The thing is, I don’t disagree with how America was almost as bad as Nazi Germany. Hell, we put the Japanese in internment camps and were terrible to people of color in general. Granted, we’re already marginally better now and we still have a ways to go. I refuse to support a game that actively peddles regressive…

Blatant Uncle Tomery actually puts into words why he always rubbed me the wrong way. I could never get into the Cosby show because 1) Cosby always creeped me the fuck out, and 2) even for a sitcom everything felt very fake/forced...like the members of the family were playing a role they were expected to play instead…

Yep. That’s the anti-SJW crowd’s MO.

Some of his sexist tweets are as recent as April 2017.

I can’t like this comment enough. I want to just mash the star button, but sadly that won’t reflect to you how much I appreciate this post. Maybe people are assuming he’s been a racist and/or sexist asshole online because of his incredibly defensive attitude that was totally unprompted?

He’s sad he’s not going to get a hand out for what is probably a mediocre, sub-par project. And you know what? Even if it’s a good project, if it espouses bigoted views, I, as a consumer, am not going to throw my money at it. But how dare me for exercising my rights in a capitalistic society by not putting my money…

I’m glad you had such good friends around you that helped you be a better person. It’s amazing what your environment can do for you.

This tweet has a very good summary of just a few examples:

To each their own. I can’t in good conscience give my money to a creator whose views (that I’m aware of) I actively disagree with strongly for a piece of media that actively promotes those views.

Except this is exactly the kind of game where he’s inserting his political beliefs directly into the core of the plot, so by buying the game you are financially promoting his extremist and anti feminist GGer views.

Is it like, a requirement as a white male that as soon as you receive any small amount of success that you have to become a sexist asshole? Are we all just mogwai that are at risk of being fed after midnight?

I actually want to vomit.

Too bad one of the creators is part of the Gamergate movement.

Tables are a luxury. Poor people should do a better job of managing their money. If a poor person has a table, they’re living beyond their means.

Why are you applauding with two left hands?

It’s currently at Nintendo NYC.

Joanna, I absolutely love your writing. This was a joy to read from start to finish. You have an incredible wit to your writing and I always enjoy reading your articles even if I don’t comment on them often. Thanks for what you do!

I made her a Pegasus Knight (which she’s phenomenal at, btw), but my biggest miscalculation was to not turn any of my villagers into mages. I didn’t get a proper made for Alm until the Forest Village, so I’m definitely struggling a bit with that party, although I finally got almost everyone promoted once, so things…

I was looking to see if anyone mentioned the PSO music at the end. If not, I was going to. I have so many fond memories wrapped up in PSO I&II for the GCN...

Makes you realize why vampires in older lore were such dicks, lol.
