Good on you for owning up. Many Gawker Media writers do cartwheels to avoid responsibility when they’re wrong, and that’s something that alienates readers like nothing else.

It’s a more “comic book” style pose. And there’s still butt there. Everybody wins.

I’m going to be serious and say that this is just all around an improvement.

“Why are you making me beat you up?!”

Honestly, it doesn’t matter what they are mad about and what reason. Even if it were a justifiable one. Once you act like this scum, you are no longer right nor your cause is fair.

They’re going to war over their right to play with boob sizes on a video game. Let’s be honest here. They’re idiot man-children with nothing better to do.

I personally know Allison, went to high school with her and everything. She’s one of the most intellectual people I’ve ever known. It’s pretty sad to see how gamers can’t figure out how to voice their opinions and just attack the first person they deem targetable. Maybe companies would take them seriously of the…

Their goal is character assassination and getting the woman fired. They don’t give two shits about internal consistency in their arguments.

Agreed. All I got from this was, jeez what a bunch of crybabies. With all of the horrible things in the world today, they gotta complain about a company’s editing practices and treat it like it’s the end of the world.

“That doesn’t make any fucking sense at all.”

This was a solid article, thanks for showing off the shenanigans.

Now I will comment in the language of my culture, which coincidentally I think these chodes will understand:

To those who aren’t content just to vote with their wallets and are actually trying to get people fired instead of having an honest, passionate,…

They are angry that some fun features were removed from localizations. Frankly I am pissed off too. But they took it too far.

It makes perfect sense within their mindset. There’s two things at play here: 1) they firmly believe that the “other side” is full of liars, hypocrites, and nitpicking moral scolds who take things out of context purely as an underhanded debate tactic, so (they think) it’s perfectly OK if GG does it, too - ya know,…

As the article itself notes in the beginning, there is an actual reasonable group criticizing the translation as a whole. Granted, this is the group that isn’t going after the throats of specific targets, which is but saying that what Treehouse did on Fates was a less than stellar translation. There is some truth to…

That doesn’t make any fucking sense at all.

It doesnt make sense because all of these people are fucking crazy

Patrick, this is a great article. I was watching this thing unfold from NeoGAF and had no idea what was happening or why. I heard about the infamous college paper, but felt that since it was on her LinkedIn, it was more of a nonsequitor.

If it makes you feel any better, instead of paying for this I am going to "pirate" it. I have a vinyl printer (for printing decals like that) and I am going to be loading that image in adobe illustrator, tracing out the design, blowing it up to a size I like, and cutting it on my vinyl printer. This will essentially…

I think there's still the mental distinction of actually receiving something more than digital bits. People are more OK with spending money if they feel they're getting something physical in return.

"...It is not a comfortable seat ser. Aerys cut the farts so often men took to calling him King Flatus, and Maegor the Cruel was murdered in that chair after he refused to flush. By that chair, to hear some tell it. It is not a seat where a man can shit at ease. Ofttimes I wonder why my brothers wanted it so…
