All politicians get death threats, frequently. And it’s incorrect to call SWATTing a GG tactic, since there isn’t a single instance of GG doing it.

But in this case it’s true. There are no incidents of SWATTING that GG has taken credit for, nor is there any evidence tying them to it.

Why is it surprising that innocent people take offense to being blamed for terrible crimes? And why shouldn’t they have the opportunity to defend themselves?

Does it surprise you that people take offense to being blamed for heinous crimes?

How can SWATting be a “well established tactic of GGers” if there is literally no evidence tying SWATing to GG? Most people in GG support the proposed anti-SWATing laws.

Minor correction here, the “source” was a series of facebook chatlogs in which Quinn admitted to having 5 affairs. Her ex verified their authenticity by posting a video of himself logging into his facebook account and browsing through the same chatlogs.

Well, there’s a couple of errors here. Firstly, the Zoepost made no mention of reviews of any sort. Second, Grayson published multiple articles featuring Zoe Quinn and Depression Quest, even going back to his work at Rock Paper Shotgun (this was before the game was finished).

That doesn’t seem like a real quote.

A lot of these cosplayers also do it semi-professionally, as they often get paid to model or make costumes. Which is besides the point, the main issue is Kotaku’s hypcrisy of drawing eyeballs and money using sexualized women after criticizing another company for doing the same

Wait, so models doing their job don’t have agency?

Tell me again, why is it okay for Kotaku to make money off sexy characters, but not Konami?

Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about ficitonal characters getting abused or manipulated since they’re not real. Also, you realize that all characters are made to pander in different ways, right? They’re all created for the sole purpose of entertaining the audience.

Mika is actually based on typical Japanese female pro-wrestlers, of which this outfit is pretty par the course. GIS “Japanese female pro wrestlers”. Mika is based on an existing archetype, which is why she wears an outfit that would look weird in any other context. Like a karati gi. Or a sumo thong.

You’re basically…

This week’s backlash is a reminder of the strong social pressures that may slow League of Legends from actually diversifying itself.

I think people are more upset about having paid money for a skin, and then having the content they paid for being taken away.

Great! It’s good to know Australian feminists have failed in their mission to get it off all store shelves. Despite that, there are about 200 other games that have been effectively censored by the Australian government because they’ve been refused classification

What if I told you that most female gamers don’t follow game blogs or post in discussion forums? Neither do most male gamers. The majority have never even heard of “this topic”, and finds the idea of Mario being a piece of sexist media to be laughable on its face.

Economically? Majority is default in blockbuster movies. Latinos, blacks, gays, etc partake in mainstream culture as a matter of default. If I personally waited around to see a Mexican character accurately portrayed in a movie or video game that didn’t resort to stereotyping or portraying me as an “other”, I’d…

and only when the state bans a work of art is considered censorship.

It’s pretty much why I boycotted every game based off of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. I don’t care if its a fantasy/historical epic set in ancient china, there’s too many Asians. And it’s crazy that we’d be expected to relate to people of a different skin color, where’s the white characters that *I* can connect with?
