    The Escapist's General Manager and Adam Baldwin support GG, attack the entire political left

    Adam: In the educational programs, in elementary schools, in colleges, they teach a curriculum of being ?change agents.? They teach you to ?be the change you wish to see in the world.? So you get these game journalists, journalists in general, who want to change the world by invoking social...

    Poll: Somebody who I really like blocked me on Twitter. What should I do?

    Recently someone who I have been following on twitter has blocked me. I wasn't harassing him or being offensive, I just made a stupid comment that probably linked to too many other accounts and used a hashtag I shouldn't have used. The person has been getting harassed a great deal on twitter and...

    Whats with the Rock Paper shotgun hate?

    They stood up against gamergate and the attendant harassment. All they did was say that they were going to be inclusive, not tolerate harassment and analyze games from an artistic and subjective point of view. You can read what they said here...

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    Ok let me just start by saying that the vast majority of "abuse" perpetrated by our said has been made up out of whole cloth. Almost every single case of doxxing can be proved false. For instance, Devin Faraci "doxxed" a guy who's purported name was Winky Dinky and his email was...

    I'm not gonna admit either of those things. The vast majority of the gaming press and developers are on our side and at least as many gamers are on our side as yours. And btw every single time this has been covered in non gaming press (seriously though, how fucked up is it that you guys harassed...

    Representation: it doesn't need to have a "point"

    The thing is, it really is a small thing. All you're doing is changing someone's ethnicity or having a female character that's not there for somebody to fuck. It's the reaction to it that's huge.

    Representation: it doesn't need to have a "point"

    At least you're a mammal. Ever since Jaws people think that we're nothing more than bloodthirsty monsters. While we do devour the flesh of all who dare defy us, we have a soft side too. Hell, our skeletons are even made of cartilage!

    Representation: it doesn't need to have a "point"

    But as a Great White shark I'm already a white dude. Check your terrestrial privilege man.

    Representation: it doesn't need to have a "point"

    I completely agree. Honestly I'm shocked that these people think that you need an excuse to be anything other than a white heterosexual male.

    That's what I figured. These people think they're the "silent majority", and I doubt there has been a single group of people who thought that that really were a majority. These people think they're the victims of a vast conspiracy by the feminist illuminati. I wish I was kidding but take a look...

    Far Cry 4 to send one lucky contest winner to their death

    While we don't know how far up they'll be going the video says that the person who wins the contest will be the first person to ever play video games on mountain everest. Regardless of how far they go I still can't see this ending well at all.

    Far Cry 4 to send one lucky contest winner to their death

    This may be the most ridiculous reward for a contest I've ever seen. One lucky winner will get to climb mount everest [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsOg6HgDHiQ] to be the first person to play video games there. The "winner" gets to go hiking in the Himalayas, carrying a console specially...

    Like a gangster? Seriously? She's threatening to use social media against him, not break his knees. We have no idea what this guy has said and all she's doing is saying she'll give him bad press. The things she'll do to make an example out of him is just give press to things he'd already put up...

    Could somebody give me some links to these attacks? I know that they apparently got into a fight but all I've seen was Bob saying that he liked Boogie but was disappointed in him.

    Demonization of Moviebob and other Escapist Staff

    Because they allowed discussion of this #gamergate bullshit. Everybody who wanted to talk about how feminists and "SJWs" are the friggin illuminati and out to destroy gaming flocked here because it is one of the only places that allows people to talk about this, and the other sights banned...
