdered ? Walk it off, son"

Alternative is usually the Max Payne type scenario, your wife is dead, go kill people.

Is a start, I guess that will be all from her though.

Railing against ? Right. It's something I'm curious about whenever I read litanies of "why this sucks". She has said she was going to provide positive examples in a video late last year or so, if I am remembering correctly. So who knows, maybe she will give a partial answer.

Feh, too much work. I'll stick to The Sims.

She will continue to exist and do stuff outside of the series, correct ?

Always amazed at how parents put up with babies.

Well she can say what she wants and you lot can reiterate it,I'll remain a bit dubious of her when the video's railing on about these tropes. But then again, maybe she will give a positive video on what exactly she would like in detail. Or too much to hope for.

So we're all subtly brainwashed then, it seems. Weird phrasing too, starts off with "Likewise engaging with these games is not going to magically transform players into raging sexists" but then ends with stating that it conditions attitudes - kinds of contradicts the point before. Hm, wonder why people keep saying she is ok with these things and just wants less of them when she mentions them as being harmful and dangerous and offensive. I guess reducing poisons is better than elimination.

Yikes that's huge.

There was a funny article a while back saying that you shouldn't criticize women online, even if you think it is warranted as that makes the Internet unsafe for them http://youtu.be/HSNFZYvgVY4

Better luck next time, Scotland

Yes it is. Helpful in a way to see these people under pressure and watching them lash out, is informative to know them as people. Not seeing this as an issue with bigotry in gaming here, as this thing has blown up into a straight up fight between gaming bloggers and various groups online. Even if it's Quinn, she's disposable and just one woman (a nice target for this anyway, indie developer, claim to fame is a non-game that hipsters idolize, is very reactive to attacks) and isn't really much of rampant bigotry unless you conclude insulting one woman applies generally.
