This is the disappointments list. The disgraceful embarrassment thread will come later.

You missed one.
Yeah, that's why I made that cheap shot about childishness, because it does feel like that to me. It's what kids do to challenge the adult's authority: find a perceived weak spot that proves the adult's supposed hypocrisy, as though you'll win everything you want for your brilliance, unaware that you don't really…
Exactly. You only have to look up and down these comments to see what would happen. Valve could give the best-argued, most perfect riposte to explain why they stock Postal but don't want to stock Hatred, and that wouldn't satisfy these people anyway. It would just lead to more "But whyyyyyyy?" and "Janey gets to go…
Some really uh.. special posts on the Hatred Greenlight page before it got taken down...
In comic book world if anyone is *not* in peak physical condition it's considered a notable character trait.
I agree on the Phoenix. Which is why I thought AvX was so god awful. They ALL know what the Phoenix is and what it does to you. They all saw what it did to one of the most powerful telepaths on Earth and treated Cyclops like he was fucking Hitler for his actions.
Asking for even-handedness about the complaint is a nonsense, though. People up and down these comments are making this point, and they might as well be saying, "Stupid feminazis! Don't they realise the depths this game plunges to in its hatred of everyone?" for all the sense they're making.
Rofl that's only for people with opinions. Cheating is merely frowned upon.
The first time I picked up a controller and turned on the Wii U version of Smash Bros., I felt relief. I was about…
Except that EVERY ADULT knows that "rape" also mean "sexual assault". It's not like an archaic word that nobody knows. You can't say "I'm gonna rape her" to a woman and believe this is acceptable.
I don't know. I don't think we should vilify anyone showing remorse.
Actually, it's about...
This isn't even a video, Leo. I'm used to videos having a certain structure and making a point and the structure of this wasn't even like a video and I didn't see the point being made at all, so I don't think it was really a video. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sultry-voice-ophobic. I have several friends with sultry…
Gamergate was originally an attack on someone for her relationship to someone who writes on Kotaku. Their subreddit is even called "Kotaku In Action".
People like him do not gain power from attention. They gain power from the ignorance of people. As long as nobody knew who he was, he was able to create fake accounts to create the illusion that he had an army of supporters. This allowed him to spam people he didn't like. If you believed this harassment came from a…
Can we name even one not-bad-or-totally-fucking-useless thing that Gamergate has produced thus far?
Um, the damsel in distress is a "classic story" because it is archaic and based on sexist stereotypes that once were taken at face value, but now need to be questioned and transformed instead of continuously perpetuated. Which, incidentally, is exactly what Sarkeesian's point is. Funny how that works!
ExistentialEgg: I disagree!
