"Reading the Kotaku comments also tells me that they do not censor dissenting opinions - they just delete the really bad, hurtful stuff." Funny how that always works out, I find.

Hm, interesting that you'd say there is no corruption. Thin line between them being bought off or being plain useless, I suppose. If the accusation encourages "journalists" like Walker, Grayson, Sessler to be under stricter standards, no big deal.

That was a long flounce there. Remember the 'Like' button does exactly what you posted.

Hm, I must not have been looking closely at the scheming. So then this is all a giant smear campaign on Quinn, as relevant as she is, but done by who and why ? For the most part this caught fire and left Quinn a while back, the curious crackdown on discussion about it on some sites sure did help - gives the impression she has plenty of friends in key places (r/gaming moderator was a rather funny one)

So there's a conspiracy against Quinn ?

God damned Humanities majors, I bet.

So, it's not Hell, but we can see it from here then. Okay, so then yes, that is a flounce then. Come now, you've been on forums long enough to not be tired by the ceaseless batle. Embrace it.

Does this mean you'll flounce out of this thread ?

Grayson wrote on about that reality show that fell apart, but that was about it. Think Grayson also funds her via Patreon so that looks iffy, as well. Snowballed beyond any scandal concerning Quinn directly, what with the initial rumours then the Streisand effect and her and Fish's being "hacked", etc.

Probably semantics but you don't invade a place you occupy.

Go play it now, it's on GOG and is cheap. Well that's good to hear, hope it does well enough for a suit to approve GK 4.

Ah, good, much better. It is hard to follow the hobby without wandering on some of these 'press' sites, I suppose one can use aggregators and glean stuff there. Always AdBlock I guess, hah.

Of course. That article is suprisingly level for the Guardian, was expecting something more inflammatory. Spectating on this is nice, though, amazing how passionate people comment on something virtual

It is nice to watch things go wrong now and then, though I suppose more passively than wasting time hunting down reviews. I suppose those that worked on it may feel bad, but eh, big deal.

Seems pretty widespread, reading about one does feel they are all of the same mind about this. And the set of "journalists" is quite a lot smaller. Not that you're much concerned about "helping" the situation.

If I can suffer through Sarkeesian's nasal voice and the smirk etched on her face or Stirling's voice (strangely only he and Rob Ford make me homicidal just by seeing them on screen for 30 seconds), you can take some cussing Cuban guy.

That could be fun to watch, see how each would adjust tactics to try to diminish weak points.

Nothing Schumacher wrote was any news to me even if it is gospel to you. Well maybe the insinuation that the Wrong People are proto-fascists, haven't heard that before. No surprise he thinks Alexander was alright with her diatribe, but a lot of the other articles on "gamers" being bad have a tone or just state that people that like the big named games or aren't into the art games are vile. Also having 10 articles or so drop at the same time all preaching at the audience will, get people's backs up. It's fun for me, I'm rather enjoying watching this fight and the gaming "journalists" getting uppity. Not too sure profanity is much of a slight against it, and as for repeating talking points...hmm, I'd say both do that. He does say that gaming "journalism" being whores isn't anything new, think there was a video last week where someone said all they ever were, are and will be are marketing dressed up as critics. Fair enough, was a rather amusing rant to me. Point of the gaming "press" scolding their consumers was pretty on, even if all it is clickbait.

Meant Logic Bomb or whatever, not Thunderf00t. Someone should ask Sarkeesian for a positive video, in that it is one where she lays out her ideal. Help to get a sense of what her endgame is.

Well, this drama has spawned the ultimate horror. TotalBiscuit singing https://soundcloud.com/totalbiscuit/shania-bain-that-dont-impressa-me-much

Beating BruceVC to the punch with this Even if it's just a lot of passive aggressive snarking, but that comes with the territory

Shows the mental deficiencies that some SJW have. But no one should paint all SJW with the same brush right? Pity it doesn't work that way for 'gamers'. Instead some asshat threatens rape and all of a sudden we are all degenerate women hating chauvinists. Why he/she/it is SJW? And what do you mean with SJW (paint people with same brush so that they are easier to attack?)? Well consider that anyone that dislikes Sarkeesian is a death threat sending misogynist likewise for Quinn, etc. Happens a lot from people that claim to care about social justice (on the Internet). Labels are convenient, as Alexander (and I guess alanschu et. al) are implementing. Almost close to a Godwin here, too, drats (though I guess Cheong's Nazi postings already did that )

Wow, that was dumb. Was expecting more from you than that. Why do you think it is dumb?

Amazing how easily he's winning over people with just words like that, something to be said for timing. So I guess whores in games are a thing of the past. You're far too trusting.
