DOJ |OT| SUMMIT NOW SUMMIT NOW

[benjipwns]

It’s still bad now with online gaming, hell just look at the amount if harassment women receive during online gaming sessions. Or gamergate, which is pure concentrated evil.

yes, that kind of defeatist attitude towards this is very harmful. We need to make so the racists realise they can’t get away with propagating hate everywhere they go.

Getting fed up of addressing this point. I said in the very first post this not a new phenomenon. The difference now is the racists are very visible, highly organised and emboldened by the current political climate.

Difference is back then we didn’t have social media or YouTube, the internet has changed a lot over the last two decades.

[benjipwns]

Early/mid 2000s internet was the best. Used to visit a dozen forums and no one ever talked about anything other than the forum's subject.

[benjipwns]

People jumping in with their 'it's always been like this' hot take are being disingenuous af. OP never said racism wasn't a thing on the internet, and you are kidding yourself if you think it was anywhere close to what it is now in those old days. Now it is organized, profited off, and spread far and wide by humongous social media machines like Google, Facebook and Youtube. It's also being peddled by cult of personality internet celebrities that every child knows and loves. Nothing like Gamergate ever happened before.

OP so isn't suggesting that "racism is new" but that racists have become emboldened, louder and are better at spreading their message through social media. And the OP is 100% correct on this.

You're correct that racism was already here and it will indeed remain after Trump, but this administration and the groundswell of alt-right is absolutely making it louder and more prominent.

This isn't normal. It hasn't always been like this. People think that it's worse because it is. Because racism has more protection and more allies than it has in a long time.

My take on this...The internet was so much better before broadband

I'm starting to wonder if the dark, irreverent humor that seemed to be so prevalent in my experience on the internet in the 2000s wasn't really that but a smokescreen to normalize hatred, racism, and hostility.

I mean, after all, can we say that sort of 4chan humor of the 2000s is any different than the actual den of alt-right influence that exists on the site and similar boards today?

yep, these are former NeoGAF.com members alright

no you can’t. If you’re playing this game you’re actively condoning homophobia and transphobia. But keep telling yourself otherwise.

Trump won't be able to resist saying something about the London mayor.

Not obsessed...not at all.

Fake vest or not, you can't take the chance and let a blast shockwave, shrapnel and even chemicals take out and injure many more people. The suicide vest in Manchester was real and it killed 22 and injured 59.

It's neither, the creator confirmed the game was built by himself in C++ rather than any pre-made engine. This said, though it is a game and he's playing the game, he didn't really make it a game that others can play, to quote him on this:


To any indie game developers: wouldn't it be so much easier if you didn't have to worry about the player at all? So much work eliminated, not to mention stress. Make a fake game.

I'm sure if he were to right now release the game he's made it wouldn't really be player friendly or work how it does in the narrative, but he has been making a game from scratch for the series rather than this being an animation or the like. It's also notable he made some older games before this, such as Nifty.

It is called Machinima, Dusk Golem.

Back when I was dating, I didn't find it hard to come up with an opener. Just comment on something in their picture or bio, maybe have an anecdote to share, just shows your interest and that you're not spamming the same one liners or greetings. Oh and leaving with a question so they have something to respond with. Ghosting is just part of dating life you have to accept and not take too personally.

How are your pictures? Could they do with improving?

The problem is... this is like seeing a pricing mistake/very good offer and saying you're not gonna take it because you think of the retailer. Like... loopholes should be closed, that's the thing. But as long as they exist, use them. Why wouldn't you want to keep your money when there's no safety net in the US is beyond me.
