[QUOTE=Thlis;46977785][Ian Miles Cheong][/QUOTE] Well, that explains why Gameranx has been rolling out AGG interviews and spin "articles" non-stop for over a week.

[QUOTE=Solo Wing;46977822]Alrighty then Ian, in all of your infinite wisdom, maybe you can answer this question. If the game is a sack of shit, why is it selling so fucking well? Gamers usually don't buy games unless they're....you know....GOOD.[/QUOTE] Except he already gave his explanation: GGers are buying it in spite. Shitty, unlikely explanation, but still an explanation

I am not sure if this has been posted yet but someone may have faked a suicide. [B] EDIT:[/B] I didn't realize it was the head mod, still be cautious about this [quote=david-me][URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/Drama/comments/2t53s4/infamous_internet_mess_fakes_suicide_after/[/URL] Preface: Laurelai Bailey (a journalist! It's not dox!) is a transwoman who's been in a myriad of drama over the past years, from rising to dominance of SRS and falling horrifically, to [URL="http://gizmodo.com/5816291/fbi-raids-iowa-womans-home-in-lulz-security-hacker-investigation"]ratting out lulzsec to the FBI[/URL], to [URL="http://i.imgur.com/XV1N95M.png"]rape scandals[/URL] and statutory rape. She was last seen on reddit, and [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/drama"]/r/drama[/URL] at that, over a year ago after some minor drama involving her new writing career. The living embodiment of all that is terrible and dramatic, [URL="http://i.imgur.com/AIeDYwk.jpg"]Laurelai[/URL], has been rather under-the-radar in the past year. (Un)fortunately, she hasn't been on reddit but she's been busy diving her mitts into pretty much everything else. Twitter, tumblr, secret societies and undercover plots. Wait, what? It turns out that while the rest of us lived our lives, Laurelai was journeying down some dark roads, like rape, CP, and suicide. Let's break it down!! Laurelai likes to consider herself a social justice advocate, regardless of the paths she has to take to achieve the goal of destroying those opposing her, with her most recent target being the whole of GamerGate. Her relatively recent idea of how to win over the GGers? Host her own CP forum on 8chan, and then as soon as it's created, shoot the link to a journalist in Canada to report on how Gamergate knowingly affiliates itself with child pornography. Thanks to Laurelai's unique mix of a complete lack of a moral compass and arrogance, she left a trail that tied her to a honeypot scandal on 8chan: [URL="http://i.imgur.com/lD02kcT.png"]seen here[/URL] [URL]http://i.imgur.com/4k5Py2g.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i.imgur.com/gs4DBBk.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i.imgur.com/0HJuFlK.jpg[/URL] [URL]http://i.imgur.com/pgtG7cF.jpg[/URL] Funnily enough the journalist she sent the link to got put under investigation by the Canadian government for CP. Wasn't just play-pretend, apparently. Well shit this is pretty terrible, what'd she do then? I'm not entirely sure, but earlier today she tragically took her life- or that's what was insinuated from [URL="http://i.imgur.com/YZJ6CjI.png"]this screenshot[/URL] on her blog. Thanks to some detective work, someone figured out that LL deleted most of her prominent social media networks to go radio silent and then hopped on a bunch of sockpuppet twitter accounts to further abuse one of her victims. When LL was uncovered as faking her own suicide (in a manner like Leelah's, no less), she hopped back on tumblr to squeeze in a couple more posts 'explaining' her reasons and then fled into the void: [URL]http://i.imgur.com/bgoFmG7.png[/URL] Who's that "stalker" she mentions? It's a former victim of Laurelai's. [URL="http://pastebin.com/GyzaNTSP"]Here's her chilling monologue about laurelai[/URL] Laurelai raped a woman and forced her to testify in LL's defense. This isn't LL's first time, and this likely won't be her last. Her favorite activity is to use her status as a poor transwoman sex-worker to garner sympathy from advocate groups to cover her tracks. She is damaging to everyone she comes into contact with and is a blight to women, transgender people, sex workers, social justice advocates and whatever other identity she tries to claim. Fuck her in particular for riding in the wake of a teenager's suicide to try and amplify her harassment of someone she raped. What's my stake in all this? A couple of years ago, I was in a group alongside Laurelai. I stood by as she implicated some college dude for CP to his university and the FBI, a life-ruining sentence. I thought it was over the line, as did several others, but LL proceeded anyways. I'm not sure if I could have stopped her from doing that, but I figure I may as well atone by exposing her here, right now, as the horrible human being she is. [/quote]
[QUOTE=Thlis;46977958]I am not sure if this has been posted yet but someone may have faked a suicide. I'm going to wait on posting the KiA post because it has no verifying comments yet, but it has been stickied. Remaining skeptical for now because some of it sounds like hearsay but I haven't been following up closely about this person.[/QUOTE] It's posted by the top moderator (by hierarchy) on KIA, if this isn't true then KIAs moderatorship will have it's credibility destroyed. Usually they gotta get pretty solid confirmation but it's a closed system so we only have trust and the evidence on the front.

guys josh was pretending to be retarded [img]http://i.imgur.com/daFamun.jpg[/img]
Josh MctinJosh is such a Social Justice hero, when he acts like a retard it's in the name of social justice.
"lol I was faking being a terrorism apologist" ,no no you wernt your whole past actions point to it being genuine. This is a guy who protested the JeSuisCarlie solidarity hashtag.
To be honest, as much of a lunatic Josh is, I kind of think we should stop giving attention to him (Until an operation is in effect) Like those articles Kotaku makes, they're probably making money off of being retarded.
No he's saying he legitimately held the views but he just said it more angrily.
[QUOTE=Wii60;46978330]guys josh was pretending to be retarded [img]http://i.imgur.com/daFamun.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Rule #839: Just because you were pretending to be retarded doesn't mean you weren't acting retarded. In this case, for like a solid 12 months.
Isn't this the second time he's tried to use the puppet master defense?

[QUOTE=Wii60;46978330]guys josh was pretending to be retarded [/QUOTE] Which is funny because I don't think that includes feminist frequency's "bombing them back to traditional values" [QUOTE=Ziron;46978411]Isn't this the second time he's tried to use the puppet master defense?[/QUOTE] A few days ago he was claiming he was tweeting stuff from a borderline anarchist to prove that GG wasn't left leaning. He has absolutely nothing. I think he has outright lost relevance now.
contact josh's professors to see if they support his actions. If they don't in any way spread it around.
This really has me wanting to start a non-political game review website that just reviews games based on performance, bugs, and general added/expected features. No politics, no clickbait, no content morality judgement, just about the game.
i just thought of something regarding what josh said, re "taking away attention from usual targets". isnt that shit basically useless since there are like a load of people in GG doing different shit anyway, like there are some people digging up shit, making ops to do, archiving e-celeb bullshit and what not. it's not like GG is some centralized movement anyway where we ought to do only one thing or something. we're basically one big blob that does shit on their own. im sorry if im not making sense, i just thought what he said was very stupid (if he really thinks that way, i still lean on backpedalling idiot)
