Don't joke but that's exactly what Volo believes, he has said several times that a true believer in gender equality would support full contact sport between male and female sports teams I always took that as absurd to demonstrate the fact that the most taut supporters of equality still know that the genders are not the same.

There is also ARMA

Sounds hard. I know how it feels to work for so long. During the winter/spring I usually have to work like that. Lucky for me though I get to take it easy in the fall & summer. It sucks that your mom is incapacitated. I hope that she gets better. No, no, no you're doing it wrong. You're supposed to be remarking about the fact that I missed the point of the thread and then I say that you said that I could say anything about either. You're a terrible straightman. @Bester: you do a better job as Oby.

Well today I didn't do much, I just took a breather after a few days of consistent hard work (12 hours straight). Plus, my mom is still incapacitated from an operation so I've been having to take care of her and the house on top of that.

Doesn't mean that they will be able to turn it for a profit but we'll see.

Do you mean, feel like a man?

Interesting discovery, if you google Joana a bunch of sexy ladies appear. Joana must be the sexiest name ever, I dare anyone to challenge that.

We already have a thread with scantily clad ladies, so I'm not sure why we need it spilling into other threads. Although this thread is not exactly a shining moment in Obsidian history. In 300 years a keen young historian will base an entire thesis paper on this single thread, where in it will serve as a mirror of 21th century society. After he's done with the paper, he will be sedated and wheeled into cryogenic stasis indefinitely per newly issued directive, as history will be considered to be bunk and of no use to society. Bull, Hollywood needs history in order to make crappy movies...Unless; there is no Hollywood in the future. Bright times ahead of us.

That video is incredibly misogynistic; don't teach girls self defense, teach men not to rape.

Woman GOAT edition.

I really keep hoping those statistics are a false, because if they are true that means there is a bunch crazy women on the internet calling each other ****. They should do one for each board and see which one has the highest female population...if it's /d/ i'm turning into a monk.

@Bruce: Milo Yaplapadingdong (he has a complex last name) found through someone else that there was that discrepancy on the websites. After calling both sites and making it clear that there wasn't any arrangement between them and Zoey for the money to go to charity, he tried calling her to get her side of the story. She hung up. There is also the fact that Anita might be lying about making a statement to the police since the PD from her area doesn't have a call on record. He is doing an FOIA to see if there are any records of the call. Also, /v/ collectively orgasmed when after the events of today Milo did an appearance on the board. There were jokes and offers of fellatio all around, and cake...there was cake too. @Shallow: Welcome to the forums please state your political affiliation, although you seem to be on the SJW side of things. Which is a good thing because Bruce is getting tired.

I've yet to find an RTS that let's me use my full knowledge of warfare tactics

You beat me to posting this.

Say what you will about the folks at the 4chan but they have been productive http://www.goodgamers.us/ Edit:The findings so far: http://pastebin.com/LAmZNVKn

For anyone that is still following the story; after a few inquiries into corruption within Reddit and people accepting money in exchange for AMAs and a look at the moderators it seems that The New Yorker, Ars Technica and others have decided to cover GamerGate. Their articles are biased towards the SJW side and against 4chan and GamerGate, which doesn't come as a surprise since they are owned by Advanced Publications who in turn owns Reddit. https://archive.today/KoOpy

That is a good read and is discusses many issues in an objective and reasonable way One thing that concerns me is the apparent influence that Zoe Quinn seems to have, its almost like if she doesn't approve of a particular gender equality project then its got no chance of succeeding. I have an issue with that as she shouldn't be the judge, jury and executioner of what constitutes acceptable initiatives around gender equality. Is not so much Zoe as the Silverstring media and the Digras and we should really come up with a term for all the groups that have created networks of influence to promote their ideologies. The way it functions; IMO, is a lot like 4chan and other internet communities where someone bring the information and the collective decides. These people are united by their ideology and by the means by which they try to promote it. So it bears to reason that merely introducing the information was enough, after all there's a lot of info backing up the fact that they didn't bother to check before acting against TFYC. Also, on response to one of your previous posts: "In summary the link I posted https://archive.today/CeWxy summarizes what gaming journalists are really saying, I encourage people to stop thinking there is this campaign that attacks all white, male gamers because its just not true ". Its a bit disingenuous to believe that the calculated article they have posted is what they are thinking when you can go to the tweets accounts of many of these journalists and see what they are saying. It seems that they do have something against white male gamers and anyone who stands with them.

