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%.

And Universal is playing the long game, as more and more of their films are geared to appeal for Chinese markets, allowing for them to shoot products there and get a more stable foothold on the area. Just because there aren’t dollars available instantly, doesn’t mean that they don’t know how good the success of…

That’s not a “what if,” it’s fact based on what’s happening. Someone needs to get out more.

Riot is actually bleeding employees and players at the moment.

Not if the studios are building their own headquarters in China with deals in place. Maybe take your own advice next time and read what’s been written, you dolt.

In the news today: Tumblr being ridiculous.

Don’t you mean mainstream GAMING media? Because last I checked, it was people like Polygon and the Verge tweeting from E3 about how gamers are just violent and sexist people cause the floor show had guns and sexy people in it. Let’s face it, the media writes what the gaming media puts forward, and we can only blame…

With people like Anita Sarkeesian in this world, you bet your ass that Bethesda is going to do everything in their power to avoid unnecessary drama and hide the nudity as much as possible.

Aaaaand pre-order hype dead. One of the best things about the previous game was no season pass, and no stupid extra costs. Damn you, Ubisoft. You had to go ruin a good thing.

Seeing as GamerGate folks have been nothing if not consistent about praising good female characters in games, why would they suddenly get a kick out of making fun of one?

Uh, the Chinese market is booming, which is why all the major houses are opening up shop there. If anything, it’s the North American film market (especially Hollywood) that’s running scared right now because between audiences being divided by Netflix and HBO, and ridiculous thinkpiece-a-thons online about how…
