[QUOTE=Zet;47084664]Are they all the same person or just a bunch of random people trying to troll?[/QUOTE] I'm 99% sure it's just a local troll alt, since they also managed to bless us with [URL="http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1449958"]this piece of art[/URL] (unless that's lifted from the erotic fanfiction thread).

Who's Linehan?
guy who made the show IT crowd who recently jumped into gamergate bashing sucks because IT crowd is a [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EBfxjSFAxQ"]amazing show[/URL]
[QUOTE=_Axel;47085797]Who's Linehan?[/QUOTE] He's the creator of a tv show called "IT Crowd". I talked with him on twitter. [url]https://twitter.com/senoruber/status/560392990783709184[/url] When I called him out on using gender stereotypes in his show, and accused him of enforcing misogyny by doing that (the same logic that is being applied to games) he blocked me because god forbid that man actually needs to think before writing stupid shit on twitter.

Seriously, why is he so extremely angry? Did a gamer-misogynist kill his mother? He's being such a dickhead that it almost damages my enjoyment of watching IT Crowd.
Linehan didn't just do the IT crowd, he also did Black Books and Father Ted. So basically some of my favourite shows. Please excuse me while I mentally repress his involvement with this.
A lot of people are against gamergate because they believe the media narrative. While gamergate does deserve some criticism, it's sad that the media has managed to spin it into a harrassment campaign targeted at women. It just proves how powerful the media is, even hobbyist/enthusiast media. Control the narrative and you control the truth. When it comes to media, there should be consequences to bullshitting the public. You should not be allowed to call yourself a news site when you are in reality just a thinly disguised PR or advertising firm.
It's the unfortunate reality of the internet era, it takes a lot of money to fund a newspaper, radio or tv station; websites are dirt cheap and clickbait is the most effective way to make money so it's not surprising that we're in this situation [editline]6th February 2015[/editline] Minecraft may cause violence against women, says turkey [URL]http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkeys-family-ministry-launches-probe-into-minecraft-video-game-.aspx?pageID=238&nID=77968&NewsCatID=341[/URL] Thanks a lot for the moral panic v2, you fucking assholes In other news, Banana Wu tries to bribe a steam moderator that called her out for her continuous rants on greenlight and then locks the thread when he won't have any of that shit [IMG]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B9JxlIGCIAALiGt.png:large[/IMG]
Moral panic is dumb In about 10-15 years we'll be saying "Think of the women!!" as a joke instead of "Think of the children!!" And it's media sensationalism, EVERY, SINGLE, TIME.

Piece of shit took it as his own :(
I find it bizarre when I talk to people about Gamergate and they have no clue what I'm talking about, even other gamers. It's weird to think that most of this will never cross the minds of most people.

I think Leigh Alexander was one of them.
Brianna Wu apparently blocked me on Twitter for making constructive criticism of her game
imagine still caring about gamergate [editline]6th February 2015[/editline] whoa [highlight](User was banned for this post ("shitpost" - OvB))[/highlight]
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;47087236]Brianna Wu apparently blocked me on Twitter for making constructive criticism of her game[/QUOTE] What do you expect from an awful indie dev

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;47087263]That all you have to say? Nice zing.[/QUOTE] Actually looking at your ban history, this was expected. Reported.
And look at that she deleted and banned me from her greenlight forums for the same constructive criticism. She definitely has an ego and self confidence problem if she can't handle CC
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;47087272]And look at that she deleted and banned me from her greenlight forums for the same constructive criticism. She definitely has an ego and self confidence problem if she can't handle CC[/QUOTE] Criticism =! harassment. A lesson that these people need to learn very badly.
My prediction for the financial success of that game: Worst case: Earth: Year 2066. Best case: Bad rats. Expected case: Desert gunner.
She's off to a good start to get booted off steam greenlight, cause she can't resist abusing whatever tool she's given if it benefits her. I was wondering if the prospect of screwing up the release of her game on steam would cause her to lay low, but apparently she's not even smart enough to do that And I can't find the exact quote but she said that she might issue copyright claims against youtube Let's Plays if they "go too far". You know what that means
