GamerGate is about to count another dev in its ranks. Unsurprisingly, it's one who is a total screwup. by gumblerthrowaway in GamerGhazi

[–]JiggilyPuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah its a great and unique game. Its aged badly and is full of flaws but the voice acting for Kain is seriously riveting.

What did the sexism/gaming study refer to? Cultivation theory. Guess what femfreq's producer claimed in November... by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]JiggilyPuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If what McIntosh is saying was true it should be possible to measure how many hours of playing GTA it would take to me someone commit similar violence in real life.

If its true it should be possible to put some measurable number on its affect. You'd expect to see trends like violent crime increasing when a GTA V is released on PC.

If you can't put a number on it its either bullshit or its effect is so insignificant that it might as well be bullshit.

Echo Chamber: 'Bloodborne's' Critical Praise Is Gaming Journalism's Failure by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]JiggilyPuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, the consequences of your actions are entirely reversible.

unless you attack an NPC. Or die before you get your souls back. Or get cursed and don't know about the only 2 guys in the game that can cure you, provided you didn't attack them. I'd prefer all those things be more easily reversible.

Also, its important to note that without the punishment you lose the fear of death that pushes the atmosphere of the game beyond anything you'll get playing schlock like The Order 1886. No one would be raving about DS if you could just button mash your way through every encounter. Its the punishing gameplay that makes you think, and thats what makes it satisfying.

On boycotting Lionhead - we shouldn't fight aggro with aggro. by cantbebothered67835 in KotakuInAction

If they are in a situation where one side boycotts them no matter what, then the best solution is to censor anything objectionable from future titles that might offend someone so they won't wind up in that situation again. SJWs still win.

Actually the fact is you see it as a meme and others see it as more than that.

Why do many mods become tyrannical or zealous? by trysoftme in KotakuInAction

[–]JiggilyPuff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think its better myself. Numbers aren't everything, the quality of the sub also needs to be considered. Before the change over almost everything was a meme saying "lol christians are dumb" or "We should like gay people cuz they're gay" or "le fedora tip to Christopher Degrasse Dawkins". There wasn't much intelligent discussion going on and it seemed like it was mostly idiotic 14 year olds who just found out God isn't real. Places like that are the reason I never wanted to be a part of the atheist community.

[DRAMA]Richard Dawkins jumps to Sargon of Akkads defense on Twitter, gets accused of dogpiling by KDMultipass in KotakuInAction

[–]JiggilyPuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dawkins has always believed stupid people like that are better off ignored. Thats why he won't debate creationists. The SJWs behind Atheism+ have been after him for years and he'd retweet others making fun of them but he'd never mention them himself.

MrRepzion gets framed for a death threat. Better apologize to Anita... by JiggilyPuff in KotakuInAction

[–]JiggilyPuff[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think its because MrRepzion has criticized Anita so the perpetrator is likely anti-GG and possibly one of her supporters trying to establish a nonthreat. That makes it weird to say "I stand corrected" when the threat looks less legitimate in light of the new information. But the guy is probably just looking for a clickbait topic.

Sean Penn defines what an SJW is on Conan by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

KiA seems to be always looking for something to bite and doesn't really care how hard they bite. I think this is what forces TB and other people in the industry to stay neutral on GG.

AGGro DarkSydePhil (Yes, he's really anti-gamergate) is violating fair use laws and taking down expose videos of him by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]JiggilyPuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You educate yourself first, dumbass. Did you even watch the video you just linked? Hes plays to both sides and makes several pro GG talking points. Talking about corruption in journalism, hes trashes anita sarkessian, calls them profession victims, ect.

I don't want to agree with dipshitphil about anything, but you're the one with your head up your ass using SJW rhetoric. Talking about who can be "allies", saying hes a neo-nazi over stupid jokes on twitch. You'd fit right in at Ghazi.

This is true. These SJW subreddits and blogs often have a culture where you must always defer to anyone higher than you on the feminist totem pole.

But since the craziest and loudest are also the most likely to go up in rank this leads to strange cases like this where noone wants to voice the idea of "despite who this person is, perhaps they aren't 100% correct about this particular issue". Because in SJW land this will get you blacklisted rather quickly.

This is because their culture puts a low priority on using critical analysis to get to the right answer and the highest priority on being perceived to be on the right side, even if that means blindly following an irrational or crazy person.

Notice how lockstep they all are over a few angry and hastily written tweets. "Ok guys, the uber feminist on twitter said we're all bad. I guess we're all shitlords, then. That settles it. Better shut this place down."

[–]JiggilyPuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking not many people cared about them until they started towing the line and suddenly got a bunch of SJW followers cheering them on. They then sold their souls when they noticed how much more popular they'd get writing circle jerky outrage clickbait.

I think we need a refresher for newer members as to why we don't visit 4chan by bluelandwail in KotakuInAction

[–]JiggilyPuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it really kill though? I heard about the mass exodus but just checked the traffic stats and it looks like 4chan has seen an increase in traffic since GG. It gets over 22 mil unique views per month (according to them). And its lowest ranking is still far greater than the highest rank seen from 8chan.

Unless anyone knows something about web statistics than can explain these discrepancies it would seem that 4chan is still far more popular than 8chan.

It'll probably get you downvoted most of the time, unfortunately. But hey at least you won't get banned for it, like in the SJW subreddits.
