The main point here is cross-platform play between PC and console, which Microsoft don't allow. So SFV is not coming to Xbox the same reason as FF14, Microsoft's closed system policy.

Yeah, like — most of what Mags does is ostensibly to free his people from FUCKING GOVERNMENTS THAT HAVE CREATED LITERAL DEATH MACHINES WHOSE ONLY PURPOSE IS TO KILL HIS KIND.

Has anyone ever played a tabletop RPG with a GM who insisted that players roleplay out the seductions of the NPCs because they took role-play way too fucking seriously, leading you to have an awkward, icky ten minutes?

That is a surprisingly helpful and sourced wiki entry!

Hi Anna,

Do you think that the frat is owed an apology? I think that would be the first place to start given their entire existence was threatened.

Welcome to online identity journalism. As long as you are on the right "team", you can say anything and be as vicious as possible to those who don't agree. Even being wrong has reinforced the us vs them mentality. It's not about the author being wrong but about how the "other side" will use this to their advantage.

That was big of you to admit that name calling was uncalled for and that you were wrong- at the same time its pretty awesome that everyone was willing to crucify an entire group of people for an alleged crime committed by 9 people- its also pretty rad that you were at the front of the line with a billy club ready to…

Hi Anna.

So are you apologizing for being wrong or being completely out of line and encouraging people to blindly accept stories that lead to people potentially being harassed? Or perhaps, and hopefully, both?

I understand the desire to make changes, I am one of the first to hate on frat boy dude bros, but when I read that…

Correct. Unfortunately the world we live in with immediate and often ill informed outrage lends itself perfectly to these types of fuck ups. In this case, though, I think people assumed that RS would've done their due diligence.

The point of the Rolling Stone article? What point was that? They don't stand by the article. The whole thing has collapsed. The point is that a woman claimed a particularly gruesome and horrific gang rape occurred and people rushed to believe her — and denounce anyone who had questions — despite there was no evidence…

It would have been a great apology if she included "I won't rush to judgement on people who view a story with skepticism going forward."

I see this whole debacle as being very indicative of large, systemic problems with Jezebel at the moment. Gawker's mercenary, single-minded focus on page views is fine— it's a gossip site first and foremost and Sam Biddle and others have been quick to remind us all of that— but I think Jezebel has a serious identity…

Part of the problem is the McCarthyite way people asking obvious questions were treated. Jezebel called them "idiots." Amanda Marcotte called them the equivalent of Holocaust deniers, particularly offensive since the Holocaust is supported by incontrovertible evidence. Sorry, but the damage done here isn't so much by…

Quote Anna Merlan:

I suspect they will increase now that rape accusations are starting to actually get people punished.

This is really, really bad.

You were dead fucking wrong. I appreciate you saying as much, takes guts. But at the same time maybe from now on we can actually listen to people instead of bashing them because they offer a different viewpoint. Those "idiots" brought up legitimate viewpoints but you chose to ignore them because you didn't like the…

This is a tough one. I have to say this though - whenever anyone in the comments section even touches ever so slightly on possibly questioning anything about a rape victim's story - ANYTHING - they are roundly shouted down by most of the other commenters and labeled "victim-blamers". I think there's a general tone on…
