Re: Feminism general thread

The onion occasionally falls into Poe territory, but generally they're pretty good about hitting the "absurd to the point of actual parody" side of the line, in my experience.

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

Yup. Gertsmann's firing spawned GiantBomb, no? -m Edit: to answer your second question, for a number of reasons, including the fact that gertsmann's departure from Gamespot wasn't confirmed to be a termination over K&L until 5 years later; oh and also that story didn't involve a woman for the In...

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

I always thought of the term "gamer" as something that was cooked up in an advertising meeting. There are so many types of games that attract so many different kinds of people that lumping them into one heading seemed like assuming shared characteristics between country fans and metalhead...

flakaffe, it is abundantly clear that no one is interested in addressing your "points", so if you no longer care to continue this discussion, I would encourage you to not.

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

If you found someone in your ranks who was committing harassment or issuing threats, either because that was the goal or in a moment of weakness, I hope you would tell them that that behavior is unacceptable. I think that's the least we can ask from any movement. There are definitely people within ...

Also, every major site I can think of already distinguishes between review / preview / op-ed / and news.

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

Corruption is corruption, no matter the amount. All that had to be done to avoid all of this, or at least delayed it until the next major controversy, was to take the journalist, make him make a public apology, and tell people they will be reviewing their ethics policy. The Escapist actually got an...

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

Okay. fair enough. Sleeping with your boss is professional misconduct. That's another thing she admits to in those logs. Sleeping with your boss might be professional misconduct. But you're still going to have to do better than that to hit newsworthiness. Did one of them break the law?An acrimoniou...

No I haven't. One relates to professional conduct, one doesn't. That's the distinction. I've made it repeatedly.

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

Fair enough. What about the other thing I posted? Where her boyfriend asked her is she had sex with him without his consent and she admitted to it? Seems like that would be newsworthy, but that never showed up in the news, did it? Why would it be newsworthy among gaming sites? it has absolutely shi...

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

Just to be clear, you just said it was okay to shut down a forum who was expressing opinions you disagree with and that one of the higher ranking employees of the site claimed we were actually discussing things in a civil manner? Just to be clear, what I said, is that there is nothing wrong with te...

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

So, ganging up on Greg Tito and repeatedly telling him to delete the forum, that wasn't "...nobody can be out of step with us, or there's a big problem.""? Considering that the people arguing with Greg over whether or not the Escapist forums should have continued to host the gamergat...

"But dismiss that all other press reports were practically identical to Greyson's article." Gee, it's almost like we're accusing them of colluding. If only we had some sort of evidence that they were doing something like that. Like a mailing list, or something. A mailing list that shows n...

But you didn't answer my question. Really big "IF", isn't it still possible we are being mislabeled by the very institution we are calling corrupt? No. GG is not attacking a singular institution. Responses among the institutions under attack have been varied. The most severe casualties of...

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

IF GG is not a movement that is misogyinst at the core (and that's a REAL damn big "if")

Then it is none the less misguided, dysfunctional, and doing real harm to the industry.

You are right- VJ was created with the intent of providing her to TFYC.

It had been a while since I had read the origin.

Re: What is Adam Baldwin thinking?

Gamergate are defending the status quo. Upending it is always the harder fight, as they hold the more easily defended position.

That they win some battles doesn't mean they'll win the war.
