I always do it twice.

Moot was 20 grand in the hole from 4 chan at one point, he evened out but I can't imagine it's suddenly super profitable.

And here I thought I was being nice mentioning and conceding a legitimate complaint. I can't imagine why review outfits came to the conclusion they should just wait this out. I meant for the Batman villain bit to refer to the idea that people seem to expect to find incriminating confessions...

I strongly suspect you didn't read my series of posts. Let me sum it up. No one is going to confess to wrongdoing on twitter. People use social media to ***** to their friends and write sarcastic comments. Quinn is sarcastic about everything. Random tweets are just not compelling. When it's...

Scars said you're either for or against being neutral, not for gamergate (or some other cause). No one's neutral about the concept of neutrality.

I was trying to make the point that twitter is not a great source for snatching quotes and interpreting them, sorry for being unclear. My point in an earlier comment was that Quinn is very often sarcastically saying "yes, I totally did this thing you accused me of", and then these are pasted...

It looks like from the comments under that tweet that no one's taking it seriously. It looks like someone accused her of ddossing and she responded the way that she responds to everything, as far as I can tell. It's way before gamergate but that's not the only fight on the internet she's had, I...

Quinn likes to make a lot of sarcastic tweets. I scrolled down her feed as far as I felt like it and there was no shortage of "Omg I'm totes the evil internet overlord" and many varieties on "yes, I'm doing the thing you're accusing me of, random harrasser, you are so smart". You should probably...

Pretty much the same thing as now. Reactionaries branded them as anti-man and over enough time it had acquired a number of people who would associate them with that. Modern feminism did have some extreme theorists who made it easier to tarnish their brand, but it would have happened anyway...

Woman's liberation had the sense to rebrand as feminist too, when the former term acquired too much baggage. Feminist is itself a rebrand, and their success is in part because they had the sense to abandon a tainted title. Side note, I'm also of the opinion that feminism is about due for...

I find this idea of an anti GG side a bit baffling. I'm sure there's some tumblr mailing lists or whoever the boogeyman is organizing tweet campaigns and the like. To extrapolate that therefore there's an organized anti GG movement is overly paranoid. Why would game developers and journalists...

There's some ok articles on there, but I wouldn't disagree. Even the best case scenario when I browse there is I read the first paragraph, go "i suppose that's something to think about". And then the rest of their always insanely long articles repeat the same point over and over, or goes off the...

I'm obviously talking about the more hardcore fan communities that cares about these things, you cited the amount of people who play games, total. I'm glad you know how to goggle, but your ability to find relevant statistics instead of grabbing the first thing that looks like it makes your point...

There's been periodic calls for a comic gate thing on comics forums by the odd loose GG cannon who's also into comics. I seldom see even a couple of posts in support. I believe comics culture has less of a knee jerk reaction to feminist and other critiques as they consider comics legitimate art...

I see people complaining that someone's coming for their games significantly more than anyone saying "this game shouldn't exist". I guess everyone slept through English class. Academic criticism is not a prelude to banning all FPSs, some people just like dissecting stuff.
