Ehh, I don't really like talking about myself, but if it'll help to humanize my side of the divide, I suppose I'll chime in. I've played video games since I was a wee lad. I gravitated naturally to them, being an introverted and socially anxious child who liked to tune out reality. The first...

Ehh, I went back and read what you wrote a little more closely and I suppose you're right. You didn't technically state your theory as fact. I apologize. I'm a little on-edge at the moment because certain people on the Escapist seem all-too-eager to find any excuse, no matter how flimsy, to...

If we're going to play the baseless speculations game, I'll raise you one. The hoax of the hoax was a hoax. It's a false false flag. The tryhard chanspeak was deliberately inserted to make everyone think 4chan was false-flagging itself. Of course, in reality, you have no idea why the crew...

...says the guy repeatedly shitposting in a thread about events he obviously has no stake in. Gr8 b8 m8, I r8 it 8/8 Mods, if I were you I'd lock this thread. OP's topic turned out to be a hoax, and if he wants to discuss that he can make a new thread cause there's sure as hell no one in here...

OT: Now that we know this whole thing was a hoax, is the thread over, or do any intellectual titans want to chime in on how above all this low-class 4chan hullabaloo they are? Because frankly, I'm pretty tired of seeing people shit-talk and make hasty assumptions about a community they aren't a...

>lol hay guise look at this fag >he actually cares about the last bastion of free speech on the internet >he think's he's part of a community whose old home is being sanitized and sold off >he thinks there's a concerted effort to censor and slander channers >he must be joking Okay. By...

Yeah, 8chan's /pol/ broke that story themselves after a lot of investigation and passed it on to any news agency they thought would cover it. Not that it was hard to figure out after that site started redirecting to that whole "#ShutDown4chan" page. They even made an infograph with evidence...

...and already, you don't seem to know who you're talking to. They sure can, if anyone wants to make jokes that are actually funny. The people on this board you're trying to address mostly don't identify with 4free anymore. We're exiles. Kind of like the Blood Elves. In fact...

Hello everyone! I've been lurking the Escapist since like, 2008. First for Yahtzee and then for Critical Intel. I also lurked the forums, so I recognize a lot of names and avatars even though no one here knows me. The reason I made an account, like many people here, is because my original...

The sentiment is the same in either case; you seem incapable of stepping into your opponent's shoes or even realizing that someone might have a different opinion. It is self-evident, in your mind, that capital-P Progress is just the bee's knees, and yet you have not defined what "progress" is...

The question in my mind is whether society has actually taken a good look at any of them before deciding to throw them into the proverbial "dustbin of history"; or whether, finding traditions that just so happen to conflict with their distorted view of what they think society is supposed to look...

>we have autocorrect now >this makes our society objectively better than any that came before it >I'm the simpleton I shiggy diggy don't. Apparently you're under the delusion that technological progress goes hand-in-hand with ideological progressivism. The truth is that technological and...

My fellow dark-skinned gentleman. You are of course, speaking of Chesterton's fence: "In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain...

I am frankly surprised to see so many of my fellow young men and women (on the Escapist, no less) advocating a return of traditional values. Warms my heart. I mean sure, we've got the revisionist history brigade out in force, with their "lel everything you think was good about the past was bad...
