actually there were people who were trying to force US action against the Taliban in the late 90s, and everyone I knew who was working toward that cause was... a SJW

Chris von Csefalvay @chrisvcsefalvay · Mar 16What upsets me is people making a living out of branding us monsters for the games that gave many of us rare moments of respite amidst pain.

Wait, whats he trying to say there, that gg complaints are simply about people *being gamers*? WTF.

Maybe if you are concerned about being branded a monster don't compare someone complaining about a comic book to a terrorist group who literally kills people.

literally every video game is a hate crime and should be prosecuted as such

video games instead of having "cool computer graphics" should instead euthanize their players

xp that story makes a little more sense if you see the actual Killing Joke-inspired cover:http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/dc-comics-cancels-batgirl-joker-variant-at-artists-request

oh ok the cover was linked halfway through the article (really should've been at the top) but i get why it was pulled
― Nhex, Wednesday, 18 March 2015 04:42 (nine years ago) link
that cover is pretty fucked up, bad call. Is batgirl worth reading now?

At least one part of it completely highlights the bullshit direction DC went with Nu52 which contrasts so severely with that of the revamped book, and the reaching out they're trying to do with some of the newer titles

Have you ever wondered how the mainstream gaming media became so hostile to gamers? You can point the finger at the London-based conglomerate United Business Media (UBM), the umbrella corporation to GamerGate’s Jill Valentine. For the past several years, UBM has been clandestinely operating or funding SJW gaming organizations such as Gamasutra, the IGDA and the Games Developer Conference, giving them enormous influence in the industry. Reaxxion is the first publication to expose UBM and the ways they’ve been manipulating the video game industry.

...and gets way more insane conspiracy theory from there
oh, of course

ums do you take that sweet UBM money? how did you find this link? we need answers

Think about it in terms of strategic planning:
a) You know that the US/west EU games industry is going to undergo a full blown 1983 style collapseb) You tried your best to remove Japan from the picture through Project Manhattan but failed after the Xbox 360 didn't beat the PS3 and the Xbone got raped by the Xbonec) You had a backup plan: Reshape games to be hostile to the consumer and to be taken seriously by congress.d) Have some sleeper "educational game companies" ready to be purchased by bigger game bodies readye) Force the collapse to happen, ask for a bail out to save educational gamesf) Enjoy infinite profits for very little work, game crash averted.
....think about it guys

This seems like it might be insane
― DJP, Wednesday, 25 March 2015 21:25 (nine years ago) link
d) Have some sleeper "educational game companies" ready to be purchased by bigger game bodies ready
i mean at a certain point any corporation is going to look at the possibility running a secret network sleeper cell of educational video game developers, but i don't get the sense that it happens as often as people think
― kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 25 March 2015 21:28 (nine years ago) link
It's funny how the stories these people tell themselves so much resemble video game stories.

gamergate commentary goes down easier if you read it in your head in the voice of duke nukem and add "oh yeeaaaaaaaah" to the end of every sentence

e) Force the collapse to happen, ask for a bail out to save educational games
they think that video games are as much of a linchpin to the american economy as major banks and the auto industry, and would surely be bailed out by a sympathetic congress
― mh, Wednesday, 25 March 2015 21:34 (nine years ago) link
Well I mean look at how much of the U.S. economy is tied up in educational games, just think it through
