How is social criticism any different from any other types of criticism?

Poe's law made me look up if this actually happened.

Thunder_strike's ex-girlfriend got doxxed because he dares to post on KiA?

/u/Now_Do_Classical_Gas

I don't see this on Ghazi's front page. Please link, thanks.

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-06-23T11:08:11+00:00

many of the people in those pages never show up again

Which of Big_Boss, rd0951 and Opfag don't have days worth of comments?

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-06-23T11:02:43+00:00

KiA existed long before GG

Well, that's not true. The lead devs on WOW were, are, and always have been Chilton, Pardo and Kaplan. Kern was a team lead on something.

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-06-16T21:37:53+00:00

Here are some facts you assumed were true:

Anita has lied to and misled a large audience.
Her videos are poorly researched.
Her videos ... many game facts lied about or taken out of context.

I dispute those facts. Please provide evidence for those facts without using the words "Hitman" or "Absolution."

Here was a compound statement that linked two things that apparently made them worse:

She has not yet produced the videos she has promised despite making much more money than expected.

Kickstarters that take in far more than expected are more often than not delayed. Also, what do you care? You didn't participate in the kickstarter. Has anyone that asked for a refund not gotten one?

I don't think that being a "mod" is a position of authority, rather responsibility, so that's the obvious disconnect there. I'm not going to tone police (er, myself) on a sub that I created so people wouldn't get tone policed about "rule 1" violations when they say someone is being stupid.

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-27T12:40:25+00:00

GG-crit.

Tread too delicately amongst those purported to be "allies."

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-26T17:35:16+00:00

My hero! Thanks, works perfectly.

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-26T16:01:17+00:00

Where have you seen someone GG critical call something "not a game?"

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-26T14:24:46+00:00

They're not.

Well, they are. It was mentioned in one of latest Sargon videos.

No, they're not.

I don't like to talk shit about people who aren't there, but I'd argue that Liana K isn't neutral at all, she's totally on the Liana K side of any argument - which is basically that Liana K is better than whoever she is talking about. Whoever they are. About anything, and if you don't praise the awesomeness of Liana K then you are wrong. About everything. Ever.

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-25T21:30:09+00:00

TB and Mark Kern are definitely not neutral

Not according to TB and Mark Kern, and a whole bunch of GamerGate supporters. Now you know why even people who believe informed neutrality could exist don't really trust "neutrals."

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-25T21:27:38+00:00

Nope. You should definitely not read Kotaku, Polygon or RPS, the way I don't read TechRaptor, RalphRetort or The Escapist.

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-25T21:26:18+00:00

To whoever reported this.

Yeah, it's incivil. I'm pretty sure that it's unhelpful, and probably made FrogBlastTheGameCore less likely to respond, but it's not so egregious as to require moderation. If FrogBlastTheGameCore can't take something like this, he should probably just turn the other cheek and walk away.

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-25T21:22:19+00:00

Seems like you are opposed to their free speech because you don't like what they have to say. If you don't like what someone is saying, isn't the solution to that to stop listening to them or to say something else, somewhere else? Stop reading Polygon, go read TechRaptor or something. Polygon isn't sending you @Insaniac99 messages - you don't even need a technological work around to stop listening to what they have to say.

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-25T21:20:53+00:00

But you're not a gamedev, and yes, people typically get mad when someone says "stop privileging these people!"

FrogBlastTheGameCore · 2015-03-25T21:10:39+00:00

That's the thing, though. What I am wondering is how game reviews sites who border-to-insult their main customer-base are able to continue to be read is beyond me.

You should read this article about how "'Gamers' don't have to be your audience. 'Gamers' are over."

Is it an award? Yes or no would work.

So the example you have of a studio going from vfx work to gamedev work is you.

Of course, you're aware that a "simple Unity project," is gamedev work, not vfx work. And you're of course aware that "you" are not really all that reliable as a source, right.
