Cerium was already setting up his own board before showergate and he wasn't even that well known on NeoGAF.
The fact that he was already preparing his own board allowed him to be first out of the gate and get ahead of other people who wanted to built a new community.

I dunno if Trump lies more, but his lies are more obvious, stupid and pointless.

When Clinton said he did not have sexual relations, he had wiggle room that he didn't stick his dick in her vag, he just frigged her off with a cigar while getting blown, then came on her tits.
when Bush said they weren't torturing prisoners, he had wiggle room that they brought in a scientist to determine exactly how many minutes of being waterboarded constitutes 'torture' then made sure they stopped 10 seconds before that number.

Most politicians under oath will say "not that I recall" or similar, so they have wiggle room that if they're caught red handed they can just claim they forgot they did it.

Trumps just like some fucking kid with his hand in the cookie jar and powdered sugar all over his face saying the dog did it

He lies more actually. A lot of fact checking people have made clear that he lies way more than any US president.

That graph clearly shows The Shoot was trending and popular before EPIC snatched it.

So to say Fortnite made it "popular" is wrong entirely. "more popular" you're technically correct.
But everyone wants to rob the value and worth of our creations until a corporation profits off of it, then its EPIC's god given right to take advantage of it.

Because "black + women" are hardly in games as it is.

Not trying to go alt-right here but this is bullshit. I can easily name 10 black women in games.

1. Sheva from Resident Evil
2. Nadine in Uncharted
3. Protag of In The Valley of the Gods
4. Protag in Assassin’s Creed Liberation
5. Rochelle from Left 4 Dead
6. Most of the women GTA: San Andreas
7. Shinobu in No More Heroes
8. Clementine in TWD
9. Protag in Remember Me
10. Hella fighting game characters
 

Now let’s try female middle eastern characters:

1. Ana (that’s if you consider Egypt as ME and not African)
2. Pharah
3. Elika from Prince of Persia

Ok so surely middle eastern males are better, right?

1. Altair
2. Prince of Persia
3. Shaheen in Tekken 7
4. Rashid in SF5

Ok how about South Asian women:

1. Symmetra in OW
2. Chloe from UC4

For men:

1. Dhalsim from Street Fighter

Why is there always such a fixation on black women specifically?

User Banned (5 Days): History of characterizing concerns surrounding inclusivity as insincere

Because the discussion is never made in good faith. Social media has made these types of discussions go from 'hey they do this to could improve' to 'they're being bigots for not doing this specific thing.'

Hell, in another Overwatch thread we had a poster try to bring up Genji and Hanzo's "racist accents" despite one VA being native Japanese and the other being Japanese American.

It's just become exhausting to have these conversations when people are so quick to go straight for the throat. I don't blame those who are upset over representation, what they feel are their real feelings. I just don't feel like the conversation will ever lead to anything better than "let's drag these people for this thing."

Because they don't want black women in this game and are doing their best to shroud their disdain for anything black by painting a want for an unrepresented character as an insult to the people who work on the game.

if you're all experts then explain how am i supposed to feel immersed in the game world of "Overwatch is set sixty years into the future of a fictionalized Earth, thirty years after the resolution of the "Omnic Crisis". The Omnic Crisis began when the omniums started producing a series of lethal, hostile robots, which turned against humankind. The UN passed the Petras Act, which dismantled Overwatch and forbade any Overwatch-type activity. Overwatch is set six years after the Petras Act; without Overwatch, corporations have started to take over, fighting and terrorism have broken out in parts of the globe, and there are signs of a second Omnic Crisis occurring in Russia. A former member of Overwatch, the intelligent gorilla Winston, decides to begin reforming Overwatch to protect the peace once again despite the Petras Act, with the team members recruiting old friends and gaining new allies in their fight" and be able to enjoy it if there is not someone sharing two genetic characteristics with me to play as?

Blizzard should just make black skins for every character, that way the REE/Twitter mob gets their representation and Blizzard gets to charge idiots for it.

Of course they would not be happy about it and there would be insufferable threads about digital blackface, how it isn’t canon and doesn’t count and how they are paywalling someone’s racial identity

two years ago: http://www.rajanzed.org/hindus-urge-removal-of-devi-portrayal-from-video-game-overwatch/
Quote
Hindus are urging Blizzard Entertainment to withdraw Devi (Goddess) skin of Symmetra character in its Overwatch video game, calling it inappropriate.

Skins are said to be alternate appearances that players can apply to characters in video games.

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada today, urged Irvine (California) headquartered Blizzard Entertainment CEO Michael Morhaime and its parent Santa Monica (California) based Activision Blizzard’s CEO Bobby Kotick to withdraw the Devi skin in the video game, as it trivialized Hinduism’s highly revered goddesses.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, said that in a video game set-up, the player controlled the movements of Devi, while in reality the devotees put the destinies of themselves in the hands of their goddesses.

Moreover, Devi and its movements depicted in Overwatch did not match with characterization of the goddesses in the scriptures, Rajan Zed noted.

Zed stated that Blizzard Entertainment needed to follow its own “core values” which included “lead responsibly” (As one of the world’s leading game companies, we’re committed to making ethical decisions), as in this case it was creating confusion in the minds of community about Devi by misrepresentation.

Rajan Zed indicated that reimagining Hindu scriptures, symbols, concepts and deities for commercial or other agenda was not okay as it created confusion. Controlling and manipulating Devi with a joystick/ button/keyboard/mouse was denigration. Devi was meant to be worshipped in temples and home shrines and not to be reduced to just a “character” in a video game to be used in combat in the virtual battleground.

Zed further said that Hindus were for free speech as much as anybody else if not more.

It's fine to want a female black character but RE has to turn this again into some victimhood campaign about how "of course the black women are ignored" seemingly not caring that far more ignored ethnicities have found representation.

I'll point the finger at Lucio. I love this boy to death. Blizzard stumbled into making a black revolutionary (yes, he's fucking black) who managed to overthrow a totalitarian regime oppressing his people and didn't get either assassinated, locked up, had a bounty put on him, or maligned by white people for it like every other black soul braver than I has experienced. There is a starry-eyed, fable-esque bent to his background that is refreshing in not just gaming but media as a whole, and that's before you get to his charitable personality. As far as I'm concerned, Lucio is my personal Superman, something for me to aspire to be.

...

One also cannot get a little uncomfortable with how fantastical his story is and the reality that was Bolsonaro's election and the embracing of right-wing fascism in Brazil we just witnessed.

Overwatch is great for representation. But it is not perfect, and arguably can never be, and I will directly quote Lindsay Ellis from her Pocahontas video as to why:

"The legacy of colonialism is baked into every facet of every culture on the planet."

The authenticity and quality of representation will always be murky and debatable because the lens with which we view representation of minorities in works not directly made by those people will inherently be made in a context built upon cultural norms that accept white supremacy as a status quo. In that vain, representation is not necessarily a concrete goal, an objective number or concept with which you can target with precision. It is an on-going process, one mechanism among many with which we use to help bang out the kinks of society. You don't ever nail it. You simply get better at it as society continues the march towards a world in which European colonialism is a horror of the past.
yeah, but what about the ramifications of Overwatch's role in putting down the Omnic Crisis and what it says about rights for non-biological intelligences and their attempts to combat a world that allows human supremacy and human colonialism?

Yep. The lack of allies that black women have is saddening. Always last and having to ask to exist.
this must be that ethnic cleansing happening that ERA was talking about on the day after the US election
