So what would Anti be in that equation? The writers who made it terrible to begin with? Though I guess you're right, GamerGate is more more like the Tok'Ra then the SGC.Shanicus said:Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Gamergate is not the SGC. You are not Colonel Jack o'Niell. SGU would be a much better comparison, given the whole 'Started off terribly and is now only mildly atrocious' and 'Most of the cast suck complete ass except that one guy who is alright'. Fits way more than the SGC/SG-1 comparison, really.
And when a video game article is taken down from a website due to asinine bitching, that's a totally different thing, right?Mr Cwtchy said:Remember guys, they aren't trying to take away your video games. They just want more female representation in video games.
They say as a video game is *literally* pulled off the shelves due to asinine bitching.
You know, you and everyone else trying to all it hypocrisy have as of yet not fond a way to make "Insulting your core audience who are the sole reason you have a job" equate to "I don't like how this portrays women but have no problem with it doing the same for men".IceForce said:And when a video game article is taken down from a website due to asinine bitching, that's a totally different thing, right?Mr Cwtchy said:Remember guys, they aren't trying to take away your video games.

Oh I do love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.
They haven't since they won everything back in the 20th century. Like my grandmother always told me. If you give someone an inch they will abuse it and take a mile. We shouldn't of gave in back then and thus wouldn't of have the problem with feminists now.VincentX3 said:Feminism is such a fucking joke these days -_-
Seriously, they want equal rights, then they fucking complain when they get it.
They want more Women in video games, what happens? They complain and shit like this happens.
You know what, I'm done. All I see here is 40k worth of women that having nothing better to do and totally missed the fucking point of Feminism.
Especially for saying this about GTA, I mean seriously WTF? I guess they cant see all the other genders and races in this game can they?
Wake me up when Feminism get's back to fighting for something worthwhile and not QQ'ing over a fucking video game.

"The entire woman's right movement and everything they accomplished is bad because a few of them got two retailers in a single country to ban one of my video games!"Artaneius said:They haven't since they won everything back in the 20th century.

I'm saying that you used a false premise to go after these publications. Well, unless you think angry white males who believe violence equals power is the core base of gaming, but then you shouldn't even really feel insulted if that's true.Zontar said:How is it dishonest? You're saying we lied threw our teeth to get something which didn't have any direct connection to us pulled from existence when the articles where much more then that.
You're making excuses again.As for the company which reversed their stance, the only one I'm aware such a claim being made is Adobe, and that was because people misrepresented a statement of their condemning harassment as them reversing their stance despite still dropping their ads and the statement not actually supporting Anti due to there being more harassment from Anti then anyone save for trolls.
If you're going to parrot me, you should probably understand the content that's going on, first.I think the worst part of that is that you actually believe it's true and not that you actually said it.
It cracks me up that you're talking about "antis" as a movement.I have no idea what that acronym means honestly, but I have a feeling it's something stupid that isn't on par with GamerGhazi. Namely because I'd have herd an anti use it before now.
Like adding some actual truth.I'll admit it would need a few kinks worked out to work an an analogy
But isn't that the crux of the matter? When we do it, it's okay to push an agenda?Shanicus said:Remember, those letters were also advised to not include any reference to the Gamergate movement at all, to make it look like this wasn't an organized group trying to push their agenda onto corporations. Wait, wasn't one of the major complaints from GGers being the feminists forcing their evil SJW agenda onto Games Journalism?
In conspiracy theories, the CT is always the hero.Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Gamergate is not the SGC. You are not Colonel Jack o'Niell.
Yeah, how dare they react to video that wasn't available last year only now, rather than a year ago?AstaresPanda said:and where were all these "feminists" crying about all the overwhelming violance against ONLY WOMEN in GTA V when it came out the first time ?. They clearly have not played the game, or any other for that matter and are rehashing the same old bullshit grasping and straws. This just pisses me off.
Where it falls down is thus: Kotaku and all those other sites have significant and long-established userbases; userbases that actually enjoy reading and consuming the material posted on those sites.Zontar said:You know, you and everyone else trying to all it hypocrisy have as of yet not fond a way to make "Insulting your core audience who are the sole reason you have a job" equate to "I don't like how this portrays women but have no problem with it doing the same for men".IceForce said:And when a video game article is taken down from a website due to asinine bitching, that's a totally different thing, right?Mr Cwtchy said:Remember guys, they aren't trying to take away your video games.

Yes, and Wal-Mart is America, right? What Walmart does is the policy of the US government right?Reed Spacer said:Yeah, but this is Australia; they'll ban a game if a character swears too often.
Technically only ONE store, since they're both owned by the same company.Sassafrass said:*Reads comments*
Anywho, oh noes, two big stores in Australia aren't selling a game based on the complaints of their customers.
I guess Aussies who want to play GTA V will have to just go to another store and buy the game. I mean, it's not a country wide blanket ban on the game, it's literally two franchises/stores trying to score brownie points with the people who've complained about the game.
