I bet we could get Anita to agree with that too, or if we're lucky most of Anti-GG
i think bob chipman loves other m.
tom preston does too but he hasn't been related to GG in a long time

I posted that in The Order thread on SH but quickly found that either the posts were faked or were deleted. I haven't seen anyone get an archive of it so I'm not sure if it's real or not.

It kinda pissed me off Jace is fake as it wasn't the ramblings of a mentally ill individual the guy should have known it would be used as ammo against gaming.

If anything the whole thing has backfired and can't really be used as ammo on anything.

Agreed.
Still sucks the media was able to use it for momentum and some still use it.

hey now there's still the possibility for people to be weird and think this means gamergate was an MDE sketch all along
I would almost be excited if we didn't already have countless situations where Wu was proven to be full of shit and there's some people that still take her word as fact
So parkourdude91 was all just an act?
If so, jesus christ that's fucking insane
[QUOTE=Van-man;47197681]I'd still like to know how Max ended up as moderator.
He really moderated with his personal opinion instead of using common sense.[/QUOTE]
No one posted the actual reason I see. Though one person was close.
Max posted a picture of a bunch of penises with a bit of glitter on them in lmao pics. He got banned for it (duh). Garry unbanned him and made him a mod because Max did some work for Garry and I guess they only way they could possibly communicate was through facepunch.
Wu and gang did milk Deagle Nation for all it's worth, even had a trending article on facebook, fearmongering the hell out of it. That's probably going to be a highlight for ex-marine Jace Conners, I'm interested In how they're going to spin this.

There was not a single person in my college's game club that wasn't disappointed that the high heels and general design of other M's zero suit made it into smash4.
Honestly, I was happy with Samus being faceless. The zero-suit thing was kinda eh.

They'll probably ignore it and bury it as hard as they can. Unless MDE mentions it in their Adult Swim thingajang, there will probably be no acknowledge of it amongst the AGG.

define faceless...because we've known samus was a blonde woman since the first game

Honestly aside from the dumb heels and the pink symbol thing being an "activate suit" button I didn't see much that was worse than the Brawl suit. Plus it wasn't impossibly gripping her skin in quite as many places, although it still could be better with that.

Inside her suit, it's impossible to see any emotions she has toward the things she's been doing, what with all of the weapons she has at her disposal being used on all of these aliens out to kill her.
Although I'd not say emotionless, but it gave off that hardy and stoic sort of impression, especially when you consider that she's off on her own doing all of this.
Aeuugh. To this day I will always regret buying metroid: other m.
I did not even bother finishing it. It's just collecting dust on my shelf (in a box cause i am moving) to remind me of my awful purchase.

I think that character trope is used so well in the Half-Life series and Metroid Fusion. When you first encounter Sa-X the game doesn't tell you to run or fight. The player can place them self in Samus's suit and assess the situation themself.

The computer actually does tell you that you're no match for it before the first time you actually encounter it.
I didn't mind Samus's characterization in Fusion. There are a hundred different options for things they could have done in Other M. What they did was have Samus mimic the emotional underdevelopment she had at the beginning of the Metroid manga, which doesn't make sense because she was REALLY young at that point and she ALREADY went through that character development. Other M takes place after EVERY game in the series besides Metroid Fusion. There's no reason for her to act like an emotionally stunted child.

It's getting it from Wikipedia, which claims:
[QUOTE]Gamergate is a controversy regarding sexism in video game culture. It garnered significant public attention after August 2014 when several women within the video game industry, primarily game developers Zoe Quinn and Brianna Wu and feminist cultural critic Anita Sarkeesian, were subjected to a sustained campaign of misogynistic attacks. These attacks, initially performed under the Twitter hashtag #gamergate, were later variously coordinated in the online forums of Reddit, 4chan, and 8chan in an anonymous and amorphous movement. The harassment included doxing, threats of rape, and death threats, including a threat of a mass shooting at a university speaking event.[/QUOTE]
Well, when the whole world's against you, just means you gotta fight back harder.

What the fuck Wikipedia, there was no evidence that had anything to do with Gamergate.

An obviously fake Phil Fish account [I]making a calm and rational argument against generalisation and/or extremism in the matter[/I].
[QUOTE=Helix Snake;47201297]What the fuck Wikipedia, there was no evidence that had anything to do with Gamergate.[/QUOTE]
there's no evidence about a lot of what wikipedia says about gamergate right now, tbh
Yeah, even with that whole ArbCom thing the wiki article is still shit. Like I said earlier, the only way there's going to be an actual change to the Wiki article is to keep spreading information and finding new venues and platforms to spread the truth. Once said truth is finally told to the public and the backlash against the Anti-gamers forces them to admit their mistakes (and probably resign from their jobs as well), only then will we see the Wiki article start reflecting the truth of the situation. Hell, if the wiki situation is also brought to the public eye (as in, the whole thing about people being paid to edit the article to maintain the current narrative), it might cause enough pressure to get Jimmy Wales to restructure (read: completely dismantle) the current editor hierarchy.

"[There are reliable sources reporting on it.]"
(I'm pretty sure it's part of the fake news that were copied verbatim from @FemFreq, or was outright made up.)

That's very unlikely, except maybe imposing rules so admins can't mess with other admins' sanctions and not taking existing sanctions into account when determining new sanctions (so ban evasion by banning is rooted out).
[I]Normally[/I] the system kind of works, except probably for it's tendency to turn new users away.
Wikipedia also needs a big technical overhaul, the discussion pages really aren't anywhere close to what's needed in terms of forum software.
