The debate was spur of the moment, thinking on his feet with no time to apply a coating of bullshit to his viewpoints. Here he had time to prepare and cover the nastier parts of his views with the appropriate doublespeak.

The problem is that their own ignorant rot is contagious, and if you let it fester untreated, you have an outbreak.

You.

This is really where I am sitting with the whole thing. He can clarify all he wants, but the fact is he demonstrated a lot of racist ideas. You can try and soften their impact but that is him just talking around what he said. He blatently said black people are more criminal across socioeconomic levels and when…

“Discrimination certainly exists but I do believe it goes all ways,” he said. As evidence of this, Jafari pointed to a sketch by Samantha Bee, where she jokingly blames white people for Trump’s election. “I suppose you could guess the reaction if Samantha Bee said black people ruined America for voting overwhelmingly…

“People looking at this think I’m some kind of explicit ethno-nationalist, but I’m not,”

Jon’s views aren’t based on real statistics, but from Breitbart bullshit. He argued that the most well off black person is still more violent and more likely to commit crimes than the worst off whites. Please don’t let him half-assedly backpedal from such a blatantly racist (and factually incorrect) statement.

The hell? What if they weren’t? I’m Canadian and have vacationed in Cali several times, and have *gasp* eaten in restaurants. As a non-local citizen.

Yeah, how dare Kotaku link this to GamerGate! Just because it was started by a guy with direct ties to GamerGate and GG has a LONG and well known history of harassment campaigns exactly like this!

Jumping in to stress, if there are those who wish to argue it, that this is not “criticism.” Criticism is measured and well considered. Criticism makes an argument. Criticism makes a case. Criticism comes from a position of good faith and respect.

The polar opposite extreme would be a group of women doxxing and threatening to rape video game developers for games they didn’t like, not a woman voicing her opinions on a youtube channel.

Okay, dude, the fact that you’re even placing a feminist critic - who you may or may not agree with, whatever - offering her critique of games and gaming culture as being in some sense equivalent to/’the other side’ of a group of people who go out of their way to ruin women’s lives is kinda f-ed up? Like, I’m not…

I mean, we did? Like, the way he actively supported a group of misogynist hate criminals was kinda a clear tip off, and anyone who continued to believe he was a decent dude after that was either ignorant of that connection - willfully or otherwise - or a Gator arsewipe themselves.

I’m amazed that some of these people are able to maintain in their heads that:

Not only is this despicable, it’s testament to how ignorant and stupid these cretins are. Bad animation can be the result of slow tools, unfriendly tech, limited staff resources, and countless other factors (including but not limited to the fact that getting human faces to feel “human” is really friggin’ hard). That’s…

Wow do I hate gamers like this. I know there are bad apples in every kind of hobby/fandom/whatever, but man oh man is this particular brand of bullshit getting way too common for my liking.

It’s actually much faster. I’ve never tried it with a sous vide machine, but those circulators at wine stores she’s talking about take around five minutes, where chilling from room temp in an ice bucket would take at least twenty in my experience. Ice buckets are good for keeping wine cold, but very inefficient for…

Last day of finals was December 16. Classes resumed on January 17. KU women played at home on December 11, 17, 21, and 29. Also on January 4, 15, 18, and 28. KU men played at home on December 10 and 17, and January 3, 7, 14 and 21. The witnesses were around Lawrence soon after the incident, not to mention plenty…

Yes, that’s what this article said. You nailed it.

Science will achieve legitimate “cold fusion” before Reddit becomes less toxic.
