So this was brought up in the main thread: [QUOTE=Reimu;45853308]Interesting observation. Look who Zoe Quinn is getting close with? [url]https://twitter.com/TheQuinnspiracy/status/505894888571817984[/url] [url]http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/03/29/the-mittanis-crime-punishment-in-eve-online/[/url] [quote]The Mittani, Eve Online’s most famous and infamous player, has learned the hard way that the internet is serious business after all. The controversy arose at last week’s Eve Fanfest, where in a public talk he first mocked and then urged others to hound a player who was apparently suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts. “Incidentally, if you want to make the guy kill himself, his [in-game] name is [REDACTED]“, Mittani declared. Unsurprisingly, this quickly spread beyond the Fanfest.[/quote] I'm glad someone who stands for fighting depression thinks an infamous harasser is a swell guy!

[QUOTE=EskillV2;45852330]Got this from the comments. [img]http://i.imgur.com/E8KfMNU.png[/img] Seems a little bit crazy to me.[/QUOTE] As much as I don't like the aspects of what Zoe Quinn and the gaming journalists she's associated with have done these past few weeks, I highly doubt Zoe Quinn and those gaming journalists would go through all that effort just to spite male gamers. It just seems way too over the top to be true.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;45853287] irrelevant people on Tumblr are destroying society.[/QUOTE] In his last podcast which happened before all of this Zoe Quinn stuff he said he was going to start a series on social justice warrior journalists. Kind of funny how that turned out.

Kind of funny how that turned out.[/QUOTE] I don't know what theoretical videos about video game journalists have to do with the Hugbox and Tumbrism videos I was clearly referencing. You are a fan of those because you like to feel superior to people on the internet who say silly things. That's okay, but you shouldn't complain when other people inevitably find it obnoxious.
Near the beginning of the video he seemed to imply that this whole conflict was unavoidable if you're in the internet. Honestly I stopped caring after his second video and never heard about this thing again until today. Didn't seem that hard to avoid to me, in fact I think it's starting to die down and honestly I hope it does.

This shits terrible, dont STOP talking about it, god damn.
[QUOTE=AaronM202;45856700]I sure as fuck hope not. This shits terrible, dont STOP talking about it, god damn.[/QUOTE] Oh c'mon. Regardless of your stance on this whole thing let's be honest, we both know nothing good is gonna happen in the end. Either people harrass someone until they leave the internet (which would prove they're better amirite), some sites shut down or worst case scenario someone tries to kill themselves. I hope this stops before it reaches that point. [editline]31st August 2014[/editline] I mean, remember when people got mad at Phil Fish because he was Phil Fish? He's still around today and the only thing that caused was the cancellation of a game that many would've liked to see.
All hail Geoff Keighley.
Geoff Keighley is the savior of gaming
God I am so tired of seeing all this stuff, even worse is i know people personally who are fucking buying into the Journalist side of things and now I actually see people on here even saying Gamer is bad word. Jesus christ, it's like the industry is dying right in front of me. I really can't wait for this to be over and I can't wait for gaming to become what it used to be: appreciating video games. That's all I want. This is honestly super reminiscent about when comics got shafted by the media years ago

But now with "Feminists" (Not the real ones, nor am I saying that they're the real one's because most of their arguements are simply ad hominem, generalizing and insulting people) and Gaming Journalism has now tacked on so much fucking bullshit to being a Gamer that 99% of it doesn't even fucking include. Seriously. I'm a Gamer, do I hate women? No. I'm not under the fucking umbrella of who you think I am, STOP TRYING TO BRING ME UNDER IT. Jesus christ.

It's really stupid people love to generalize groups to make it easier to despise people it seems
He really hit the nail on the head with this one, and the last one, and the one before that.
[QUOTE=HWECQI;45857614]Yeah exactly.

Zoe seems to be just what they say about her, and Maya I cannot dispute because I do not have enough knowledge to correctly criticize her. Most of the people who are heralding the end of the term of "Gamers", that it be mysognistic and full of faux-hate that it is, seems to be hiding behind an altruistic movement for their own future gain, immediate or otherwise. Seriously, the figure-heads are people who are known to be manipulative and they all seem to be supporting one another, and using disingenuous means to silence the opposition instead of debating them on even ground. If only people had taken the time to read of what is happening and look into on why they're doing it.
Can I... Can I just play games again without this Hippocratic bullshit? Can I play Bayonetta without 3 people around me telling me I'm a shit person because I enjoy it? This was the biggest problem I saw when vidya started becoming more and more "popular", not the intrusion of women (Please fucking play, I still get my ass handed to me by one of my oldest online friends who is female) but the mass hysteria of "social problems it causes" and how hypocritical it would become. jesus.
