Hmm, either I am now remarkably tolerant or I stopped being a connoisseur of gaming whine and moved to a lesser form. One is unlikely and the other is disturbing.

Phil Fish is gone for good? Amen!


He's gone for good...again. Like a leaky toilet, I'm sure he'll return to stinking things up soon enough.

On a somewhat similar note...

Believing that women even need white knighting in the 21st century is backwards and sexist to begin with - I'm pretty sure that a grown-ass woman can fend for herself in this day and age. White knighting only reinforces the stereotype that women are a weaker sex that requires constant protection.

That's the great irony, isn't it? Same with the "cultural appropriation" hullabaloo.

"I don't like different cultures intermingling and interacting... but YOU are the racist."

Disclaimer: I just got up and didn't do my morning rituals yet, so the following might be even more bitter than usual.

I pride myself on being a heterosexual male and a great partner for my heterosexual girlfriend, we could be the poster couple for Cisscum Magazine. ;O;

Oh, so she is a neckbearded basement dweller, too? *duck and cover*

Nah, it seems you misunderstand. All oppressed groups (be it now or sometimes in the past) have the right to get some time in the oppressive role now, because "Eye for an Eye". That's why PoC are allowed to keep white slaves, Muslims are allowed to do their holy crusades and statements like "Die cishets!" and #killallmen are A-OK.

And as those oppressed usually are believed to be quite undereducated they need white nights to tell them of those revenge oppression rights, just like ambulance chasing lawyers tell you how much money you can make.

Intel's dropped Gamasutra due to the "shifts in editorial posturing."

Looks like we've got another rising figure in the pro-censorship, pro-corruption group: Alex Lifschitz



His full, crazy-town-banana-pants speech, if you're interested.

By the way, you know how he's promoting and praising Depression Quest in his speech? Well, guess who he's now dating?

I missed out on the gamasutra stuff, I shall have to find out what they did.

However I am more upset but the appalling language being used by our new friend bkifft
"insert your choos, engender here" indeed...

What filth, how can we aim to rise above those we aim to cover when we allow such things here.

IIRC they published the first "Gamers are over" article (written by the lovely Leigh Alexander who does in no way whatsoever behave like a bitch and never has). Also I believe they hosted the "I will defend every woman on the field of honor, choose your weapon" piece.

I humbly ask for ex_culpation for my my not up_standing behavior, but I'm st_ill a hu_man after all. I'd even be w_illing to let you/yis/squirrel educ_ate me in not triggering langu_age.

As a sign of good faith I'll even don_ate a few choos: "Choo choo"

None of that is photoshopped, by the way.

I know the "We're just bloggers, so we don't standards!" argument is the go-to defense for these people, but honestly, that's just an insult to bloggers at this point.
