I came out of the store five minutes ago and had to veer away from some nasty person sneezing, twice, into open air without covering.

I personally am not returning to normal life until a needle attached to a syringe that holds a vaccine pierces my arm. I don't trust the public, tbh, my example above being one practical example of why.

I think people are just gross in general. Like I can see why the virus spreads fast because you look at average people and it's like holy shit.

In fairness, Pixieking didn't say "Go back to Gaf," they said "Stop splitting your time between Gaf and Era," with the implication being that the person they quoted still goes to Gaf despite knowing why Era broke off from it... and, well, it doesn't look like they were wrong about that implication.

Interesting article, thankfully wasn't on the internet around this time but even by the mid to late 00s you could still see it. My first exposure to stuff like this were the early "comically vulgar" video game reviews that became really popular, the big ones being AVGN and Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, the latter especially revelled in "ironic" bigoted, sexist and "making fun of the politically correct" etc humour yet even to this day is still treated and respected highly in the industry, this f***er came up with the term "PC Master Race" (yay Nazi humour, what the gaming community needed more of /s) and before start trying to defend that like often happens:

While The Escapist continued to popularize the term's (or at least the term "Glorious PC Gaming Master Race") usage in later episodes for several years, writers in more mainstream computer-related and gaming-related publications tended to avoid using the term because of its negative associations, such as Nazism. In early 2015, Tyler Wilde, executive editor of PC Gamer, suggested the term should be abandoned altogether in an article titled "Let's stop calling ourselves the PC Master Race". "It worked as a hyperbolic joke when it was first said as a hyperbolic joke, and I did think it was a little funny to embrace the criticism ironically—for a moment, [but] when I see kids unironically boasting about their 'master race' affiliation on forums, I cringe." Tyler instead suggested replacing the term, and offered examples such as "Fearsome Keyboard People" and "PC Thunder Cats". The article was met by some disagreement from others who believed the term's usage was acceptable. While Ben Croshaw acknowledged the term's reference to and origins from Nazi Germany, he countered that those who use the term without knowing of the association can be viewed positively as a sign that those ideals and their historic Nazi associations had faded from the public mind. He also made a reference to attempts to incite the term's abandonment as being part of a sort of "thought police", criticizing Tyler Wilde's article.

Just a reminder you're defending a person thinks people NOT knowing history (because those who don''t learn from history are doomed to repeat it, screw that right!?!?!) and the meaning and the words they use IS A GOOD THING and unironically uses terms like Though Police... Yet people like him are STILL treat like gaming royalty....

On Erik Wolpaw and Chet Faliszek, have they ever been called out on their past behaviour or ever actually discussed regret for what they help fester because yes, their not guilty for creating gamergate, but are very guilty for encouraging it's early growth and giving that attitude a place where it could linger and grow, Something Awful is also very guilty of this as well.

That ain't true actually. Actually the infiltration of video game sites with nazi rhetoric can be traced back...to the late 90's infact.

Gamer gate and the nazi shit that followed is the result of decades of radicalization that happened even prior to the internet.

There are many, many, many JRPGs with young casts to choose from; if not P6, something else will be there to fill the "high school life" niche. Not every game should have to cater to the teen audience in the same way that not every game should have to cater to a male audience.

Not that I'd expect anyone posting on RE to get that, but:
"/u/Pedro19’s intent when creating this subreddit, back in early 2011, was to make it a home for PC Enthusiasts, a place where all of us could come in and share experiences, a place that didn't exist yet. The name’s choice was not entirely innocent as it was meant to grab a term that was used as an insult and make it our own (albeit getting rid of "gaming" in the title since the community’s purpose is not just gaming but everything PC), changing its meaning and re-appropriating it, in order to express the objective superiority of the PC."

I, too, am going to ditch products by these amazing writers for a thing that they did about 20 years ago. /s

People change and grow, folks, and so does humor and culture. I’m sure they’d probably cringe if you showed them those excerpts today too.

To me, people don't change. They just learn new ways to lie. Ergo, it's completely OK to judge a person based on their past mistakes.

So you're telling that in the past 10-20 years you yourself haven't changed one bit? You haven't gained any new perspectives that made you grow as a person? You haven't evolved one bit personality wise over time? I'm sorry but I find that just incredibly sad. It's such a negative and lethargic way of seeing the world and people.

I hope one day you do gain a new perspective on this and you realize that people aren't unchangeable rocks and that they do in fact can grow, change and become bettter people as they move through their lives. The opposite is obviously also possible.

I can't say I have. I've always been an extremely indolent person who thinks of everything as nuisances that I'm forced to put up with because of reasons.

Great show, had a lot of progressive views. This video shows how forward thinking Married with Children was, even compared to shows like The Golden Girls, in terms of gay themes.

To be fair Kotaku was already viewed as a joke on GAF (banned as a source at one point, even, IIRC ?) which isn't too surprising because that was a common opinion in every gamer community that most vidya press was low quality and Kotaku especially into chasing clicks (can't seem to locate that cartoon of the Kotaku office being staffed by... Dolphins ?).

GAFERA had a major mood swing after Gamergate*. The jokes and criticism were a lot more muted but never really went away... And I will agree with that ERA quote that it became really apparent in the constant lionization of J.Schreier which often was, by contrast, thinly veiled damning-with-faint-praise for the rest of Kotaku.

In typical ERA fashion : Lots of people didn't think any less about the failings of the gaming press but everyone behaves themselves and tries to keep that loud part quiet.
Still shines through in review threads and what not, it doesn't take a lot to have accusations flying.

* And after that Trump, Fake News stuff and the mawkish "Subscribe to the NYT, WaPo everyone !" sentiment.
