If I understand correctly:

1. Fish's company donates money to indie game competition.

2. Competition makes company a judge in the competition.

3. Company's game wins competion.

I'm not seeing any federal laws being broken here. Why would the FBI be investigating this at all?

If the FBI is actually investigating that (a big motherfucking "if" right there) they're probably just doing a cursory check to see if any of it actually qualifies as a crime or just :lol: Indie Gaming.

i'm awake now but at work, so I can't go through everything since I posted for a little while. probably be about 9pm gmt i get back. i already looked through some of it though and none of it even came close to what i asked for so I'm feeling pretty comfortable right now with my lovely hundred bucks. i'll go through it and explain why when I get back just so you don't think i've abandoned my toxx, but seriously you guys could do that yourselves if you liked instead of just not reading what was linked and assuming it was the knockout punch. seriously, one of the things people are telling me to pay up on wasn't even by nathan grayson

please continue to keep alternately accusing me of wanting to sleep with quinn, or being quinn, though.

I'm the first person to agree that there need to be more and better woman and minority characters in video games but the old minorities thread in Games was utterly amazing because if you tried to write a character according to what they didn't like you wouldn't even be able to write the paddle for Pong.

If you write a woman character to be different from a male character you're supporting stereotyping. If you write a woman character the same way you'd write a male character then you're just writing a man with tits and that's supporting stereotyping.

"Trigger" is a term that primarily applies to victims of sexual assault who experience PTSD. It's used loving flippantly here to mock "SJW"s. So again, the main method to mock people who think it sucks to poo poo on minorities is to call them an SJW, and the second most popular method is to mention triggering. It's a loving rape joke, and people think it's hilarious. It loving isn't.

Varva has become self-aware




You're right that there's no reason it should have been sexism in the case of ND and her, just saying she's also not someone who has had "no problems" in the industry whatsoever. Also would she say "nope sexism is over, I haven't had any problems since 2002" if you asked her? Probably not.



I get what you're saying but this is really kind of a pedantic point to make and nobody with a working brain has claimed that SEXISM IS OVER because Amy Hennig exists and is employed.

Ugh, I can't remember but it's on Encyclopedia Dramatica. I'm not surfing there at work, though. He posted a pro-gamergate article over the weekend and was told on Monday that his position as expert was being demoted. He then posted about it on twitter and how he had engineering credentials or whatever and his boss did a 180 and told him he could have his old classification back. It was one of those rags like Kotaku or Escapist or something.

It was gamesutra or whatever that site where all the actual game devs post is called. They stripped him of his title as some sort of internet games specialist because allegedly he hadn't worked on a game in a while. Then they said he could have it back because on further review he had worked on a game in a while.

Could be conspiracy, could be a legit admin fuckup with bad timing. The one sure thing about it is that I hate myself for actually remembering the details.

I could believe some people are that stupid, especially with the swatting that's been going on recently, but this sounds fake.

that's the main reason that I even entertain the idea that its fakeass bullshit

why the gently caress would Sarkeesian or the media (any media) sit on something like this for six months? it's a loving bomb threat made against a :lol: prominent feminist :lol:

(for :lol: read despairing laughter that either complaining about video games on YouTube is what it takes to be a prominent feminist these days, or that there really aren't any other more prominent feminists than Sarkeesian)
