Someone explain to madmad why calling everyone you disagree with a neckbeard is hilariously retarded.

GDCA Ambassador award sounds like it's a slight step up from Teen's choice award winning.

Also can't remember if it was joystiq or kotaku but read that there was a bomb threat in relation to her getting this award.

Everyday she is coming off more and more like Sarah Palin. Let's hope in a couple more months/years she's completely phased out from PoliticsGaming.

I fully expect a parody porn movie release to be her death knell. However her name leaves much to be desired for titling such a movie. Something like "Who's Blamin' Gaming?" or having a scene inside a 5 Guys?

no. you can't have a conversation with the type of people this "controversy" appeals to. on the one hand you have trolls, who are just in it for the lulz anyway and will shit up any attempt at real dialogue, and on the other you have the tumblanshees screeching about how you're literally worse than hitler.

I think we can have this conversation, we just have to start ignoring people like Mazmaz and try to ignore the Anita's/Zoes and call them on their bullshit using facts. We need to not react to insults like neckbeard, /v/irgins or basement dwellers etc and keep reiterating the truth of the matter. The issue with the SJW movement is that most of it is emotionally charged blather, which, over time probably puts a lot of stress on the person to keep them in that state of mind.

GaymerGate? Les flick? How Anita Got Her Dongle Back.

Dongleback Mountain

i guess i should have added that the only people capable of having a conversation like that generally don't need to.

right, like how there is no representation of misogyny or marketing towards men in movies or books or TV or everything else.

youtube videos about how games are evil misogyny machines does not erase the existence of the significant portion of games going back decades which either have strong female leads or to which gender is irrelevant (which SJWs would know about if they actually cared about gaming before they targeted it as a problem), nor does it create a demand for feminist video games.

I think it's important to recognize Anita for what she is: a PR racketeer. devs will support her career so they can say they're not part of the problem, and then they'll compare the sales of Gone Home versus GTA V and go make what they were going to make in the first place.

GTA6 is still gonna come out. You know why? Money speaks louder than Anita.

I had to look up what Gone Home is, and holy shit, I wouldnt play it if it were free.

Having said that, lets show Mazmaz how money talks:
http://www.joystiq.com/2014/02/06/go...most-on-steam/

Gone Home, the emotional exploration game from indie studio The Fullbright Company, has sold 250,000 copies, founder Steve Gaynor tells Joystiq. Roughly 80 percent of those sales were through Steam, he said, and 50,000 of them were in the first month.

Currently selling on Steam for 4.99, regular 19.99, and has sold as low as 2.99.

GTA 5:

'Grand Theft Auto 5' Has Sold Nearly $2 Billion

“Grand Theft Auto V was the best-selling console video game of 2013 in North America, Latin America and Europe combined. To date, Grand Theft Auto V has sold-in more than 33 million units.”

Take your pussified games and

Do you really think game dev's are going to leave BILLIONS of dollars on the table because a couple feminists are upset about what happens in their games?

Mid-Core: I play games regularly, favoring immersive games. I do not spend great lenths of time gaming and don’t spend a large amount of money on it. However if I would have more spare time I would probably spend more time and possibly money on games.

Casual: Although I enjoy games, my time spent or interest in them is limited. I mainly play games to pass the time and don’t invest a lot of money in them.

Who the heck came up with this? Lots of people won't fit in any of these categories.

**Tarage** · 2014-09-18 03:18

I hate Anita and I'm a developer. I just keep my fucking mouth shut when talking to other developers because I want to have a job.
