Reminds me of a recent episode of Game Grumps where-in they name-drop and start bashing on the person who wrote the guide they're using for Sonic Adventure DX. They ended up taking the video down and editing out all references to the guide's author's name, but apparently the damage had been done.
Despite the fact that the guide was written over a decade ago, people apparently flooded the poor bastard's email (which, obviously, is over a decade old as well). This actually prompted the author to go back to the guide he wrote in 2004 and update it with a single sentence: "The emeralds are in random locations, damnit!" referring to the fact that - when searching for the master emerald pieces as Knuckles - his guide pretty much just says "Yeah, they're somewhere out there, go find them."

He wasn't talking to Jim. He was condoning doxing to people whom he thinks deserve it.Caramel Frappe said:
Looks at face in comic...
Wait are you guys accusing the Autobots of doxing?!
Don't be racists, just because their 'robots in disguise' it doesn't make them inherently shady!

Could I please get a bit of context here? I'm a little out of loop and the 'joke' is just completely lost.
I used to really be a fan of Adam Sessler at one point especially when he was on X-Play. His reviews never really bothered me more so because I treated them as comedy than as a serious review. He has had some good ideas like getting rid of numbered reviews but over the past few years he has said some pretty stupid stuff including the doxing thing which I disagree with.RaikuFA said:
Its about a stealth game where some dude breaks into rich peoples houses in a dystopian future, records it and runs it as a tutorial on the internet or something for the supressed and downtrodden class to reenact... like a tutorial on how to be robin hood.Deathfish15 said:
Wich turns south rather fast when people get murdered left and right.
A somewhat heavy handed comment on the practice on doxxing it seems, i say heavy handed cause... no one has been murdered yet as a result of doxxing or even had their home broken in to. (internet "activists" are notorious cowards and rather resume to sending you "gifts" in the mail like knifes and syringes or try to call your employer claiming youre a pedophile in order to get you fired.. you know, shit they can get away with without having to show up in person or have their own identity revealed)
Is this in reference to some real-life doxxing incident? Or a game? I haven't played every game Grey and Corey have.
He and people like him are the reason we're going to be dealing with doxxing and other kinds of harassment as long as there's an internet.Bat Vader said:
When you allow an exception based on a subjective quality, such as it being 'deserved', it follows that assholes of any political or moral leaning have all the justification they need to continue with such tactics.
Whatever impressive moral contortionist feats they have to perform, anyone who harasses and doxxes probably feels justified in doing so.
They tell themselves that the target 'deserves' what they're getting.
Of course, they're as wrong as they could be, but with statements like the one from Sessler, there's a nice piece of validation for them.
I don't think he cares overly though, as to make such a statement he must also be making the assumption those validated by it are going after people he thinks deserve it.
Unfortunately as we've seen over the years another favored justification used to validate horrible acts is 'they do it, so I'll do it to them'.
Oh well.
Funny comic.
If we're riding a log flume into dystopia, might as well have a chuckle now and again.
Let's not forget to throw our arms in the air for the photo at the bottom.
I didn't think you were.Bat Vader said:
My inclination was that you didn't approve and linked for the benefit of others, rather than to support it.
What you read wasmy reaction to the words of the man than your own.
Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough in the post.
Wow. I hadn't actually watched the rest of that. Did he actually try to say that misandry doesn't exist and that MensRights isn't an actual legit movement? So the #killallmen and "male tears" responses to men having nearing the same rates of domestic abuse against them yet being arrested when they were the victim and also being victims of rape, that isn't misandry? What a shame. A bumbling idiot just like Steve Shives.CrossGuard said:
