This guy has to be the world's most dedicated troll and a triple agent so deep undercover that not even the organization he serves remembers him or knows he's allied to them. That's the only rational explanation.

Boogie has agreed to be on MSNBC. Will wait to see how that pans out.

Good to know. 'Fun' is definitely code for feeling powerful. That's why the heroic SJW's are fighting so our games won't be 'fun' anymore.

"Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

An interviewer who actually asks questions? The end of time must be near. And look, Brianna isn't able to answer any of them.

 

I can't watch all of that stupid stuff, but I loved when she said "I had to take a 24 hours Twitter break." OMYGOD 24 hours?! The horror, the horror.

 

Come on, nobody can take this serious.

Seeing the 24:59 time on that video, there's no way I'm spending that amount of time watching some screeching banshee. The last video with her was bad enough.

She cops to trolling with a sock puppet account, calls the interview a hit piece, and makes herself look like a lunatic.

She's not a feminist. She's an equalist!

 

She isn't a feminist? Are you just saying that because she seems to have the values of an equalist?

"Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

You'll find plenty of feminists who call her an anti-feminist, if you look her up. :)

 

Also, the whole discussion has taken a tone of:

So a guy gets the fire department called to his house, for real, not just nameless threat on the internet. But GG are the biggest harassers still. Right...

 

Now to apply their own logic to them (like they care but still). You social justice guys have a problem. People are doing nasty and dangerous things in the name of your cause. So before preaching to others to police the internet against harassment go and fix your own issues.

Not only that, but some of the anti-gamergate journalist seem to support or at least condone such conduct. You won't hear any condemnation of the anti-gamergate harassers by the "bring back bullying" Gawker.

Ah yes, the glorious freedom of the free-market wherein content and ideas can be freely exchanged but don't you dare critique existing products, organize with others and in any way try to influence the mystical sagely wisdom of the market.

You guys are so transparent.

 

 

One can critique existing products.

 

But, that also means the critics themselves can be critiqued.

 

Everyone is free to campaign for games and content he wants.

 

However, I draw the line at tying to shame or force people into making your game or not making games you don't like. I also draw the line at blatantly lying to people / your audience.

Conflicts of interest? Ethics? Wat? Actually it's all about misogyny.

I have to chuckle at this. Between this and the KiA AMA with some anti-gg journalist, these people consistently prove themselves unable to directly address points.

She's a like a one man disaster, wrecking the anti-GG credibility with reckless abadon.

My God, what a HEINOUS attack!

 

Brianna Wu is a developer, right?  What has she made?  I'm not asking to be derisive, I honestly don't know and am curious.

Funny you should ask. After being appalled and disappointed to see Zoe's "game," I was just looking Wu's game up.

 

 

This is it. Better than I'd expect, I'll admit, but just click through different parts of the video. The gameplay either looks incredibly dull and boring or frustratingly slow at times. The majority of it is Quicktime Event: the Game:

 

 

 

And before you go looking, don't bother with Metacritic. It's exclusively bias reviews both for and against the game: 10's and 0's. What led me to this trailer was a guy who rated a 0 calling out the bias in reviews and saying people should watch this and judge for themselves.

 

Overall, this is a mobile game for the iOS made on a budget of $12,000. This at least qualifies as a game (whereas Zoe's is debateably a book), but again this is definitely what you'd call a small fish game and hardly a focal point of the industry. I also fail to see any issues with the all female cast, both positive and negative. I honestly fail to notice it at times and don't have any problem with it, while I also fail to see how the game is supposedly better or more artistic for employing an all female cast. That's of course because gender doesn't matter, I just mean I fail to see why THIS is soooo important for the feminists within this issue. I could not give less ****s about the gender ratio of the characters, I care about how dull the quicktime events look.

What's with the barbie doll figures and pandering to male gaze? I thought this game was designed by women, for women?

All the "fun" in that game looks like code for empowering the player to kill things.  :shifty:

Can't you tell the difference?

Clearly an overly sexualized protagonist and clearly designed by a male. Short black hair, nerdy style glasses? These are staples of the stereotypical image of a sexy vixen. Her boobs are also bigger than mine and therefore this is misogynist. God I wish men knew how to realistically depict women, stupid inferior men...

Perfect. Not a hint of sexualization at all! See what great things you can accomplish when you allow women to make games? And my god, look at those amazing graphics! These must be the best graphic designers in the industry, and what a surprise they're all women!
