You must create the biggest shitstorm the forums have ever seen, what do you do?

[Josh123914]

The idea of this thread is to create a situation where there is maximum disagreement between forum members, complete desolation of unrelated threads, generally the most distilled anger you can create.

I would do something that would put two existing messes into a moshpit.
E.g, Having March Mayhem take place in Religion & Politics subforum,.
(This is a joke thread, post what you want...)

Cause someone to die in a horrible accident, say "They didn't deserve it, but" then bring up their stance on GG or Sarkeesian.

I laughed my ass off.

I came up with another one; Have Anita Sarkeesian review the Mass Effect 3 Ending.

This headline.

"ROCKSTAR GAMES HIRES SARKEESIAN AS SENSITIVITY CONSULTANT FOR GTA VI
'She has a lot of good points,' says game's head producer Zoe Quinn"

(Sorry for stealing your idea, MarsAtlas, but I prefer to regard it as "pulling a Shakespeare.")

Spread rumours that Anita Sarkeesian is to head the development of the next Grand Theft Auto.

This would be an improvement. I'd get to drive around a freeform simulation of a city without being distracted by Rockstar's stupid attempts at humor every 10 seconds.

GAMERGATE KILLED ANITA SARKEESIAN
(We have Shitty evidence to Support this)

 

[RJ 17]

Make a topic with the following title:

"The Bible Says I Should Hate Bi-Racial Transgendered Homosexuals, So I Do."

And in your OP mention something about how women are worthless and toss in an Anita rape-threat.

That should do it.

Create the biggest shitstorm ever on the Escapist? Easy.

Tell 'em Yahtzee's been fired.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Oh, say that the Obama administration is looking into Australia's stance on game restrictions.

(And maybe gun control and healthcare and education and compulsory preferential voting and...)

Create the biggest shitstorm ever on the Escapist? Easy.

Tell 'em Yahtzee's been fired.

People tried that a while ago, didn't work that well.

"Framerates Above 30FPS are Sexist, new Study Shows"

"Anita Sarkeesian is a transgender woman now. Defends Mass Effect 3 ending and calls gamers and gamergate supporters privileged and entitled homophobic rapist harassers."

Create the biggest shitstorm ever on the Escapist? Easy.

Tell 'em Yahtzee's been fired.

Maybe. Though perhaps claiming Anita to be going after Yahtzee could possibly be even more effective.

Hmmm...this has possibilities.

People tried that a while ago, didn't work that well.

How about this one? Any better?

That does have possibilities, yes.

Especially since, on about page 3, this will be shown to be wrong, but most people won't bother reading that far before getting in on the rant, and it will have taken on a life of its own and the truth won't matter to many that know of it anyway.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Claim I was a black woman and post loads of awful stereotypical stuff. When everyone finds out I'm actually just some white guy, claim I'm transgender and transracial, then accuse all my attackers of just being bigoted haters in a tearful Youtube video.

"Feminist yoghurt is now to be mass-produced and replace dairy yoghurt: According to a recent study, the female vagina mucus contains 30 times as much nutrition as milk."

I feel disgusting just typing that...(And I still don't understand what it has to do with feminism.)

"SJW have now been elected world leaders and passed new laws: All insemination from here on out shall be artificial and all males shall get mandatory gender change surgery."

Also, something something SarkeesianQuinnGate...

After sales hit new heights, Apple buys up Steam, Sony, and Microsoft. "All subsequent game releases will be 'Free-to-Play' only," says Apple CEO. "That is what our customers want."

Jack Thompson successfully sues to cancel Shenmue 3 and the Final Fantasy 7 remake. Judge declares "It seems you were right all along. These games have no value whatsoever and their existence is harmful to society and unconstitutional." With newfound popularity, Mr. Thompson enters the campaign for US presidency.

Holy shit; GTA IV looks amazing without that crappy Rockstar filter on it.

New copyright law passed worldwide requires customers to pay for the privilege of reading or watching game reviews. "We work hard to make these games and customer satisfaction should not be a factor in our annual profits," says EA CEO.

It definitely has to be something relating to GG, for any serious effect. Maybe combine GG with a link to some news article about a drunk student being accused of rape.

That should make for a great combo, if you can type a convincing piece tying the article to pro-GG.

Good luck Josh!
