[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;47003939]If you mean [url="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=257887508"]this[/url] it's been around for a while, way before gamergate[/QUOTE] That's not mocking social justice warriors though.
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;47004063]That's not mocking social justice warriors though.[/QUOTE] Doesn't seem to be particularly kind to anyone, honestly.
It mocks professional social media activists and arguers, including social justice warriors
well it is satire.
[QUOTE=G-Strogg;47004063]That's not mocking social justice warriors though.[/QUOTE] It looks like it is to me, note how one side is always "toll" while the protagonist is always correct, even portraying harassment in a righteous light. It's satire on how the so-called SJW's see themselves as always correct and everyone who disagrees is trolling.
From the developer's site [url]http://nonadecimal.com/site/releasing-social-justice-warriors/[/url] I'm actually not sure why it was even at pax, it was released in may 2014 and I could have sworn I played a demo of sort a while back So yeah it has nothing to do with gamergate if it wasn't clear already
[url]http://pastebin.com/JKAJAJ6D[/url] [quote]Okay, folks, listen up. I need your help. This will only take you five minutes to do. We're pulling a big chunk of Gameranx's funding tonight. How, you may ask? By getting their Google AdSense account banned. They are in serious violation of several AdSense policies. Google takes this very seriously; we just have to get their attention. Here's how. 1. Disable AdBlock. 2. Go here: [url]https://support.google.com/adsense/contact/violation_report[/url] Try here instead [url]http://www.gameranx.com/features/id/26194/article/game-developer-interviews-about-gamergate-silverstring-media/[/url] 3. Scroll down until a floating 728x90 ad appears pinned in the BOTTOM CENTER of the page, which doesn't go away no matter where you scroll. Ignore other ads; this is the one we're interested in. 4. In the top right corner of that floating ad, you should see a tiny blue triangle pointing to the right. This is the AdChoices arrow. If you click it, it will give you information about the ad network being used. If clicking that arrow doesn't bring you to a google.com link titled "AdSense Help", then refresh the page and repeat steps 1-4 until it does. 5. Scroll to the bottom of the resulting AdSense Help page. You should see two options for what you are reporting: the ad, or the website. Click "the website". 6. Check the following boxes: - The site encouraged me to click on the ads. - The site makes it difficult to distinguish ads from content. - The site violates AdSense program policies in other ways. (…and yes, there is another checkbox labeled "The site promotes racial intolerance, or advocacy against an individual, group, or organization", but I don't think we should go that route.) 7. Fill out the "additional information" box. IN YOUR OWN WORDS, make the following points: - The ad appears in a floating box pinned to the bottom center of the page, and stays there no matter where you scroll. This encourages unnatural clicks, and it specifically violates the AdSense policy of "No floating box scripts allowed". - The ad overlaps clickable content on the page. This specifically violates the AdSense policy against encouraging accidental clicks. - The page contains a ton of foul language, such as the F word and the S word. This violates the "No excessive profanity" rule of AdSense. 8. Click "Submit", and wait for Google to confiscate the last 53 days worth of Gameranx's AdSense earnings and give it all back to the advertisers they scammed. If enough of us do this, Gameranx WILL lose all earnings in their AdSense account within 72 hours. Google will pull their entire unpaid balance for click fraud, and give it all back to the advertisers. If Gameranx's AdSense account doesn't get outright banned, it will get "smart priced", which means they will only earn about 1/5th as much in the future for any clicks their ads get. And no, this isn't us being petty to "get back" at an anti-GG site. Gameranx DID scam those advertisers, and the advertisers deserve a refund. See, advertisers pay Google for the premium quality of AdSense traffic; that's why Google has such strict rules for their ads. You can't just stick AdSense into some shit-tier network's floating box script on a page full of foul language and expect Google not to bitchslap you for it. I run my own sites, and I've been banned from AdSense for FAR FAR LESS than what Gameranx is doing. or you could use the following [url]https://support.google.com/adsense/contact/violation_report[/url] Please, just take five minutes and do this. Let's make this happen.[/quote]
Tangentially related: call SJWs social justice crusaders instead, as their defining trait is similarly inquisitive fanaticism. Fighting for what you believe isn't wrong in itself, but attacking people for having different morals or world views is simply destructive.
So they found a a botnet site which doxxes/sends threats to everybody. Not sure how real/verified it is but the evidence is fairly secure so far. Basically if it's true, it's exactly as I expected - trolls just being stupid and idiots believing them.

[QUOTE=Teddybeer;46998523]Feminist frequency just released its report about 2014, including income and spending. Don't expect much detail.[/QUOTE] Speaking of that, she released an update on the Tropes vs. Women project kickstarter page recently supposedly saying why she's taking so long and where the funding for the project is going ( [URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/566429325/tropes-vs-women-in-video-games/posts/1115560"]https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/566429325/tropes-vs-women-in-video-games/posts/1115560[/URL] ). In a nutshell Anita said that the scope and scale of the project was much larger then she ever thought it would get to and that the "emotional toll" of the harassment she received got to her. You can interpret it as you like :v: .

SJW is an oxymoron, that's the whole point.
[QUOTE=Ithon;47004517]-adsense stuff-[/QUOTE] I'm a bit stupid and I cannot find the ad at all, help. On a fresh install of Chrome, no adblock. What am I doing wrong? Edit: Found it. Didn't work on Pale Moon or Chrome. Had to use IE for it to show up
[QUOTE=Ithon;47004517]adsense stuff[/QUOTE] Cool, but what is Gameranx? I've never heard of them before and I'm not really comfortable doing this until I know what they've done.

If he's up to dirty deeds, exposing that shit to the people who matter could put another dent in the anti-gamer's armor.
I'm eagerly awaiting the day find out about Badder Hacks and try to make sense of all the bizzare, racist, and other -ist hacks there, like Naked Headless Mario fights the Dick Nazis, The Lone Rapist, Donner Party, Sonny Bono's Ski Adventure, Fortran's Naked Lottery, Gay Ghostfuckers II, Kim Jong Un vs the PedoBronies, Fucker's Queef, and Butt Babies & Tranny Tramps: Abnormal Family. The sheer amount of offensive content in hacks like them would cause all of gaming jounalism to have a complete meltdown from hack writers into incoherent baddling about sexism, racism and how immature gamers are.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;47003153]Couldn't you just in theory incorporate yourself as a salesman and then "sell" yourself an object you took from your desk for 440k, or something similar (put something up for auction at 440k and buy it back)? That's assuming there aren't any strict guidelines on how the money is used, just spent so there's no "profit". (This isn't about FF, just theorycrafting about loopholes in general.)[/QUOTE] 99% sure that is illegal. Salaries are not though, so you can just drain the money in plain sight. Non-profit only means they can't build up a lot of capital and then run with it in one fell swoop.
They were so optimistic. They were so [I]fucking stupid.[/I]
