If I so much as suspect that I see you on PSN or Steam in a game because of a similar username, I will treat you to the biggest ownage of your entire sad little life. You will be spawn camped. You will be combo juggled. You will be left with no other recourse other than to tell your mom to unplug the internet.

Consider this a warning, fucker.

WHY..... WHY would you post that collection thread, yes spending 55k in 8 years on anime is obscene, here I am self concious about my steam account creeping over 900 games in 15 years (go indie games!) and this dude probably has cel sheets of akira prints or something ( that all I know about anime is Akira and "state of the art, japanese animation" orion home video commericals ).

It would probably be a very good idea for the new EiC to write a press release explaining that the GG cancer is now removed from the staff entirely.

There is no way I would have gone to that site given its past and recent history, and I am definitely not the only one.

Someone telling me to check out something on the Escapist is the same as someone telling me to check out a post on Kotaku In Action.

Very true. Nick did put out a statement back in July when he took over:

https://www.escapistmagazine.com/v2/2019/07/29/editors-address/

Like I said, Pitts is out and everyone else who was even remotely like him. No GG bullshit will be tolerated on there in any way. I'm only saying that since there's new leadership and a new team, it's basically a new site retaining the same name. Anyway, again, it's fully understandable to have those feelings. But there's some clarification at least on my part.

Moviebob is pretty great. *shrugs

He is!

Yahtzee and MovieBob are still there, and create awesome content!

Yeah dude’s very progressive and slams on trump and alt right dudes all the time.

[benjipwns]

Nick defended gamergate and the likes of Colin Moroarty and Daniel Vavra. What is this post? I’ve always taken you as an opportunist and knew eventually you were going to get caught up in something that will possibly split your “friends” in your circle. A lot of your friends are reading this losing their fucking minds right now. Did you reach out to anyone else aside from Nick before making this decision?

You have a lot of friends trying to better the industry on their own terms. You tried to do it with your own site two years ago. Why were those not better choices?

You are just making yourself look worse. Maybe just leave the thread?

I had left the thread. Until someone quoted my post from 2 hours ago.

Here's the deal. Not everyone is going to just give a clean pass to an outlet that effectively hurt people's lives by being a breeding ground of doxxing and harassment of women and minorities. Fucking deal with it.

I find it very telling that Shinobi himself made a great post, where he recognizes people's issues with The Escapist and says he understands where people are coming from, while on the other hand we have posters like you or Spyder trying to shame people into silence. Nah. Shinobi's post made me inquire into the recent changes at The Escapist and i was actually pleasantly surprised. Their forums are not a shitshow, at least on a first passing. I'm not visiting anytime soon until i see where its future lies, but at least there's now a possibility that maybe i will visit in the future. On the other hand, posts like yours have literally no value whatsoever and serve only in trying to shut down a valid position. For reasons.

Going to need some sources on this claim on this since several Google searches haven't produced anything for me.

Why are you airing out his friends business like this

And people say cancel culture doesn't exist.

The person who was responsible for making the Escapist into a shithole left.

Shinobi is an Era administrator so let's give this a chance before judging it as a horrible mistake.

Shinobi602 was/is one of my favorite GAF/ERA members, not for his leaks, but his constant positivity and hype that showed through all of the cynicism and hot takes that can be too much to bear on forums like these sometimes
Will definitely be giving this a watch

Mental health charity Take This co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Escapist Magazine Russ Pitts announced yesterday that he will be stepping down from all roles at the former and taking a hiatus from the latter following the publication of a controversial article and a series of comments made to developer Zoe Quinn on Twitter last week.

The article in question, since taken down, was written and published by Pitts on The Escapist and titled 'How Do We Finally Talk About Ethics?' In it, Pitts invoked Gamergate as a vehicle to discuss issues of ethics in the video game industry and journalism - a stance that Quinn criticized shortly after on Twitter. Quinn was a primary target for harassment during Gamergate, which began when an ex-partner of hers went public in gaming communities with various accusations of infidelity and corruption.

To her criticisms, Pitts responded on Twitter, "Sorry Zoe. I genuinely thought you'd probably be over this being all about you. I'll be sure to check in next time." The tweet set off a longer thread between the two during which Pitts said that while he was not on the side of GamerGate, he was not on Quinn's side either.

Since then, Pitts has published an open letter on Twitter apologizing for his statements and announcing his hiatus from The Escapist and Enthusiast Gaming for an undefined period of time, as well as his departure from Take This.

"Last week, in addressing a member of the greater games community, I used words that diminished her experience as a survivor of abuse and disrespected her astonishing and inspirational struggle," the letter reads. "My words hurt her. I hurt her. I hurt everyone who rightfully admires her for her resilience in the face of an unbelievable amount of suffering. I hurt those who look up to me as a leader in this community. I hurt those who believe in the work I am doing. I hurt my friends, my family, my team. I hurt you."

