How to approach issues of sensitivity
No I don't agree with that, we should all be entitled to our opinions. But we should also be sensitive to what we say and how it impacts others that are traditionally victims of systemic abuse, like the LGBT community As a working-class fellow, I find your snobbish behavior insulting. Please check your bourgeoisie privilege before giving classist lectures on "proper" behavior.

How to approach issues of sensitivity
Anyone who is not a white heterosexual male has no right to comment on what affects white heterosexual males.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
Yo mind breaking it to a newbie who the hell are these people ? I feel Im missing something terrible here. ZQ: An indie dev who the Zoe Post was written about. The Zoe Post directly led to GamerGate by being censored in several gaming forums and 12 articles declaring gamers dead being published. Currently operating CON, an organization that vaguely does something about harassment. BW: An indie dev who trolled under a sockpuppet and later had information posted publicly which was used by "chatterwhiteman" to threaten on twitter. Went on a press tour and is currently milking the attention for all its worth. AS: The face of feminist frequency, an organization that makes YouTube videos about pop culture, has a past working for a scam artist(hand writing expert I believe). Had a kickstarter to release a video series and has managed to deliver 25% two years after estimated time of delivery. Currently doing talks and merchandising FF stuff. AC: A guy who won Jeopardy by gaming the system. Essentially just a self-hating male nerd who occasionally writes stupid **** for Daily Beast and Salon(?) but spends a lot of time on twitter. Is an awful person. IMC: Current editor of Gameranx and a "former" Neo-Nazi and current SJW who said the holocaust didn't matter because "jews=nothing". In addition to holding questionable views, he was found to be a paid shill for companies on reddit(he ran several subs) and his website was recently believed to be running scams promising free stuff. Of these, AS and IMC are most relevant(IMC is games press and AS is white knighted for by most press), AC is relevant when he writes about games, and the other two should just be ignored as they bring nothing but drama.

Journalism and bias in the gaming industry
I can understand not liking someone's political positions and projecting that dislike onto them personally, but attacking their marriage and children like that seems very churlish. I suppose one could argue that being in an interracial marriage doesn't exclude one from being racist, they can hate other races after all, but this kind of attack on the relationship between the family seems wrong. Also, this is the same Arthur Chu who called a fundraiser to benefit a victim of gang rape, home invasion, and robbery "stupid" because Mercedes Carrera had the gall to signal boost a story that had gotten pitiful amounts of attention. Between that and his admitted knowledge of rape he couldn't be bothered to report, I think we can safley consider Chu to be a disgusting excuse for a human being.

True, it works both ways. However the biggest threat to world peace is clearly Israel. It lives off civil wars and third-world warzones Russia is no global threat, get real. Fixed that for you.- Hey Oby!

I'd lean more towards oby being an alt rather than a paid troll. I suspect that one of LadyCrimson's cats is behind it, but I have no proof.- Update 93: Patch 1.03 - Important Community Fixes

Firedorn says the joke didn't have anything to do with anyone on the LGBTIAQ+ spectrum, but it seems some here are determined to read whatever they want into to poem regardless of what the author of it has said. I have no reason to doubt his word on that front, as I myself took it as a joke about a fool killing himself after he drunkenly sleeps with a man. If you doubt me, here is his response: http://www.orderoflaibach.com/blog/screw-you-firedorn-lightbringer At any rate, Obsidian contacted Firedorn and now we have a better poem poking at the offended for turning a joke that had **** all to do with them into a form of bigotry directed at them. As Firedorn himself is fine with the situation, Obsidian has earned my respect for handling this cluster**** in a way where the backer was satisfied and was not thrown under the bus.- Movies you've seen recently

It should be, though I can't see it being very popular with a good chunk of them, not macho to want to calm things down with talking as opposed to some intervention with "non lethal" devices. They like to de-escalate with some bullets and beatings, when they're not ripping off charities of course. At least where I'm from at any rate, I suppose somewhere cops have a shred of decency.- Journalism and bias in the gaming industry

Holding off PoE, but am tempted to jump in. Is it reasonably stable/not buggy? @Bartimaeus Rangers are generally considered **** tier while Ciphers check out good from what I've read.- Hey Oby!

So the JIDF was so popular it had to be copied?- I appreciate you, Obsidian.
I ran into a couple of bugs that were gamebreaking, and that is something I expect from any new release. They get my respect for their work and for treating their backers well.- You Know Who Else Hates Freedom?
