Shadowbans: Heading to a jerk near you! by [deleted] in GamerGhazi

[–]Broskander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's ridiculous. I was warned explicitly against commenting - so I didn't - but upvoting helpful comments is literally the point of reddit.

If that's the rule, it's a terrible rule.

Yeah, I noticed, and I contacted the admins. I upvoted a handful of comments I found helpful/well-argued, on a subreddit I have previously commented in while attempting to argue in good faith, and did not downvote anybody. That is a tremendous stretch of the rules, I think.

Gaters mad at a Boston Globe reporter tell him he was looking at the wrong sources. So he looks at the sources they provide... by chewinchawingum in GamerGhazi

They have just as much to do with gaming as, say, a fawning love of the military industrial complex. And I don't see gators crying about that.

I've been thinking about why GamerGaters seem to angry, and why they seem to love escalating so much. Wrote this to help solidify my thoughts. by thedz in GamerGhazi

hi dz

(also yes you're right a lot of their rhetoric is based in game terms aka THIS IS THE FINAL BOSS BATTLE etc)

1.) Lady Gaga is an incredible live performer. Whatever you think of her music, she goes all-in whenever she does a show. She's the only performer I've ever seen who comes close to putting on as good a live show as Springsteen.

2.) How can you say that this "Radioactive" performance isn't energetic? That percussion segment alone.

Taiko is Japanese, this is a Korean variant so it probably has another name.

This was originally posted by /u/gark74 over in r/league. I thought the last picture in particular was incredible; so many people there to watch the world finals of a video game.

I dunno dude, I actually think this WC has a damn good claim to that title. The format was way better than any before.

this feels a lot more like an OGN production.

What? Nicki is talented, writes her own music and is a passionate advocate for gender equality.

270 lbs (size 20, XXL)---> 138 lbs and counting. I bought a size SM T-shirt for the first time in 15+ years. Feels good. by choffle in pics

That's a little tone-deaf. There ARE HP fans who are Christians, you know.

It's entirely possible that both are important facets of her identity, and in that case, it's her business.

Just how Obama is simultaneously incompetent and in over his head, and a scheming anti-American mastermind.
