Make it my avatar? I did it 35 minutes ago.

[QUOTE=gudman;46036843]Sure a thing.

Screencap that appears around 30 minutes and maybe two other slides before that, I think I have something to add. There's more than what you said, I feel, because I've seen almost exactly this type of behaviour before. That's what entitled girls do when they think they know their partner. The underlying reason is, of course, as you noted, blame-shifting, but there's another layer. LOOK AT HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU! It only happens when I'm with YOU! Why don't you love me back and just BELIEVE EVERYTHING I TELL YOU?!

It looks like everyone's favorite guilt-trip, but that's not quite it yet. It's appeal to empathy. Look at poor me, I'm in love and crazy, and it's all because of you. Plz love me and don't question me. Pity me, I'm poor little girl who lost her shit.
It clearly happens again at around 50:40. It's in plain sight.

And that's a recurring theme, too. And the implication is even worse. It's not just that Eron DOES something that makes her act in an irrational way, it's his mere existence, mere presence in her life. Which, she says, she really-really doesn't want to end, and doesn't think that Eron wants too, or else there wouldn't be "see this is why I can't be with you" shit earlier in the flow of the video. [i]Eron's responsible for her because he is just [b]there[/b], not because of his actions[/i]. Everything she does is excusable because she's just a girl in love. Automatically. It doesn't even require justification or reason further than that.

You also say about intimidation. That all-caps can be intimidating to look at, and that it's yelling. Not in this case. In this case it's actually a well-calculated impression. That's "oh my god I'm so hysterical right now and can't help myself", it's yelling, but it's sort of crying-yelling with makeup all over her face and shit. Jumping in an out of it with sorta "normal" speech, punctuated and all - it's literally crying, then sobbing a little, and crying in full voice again.
It's supposed to appeal to empathy, not to intimidate. Again, it's just "pity me".[/QUOTE]

Hmm, this is a good point. I didn't explore this as much since I'm saving that analysis for my "guilt tripping" video. But I think you're spot on.

What with the fall of 4chan and moot, I feel this is relevant again.

You don't go on /int/ or /sp/ much, do you? We're top tier shitposters and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Also I think I remember a CounterTunes from way back in TF2 servers, probably the Surf ones. I remember you being banned for being an annoying young shit, but I didn't think you were six years younger than me.

I know i'm late to this discussion but if garry every got anything involving this and censoring his forums, he would probably post it in glod members forums to let everyone laugh with him like a couple times he has already done.

Secondly, does that 8chan creator have like a donation thing to help him out?

I never heard about BioWare. Are they openly anti-GamerGate or is it just their forums?

VICE is a culture magazine that publishes a lot of opinion pieces
VICE News is a much more serious offshoot that handles world news

for example compare the results

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;46037146]I can't watch at the moment, what's his problem?[/QUOTE]

it isn't realated to gamergate

basically a girl asks whats with the gender gap in oculus employees, Carmack basically says "we are having a hard time hiring who we want, we don't care what you look like"

[warneccruid]

[QUOTE=Doctor Zedacon;46037146]I can't watch at the moment, what's his problem?[/QUOTE]

Some girl asked why do women not represented in occulus and virtual reality. Carmak reponds in some like angry manner that there weren't many woman applicants, and this was never about person's gender or ethnicity.

I was never banned by the tf2 surf servers but I was banned by surf infamous and trident gaming for being a prepube fuck

But yeah a lot of people say I don't sound 18 which is nice

[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;46037210]you know that's pretty old right[/QUOTE]

Old and fake. They were just made to feed into the impression that Australians are shitposters and moot said multiple times on /q/ that he doesn't care nor will he be banning Australians.

He might have changes his mind after Australian moot hacked his account to expose an attention whore on /sp/ though, that was pretty funny.

I'd be pretty annoyed if someone asked a loaded and passive-aggressive question like that too.

Imagine, in our darkest hour, from nowhere comes Geoff Keighley. Clad in grey robes, pure of all swag and gamer fuel, he so ruthlessly yet gracefully destroys any anti-GG argument they have no choice but to beg forgiveness or leave the internet forever. From there he retires to a humble gaming blog leading by example of honest and fair reviews, and peace is returned to the land once more.

If you can provide transparent logos that'd be really helpful

[Heldure]

finding good quality PNGs is hard especially for sites like SA, they only seem to have shite tier ones with lots of jaggies on the edges of the lettering.
also I didnt use transparent ones either. I just colored everything so that nothing had black outlines or was another color.
