Indiegogo Fine Young Capitalists campaign shut down. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=zerothefallen;45794279]what exactly does it mean "you need to transition before the start" does that mean you need to have srs or just identify as a girl or.. i do not understand. can someone explain[/QUOTE] It probably just means you can't enter as a guy and in the middle of the contest turn heels and start identifying as a girl and vice versa.

[QUOTE=residntevl;45794400]People are saying TFYC's policy on Trans women wasn't properly defined back then, but on their site it says that "You just have to identify as a woman. No surgery required." and then go on to explain what transitioning could mean.[/QUOTE] As far as I remember their policy was you had to have "started transitioning" as trans before a certain date, by "started transitioning" they meant "identify as". Everyone thought they meant surgery and got angry about it. They might've said that they consulted a trans organisation about the wording before putting it up online and they told them to use "started transitioning" because that's the proper use of the phrase according to that organisation You can listen to somebody from TFYC explain the whole mess with their misunderstood trans policy here (from 5 minutes onwards) [url]https://soundcloud.com/super-admin/tfyc-confession[/url]

[QUOTE=zerothefallen;45794279]what exactly does it mean "you need to transition before the start" does that mean you need to have srs or just identify as a girl or.. i do not understand. can someone explain[/QUOTE] The way it was explained by them as I recall was basically just "You have to have identified as a woman prior to applying." Pretty much the only restriction was that you couldn't join if you had very recently said you were trans.

[QUOTE=Glitchman;45794390]After all this I've concluded Zoe doesn't care about games, women, or journalism at all. Only herself.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out she hired a ghost writer to make Depression Quest.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;45791702]Not to the same degree as this whole debacle. I don't remember InternetAristocrat or MundaneMatt making 1 hour long videos about it. I suppose. Still a jarring juxtaposition of coverage though. [editline]25th August 2014[/editline] People complained about a general sense of not trusting games journalists like IGN and Gamespot, especially after Gerstmann, but not about the specifics. I started picking up on it after EA and DICE invited famous Youtubers out to see the game, gave them free shit, and wined and dined them so they can go back to their subscribers and talk about how great the game was. Then it launches and it's one of the worst launches of a game ever.[/QUOTE] If you wanna know why we have 1 hour videos about Zoe its because we are getting fuckloads of new information and a FUCKLOAD of information day after day. If you wanna know why that didnt happen with the Nexus tablets its because we knew right away what happened. They were bribed Nexus 7s. We had that information, there was nothing more to it at all. Where as this Zoe shit isnt so simple. You were blind or blissfully unaware of how much of a shitshow that nexus shit caused. Im sure you can find plenty of videos on it, I know TB talked about it and HAS talked about this type of shit in the industry multiple times. Even his own personal experiences. Hell, the Nexus bribes were hardly the most offensive and blatent thats happened. I wonder if you can find anything about the Blops1/2 journalism shit, I remember that shit being ridiculous.

You cannot sign up as a Man, then get surgery or decide to become a women afterwards. Thats all.

[QUOTE=Reimu;45793863]It got better. Zoe said she only tweeted about it a couple times, but the truth is she flooded her own twitter with trying to make these folks look bad. [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/n8EvAsb.png[/thumb][/QUOTE] What a despicable little bitch...

[url]https://twitter.com/TFYCapitalists/status/503934174156554241[/url] A meeting has been scheduled with indiegogo. Now we just wait even more.

[QUOTE=Banned?;45795054]What a despicable little bitch...[/QUOTE] I think calling her a bitch is what she expects us to do. Please do not insult bitches by comparing Ms. Quinn to her. At least now we have legal evidence that Ms. Quinn doxxed them.

[QUOTE=Penultimate;45795285]I think calling her a bitch is what she expects us to do. Please do not insult bitches by comparing Ms. Quinn to her. At least now we have legal evidence that Ms. Quinn doxxed them.[/QUOTE] At this point, they could file a libel case against her.

I have a better description of Zoe: Zoe Quinn is a chickenshit coward that weaponizes real issues in order to control things like a bully. When caught with her pants down, like any good coward, she retreats to her clique, calls in a few favors, and lets other people try to clean up her mess.

Guys the campaign is back again. Same link.

[QUOTE=Reimu;45795466] I really don't like Zoe Quinn. Yep. This is the reason why SJ people are starting to dislike her. You can piss off a lot of people by turning feminists and LGBTQ activists into your personal army. In this case, weaponizing trans people due to something that was completely made up about TFYC: definitely, definitely going to piss people off.[/QUOTE] I really hope this whole thing is what makes both sides see how fucking retarded they can be and actually start working together to make shit better, instead of trying to make eachother worse.

I haven't seen a single post about Vivian James yet ;_;

[QUOTE=Bryceanater;45795743]I haven't seen a single post about Vivian James yet ;_;[/QUOTE] vivan is /v/'s daughteru and it's better for everyone if it stays that way.

[QUOTE=Mecha Pirate;45786996]Can anyone archive this/link to archives/notify someone to archive in case something happens?[/QUOTE] Pulling it right now (with JDownloader), [I]if[/I] something happens you can message me and I'll put the audio somewhere.

I wish i had the ability to donate at the moment I'll just spread the word around a bit more, as far as i can that is

I kind of hope this doesn't end up falling into obscurity.

Latest update from the Fine Young Capitalists [QUOTE]On Failure and Success Sunday Morning at around 4:00 AM the Indiegogo page of The Fine Young Capitalists was hacked by accessing Matthew’s Indiegogo account. The Hackers were able to modify the Indiegogo page, deleting all the information and replaced the description with text stating the campaign had been closed, on account of the way that /v/ had been treating an individual in the gaming community at the request of the Indiegogo team. Around 5:00 AM the Hackers deleted the campaign. None of the information presented on the page was true. TFYC contacted Indiegogo almost immediately and they took steps to recover both the data and the campaign contributions. But because they were unsure if Matthew’s account was still compromised, they needed to contact him direct to prove his identity. After a conversation this morning and Matthew sending the relevant government ID, the campaign was reopened and is now taking contributions. This has been hard on everyone involved. Indiegogo did takes step to contact us on Sunday but due to the time difference and everyone involved we were unable to make proper contact till Monday morning. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience and have taken steps to make sure this does not happen in the future. On Success Due to /v/ and 4chan’s effort in promoting the project and their link having successfully raised over $10,000 dollars and a logo they choose will appear at the start screen of the game,and in correspondence to the community if the game is successfully backed. We’d like to thank them for their encouragement. We will continue to make video promoting Women in Video Game at the request of 4chan. The newest one should be uploaded as of the time of this statement. The current value of all 4chan’s contribution is over $13,000 dollars. Thank You[/QUOTE]