Recent developments, Jennifer Hale will be talking about GamerGate. (Though she might end up on the side of SJW) In the meanwhile http://apgnation.com/archives/2014/09/09/6977/truth-gaming-interview-fine-young-capitalists

F*** that, I'm aggressive. I blame law school. One of the first things that's taught is...if you've got an argument your opponent can't counter? Do NOT let the subject change. You bring it up and bring it up and bring it up until your opponent has to admit they're wrong on that count. You'll be called an ass, you'll make enemies, but the system is flawless. If you're right on a point, your opponent should admit it because ultimately debate SHOULD be about weeding out the wrongs and locating the rights. I'm personally gonna sit here and repeat the question until I get a working answer: Name one prominent figure within the gaming industry who exhibits signs of misogyny and an agenda against more female protagonists. There literally isn't one, and this more than anything highlights that this entire SJW "cause" is tantamount to propaganda, spawned from nothing more than the most basic of stupid comments spouted either by immature 15 year olds or trolls literally TRYING to say stupid things to get reactions. Hell, infact, given what we've learned about Silverstring media, it would seem there are more prominent feminists involved with the gaming industry (an entire team of them) as opposed to the grand total of 0 misogynist journalists, developers, notable vlog figures and gamers (this includes even people like PewDiePie as you can argue such people hold "influence" of some degree to games). It's good it's at 0, but it's NOT so good we've got people screaming "MISOGYNY" when it's absolutely not there on any meaningful level (random youtube commenters are not meaningful), we know some of the Silverstring people are capable of misleading and victim-complex info (see Anita and New Vegas) and ultimately it's just utter nonsense that detracts from the REAL focus: corruption in the game industry. FFS people aren't even suggesting "boycott silverstring media," they're suggesting boycott EVERYTHING in gaming journalism because it's literally all sub-par anyways and gamers losing our gaming journalists would be about on par to spending a night playing your favorite game, but you forgot to buy a drink to keep on your desk while you play in case you get thirsty. I THINK WE GONNA BE OK. We're not even explicitly targeting the feminists, we're openly stating "this would also be a good opportunity to pay back Doritos Pope and boycott anything he's connected to aswell." It's absolutely crystal clear this has nothing to do with misogyny. You want a misogynist so you SJW's don't end up at the unemployment office? I can happily link you all to some Tommy Sotomayor guy on youtube who does nothing but rant about black women because apparently he knocked one up and has to pay child support for it and he's a rather bitter human being. I'm almost tempted to link that incredibly off-topic video just to show what real misogyny (combined with racism) looks like. Me personally? I'm just gonna repeat that request over and over and over. Name one prominent figure within the gaming industry who exhibits signs of misogyny and an agenda against more female protagonists. I see no reason to continue any debate until that's addressed. That's a tactic that really doesn't work when the other party doesn't have the information, I doubt that you're going to get much proof from someone that isn't connected to the whole debacle. At best you can grief them until they quit but that isn't really a victory, unless self satisfaction is your only goal which would really make you no better than the other people that engage in harassment. That's something that both sides seem to agree on, the level of vitriol being spat is high and people should restrain themselves. The reason Bruce can't provide with proof doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't exist, but that major AAA companies have covered themselves against it. NDA are common on the industry and so is blacklisting, the reason why a dispute over sexual harassment might have not become know to everyone is likely due to the cost involved to the party involved who would essentially be committing career suicide or because it was resolved internally. That doesn't mean that the anecdotal of people that have spoken within the industry against sexist practices is untrue. Is just that there isn't conclusive proof but that's something that is common on cases like this. The fact is that one of the reason why we need better journalism is because things like that, AAA companies have had too much influence on game journalism and things never get past hearsay. People shouldn't be forbidden to talk about their place of work or to air complaints if the company isn't doing anything about it, but there is no interest and no support from the media and the public that hears about this don't know what to do or don't care. Although, the quality of journalism in general has declined and good stories are not being covered for the sake of revenue it is still part of the issue.

I'm only dismissing the argument because I think that it has gotten a bit too personal and is losing view of the subject matter, you people are arguing analogies. Also I fear Bruce has been on the defensive a bit too much lately I don't think I need to be adding to the argument specially since there isn't much in the way of facts that I could present at the moment.

The chance of this being true is highly unlikely I know, will wait until sources are confirmed but I feel that the discussion is getting a bit personal. I thought I would steer away from it.

I guess the fish does die by the mouth after all http://www.gamerheadlines.com/2014/09/gamergate-polytron-fbi-investigation/

Typical response when you don't agree with someone... "lets play the old troll card" instead of engaging in debate Bruce, I don't know if you've noticed but you're engaged in a debate with 3 people right now. I know that being our only SJW during this time of crisis must mean that you're wearing yourself short but I'm concerned that you won't be able to fulfill your SJW duties to the best of your ability. Maybe look for some help? Yeah at times its a lonely road a person walks who believes in SJ issues And people think we do it because its popular and cool. Not all, we do it for the principle

That would had been fun to see.
