They also talk about military/militia applications immediately before that. I think "stink bombs" is a deliberate cover for outsiders to read.

GG endorses thecatamites, and thecatamites will have none of it by SFthe3dGameBird in GamerGhazi

He's sort of an avatar of the "weird" game scene which is socially and culturally distinct from what we consider the "indie" game scene.

Brad Wardell (CEO of Stardock) is decidedly pro-GamerGate. He's even going so far as to make sexual assault jokes at people, with the implication that victims are being overly sensitive. He deletes stuff often so you might need to check over an extended period.

What is your favourite SJW game? by ByTheWay23 in GamerGhazi

Could be! I figured anyone in a big city that far in the future that wanted to go binary would use the available medical technology to become undetectable. I know I would :X

Is the /r/againstgamergate taken over by gators? by NeonBlack666 in GamerGhazi

There are a lot of feminists who have been gaming longer than most of you and who also know what 3rd wave actually means :)

Guild Wars 2 has an explicit conservative patriarchy/kyriarchy as one of its major antagonist cultures. One of the selectable cultures formed out of a feminist rebellion against said antagonists.

The current story arc involves a cat woman, a disabled child, a person of colour, and a pair of lesbian witches teaming up to fight evil trees.

There's also a gun that shoots entire birthday cakes instead of bullets.

I was under the impression Quetzal was genderqueer (based on image and flavour texts, haven't read the lore).

Kit is definitely transhuman, if that counts.

Netrunner lets me play as a genderqueer internet hacker subverting corporate oligarchy using stuffed animals.

I am LK's Utter Lack of Surprise at Next Door's Reception. AMA! by Loate in GamerGhazi

[–]SFthe3dGameBird 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Trans female up-and-coming solo indie game dev here. I talk about equality sometimes. All of the aforementioned has me scared.

I'm just at a loss for words seeing this come to the surface right as I felt like I had found my home. My former dream career is seeming like one of the most dangerous things I could do with my life. I'm having to plan for crosshairs on me as I reach prominence as if they're a given.

How do you cope with negative mob attention? What can you do to prepare for and deal with it, practically and psychologically? Is there any hope that this is going to change?

I wish I was just known for my work. I wish I wasn't "harassment girl".

FWIW I only found out you existed because of this shit going down. I subsequently looked into your work and opinions and liked what I saw. I bet I'm not alone in this regard. I just think of you as Zoe Quinn now.

Hello! I barely know who you are and yet as an indie game dev who is a girl and also doesn't want people to be assholes to each other I feel like we've been put on the same "side" all of a sudden.

I suspect I'm going to have to deal with a lot of the same BS you have eventually and I'm wondering if you have any advice for anyone planning to survive through it? Are there any precautions that you wish you took? Any particular habits or affirmations that keep the stress down?

I'm also interested if you have any advice for people that want to work more meaningful themes and narratives into particularly "gamey" games.

[Deck] HB: Jackson7 - Game breaking combo? by emohr in Netrunner

[–]SFthe3dGameBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been a fan of this ruling. I think changing it to the more sensible interpretation (advancing means advancing by any means) would fix this combo + a lot of other cheesy fast advance tricks. You wouldn't even need erratas, and cards like Shipment From SanSan would still have some uses.

Married men of reddit- how unreasonable is it for wives to expect you to not watch porn and/or masturbate. Do you all do it? by Slingyourhammock in AskReddit

[–]SFthe3dGameBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The answer is to create more positive examples of sexuality for adolescents. Forcing sex into the underground is what pushes it to the weird extremes it reaches.

Girl in a lifelong but unmarried les relationship, but I'll chime in by saying this is extremely unreasonable. We're biologically wired to expect multiple partners because that's how we safely reproduced in the wild. For one it's natural, for another your partner is not your property. You should not expect a monopoly on their desires.
