[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;47031618]I kinda wish he had reviewed it originally. It would have burned her so bad, she'd never have been able to even get a word in to this fight.[/QUOTE] Unless it's out on PC TB wouldn't touch it at all in a WTF is.
TB may be fairly coarse- he doesn't sugarcoat things most of the time- but I've never seen him actually attack anybody unless they have attacked him, and even if they have then he'll still be gentle whilst being firm. In 10 years, he'll basically be Based Dad.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;47029413]Gamergate is entirely different because she injected herself into the conversation and people took the bait and ran with it. Every Sarkeesian thread that pops up on the first page of KiA is publicity for her in an era where publicity, good or bad, for a female in the video games world is never a bad thing.[/QUOTE] If she's not questioned then she just gains that same power more slowly and then it's harder to dislodge her. Think of doing it this way as a way of getting it over with and trying to move towards an industry that actually critically examines thing before endorsing her, the end goal here isn't to tear apart her credability specifically it's to allow that to happen in the first place based on the actual content of critics videos in general.
Imagine if Ryulong tried taking up another language just to edit that language's article. That would show his batshit insanity.
If he did that, someone might as well write up a fanfiction about him for the sake of comedy.
I forgot, is Anthony Burch, writer of BL2 and Pre Sequel, anti-gamergate?
[QUOTE=wickedplayer494;47032167]Imagine if Ryulong tried taking up another language just to edit that language's article. That would show his batshit insanity.[/QUOTE] 2018-10-5: User ryulong now banned from klingon wikipedia. Arbcom voting in favor of preemptively banning him from elvish, dwarven and orcish wikipedia since he's already banned from all others.
[QUOTE=Trooper34;47032089]Unless it's out on PC TB wouldn't touch it at all in a WTF is.[/QUOTE] We may get to see that when Wu finally gets off her twitter chair and ports the game to PC But apes have probably retaken the earth before that happens.
[QUOTE=Xonax;47032197]I forgot, is Anthony Burch, writer of BL2 and Pre Sequel, anti-gamergate?[/QUOTE] lol
[QUOTE=Xonax;47032197]I forgot, is Anthony Burch, writer of BL2 and Pre Sequel, anti-gamergate?[/QUOTE] Oh and Nerd3? I think he isn't or atleast Neutral but I am not too sure. I wish we had a list for this.
[QUOTE=Xonax;47032197]I forgot, is Anthony Burch, writer of BL2 and Pre Sequel, anti-gamergate?[/QUOTE] None, he just gets to watch.
I had the pleasure of talking to this chucklefuck: [url]https://twitter.com/somezet/status/560686875149467648[/url] I'm still waiting for a reply...
Jimmy wales learns about sealioning [url]https://storify.com/gameragodzilla/jimmy-wales-on-sealioning[/url]
[QUOTE=Xonax;47032215]Oh and Nerd3? I think he isn't or atleast Neutral but I am not too sure. I wish we had a list for this.[/QUOTE]NerdCubed is technically neutral, but he very much supports the ideals of GamerGate even if he has never given his explicit endorsement of the movement. And he happily will defend the pro side from the stupid shit.
I am really to tired to think of why but this screams Irony on a few levels for me.
People tried to call Jimmy Wales AGG for some reason. He said some offbase stuff, but remember that before that he called Ryulong and others out about their behavior, and even explicitly stated that GameJournoPros was collusion. And he was pushing GamerGate to create a draft of their own that could be used on the GamerGate wiki page, several of which he was fond of.
allistar pinsof gives zero fucks, reports corruption in indie scene [url]https://twitter.com/megaspacepanda/status/560595840528433152[/url] [QUOTE]Details involve one first-hand account and 2 second-hand accounts of major corruption in indie dev scene. Info will be at @TechRaptr soon.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Wii60;47032289]Jimmy wales learns about sealioning [URL]https://storify.com/gameragodzilla/jimmy-wales-on-sealioning[/URL][/QUOTE] This was basically what I thought about sealioning when it first came up, the sea lion in the comic appears to be in the right, especially when talking about an online space - he's not coming into their home to pester them about it, he's just coming "onto" their twitter and asking them to justify their public statement. If it was a private statement (in other words, an email or private message), he'd never have heard it and they wouldn't be asked to justify their position.
ill be curious to see if the wiki gamergate article actually gets any better now that a lot of the worst editors are gone. It looks like the red pen of doom is still there so probably not but we'll see.
more butthurt from wiki verdict [url]https://storify.com/bboven86/wikipedia-can-t-be-neutral-if-they-don-t-agree-wit[/url] and peter coffin said the DMCA that he sent 8chan was not authorized by him to be sent, and then this happens: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vOCxdpC.png[/IMG]
Okay okay I know I keep asking but you guys have to understand, with all the amount of AGG, it's hard to keep track on who is AGG, Neutral and PGG. Is Mike Cernovich and Anthony Burch AGG? I think they are but I am not sure. And who is Peter Coffin exactly? I assume he is also AGG?
why dont you look them up. their tweets alone should tell you who they're rooting for.

[QUOTE=LeonS;47032436]why dont you look them up. their tweets alone should tell you who they're rooting for.[/QUOTE] I did, and it's hard to tell since they don't post GG stuff 24/7. Also so Anthony Burch is AGG...Does he put GG stuff into Borderlands? Should I avoid buying the Pre-sequel?

"I’ve been told once or twice that the bisexual or gay characters I wrote for Borderlands 2 were arbitrary and forced. This is one hundred percent true. I did not have any particular stories to tell about human sexuality — I just randomly chose a few characters and decided that they weren’t heterosexual. I had no "reason" to do so other than the belief that a cast of sexually diverse characters is better than a sexually homogenous one." -anthony burch [url]http://www.heyash.com/in-defense-of-arbitrary-diversity/[/url]
he's very intent on pushing his political views onto almost all characters in borderlands, especially the pre-sequel. tbh i just wouldnt buy anything written by him or made by that awful company

Hetero characters are also often hetero "for no reason", but it's not like they talk all the time about how they really really like the opposite sex.

(He did say a few unjustified things though.)
