Guess what, sometimes something good happens to you and you want to celebrate with a family dinner at Olive Garden.

QuoteFYI, I found that tweet on /r/guildwars2 in the dedicated thread. It was pretty highly upvoted, so not too hard to miss and considering that was where this very drama started from in the first place, many others will have seen it too.Also, are you genuinely saying we're no longer allowed to post public tweets older than X months old, particularly if they show someone in an unflattering light? Again, public forum my dude. If you don't want your past words to haunt you, then don't post them on the internet for everyone to see.Fine, "former child pornography site" then.

If you can't take the heat, don't browse child porn sites, as they say. Man this place really is Neogaf.
Everybody in this thread can see what hill you picked to build your camp on and we're pointing out that you chose a stupid place to die.
Seems to be a milkshake duck in the making?
When dealing with the GG tactics of like amassing a massive fucking rap sheet of a persons perceived transgressions for use across multiple platforms. Yes "just happened to stumble upon this tweet from last year" is FUCKING CREEPY.

QuoteIf I had just spent a while writing up a detailed explanation of my design process & then someone responded with a 4-tweet message that starts off by saying my approach has problems, then proceeds to explain my motivation to me (and gets it wrong because they completely misread everything I just wrote), and then suggests we do the exact opposite of what we're doing and presents a very common technique as if we've never heard of it, well, I'm going to be annoyed even if the tweets in questions aren't swearing at me. If I've had a bad day or have a history of receiving similar tweets, annoyed could easily turn to angry. If only somebody told him how bad Cosmic Star Heroine actually is and that its actually an insult to JRPG's of the 90s, if only.

GrizzNKev is one CREEPY looking mother fucker. God damn. If I was a woman and he approached me in a bar, I'd get my rape whistle at the ready. He looks like he'd want to make a suit out of my skin.

Black people can be racist too, as my prior post history shows.The idea that you can only be racist if you wield institutional power is false and poisonous.

I remember in the 90’s, and maybe this is the due to the fact I was young then but not that young, the mantra was “everyone can be racist and you shouldn’t judge people by the color of their skin.” But now people say all white people are racist.

Not only does it make the "other side" (I use quotations because I think seeing them as sides are exactly why we are in this situation) understand you even LESS, but it dilutes and weakens your own argument because you are never challenged, never learn how to peacefully extol your ideas.

Meanwhile it's been over 5 years since BLM started and no one knows what plans BLM has. What has BLM accomplished in these 5-6 years? Jack shit. Why? Because they have decided they don't want a seat at the table to begin with. Why have things gotten even more divisive? Because one side has decided that it's not worth discussing.This is why it's good to look at both sides and see what you think they're right or wrong about.The left is wrong about abortion.

There’s no fucking dialogue with the right. Most of them at this point are primarily motivated with “owning the libs” and will quite happily trot out any number of fucking lacking in mental fortitude talking points that they themselves don’t believe, but which are particularly infuriating to the libs.The examples over the last few years are too numerous to get into, but see Biden Rule, Locker Room Talk, Intent Is Not Required Under the Statute, Exchange Established by the State, or like dozens of others. They’re fucking trolls.

https://www.resetera.com/posts/10302722/QuoteAs I've said elsewhere in the thread, the Kamiya comparison is not to ask whether or not he should be fired (because he obviously won't be), but rather why everybody loves it when he dunks on fools on Twitter but is up in arms when Price does it. There are several possibilities:1. Kamiya's targets "deserve" to be made fun of, and Price's target didn't2. Kamiya is okay because he's being funny while Price was more direct3. There's a major double standard when men use insulting language versus when women do itI think it's mostly number 3 mixed with some of numbers 1 and 2; if Price was dunking on some dude who totally deserved it, there'd still be at least a small faction of players calling for her head anyway (see also: the GG-led campaign against her when she was first hired), while men often don't seem to find it acceptable when women use insulting humor instead of directness, so if she had dismissed her target with a joke or comedy bit, people would still be angry.The reality is that it's a double standard. Kamiya is cool and funny because he doesn't take anybody's shit on Twitter but we don't extend that standard to Price because women don't get that privilege. Women must smile and nod at all times and cannot ever show disrespect to their betters at any time, regardless of justification. Someone tell that fucker that JK Rowling exists and she has been throwing ether at idiots for a long time now and yet publishers still haven't let her go.

I didn't know who Chloe Bennet was ! She's fiiiiiiine.
Kamiya gets away with it because he's a "rock star" developer and a prominent, essential figure for his studio.That said there's merit to the argument that there's much less women in such a position and I would agree that if so they wouldn't have so much latitude in being abrasive. In fact, I can probably name a handful of them and AFAIK none fit the profile while every star male designer seem egoistical / eccentric / belligerent.

She was an ass. She got slapped for being an ass. She got triggered thinking it was sexism when it was a disagreement/opinion and the game journalists circled the wagons to cry sexism for her.Sunrise, sunset. Why are we still talking about this?
