Right, but it’s the after-the-fact nature of the action (when reaction against Blitzchung was so swift) that makes it smell of fresh diarrhea.

Three things here—for me, anyway (YMMV):

1.) This is a delayed punishment, and it seems like that delay was largely a function of Blizzard gauging the (almost entirely negative) reaction to their sanctioning of Blitzchung. When most of the complaints coming out about Blitzchung’s treatment included acknowledgment that…

...I really, really love how effective this statement is.  I may steal it for future use, just so you know.

Stabbing someone with an 8 inch knife and then pulling it back out 4 inches is not progress.

The soul of my wit is as a pale shade in the brilliance of your manifestation.

“The specific views expressed by blitzchung were NOT a factor in the decision we made,” wrote Brack. “I want to be clear: our relationships in China had no influence on our decision...”

Ultimately, everything is political. I forget who actually said it, but the aphorism that we do not have to take an interest in politics for politics to take an interest in us is absolutely true—and it’s of vital importance to the present situation.

More importantly, Acti-Blizz (and the NBA, and South Park) took a…

It’s a sad irony that the people most critical of all-girl gaming groups are the ones most complicit in fostering an environment that necessitates their existence.

The really sad part is that I do occasionally leave really obvious openings for said dunks—and they often get missed. I sometimes feel like the folks trying to pull a “gotcha” get so excited at the prospect of making me look like the buffoon that I am that they get ahead of themselves, trip over their own two feet,…

No one is owed a spot on anyone else’s platform. If the PA guys don’t like their politics (and good for them if they don’t, honestly) then they don’t have to put them on stage.

I suggest you see a doctor, cause you got a case of the “stupid af”s.

Thanks for this, Maddy. It’s stories like yours that will—hopefully—reach some of the folks who don’t understand why representation (and accurate/positive representation) matters so much.

The vast majority of protagonists in video games are straight white dudes. I don’t have to worry about whether or not my race, sex,…

Holy false fucking equivalence, Batman.

Next time you are running a multi billion dollar company, you can run it differently.... There is certainly no shortage of armchair CEOs who seem to think that it is easy to run a business this big and could do a much better job, never lay a person off and be loved by the masses. All the while they toil away with…

How about SCRUM - hardcore survival game? Game could have a really whiny NPC as a product owner that would get super passive aggressive during retrospectives. How many sprints can you take before reverting back to anarchy?
