No, but he clearly was jumping on a fad not to appear sexist and overcompensating.
Sounds like someone who has done some sexist shit and is overcompensating in the hopes that no one will ever find out about it or call him out on it. That's usually how that story ends.

I dunno calling your audience bigots seems pretty hateful to me. Or is it only hate when it's a topic SJW's don't like?
Yep. The whole audience. Every single gamer. Nary an adjective to be found, just the whole lot. They made a gaming channel for the sole reason that they just hate gamers. Reasonable take right there. Totally justifies the harrassment.

I don't really like digging into pointing these men out tbh because it's a can of worms that I don't want to touch. But there are a lot of effeminent men, who get into the whole feminism thing because they think if they play the "ally" then that girl they like will finally sleep with them. I had a couple friends in the Navy that tried that shit with female crewmates and it never worked out. Playing the "ally" with women who hate men will not help your chances of them sleeping with you, it's barking up the wrong tree in a major way.
The fuck are you on about? I was talking about video games and framing mobs you put down and general reactions to that, not digging into that specific guy's deal. It's the gender equivalent to "I don't care how many people die, but don't like it when they kill the dog/cat", and you've spun it into some weird begging for sex thing and brought up an anecdote about random people in the Navy
And you see it a lot in these movements. How many times have you seen these social movement leaders that end up with a bunch of shady dirty laundry aired about them? Because a lot of them are using the movement for clot and social points, not because they actually give a shit about it or believe in it.
"People I don't like don't genuinely hold beliefs"
I think it's hard go through life and have a perfect social credit score, and these people want to play thought police because if you've ever seen someone you don't know in public and thought they were hot that makes you a sexist. If you've ever thought that a certain group of people can't drive, you're racist. I doubt there is anyone on this forum or anywhere who has not had thoughts that if anyone knew about they would be chastized about them, at least in this new socially stunted world of hate.
Fucking Christ dude, log off and de-stress

Also, anyone throwing around that 'standing up for equel rights won't make women want to sleep with you' BS is either extremely juvenile or extremely shallow. I hope for them its the former so they can atleast eventually grow out of it.

I can't take any of those names seriously and they all sound like douchebags. Which is why I'm not touching any of them. They're not worth the time listening or watching for information. They all clearly like masturbating to the sound of their own voices.

Weren't most of them around when Zack Snyder came in and pretty much said 'you guys kinda suck'? I know YoungRippa's dumb ass was there.

I do not know and I do not care. I'm glad Zack called out on their bull, but I have no investment with him either.

So I saw that Frosk "rant" "meltdown" whatever you want to call it and am I doing something wrong in not feeling personally attacked by it. Like I know the kind of assclowns she is talking about and if you feel attacked by that then well that is on you.

Like can we cut it with the they hate their audience crap cause I don't want to get roped in with your anger and seething. If that rant made cause anger for you and others speak for yourself just please do that. To add to that am I less of a gamer because I didn't get peeved at a woman calling out dumbasses in the group on their shit.

Also, anyone throwing around that 'standing up for equel rights won't make women want to sleep with you' BS is either extremely juvenile or extremely shallow. I hope for them its the former so they can atleast eventually grow out of it.
I have seen that used on both ends of the spectrum and I just shake my head.

Not that I care much for G4 TV, but I certainly don't care for the asshats that have these constant "G4 hates gamers or G4 is dead crap". I don't know much about the lady either, but even if she comes from insecurity, she's not wrong. Women still tend to get worse hate messages than men when it comes to videos on video games. That's really not an opinion. I guess you forgot about all the crap that happened in the 2010s. I personally have no need for G4, because there's plenty of content already that does what they do but better or more interesting. I highly doubt they're going to go away for a while, but I don't care either way.

Adam Sessler I still like to an extent, but I lost a lot of respect for him during the God of War Ascension video review in 2013. It came off as hypocritical and jumping on the bandwagon. You clearly didn't have a problem with God of War back then in your G4 TV or X-Play days. Why do you have a problem now that he's beating up a woman that's trying to kill him? Where the hell were you when he killed all those innocent people in God of War 2 and 3? But the moment Kratos is fighting female villains that are trying to kill him and work for Aries, you all of the sudden have a problem now.
I'm reminded of that one reviewer who accused MK 11 of encouraging violence against women, despite the fact that the men are far from safe from brutality in that game. There is certainly a narrative choice in that game I'd call sexist, but that isn't it.

Who the hell is the name of the reviewer? First time I've heard of such silly criticism, but not surprising. This person must be stuck in the SNES days of censorship.

Those certainly wouldn't be sources that strengthen anyone's position. All that's missing are the quartering and Geeks and Gamers.

Not sure what exactly happened to his mindset between Kratos feeding a helpless bare breasted maiden to a door mechanism in GoW3 for the trophy, “I wanted to, but I didn’t…” and the curb stomp in Ascension for “Bros before hoes”, but it would be interesting to hear his take on each now that the dust has settled, and God of War is a whole different beast. Actually I also kinda wonder what he thinks of the new one.

I don’t know where his head currently is at, or how much of it is his own opinion vs merely toeing the line. But really that was around the time when the whole push for more decency in gaming started IIRC. GoW has always sort of reveled in juvenile humor bits, but there’s always the final straw at some point.

Neither do I, it was just fun in that moment to see their god emperor shun them.
Those people worship Zack Snyder?

As an aside it’s really annoying when any of these agenda YouTubers have to capitalize words in the title like either they’re morons, or they think their audience is, or both.

From the story mode? It’s been a while but I’m curious where/who that was about, as an MK nerd mostly.

GoW3 was released during the tail end of the 2008 era of gaming windfall where pandering to the audience was more important than personal conscience

But that's thing, that final straw seems very arbitrary and convenient. Why start now though? You have all the time in the world back then, and that's what irritates me about people like that. Yeah, I know opinions change, but not that fast. Once again, the line is drawn at a guy defending himself from other villains that want to cause harm to him. If you draw a line there, but not when actual innocent people who can't defend themselves or are vaguely in the way are killed, then you lost my sympathy. People like that are full of shit.

Guessing it was a timing thing, like what @Gyrobot said above. Whatever ratio of personal vs professional feelings were involved between the two is anyone’s guess.
