his retardation on smash bros is probably from the "settle it in smash" campaign.

He tweeted he's grown to like the new domain name, but it seems he's still trying to get the original domain back from internetbs.

[QUOTE=Durrsly;46915780]He tweeted he's grown to like the new domain name, but it seems he's still trying to get the original domain back from internetbs.[/QUOTE] It's kinda funny how the domain is owned by an organization called internet[B]bs[/B], because that's certainly what this has become.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46915447]milo rips open a new asshole[/QUOTE] Not a bad discussion, although those ladies are kind of nutters. A majority if not all of what they said has been said before. It's like a broken record when discussing with these people. They ask the same questions, blurt out the same ignorant responses, and play the "triggered/offended" card, followed by the breaking of the voice because of emotions.

[QUOTE=Xubs;46915276]I've been seeing [I]a lot[/I] of people pass around and retweet the screencap of Jonathan McIntosh retweeting that guy supporting the Charlie Hebdo incident, all laughing at how stupid the original poster is with McIntosh's little name in the corner for all to see. Like, way more people than just people involved in Gamergate. I hope this is where Jonathan McIntosh's credibility starts to tank with more people than just vocal gamers.[/QUOTE] McIntosh's reputation has already tanked. Even NeoGAF thinks he's a loon. But he can still get support by using Anita as a mouthpiece. Also note that he basically has no reputation at all as far as the media is concerned. He always gets swept under the rug and is rarely even acknowledged despite arguably being the most important person involved with FemFreq. His cover may be blown in a lot of places, but not where it counts.

I mean, the fact that this guy loves playing the ally role (like Chu and Kluwe) tells me that his time in the spotlight is numbered. All he has to do is fuck up bad enough in public, and he'll get kicked out.

I tried to write my explanation, but it got muddled up though being tired.

Is it me or have the anti-gamers gotten really desperate. Someone is doing everything in their power to take down 8chan, Pro-Gamers are exposing Anti Leaders as being loons using things like CES2015, and several Antis are in financial trouble with the law or have committed crimes in GG.

#JeNeSuisPasJonathan, because I don't support being completely fucking stupid as fuck.

Jesus Christ , If it wasnt for the fact that a bunch of people were just murdered by terrorists I would re tweet this,this is beyond distasteful.

[editline]13th January 2015[/editline] Wait, is this guy basically saying "Oh boo hoo, these poor misunderstood terrorists"? Or is he saying that Charlie Hebdo, the satire magazine who satirises extremists of all kinds, are targeting all Muslims? Because I'm pretty certain that a lot of Muslims would be quite offended that you were associating them all with terrorists.

I think he's saying that they 'got what they deserved' in a way because of the magazine's rep for making fun of people. Either way, he's a disgusting human being whichever way you put this.

Nevermind the fact that (at least) one third of those killed are minorities, no matter whether you count those not working for the magazine or not. If anything that's probably unusually diverse for central Europe. But of course they are all "white" again because there couldn't possibly be self-satire. Also no sign of sympathy for the victims. I honestly feel ill since looking at his twitter, that's how disgusted I am.
