Journalism and sexism in the games industry
Meh, I think the recent Total Biscuit interviews have much more bearing on this than pictures like that. I'd rather talk about advancing a standard of ethics than clutching pearls over every appearance of one of the LWs with someone I respect.

In what regard? The poster has transcripts and screenshots of everything, including the deleted tweets. The accused party is so stupid he saw the video and thought "hey great opportunity to promote my show." Honestly the guy seems mental, like he's a sociopath or something. The quote I gave implicates him. I'm also trying to ask the poster of the video to clarify if he/she knows that the guy is behind the Utah threat since the video makes it unclear. Not disagreeing with you, just not quite sure what you're referring to. I'm talking specifically about the Utah threat. Ganergate as a whole has been accused of stuff the majority of people weren't involved with sans proof, and I see no reason to lower ourselves to the level of those who would do such a thing. I think it's very clear this guy was up to some ****ed up ****, but I'd prefer to blame him for what we have proof of. Which as far as I can tell is a lot of stuff. Just curious then in how you don't see it as proof? The YouTube comment directly implicates him as the culprit, there's no other logical interpretation of it that I see. You saying you're not reading it that way or that you'd rather not have to rely on a random youtube comment by him as a form of proof? I'm saying I would like to see more than a YouTube comment as proof. I'll agree it does look strange to claim that the threat came from outside the US, I'm just not completely sure this guy was behind it. I'd personally like to be without reasonable doubt before I condemn someone, evern if that someone is obviously piece of ****.

Let's not jump straight to conclusions, for all we know someone else could be responsible. I see no need for us to be making accusations without proof. We don't want to bring ourselves down to the level of our opponents.

I'm going to be skeptical. Too outright harsh and not enough whining to seem authentic.

What I'm seeing from the anti-folks is some variation of "oooooh GamerGate got owned", while most supporters seem more interested in sending emails or talking about the Totilo talk with TotalBiscuit. I suppose it's because the supporters have already had much worse lobbed at them and aren't affected by media reports very much and that the TotalBiscuit bit was actually focused on the ethics GanerGate says it's concerned about. *shrug* Let the mainstream media bleat all they want, if we get even a few sites to adopt more ethical standards and a less condescending tone, we've slain our dragon.

Is this harrassment ?
I thought being a male was the first step towards being a rapist?

I didn't watch it, but the reddit seems dived whether that Colbert was making fun of the whole thing or coming out on Anita's side. The name 3 thing was hilarious though, if it happened as described.

Dragon Age: Inquisition
I don't recall a Dragon Age 2, so I assume I blocked the entire thing. Maybe you renamed it "Dragon Age: Dread of the Roof-Dwellers" in your subconscious. I do vaguely recall playing some generic ARPG where waves of enemies would drop from the ceiling while the PC shouted "ANOTHER WAVE!". Could be DA2.

What you did today.
I'm too drunk to play Wasteland 2 so I'm going to play New Vegas and kill Calax with some energy weapon. Yeah I'm sure being a beautiful woman (as opposed to an unattractive one) would just suck. If that's their only problem... they have no problems. Being a beautiful woman looks much easier than being a poor dude. Growing up without much money, I tend to view stuff like this as sort of inconsequential. I suppose that's just my unchecked privilege though.

Dev sends death threat to Valve CEO, has game removed from STEAM
I'd invite Volo to my wedding, if only to watch him take down the father of the bride.

Kinda? I don't want to go overboard, but I'd say she'd fit in the attractive women thread. That said, she isn't well-versed in being interviewed, but I've been told that it can be pretty hard if you aren't used to it.

Oh and Jennie Bharaj was on that David Pakman show. http://youtu.be/kqwLyjcQ6SU I've gained a lot of respect for this guy, seems to be very fair and doesn't try to pander to anyone. Also I think Jennie is kinda hot.

TN, these people have allied with Gawker, a site that doesn't pay employees and is responsible for spreading celeb nudes, doxxing, leaking scripts, **** shaming, and bullying in general. I don't think they give a **** about morality as long as someone supports them. Calling us bigots while publicly defending neo-Nazis or misandrists(Samantha Allen) is ridiculous, and is a large part of what is driving gg. This is perfect. In other news, some Rebulican running for Austin City Council is doing an AMA for KiA in a little bit. I'm pretty sure it's for publicity, but whatever.
