    Jim Sterling leaves The Escapist

    Of course he's leaving, this place has become so toxic ibn the last few months it's amazing it's anything but whiny manchildren left by now. Good luck fouling your own well.

    The problems with the supposedly "unbiased" review

    ... which is why you should more than one review to see if the bad notes are shared by more than one person. If you all want bleating sheep parroting the same lines, you're doing the medium a lot of damage. Hell, you've already done the medium a lot of damage. Gamergate's resulted in the loss...

    BREAKING: Women of #GamerGate Make Breakthrough on HuffPo Live

    And the Tea Party sometimes trots out black supporters to prove how not racist they are. ... your point?

    Some people think I like calling games sexist. This just isn't true.

    The fact that your precious medium is stagnating like hell isn't helped by people like you pissing and howling every time someone wants to get it moving again.

    Do you think the Gaming Industries attitudes toward Gender issues are Top down or bottom up

    I agree with most people that it's both. I think it started with the developers, as pre-crash era gaming was not so dominantly male marketed, and as we moved into the playstation era the push came to appeal almost exclusively to boys, but right now we have enough entrenched defensive...

    Why espousing proper, basic internet security is not the same as "blaming the victim"

    They were being idiots for daring to take naked photos of themselves? Then you're an idiot for having money. Or a car. Or anything valuable at all, because ALL OF THESE CAN BE STOLEN AT ANY TIME. You know what would be helpful and no victim blaming? Asking the fragging companies who are...

    Tom and Jerry cartoons carry racism warning.

    I think you meant Tintin in the Congo, and I don't know how it is in the states, but in the UK it's sold in the adult history section with a warning on the cover 'Here be racist shit'. I mean, most bookstores stock Mein Kampf in the adult history section, so getting wibbly about Tintin seems...

    Tom and Jerry cartoons carry racism warning.

    Funny, when I used to watch the cartoons I thought the black woman owned the house and Tom. We never saw her white employers so I thought she was a rich homeowner who happened to be black. Mind you, I was watching them translated.

    Does this game exist?

    I seem to remember this mid 90s resource trading game that was underwater, and you were creature with your own submarine and you gathered and traded resources between various enclaves, and I remember you could buy depth charges? Does this ring any bells with people?

    Devin Faraci - Guy who called us terrorists

    I love that after days of hearing you all yammering how people getting death threats should grow a thicker skin, the moment someone writes an article saying that the gamers involved in criminal behaviour are ACTUALLY CRIMINALS, you all collectively shit your nappies and wave them around while...

    Rampant Police Brutality and Media censorship in Ferguson Missouri

    Aaaand there we have it. Go on, tell us more about 'the blacks', you forgot to mention how they want to raep teh white women and have smaller brains than the white folks and how slavery was a good thing really.

    Rampant Police Brutality and Media censorship in Ferguson Missouri

    Yes, with 'swelling on the side of his face', truely life threatening. I'm sure we'll hear of a poor police officer in hospital with severely kicked shins after he shot a six year old girl.

    Rampant Police Brutality and Media censorship in Ferguson Missouri

    Dude, if you were projected any harder we could use you for powerpoint presentations. There is no evidence for any of this save the provably wrong claims of a police department who desperately need to show themselves in the best light, and your demented ramblings on how 'your instincts' justify...

    How do you argue that you're not homophobic/racist/etc?

    Oh, man I did the same thing once. Made a really racist joke to an Asian friend and got a strip torn off for it. I'm kinda embarrassed just to think about it. My advice? Really consider how you looked from that person's pov, if possible apologise 'Oh wow, that came out wrong' or 'I'm sorry...

    Can we please stop it with the Tumblr hate?

    It's not the same as the norm, the norm is that people find each other attractive through appearance, and if you don't have that you will feel marginalised and strange, thus, labels are created so people can better understand who they are and meet other who feel the same, so feel more 'normal'...
