Barothmuk Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 https://media.8ch.net/gamergate/src/1425434011029.png Seems like a realization that the overarching SJW mantra is more sex negative, which obviously doesn't line up with her game. You're clearly too tired. The "feminism has gone too far" line exists outside the hyphenated points and is a sarcastic remark being made in reference to how "accommodating" the previous three points were.

Longknife Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Yeah, that seemed pretty obvious sarcasm to me too. ....Seriously? I don't see it at all. What implies the sarcasm? "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him." Is your mom hot?

Blarghagh Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The recap is hyphenated, meaning that's not part of the recap but a response to it. If serious, it doesn't make sense as a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longknife Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The recap is hyphenated, meaning that's not part of the recap but a response to it. If serious, it doesn't make sense as a response. I see it now but think it can go both ways, either as a sarcastic remark about how feminism does not demonize the list above, or as a statement that she does have some qualms with sex-negative feminism. That it's not hyphenated, I interpreted more to mean that statement is NOT a cornerstone of her presentation, but rather kind of a relevant statement based on the things that were truly discussed. I usually disagree when people say determining sarcasm on the internet is hard, but this is a case where I really don't find it so apparent. "The Courier was the worst of all of them.

Malcador Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Reading comments upset that she had coffee with Wardell was a pleasant start to the day. Apparently she is now trying to make herself look human to GG people so they won't write bad things about her, such was her reasoning I had thought she was going to ask about game design, she needs to. Why has elegance found so little following?

Apparently she is now trying to make herself look human to GG people so they won't write bad things about her, such was her reasoning I had thought she was going to ask about game design, she needs to. that is funny, thinking that GG people will somehow not think less of her. I'm sure only Leigh Alexander is more reviled than her for most GG people "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Bartimaeus Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 She might've done less than stellar things, but c'mon, I hardly think they were enough to make her sub-human (besides maybe to Volourn, ) - changing one's tune a little can absolutely change others'. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Malcador Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I forget how Wu got involved in this crap anyway, I think she decided to wade in with a flaming tweet of her own. Worked out well for her as some calling her the "face of anti-GG". In any case her meeting with Wardell is seen as treason by one side, capitulation by the other - no changing of their tunes.

You used it as a response to a bunch of anger from the side of the debate that insists it isn't about any of those things. None of that is serious business to them. And said side is comparing discussions with "the opposition" to some kind of military cease-fire or truce. Its all quite melodramatic. A tendency common to both sides.

I suppose "videogames are serious business" would have also sufficed. You do make me laugh.... But guys lets be honest for a second. We are living in a world of massive economic inequality, Islamic extremism, wars in Ukraine, global pandemic viruses, an unstable Middle East, the rise of a haughty and jingoistic Russia and many other serious challengers that the global community grapples with.....you can understand why many people don't take the idea of a movement to highlight " ethics in the gaming journalist industry " seriously It does sound quite ludicrous compared to most other things people campaign for "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Blarghagh Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Perhaps the reason they take it so seriously because it's their main way of dealing with / getting away from that? Anyway, I think it's ludicrous that in the end, what you're saying here is "bad things are okay because there are worse things". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
