We Did It Escapists! :D

I hope I'm not the only one thinking this:

Spoiler

[HEADING=2]Who the feckers is Zoe Quinn?[/HEADING]​

Not that I want to find out. That's why I'm staying out the arguments.

I think a good way to commemorate it would be to screenshot the amount of replies in the thread when it finally comes to an end, and frame it somewhere. Maybe with the caption "Never forget..." Or more likely "Never again..."

It's complete garbage. I can't believe people are absolutely losing their minds over this for this long. Normally stuff like this dies at the end of the day, and it's entirely gone by next week.

Remember the TotalBiscuit debate when he was effortlessly censored because the game developer didn't want a negative review to be the most popular result for their game? I'd understand people getting bent out of shape for that, when censorship is used against criticism and there exists a system that allows that to happen so easily and undoing it took too much effort despite TotalBiscuit having so much evidence and manpower helping him undo it...

But we're talking about a Flash game getting boosted projections because of the game developer...

I think it's just being used as more fire against the so called "SJWs" though honestly, I don't have too much of a problem with that.

Yeah, because people who believe in social justice are dumb, amirite?

 

[Ten Foot Bunny]

Considering how some people are reacting to Zoë Quinn, I'd love to see their reactions to Zoë Mozert...

Oh, yes. That would be fun.

*evil grin*

You being sarcastic, bruv? I honestly can't tell, this is the Internet and sometimes people use the /s at the end of their post...

I've always felt these types of threads belong in Religion and Politics.

I thought these kinds of threads were the reason Kuliani made the sub forum in the first place...

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Every time I see that thread gaining more ground I die a little inside, and I'm surprised I'm not dead yet. :/

But anyways, yay? I guess?

I will say thank God for user groups, and alcohol. Mainly alcohol since every time I went in there to see what's going on I need to drink.

Boy you know something's up when the Religion and Politics board looks like a goddamn tea party compared to Off-Topic.

NOT THAT WE WANT THE THREAD TO RETURN OR ANYTHING. IT'S PERFECTLY FINE WHERE IT IS. THNX.

Oh come now.

Aren't you just a little peeved that an OT thread is stealing your thunder?

You people have a reputation to uphold here.

Spoiler: I am officially horrified! I feel slimed, dirty, and feel made vile used of..!!!

Where were you Daystar?!?!?!? Why haven't you derailed that thread?!?!?!?!? WHEN WE NEEDED YOU!!!!

I posture exceedingly well despite the fact that I suffer from lethal incontinence.

That's not a good enough excuse, man! Even if you added your vicious flatulence to your medical sufferings there's no excuse for you failing to break and derail a thread GONE UTTERLY MAD!!!

I'm fine with our reputation slipping a little Let the youngsters and all their fire and vim take the crown.

Captcha: be nice. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Good one, captcha, good one.

I think we can all agree that there's no need for SJW's, because men would have woken up one day, got together, and agreed that women should have the right to vote. Southerners would have gotten bored with treating black people like second-class citizens and passed civil rights. And any day now, religious people would have said God says it's OK for gay people to marry.

Either you're yanking my chain again with the sarcasm, or you're not brushed up with the Internet definition of SJWs. Still can't tell. Poe's law and all.

I can't say I blame ya - that place is a shitstorm beyond belief, though it has gotten noticeably better than it was a few days back. Unfortunately, I don't see you being able to actually avoid it, seeing as how you're a mod and all.

Good luck, Spider Lady. You got a bumpy ride ahead of you. XD

Yeah, I'm totally messing with you.

Edit: I thought it was obvious, but nowadays I can imagine someone saying that and being serious.

The only reason the thread is so popular is because it's mostly filled with new members who had no where else to talk about it. If you look at the thread, I think the majority of posters now are people who made their accounts just two days ago.

OT: We're doing silly stuff eh? Okay, feast your eyes and ears on one of the greatest works of fiction to ever be posted onto the internet:

Spoiler: High quality stuff in here!

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I've always felt these types of threads belong in Religion and Politics.

I agree because that's where the arguments go, but I disagree because what's political about game developers?

Yeah, I figured that out a bit after I posted that...

It didn't surprise me much when 4chins started deleting the threads, especially on places like /v/ and /b/, because 4chins has been getting strict lately about disallowing planning and discussion about in-progress raids. Surprises me that Reddit hasn't picked up the torch, regardless of whether or not someone in the main gaming subreddit started removing everything that breathes, because there is surely a subreddit out there that's become the hotspot of this shitfit.

It's weird. The Escapist is looked down upon by a lot of the Internet because everyone views it as bloated with adware, having a strange community, and being too heavily moderated. Our only redeeming features are Yahtzee and Sterling, and being the launching pads for other popular shows like Extra Credits and Doraleous and Associates. But I guess we've become the bastion against censorship for complaining about this one womyn.

I don't know how I feel about that.

 

[VanQ]

And we're currently 65 posts away from hitting the 5000 post mark.

What's the record for most posts in a single thread on this site?
How badly will the site explode when the mods forcefully shut down the thread?

Stay tuned folks, more after the break!

**SNIP**

Taco, have I ever told you how amazingly [sub]batshit crazy[/sub] awesome you are?
IL4Lyfe!

Anyway... good lord there's a lot of crap on one thread. I can't even bother to read past the first page without wanting to vomit and I've seen people's heads explode from .50cal rounds... no joke. Fuck me people, I mean seriously there's conversations and then there's a 4000+ reply thread that resembles -as I've put forth before- a trainwreck where the emergency crew decided to send in more trains at high speed to clean up the mess.
Hell even WWII Italy still had the trains running on time or something like that.

I know I know, I'm commenting on a comment thread about a post with way too many comments... commentception?

 

[lacktheknack]

Meh, takes too much to explain, so I'll let someone else do it for me:

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/18.858347.21289729

(btw, fun fact: As bad as ME3 was, no ME3 thread EVER got to 100 pages)

I kid, I kid. I know all about Zoe and her sexy misadventures.

I'm just a bit sad about the existence of that thread, so I gently poke fun at it via feigned disinterest. See how clever and subtle I am?

I'm SUPER clever and subtle.

Don't worry, I got it.

There's no physical way anyone could have missed that disaster of a thread.

OT: Merge the Quinnthread with the Illuminatithread.

I will die happy if this happens.
