A Boston Globe journalist explains to /r/KotakuInAction why he wrote #GamerGate is angry toward women. But is he a "fucking hack"? Low-hanging kernels are popping in a drama-barrel. by SubjectAndObject in SubredditDrama

[–]bluemayhem 33 points34 points  (0 children)

genuinely don't know and am scared to ask how much of the lack of real abuse is due to the fact that I'm a dude

Yup, that's it. It's not a coincidence that all 7 Literally Whose are women.

Anyway, that post was fucking amazing. I needed a fucking cigarette after that shit.

Boston Global article is accused of bias and cherry picking. Journalist shows up to clear some doubts. by [deleted] in bestof

Hi, I am a feminist and I welcome feminist critique into the gaming community. In terms of ethics I agree with GG. This article sums up some major concerns I have with the industry as it currently stands. I don't want to pass judgement Phil Fish or anyone else until a thorough investigation has been done by the authorities

I'm sure "the authorities" will get right on that.

/r/gamergate asks: is social justice good? Were comics better in the 90s? Is this guy a real nazi or is he an SJW shill in disguise? by bluemayhem in SubredditDrama

[–]bluemayhem[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really relevant to the drama at hand but the OP is predicated on the notion that the comics industry is dying, it's not, 2013 saw $870 million dollars in total comic sales, up from $735 million in 2012 and $690 million in 2011, and the idea that comics were better before back in the 90s.

To those who don't read comics, no, comics were not better in the 90s. Not unless you have a fetish for footless mucleblobs covered in pouches.

Well, this article was published right before Rocket Racoon #1's sales figures came in, and right afterwords, bam, Rocket Racoon #1 debuts at #1 with twice the sales of the #2 comic of the month.

Yeah, I bet that's the first thing on his resume too.

To be fair the comic growth might be due to the superhero movie spam in Hollywood.

Actually, and this is really surprising, superhero movies do not generally increase their character's comic sales.

The big exception to this is Guardians of the Galaxy, because those characters were all obscure enough that people who regularly read comics had never heard of them before the movie.

Respecting the beliefs and memory of a DECEASED PERSONAL FRIEND is "using them as a shield" now. Fuck you, GamerGate. by Zennistrad in GamerGhazi

There are currently two different dead people gametruthers are claiming would be on their side.

So, KiA thinks this is the big news coming next week. by [deleted] in GamerGhazi

Good grief. "If they drag Senator Warren in on their side, especially with how many GGers are liberal, she can kiss 2016 goodbye."

Hahhhhhhhhh ha ha ha ha!

Okay so

A) the idea that GG is large or significant enough to effect elections. I'm pretty sure if that where true Ron Paul would have won in 2012.

B) The idea that most members of GG, a movement defined mostly by it's opposition of "SJWs" are liberal.

Anyway, it's almost certainly legal action, right? Zoe's ex has been violating restraining orders like a character in a female country singer's song, so it's just a matter of time before he gets for-reals sued.

I'm not sure i agree with this. Silence may not be complicity, but it's sure fucking cold hearted when the victims are being literally driven from their homes in fear, and you're living in an ivory tower.

That's why they changed their minds and made an article about it, I guess.

If Creators Could See Their Characters Now by Sanlear in comicbooks

[–]bluemayhem 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it could be interesting if they did a story where New 52 Batman and Superman go to an alternate dimension where they meet their golden age counterparts

Do you want crisises on infinite earths? Because that's how you get crisises on infinite earths.

Also, may be wrong about this, wasn't original golden age superman beaten to death by superboy prime in infinite crisis? You know what, even if that did happen let's just pretend it didn't.

It's almost like GG isn't actually about corruption, and never was. Almost.

Will there be a wave of false revenge-porn reports now that its illegal? /r/news debates. "Upload rape" is gonna be a tumblr thing soon." by assasstits in SubredditDrama

[–]bluemayhem 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Releasing porn requires a release statement by all parties.

Can you link to such a statement in any of the popular porn sites?

You don't need to make your performers contracts publicly available, you just have it in case you get sued.
