Aww, you tiny precious little snowflake you!

GRRM didn’t do shit like that.

I think being stuck in a cell, strapped to a stone slab, underground somewhere, with the knowledge that death isn’t going to save her, and with Frankenmountain looming over her, I’d say that’s pretty horrific enough.

They’ll never crown her Queen. She’s too useless, and way too much in Littlefinger’s pocket. At best, she’ll marry Robin, while shagging Littlefinger, and take over the Vale.

A review that uses MovieBob to back up its points? Well, at least the bar is set waaaay low.

I see you have nothing to contribute. Shame.

Especially since the next two lines of dialog are quite clearly about Watergate. The judge shuffles to the side to hand Mario a bribe and immediately says: “Remember, you saw nothing,” which in itself has been used as a pop-culture punchline over the years aplenty.

Which part of that was a defense of anything except common sense? I didn’t deny harassment taking place, I didn’t deny Kotaku not having anything to do with handing out a review for sex, I simply pointed out that what you said (that the original post had any of that in it) was untrue, and that there’s a good reason…

Of course there were people that harassed her - it’s the internet. This is the same place that won’t go a day without someone making fun of another person due to anonymity. Heck, Gawker makes a living at it. None of that excuses the harassment. But when for example Quinn claimed that she was forced out of the…

It didn’t. The very first thing in Gjoni’s post was “don’t go harassing people,” and others far smarter than me have validly pointed out that an ex airing out their laundry is nothing new - it’s just now used as an example of prime evil because the person doing so was a guy. Was the post overtly long and whiney? Yes,…

You do know that just saying “you’re informed” doesn’t help anyone, right? Examples would be nice. Like, are you saying that a huge part of the GG controversy doesn’t have to do with the close knit ties between journalists and developers and marketers?

1) Sources, please. And GG was called that BY people like Sarkeesian and Quinn, when Quinn herself was under scrutiny for things like doxxing charity events and attacking others online. It didn’t help that their friends all belonged to gaming media, and began the whole “these guys are ALL misogynists” thing, despite…

1) Did not know about the 100 women thing, though that just raises questions why it’s used as a gender thing - seeing as everyone gets harassment on some level or another, and according to studies it’s men who get more from other men on a daily basis.

There’s a difference in using offensive language and just ordinarily talking. Using language that is known to offend means that you’re seeking out a reaction. Making a Watergate joke and having someone start yelling that it’s offensive because they’ve made it appear in completely different context in their head is…

1) It got one senator who was vying for more votes involved. Not congress. It DID get a huge amount of court cases though, each of which Quinn either lost, or dropped out of - despite being represented by a huge team of highly expensive lawyers.

Offense is never given, it’s always taken. Just because some people go around saying that everything offends them does not mean that others should apologize to them for perceived slights. That’s not how the world works.

If you’d read up a bit, you’d see that it really isn’t. Quinn just lied again by omitting the next two lines of dialog that make it expressly clear it’s a Watergate joke: https://twitter.com/klara_sjo/stat…

What did they exactly put her through? Cause last I read off a news site, she was in court over a first amendment issue where she was being represented by a huge team of lawyers that cost hundreds of thousands. This doesn’t exactly sound like a person who was having troubles with being heard.

Nintendo doesn’t know who Zoe Quinn is, and Nintendo doesn’t care. Occam’s Razor says it’s a Watergate joke, especially since the Fungi dance group have been in Mario games since 2001. This is not a controversy, it’s nobody trying to make themselves a thing by projecting problems to where there are none.

He’s in the social 1%.
