An Xtreme Outrage (The Jimquisition) - General

[QUOTE=Rixxz2;49215674]The video's making fun of people going "poor poor tecmo :(, fucking sjws ruining everything!!! >:(" when it's fairly likely that the company's just creating a shitstorm for free publicity "I'm going to buy this thing anyway!! That'll teach those pesky sjws!!!" cha ching[/QUOTE] I don't think making the intentional choice of not releasing a game to the west due to certain tension about women in videogames is something TK planned for weebbux. What you're saying would mean that TK decided in cooperation with play-asia to do this whole shtick. On top of that the Asian version isn't even a real English translation. It's butchered Hong kong English

see, the way a scam works is first you stir people into a frenzy with wildly out of context information designed to paint you as a helpless victim who must be protected from the fantastically exaggerated evil, [I]then[/I] you supply them with a way to give you money, so as to support and protect you literally all that tecmo koei did was go "yeah we don't want to deal with your shit, whaitu piggus" but you know what, I can think of some people who DO do stuff like that people who take advantage of public sympathy to bilk people out of their cash gee, what are their names, I've plum forgot

[QUOTE=sgman91;49215277]I've never understood the appeal of Jim Sterling. He's always struck me as an aging gamer desperately trying to stay edgy and cool.[/QUOTE] I used to like him because of how passionate and firey he was about certain legit issues. But then he started talking about weird issues, or talking about legit issues but not offering solutions, just doomsaying (See the Pacific Trade video to see what I mean.) I'm not sure if it's his character or himself, but I can't tell if he's for SJW or against SJW or what? Plus most of his content is just making fun of greenlight stuff and burning the flames of a certain notorious indie dev whose name I seriously can't remember at the moment. I already unsubbed a while ago because of all of this. [editline]30th November 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Rangergxi;49215494][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XwSNIml.png[/IMG] Reminds me of certain Fp users. Honestly, if you're gonna take a "side" at least don't defend the crazies.[/QUOTE] Wait what? Is this serious? Please don't let this be serious because now I'll be super happy I unsubbed :v:

I remember him saying "Anita isn't trying to take away your games" this happens and he's like "ITS ONLY JUST ONE GAME" No integrity at all

I usually like the Jimquisition but watching this video and others on the same topic are so hard to watch and understand because the "issues" are so manufactured and overall just pointless/non-existent. People are just making up problems at this point to make their lives not seem as boring.

I can't tell if its the character Jim Sterling speaking or the actual guy himself.

I totally have no context about any of this, what is he even talking about?

I'd like to take the moment to point out how much FP's opinion seems to sway based on the quality of the video in the thread. Yeah, this was a weak video. After taking a nap I did manage to gather some sense out of it. Basically "We don't know if SJW's are the reason this isn't coming to the west, don't base your entire stance on the thing on a vague tweet."

And even if I did believe in that viewpoint this video was still fucking awful. It was all just one long strawman and felt more like five minutes of self congratulatory masturbation than an actual argument for or against anything.

I actually quite like Jim but fuck this video's baaaaaaad :v:

Like, are people really so stupid they dont realize that its a real thing and was actually used by Russian propagandists during the fucking cold war against the USA? Also its an ideology on top of that? One that generally thinks culture is the underlying cause of inequality. Straight up learned about this shit in normal public American schools. Dont know why people just randomly think its not an actual thing and its just some made up crazy shit, the fucking concept of Cultural Marxism isnt even fucking crazy. I dont get it. Where is this retarded shit coming from?

[QUOTE=SpotEnemyBoat;49215990]I remember him saying "Anita isn't trying to take away your games" this happens and he's like "ITS ONLY JUST ONE GAME" No integrity at all[/QUOTE] Why on God's earth would Anita actually want to take your games away? She'd be out of a job lmao. Her shtick is just being a bad critic and stirring shit because it's a simple way to get followers who aren't really thinking to donate money (see: tabloid newspapers, overly opinionated "news" channels, 90% of Internet businesses).

The worst part about all of this is Jim will probably disregard all the dislikes on this horrible video as "angry gamergaters" instead of it actually being a bad video.

[QUOTE=HoodedSniper;49214907]uhh isnt magic mike about a little black kid who gets magical jordans and becomes an NBA star as a kid?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Captain;49214920]That's "Like Mike". Magic Mike is about male strippers.[/QUOTE] I detected a market niche. [img]http://i.imgur.com/WniW7rf.jpg[/img]

Jim just took a 2 minute discussion topic and stretched it into an unfunny 7 minute skit. Could have just said "Play-Asia is just making this controversy to garner attention and increase sales and support for an otherwise shitty franchise only losers play." and then gone on to a much more interesting topic.

[QUOTE=Doritos-pope;49215192]The fact is, the guy is fragile as fuck. [/QUOTE] He's also a bit of a dick too. I remember Max used to run a server in TF2 a few years back. Still probably does. Fuck if I know. I joined it a while back and he added me. I think he used to read my comics when the Gmod comics section was a thing. I don't recall. But as time went by and he earned mod status I decided to join that same TF2 server with a friend of mine who he immediately banned simply on the basis of having a furry avatar. When I called him out on his shit he suddenly started talking down to me like I was scum, acted like he didn't know me, claimed I added him, and then removed me. I dunno if I was banned from the server. I probably was but seriously fuck that loser. As for Jim Sterling... I knew it was satire but I couldn't tell who it was directed at. I still can't.

