  1. I just checked a bunch of stills from Conan. No marks on her eyelids that I could see. Are you sure you've seen one? She used to have a mole but she had it removed. Why???!!! why do people do that? and is never the ones with huge disgusting moles, is always the pretty people with the small ones?!!!!
  2. Dear God, this game is a ****ing mess. Is like they took all the frustration of the old school crap and topped it all with tedium.
  3. BTW does anyone know what the deal with Rachel Nichols beauty mark? The one on her bottom eyelid, sometimes is there sometimes it isn't. Is it real?
  4. It isn't all that user friendly honestly. Learn to BBcode
  5. Apparently the Mighty No. 9 has began censorship, speculation is already high about which community manager that was involved on a controversy is behind it.
  6. Right now it isn't, other than Burch being very involved with the Bloggers and indie devs. More importantly, Polytron is working on a new game called "Where in the world is Phil Fish?" Edit: it may be because of this https://archive.today/mkcgB
  7. If it was legit then there wouldn't be names redacted as they would be operating under an alias same as moot. All the janitors at 4chan have one and releasing it would had lent credibility as they are all listed on the website.
  8. 5/10, nice try to whoever it was. Too cliche to actually be real, Occam's Razor dictates that they theory with the least amount of bull**** is the best. I mean, hacker groups and death threats...could still be possible, is just very unlikely.
  9. It may not be an attack, after the exodus from /v/ there may be a large number of people looking for a place to discuss this issue. Edit: http://www.gamerheadlines.com/2014/09/gamergate-escapist-mag-ddos-attack/
  10. What? You mean it's not fair comparing the absolute worst of one group with those who are considered the "best" of the other group? That's not really fair, moderate can be many things depending on who you ask and in what context, people who call themselves moderate aren't necesarrily moderate, and the more secular muslims who don't give that much of a damn wouldn't bother showing up to one of these things. I don't think so, we mustn't get confused between most Muslims who would go to those types of conferences and follow the Koran literally and extremist Muslims who join ISIS and Al-Qaeda In other words the definition of an extremist or fundamentalist Muslim isn't someone who says men and women should pray separately, almost all Muslims believe that. So those Muslims at that conference would be considered moderate unless they were ideologically aligned to extremist groups So the difference between a moderate Muslim and an extremist one is gun ownership?
  11. Don't you think I'm funny, my mom doesn't think I'm funny and some of my g-friends don't think I'm funny. My sense of humour is definitely an acquired taste, you should meet me in person..I think you'll find me funny You don't really come highly recommended.
  12. I'm not discussing their economic situation but the economics that allow for fascism to rise and be accepted by the populace.
  13. These are probably the same people pushing for governments to have Haram and Sharia laws within the countries that they emigrate to. You could imagine the issue of they take to stoning homosexuals. Christianity is not under scrutiny because is mostly flexible, even the Pope has changed the stance on homosexuality and Muslims seem still stuck to the "Let's do Holy war" stage. If these men are truly the moderate ones I would say that Islam still has about 100 years of evolving to do.
  14. To be honest I kind of expected this outcome.
  15. I think people are making the wrong distinction the reason why most extremist offshoots of socialism were able to take place in the first place was because of the economic situation in those countries. Hasn't anyone read Das Kapital? Capitalist countries with a equitable distribution of wealth are more prone to charity, whereas those with great gaps often descent into the far right. Is not a coincidence that there was a rise of communism that took place in the Third world.
  16. Norway? Recently there was a guy arrested on the UK for recruiting people for ISIS, same deal on the US. It is very hard to see Muslims as being peaceful and just as regular people when there are those who are working under pretense.
  17. Because these are things she actually says in the video? She has huge problem with maintaining a consistent message, it seems. At any rate, the tone and major points were very different from the occasional rational gem.
  18. What? you're just confirming what I said, either we are misguided and ignorant or aware and misogynistic. She just tried to fit us into her schema, guess which of the two you are if you like sexualised women in games? Could you please quote where she offers that particular dichotomy? Because my reading is that according to her, a/ games where the only meaningful game mechanic is the use of violence are more prone to using iffy tropes as an emergent quality arising from said game mechanics (as opposed to, say, the misogyny of the developers), and b/ while playing these games explicitly won't make anyone sexist, they will subtly influence one's view on gender roles when provided with the exclusion of alternatives. (Actually, this viewpoint is fairly well-supported by research, which I don't get why she didn't point viewers to.) I think you may be reading too much into her videos and giving her too much credit. I mean by your own admission her approach is idiotic; IIRC, so why would you expect her to have such a reasonable view? But she almost comes close to the actual issue that is the fact that games have focused around action because of their interactive nature and there is not much room for character development so everyone is a bit one dimensional. But she just disregards everything as negative.
  19. I don't know how the opposition handles it, but so far the GamerGate side has tried to remain moderate with the occasional descent into hyperbole and hype. There have been no organized attempts to cause harm to the opposition since they see it as giving them ammunition. So far any attack is discouraged even after GamerGate was ran out of 4chan and tempers where high. Mostly they've stuck to their original plan of e-mailing advertisers and have let the de facto spokespersons to handle it, while offering support from behind the scenes. Is kind of impressive how this type of organization came about organically and without a previous structure in place. Might be worth looking into as a study of the user's behavior on the Internet.
  20. So I guess all those "Gamers are dead" articles describing us as neckbeards and the horrors that come out of Leigh Alexander's mouth were about Parcheesi enthusiasts. They all share the same politics and the same views, just look at some of Anita's tweets regarding gamers and what she thinks of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toa_vH6xGqs#t=1195 What? you're just confirming what I said, either we are misguided and ignorant or aware and misogynistic. She just tried to fit us into her schema, guess which of the two you are if you like sexualised women in games?
  21. Just to be clear do you mean feminists like Anita or gaming journalists and there stand on this whole issue? On the contributions of feminists like Anita to feminism and gender equality.
