his point while valid is less valid because no one really has been thinking about him during this ordeal.

...Is he complaining that nobody's looking into his own history of corruption? Shit, son. Everyone was kind of focused somewhere else, but if you really want to bring out evidence yourself I'm sure you can be accommodated.

[QUOTE=Dick Slamfist;45887002]who the fuck is ian cheong and why does he show up anytime anything happens with women in games[/QUOTE] I think he's an ex-reddit admin. Not sure if he got fired or quit or what but he's been at this for longer than anyone else.

I hate to sound traitorous but I get his point. It's common for lots of people to know each other. I wouldn't call that corruption.

Now, I don't know exactly if that has ever happened (sounds like one hell of a time), but that's how I imagine it, anyway. Your professional life and personal life (friendships, lovers) should be kept separate and not intermingle. Knowing people is fine, just don't abuse it.

Also this. [img]http://i.imgur.com/eFzeQ4x.png[/img] He's a walking timebomb.

also i find it funny that people say 4chan is mysoginistic [URL]http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/4chan.org[/URL] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wmkQb4R.png[/IMG] Females go to 4chan more than men apparently compared to kotaku [URL]http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/kotaku.com[/URL] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/P36XkKq.png[/IMG]

If those tweets are real. They can be used in that whole sega vs gearbox case right?

Hahaha Anthony is a walking liability at this point. I hope you enjoyed your jokes and sudden tone shifts every 5 minutes in BL2 Tony, because you ain't doing that again for a while.

Allegedly Jenn is getting ganged up on her Twitter. I feel a bit bad for her.

[QUOTE=warneccruid;45887576] Genndy Tartakovsky is from the future[/QUOTE] PPG also predicted modern radical feminism logic in the episode [URL="https://vimeo.com/81270702"]"Equal Fights"[/URL] lauren faust was involved in the creation of that ep, who went on to make MLP, Fosters home for imaginary friends, and other cartoons.

It's sad that a person like TotalBiscuit, someone who doesn't even consider himself to be a journalist, just a mere YouTuber personality, has shown more professionalism than so many game devs or journos.

[QUOTE=Wii60;45887759][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/aWGFk9k.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I feel like if I opened up the dictionary and looked up "tryhard" we'd get Anthony.

[QUOTE=Problem;45887777]I feel like if I opened up the dictionary and looked up "tryhard" we'd get Anthony.[/QUOTE] I like how he uses "Oh yeah, one time I rated a game bad" as way to say "Because I did that, there's no WAY the industry is corrupt!"

[QUOTE=BigPalooka;45887789]I like how he uses "Oh yeah, one time I rated a game bad" as way to say "Because I did that, there's no WAY the industry is corrupt!"[/QUOTE] This reinforces the point that the other side keeps ignoring that this is about corruption and keeps pushing that it's about misogyny. They're ignoring it so hard that they're literally on our side now.

When Anita's latest video came out I recall him tweet get something super cringily phrased along the lines of "Awesome geez, I shouldn't have damseled Lilith, oh darn".