The Escapist was re-launched by Pitts with an acquisition by Enthusiast Gaming in July of last year alongside a pledge that the site would "leave politics at the door." That pledge drew particular attention given that The Escapist in its previous incarnation had been perhaps the largest site to take a pro-Gamergate editorial stance.

Elsewhere in his letter, Pitts said that he had been slowly stepping away from the day-to-day operations of Take This over the past few years and had moved into a mere advisory role, but announced he will resign entirely as chair of the charity's board and from the board in general.

In a statement confirming his resignation from the board, Take This reaffirmed its commitment to improving mental health in video game culture through its various initiatives.

"Our vision is a game community that recognizes the humanity and mental health of game creators and welcomes and supports those in the game community experiencing mental health challenges," the statement reads. "As an organization we will continue to further meaningful dialogue and address how we can all do better in choosing our words and supporting fellow gamers and diverse culture.

"In 2019, we will continue to be a helpful mental health force in streaming through our Ambassador program and with our AFK rooms, a quiet, non-stimulus refuge at all the major video game shows this year. With the support and partnership of many game companies, we will be unveiling many new initiatives in 2019, including games that support our message and best practices for game companies."

User Banned (1 week): peddling conspiracy theories

CNN probably pays the WH for stuff like this. They gotta make themselves look good.

Corporations kissing each other ass and supporting themselves. Fuck corporate media.

User Banned (5 days): inflammatory generalizations, history of infractions

Most americans are fat so they sweat a lot.

More seriously more effective AC and better building standards are a must. Even planting more trees and vegetations contribute to make temps lower.

User banned (duration pending): Trolling a community. Long history of repeated behavior.

The Destiny hivemind at it's finest.

Namecalling, harassing, attacking someone who brings concerns about their favorite toy. And of course spamming the mods en masse to make sure the hivemind is safe.

Afin, if you guys can't stand differents opinions (or lack of praise), and you feel the need to erase whoever is what you like, grow up. Internet forums are not for childish behaviour like yours.

User banned (2 weeks): Posting conspiracy theories, vilifying gaming journalism, junior phase account with previous infractions

after playing the Game i can say some reviews are unfair really

Wouldn’t really say unfair, just too many hidden agendas and vendettas in the industry.

User banned (duration pending): trolling a community, repeated other instances of trolling, account in junior phase

Sometimes I think we shouldn't base everything we think about a person  by what they say, meaning, "cracker".  Sometimes we say things we are sorry for.  Having said that, I do believe Brown is a narcissistic person and will continue to act out and become a problem for the Raiders. I eventually believe he will become such a problem that not a  team will touch him. .  I do believe the tolerant level of society (no thank you democrats, comunist), has changed the way we view the behavior of anyone and had bled over to the NFL.

I have no issue with collecting or spending large amounts on collecting. Crack on, whatever you love if you can afford it.

But I am gonna judge people for what they're collecting; in this case for me personally.....fucking Anime, ugh. A room filled with films and comics and figures and dolls heavily featuring scantily clad young girls with massive tits. Yeah, that's not for me.

As usual, Natalie Wynn continues to be an incessantly transphobic and enbyphobic trans person. We need to be normalizing asking for pronouns, not treating it like it's an awkward cringy thing. This was an extremely offensive statement but i am in no way surprised she made it. Backlash was absolutely deserved, but knowing Twitter people probably took it too far and went from reasonably upset to sending death threats. I am glad she's off Twitter now, though. Maybe she'll take the time to reflect and actually learn this time

Enbyphobia (also called exorsexism) is the irrational fear or hatred of those who do not identify as either male or female, but as a gender outside of the gender binary.

[Kunai With Chain]

The anime and figurine collecting is interesting though, it's fine when you are youngish and can find a gf who is into weeb shit but what happens as an adult if you are looking for a new relationship and your 50k worth of collection becomes a total turnoff for most people? Give up your collection you put so much time and money into or go scouring the anime conventions for girls like a total paedo?

[HaughtyFrank]

Many languages of the world solved this problem centuries ago by having pronouns that never had gender factored in, or simply did not have pronouns at all, forcing you to address someone by their name.

And for the people that speak these languages, the whole discussion over pronouns is colonialist privilege, since we wouldn’t have this issue were it not for European languages, primarily English, being enforced upon nations and peoples that didn’t have this issue in the first place; it’s a cage of the colonizer’s own making.

I wish I knew what seperated enbys from being a joke identity like Dolezal or furries. I was educated on trans issues in a way that focused on dysphoria as a terrible awful thing and the primary differentiator between attack helicopter memes and a legitimate issue that requires medical treatment.

Like...I guess I'm "truscum"? But even 5 years ago it seems like such a dysphoria based interpretation was the norm. Is it just because Dolezal had bad PR, and other than her we've moved to a free for all, "you're whatever identity you want" orgy?

[Cauliflower Of Love]

But beyond that little tangent, seems like the simple solution is call a person by their common name. Problem solved. Pronouns are kinda rude to use when the person you’re talking about it physically present anyways