[QUOTE=axemunger;49214865]All I got from this is that it has something to do with DOA & SJWs, other than that I having no fucking clue what he's talking about I don't even know what's going on with the new DOA at all because this first is the first time I've even heard that they're releasing a new game, so what do SJWs have to do with viral marketing?[/QUOTE] PlayAsia (the marketing team) has outright stated that it wouldn't sell in the west due to social media backlash (either from SJWs, feminazis, etc). [QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;49217399]He's also a bit of a dick too.[/QUOTE] For newcomers or just those who are unfamiliar with Maxs' escapades if you want [URL="https://encyclopediadramatica.se/Maxofs2d#MaxofS2D.27s_Wars"]click here[/URL] for more insight.

[QUOTE=Dr. Kyuros;49217508]PlayAsia (the marketing team) has outright stated that it wouldn't sell in the west due to social media backlash (either from SJWs, feminazis, etc).[/QUOTE] PlayAsia isn't associated with the developers, they're a redistributor of japanese goods/games, they actually profit from them not selling copies in the west locally.

I'm only subscribed to Jim Sterling because of his "Squirty Plays" and "Best of Greenlight trailers" videos.

I normally like Jim Sterling, but this time he's making fun of me instead of someone else! ;_;

I normally like Jim Sterling, but this time he's trying to not talk about the topic while he's talking about it, instead of his more direct approach that I like.

Look at what NoA has done lately, Capcom with SFV and now Koei Tecmo. Its rather small, but she is affecting the industry little by little.

[QUOTE=Doritos-pope;49215192]Ding ding ding. I've already mentioned some of the shit he's done (both to me and to other people) before but I feel like repeating them because they're still relevant today as they were back when they were first mentioned. The fact is, the guy is fragile as fuck. On new years eve (of all nights), I suddenly start seeing notification after notification, all of them by max. Tweet after tweet Favorited for no apparent reason. Understandedly I start shitting myself wondering what was going on, I tweet "fuck off". He favorites that too! (and to really rub salt in the wound, this [B]totally[/B] co-incidental [URL="https://vine.co/v/OwI5eUQZLLg"]vine[/URL] released that evening) Here's the thing- I can easily get paranoid quickly. And going out for new years eve dinner being fucking [I]terrified[/I] of what damage he could be doing whilst I'm out is not a good thing at all. Then out of nowhere he starts acting "nice". Following me on twitter again, yada yada. I try acting along like nothing ever happened, except now I can't even tweet anything without Max trying to make all about gamergate. (I couldn't even mock the fact that someone thought it'd be a good idea to make pony daipers for SFM without max going "IT NEEDS A GAMERGATE DAIPER XD"). Eventually he gives up and stops following me until the tim schafer GDC incident comes along. I tweeted a few snarky tweets and then it started all the fuck over again until he vanishes yet again a few hours later. The guy has a serious issue with stalking people. He claimed that the reason he had google alerts set up was because someone was trying to dox him, but the more likely reality is that he wanted to keep tabs on people saying "maxofs2d's a fag lol" or anything along those lines because he used to have a folder on img.maxofs2d.net FULL of that sort of thing. He also may have been involved in the hacking/deactivation of supermariogalaxy13, but that's something I sadly cannot verify (but considering the way he's acted toward her in the past? It's very likely.)[/QUOTE] sweet fuck why was this dipshit ever a mod I hope all he banned where unbanned

[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;49218657]sweet fuck why was this dipshit ever a mod I hope all he banned where unbanned[/QUOTE] Don't worry, Garry's birthday did that.

I could swear I've seen you tell this story before but it was like, the twitter thing went on for months. Even then, liking things on twitter over time is a thing that happens when you follow somebody- your posts keep showing up because it's a function. Have you tried BLOCKING him? I'd assume this is why he showed up and liked a bunch of random posts- [quote]but the more likely reality is that he wanted to keep tabs on people saying "maxofs2d's a fag lol"[/quote] he always took the piss with people over ~lol maxofSTD~ jokes and I'd assume he irony-liked some chain of posts you had regarding him or feminism or gamergate. I don't think it's that hard of a stretch that you MIGHT have touched on several of those notes, or even tagged his username recently I remember him getting caps of dumb posts on facepunch, it's not that hard to understand he gets a kick out of people getting their panties in a knot over shit he might find trivial. Even I had a dumb FP post folder for a time, helped remember who the fun shitposters were in SH

yeah on the actual topic I'd be more inclined to guess it isn't coming here because it just wasn't profitable to make a translated shipment on the last one (with lots of 'reason' being our culture is too PC already and too few people buy it because it's a goofy concept) and they don't care to take the risk again. Anger over political correctness overseas won't affect their studio and won't sway many sales away from the people who'd consider buying tiddyball in the first place.

[QUOTE=HazzaHardie;49214719]:) [img]http://i.imgur.com/kGlyPYc.png[/img][/QUOTE] Lmao, he's still butthurt? I legitimately thought he wasn't capable of crying for five years straight. I'm still baffled he was a mod that people defended once. But to be demodded, perma'd for being a shitty user nearly after that, and then unbanned for garry's birthday twice, only to nearly immediately get re-perma'd again both times shows just how awful a person he is. To be on topic, I've got nothing against Japan, wish more people would do what Kojima does and sexualizes the men too. [sp]N-Not because I'm gay or anything.[/sp]
