[QUOTE=Ziron;46484874]Geordie Tait made a responce to people criticizing his epic rant: Notice all of the references to Jews in the story. Methinks Geordie has some major issues with Jewish people.[/QUOTE] This part (bolded) doesn't make sense.

And who are "[b]they[/b]'re" Also I know this isn't directly tied to Gamergate but can we archive this anyway? [url]http://www.theverge.com/2014/11/13/7213819/your-bowling-shirt-is-holding-back-progress[/url] I saw it posted on the #GamerGate tag.

Gamergate has been going for what, 3 months, and it's apparently managed to gain 'historical evils'? Wow, that's like... better than ISIS.

The tfyc character thread is gone and we did talk about Aerannis during the stream so I'm going to post it here, anyone interested in pooling our money together and putting an FP inspired npc in the game for $100. Could talk to the artists who made the artwork from the tfyc thread and pick a character to use, maybe box cat. If we somehow pooled $700 we can make a boss. I had interest in being a number in retail sales so I don't care in getting a copy via backing it, but I wouldn't mind chipping into the pool to make others happy. I dunno, Maybe this is better suited for the crossdressing and transgender thread.

ill chip in 10$

[QUOTE=Ninja Gnome;46486206]it is one of his own asides, and the they're is referencing gamergaters[/QUOTE] So Geordie is the ones in brackets, and the rest is someone else?

And who are "[b]they[/b]'re"[/QUOTE] Because we're talking about how fucked up it is that he is talking about exterminating people in gas chambers, we're distracting from the issue about how we're subhuman trash that deserves to be exterminated in gas chambers. Rather than acknowledging that comparing things to the holocaust is almost always extreme rhetoric, he's doubling down and confirming that he believes GG is on par with the evils the Nazi Jews did or something.

He is batshit insane and someone to be wary of,If he knew where I lived and threatened me I would legitimately fear for my well being someone that full of hate and delusional is dangerous.

[QUOTE=Xonax;46486224]So Geordie is the ones in brackets, and the rest is someone else?[/QUOTE] the whole thing was written by him, inside and outside brackets

That Geordie guy seems like the type of guy who's going to actually follow up on a death threat he makes.

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;46486329]That Geordie guy seems like the type of guy who's going to actually follow up on a death threat he makes.[/QUOTE] Nah. Rather a weak weirdo with internet tough guy-syndrome and way too much time on his hands to write something psychotic like that. Then again, imagine how much weight is on his shoulders, treating women like shit for thousands of years. I bet he also feels the guilt of how he treated Neanderthals some couple of hundreds of thousands of years ago. And pain of all those dinos. And those poor anaerobic bacteria that suffocated themselves to death.

[QUOTE=Thlis;46483919][URL]https://archive.today/213a3[/URL] I suggest you all start writing emails to intel. Preferably something that includes the words "spineless" and "AMD".[/QUOTE] Just so everything is clear on this intel thing, intel ads via AdChoices are a world of difference compared to a partnership with intel, as in tens of thousands of dollars difference. This guy from the 8chan thread discussing this gets it. [IMG]http://s11.postimg.org/8i39j3oab/calmyourtits1.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://s11.postimg.org/lavywrp9v/calmyourtits2.png[/IMG] Intel's ads are there by way of cheap proxy as opposed to the more lucrative ads that were stopped when they pulled out. Gamasutra's statement is just fluff made to seem like it actually means something, not unlike many of their articles.

But the first sentence clearly states that it was Intel who reinstated the ads, which isnt the case Keep emailing intel asking for an official comment

[QUOTE=Thlis;46484618]I don't even fucking know anymore. [img]http://i.imgur.com/T49EQXB.png[/img][/QUOTE] So guess who the SJWs managed to get suspended from Twitter? ^ This guy right here. I rescind my earlier words of caution. Go tear 'em a new asshole over this. /gg/ thread I got the info from: [URL="https://8chan.co/gg/res/511437.html"]https://8chan.co/gg/res/511437.html[/URL]

So the CBC has firmly come out as against GamerGate instead of taking a neutral journalistic stance like they fucking should. I'd say that I am completely disgusted but frankly this is normal for them. These fucking chodes don't know what journalism is. So I guess it's not just US media that sucks ass, considering our government-funded national broadcaster has gone full retard. EDIT: holy shit I'm reading Twitter, Canadian GG supporters ARE PISSED. And considering the CBC is milking views and victim points from this I expect by next week GamerGate is going to go national in Canada. And if you guys think the SJW infection is bad in the US, just wait until you see what Canada looks like after a few days of GG vs SJW fighting. Ugh I am not looking forward to this. I'd bet money (if I had any) on there being a new push for cyberbullying laws before the end of December. EDIT 2: seriously look at this shit: [url]https://twitter.com/CBCNews/status/522484626515062784[/url] This isn't just some fucking article, they outright came out against GamerGate. What the fuck?

[QUOTE=Wii60;46483604][url]https://archive.today/CVlo7[/url][/QUOTE] That's still quite intent on smearing Gamergate, but at least someone acknowledged that most of its supporters oppose threats.

What the fuck?[/QUOTE] I have seen it in news all over Ottawa for quite awhile; CBC won't make a huge difference, it's not a front page story either, the last article I saw posted by the CBC got bombed to hell by the comments section angry with them, most of who were regular CBC users. That article was also written by somebody who is prominent feminist "journalist" who at least 25% of articles are feminist related. If your Canadian and you saw the article or saw a report on TV and thought it was terribly unrepresentative; email them at [url]http://www.cbc.ca/help/contact/programming_feedback[/url]

The CBC is even going after pakman. Pure insanity. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dS1HzFC.png[/IMG] Video featuring pakman: [video=youtube;ELZXPvdH9AY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELZXPvdH9AY[/video]

[QUOTE=residntevl;46483817]I think you aren't getting any responses regarding that sort of topic because most of the players of these games do not care about what the companies are doing regarding gender politics and are more interested in how well the company is with keeping their game(s) fun and enjoyable. A lot of people are just not interested in politics and I think this shows in a lot of discussion.[/QUOTE] people here yes. but the conversations I've had were not here or with likeminded people.

[QUOTE=BuffaloBill;46487973]Can't Pakman put forth a case about this being libel/slander?[/QUOTE]I really feel for the pacman. The man is only doing his job (and a beautiful job at that if you ask me) and he's being called a horrible person for doing it. I wasn't aware journalism was a horrible career choice for horrible people.

[QUOTE=Hidole555;46487933] [video=youtube;ELZXPvdH9AY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELZXPvdH9AY[/video][/QUOTE] So gamergate now stands for harassment of female [b]gamers[/b], not just devs and media. Well congrats on level-up, I guess.

Rats like the paparazzi fully deserve it, they're borderline stalking/harassing people, but regular journalists like Pakman get largely the same flak despite just trying to do a decent job.
