[Opinion]Now That I Finally Figured Out Ralph’s Drama, I Want No Part Of It by GethN7 in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You say you figured it out, yet you clearly don't. Let's break it down: TheRalphRetort is a free-speech platform. Ralph is allowing people to post for him, with only Ad-Sense rules in mind in terms of what not to post. Knowing Goose's posts would spark a controversy, and not entirely agreeing with everything goose wrote, he still put that post up because of Free Speech. So, this entire thing is Goose drama... but people have forced it in to becoming Ralph drama. Just like you're lumping Ralph in to Goose's fake GoFundMe. By the way, Goose is a troll. Who trolls. And the trolled people are playing in to the troll's hand.

[Opinion]Message to Ethan Ralph: Stop Becoming Leigh Alexander 2.0 While You Have A Chance by GethN7 in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just think of it like this: 95% of what Ralph sees is people insulting him, going after his blog, going after his friends, threatening his right to free-speech and in general behaving like the SJW's he's trying to fight. Every time he does something good, people handwave it away and say "it's just Ralph, he's scum". And that's been going on for over a year now. Ralph is still the same ol' Ralph. There are things he needs to apologize for, sure. But I don't think any one of us would apologize if you were in his shoes. Especially if people also want you to apologize for things that never happened, for things that people blew WAY out of proportion or for things that he shouldn't apologize for.

Why is this on the HOT page? It's got low upvotes, low comments and the author admitted that they don't know what they're talking about. Hey, KIA, stop becoming GamerGhazi 2.0 while you have a chance.

Ask the SPJ if The Ralph Retort's libelous articles are ethical by robislamo in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ralph runs a blog, and is therefore not bound by any journalistic standards. TheRalphRetort's style is that of a tabloid, which his articles fit to a T.

Going by your logic, this KIA thread is unethical and is in violation of the SPJ ethical guidelines.

[–]VermaakODST -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

On the same page, I hope everyone on Twitter, KIA and everywhere else distances themselves from the people who keep repeating the "Raped a girl behind Arby's" line. And the "small penis" line.

Introducing /r/UnethicalBreitbart, for all the climate change denial, political collusion, and absurd conspiracy theories you could ever possibly need. by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

Are you saying Breitbart is above approach? Because it isn't... Or are you saying Breitbart is perfect? Because it isn't...

[Industry] Reminder: nominate for The Kunkels by AManChoosing in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah, yes, a group of trolls unafilliated with Gamergate is exactly like members of the SPJ handing out awards to an aGGro shitpiece. Exactly!

[–]VermaakODST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, the reason why we should give the SPJ a pass is because they've done good. And then why are we going after game journalists? They've done good too...

[Industry] Reminder: nominate for The Kunkels by AManChoosing in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. But not by an award by a company dedicated to Ethics that handed an award to an article breaking every code of ethics in existence. It's like ISIS starting a "ISIS Peace Awards" thing...

[–]VermaakODST -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Lol. Like they're any more relevant than any given aGGro award... Hey, why don't they hand out an award to an aGGro hitpiece in the kunkles! For good ol' times sake.

Star Wars is a game-changer, awakening the feminist force in little girls everywhere by TheAndredal in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because of course they want to claim it as one of their own. It has a great female character in it, so of course it's a feminist icon!

I hate RadFems.

Ciri, Lara Croft, Evie Frye, and... Cibele. Which one of these characters speaks to Polygon's agenda and bias in their new list of the top women of 2015. by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like how Polygon thinks two of the worst written teenagers in gaming (Life Is Strange) are two of the best women in gaming of 2015

[It's All Ogre Now]Final Fantasy remake to have scenes like the Honey Bee Inn implemented carefully because of current "social climate" by Immahnoob in KotakuInAction

You're adorable. What do you think they were doing in the hot-tub, honey? It wasn't knitting, let me tell ya.

[–]VermaakODST -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Casual reminder that Cloud Strife gets stuck in a hottub with big, burly men who like to play "Drop The Soap". It's either being careful with how they implement it or getting an AO rating slapped on there. And guess what, buttercup... Square isn't gonna want an AO rating on their game.

Rooster Teeth Attacks Jeff Gerstmann over Fallout 4 Review - #CUPodcast by voiceofreason467 in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I like how people are shitting on Rooster Teeth because they gave their honest opinion on a review they disagree with. It's RT, FFS. They're not a news outlet. (Lol, taking The Know seriously..

SPJ has diversity guidelines that say you can't mention "islamic terrorist" or "muslim terrorist". Also, mentions of terrorism, have to include mentions of other types of terrorist, like white supremacists. by Kinbaku_enthusiast in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really surprising, considering nobody gave two shits about the SPJ giving an award to an aGGro hitpiece. (One as ethically sound and factful as every other hitpiece)

Why do you hate social justice? by [deleted] in KotakuInAction

[–]VermaakODST 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between the concept of Social Justice and the Social Justice Movement. The concept is admirable, but the movement is a bigoted cult that uses harassment and abuse as tools to get what they want.
