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? It may explain why guys were following her ?

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.

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 :lol:

 

I had thought she was going to ask about game design, she needs to.

:lol: 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

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, :p) - changing one's tune a little can absolutely change others'.

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.

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.

Basically she was flinging excrement at people over and over until the "right" crowd noticed.

You were projecting.

 

Pretty sure that's not how psychological projection works.

 

Pretty sure I just honestly interpreted it another way.

She tried to create a meme and made a sock puppet account to troll on twitter.

I like the white people avatars saying white people suck.

Again with Grade F analytical skills in tact as they claim all of this happened because Wu is white, and not because Wu is a nutjob.

Uh, that is the #GamerGate opposition, Barothmuk.

It was the easiest way to sum up the whole GG/anti-GG thing in as derisive a way as possible.

 

I suppose "videogames are serious business" would have also sufficed.

Not really. 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. shrugnz9.gif

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.

 You do make me laugh.... :lol:

 

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  :biggrin:

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".
