As someone who completely missed gamergate because I had a real life and wasn’t extremely online back then, what is Pro-gg content on the Escapist? Also Jim Sterling left the escapist so he could make more money doing his own thing, and I don’t know how anyone could construe him as a SJW based on the way he talks and oh yeah also dresses like a loving Nazi

Sterling has scaled back some on his edginess and afaik doesn't dress like a nazi any more. But I still wouldn't classify him as an SJW in the, like, outrage culture sense or w/e. Always seemed like a p level headed dude to me.

I guess I’m just saying that if Yahtzee’s greatest crime was, uh, being friends with a pathetic ant-covered loser and not quitting his BANANAS cushy job where he gets paid to make fun of video games he plays and has enough time to write his books then I dont really see what the problem is.

Yahtzee's greatest crime is being really unfunny at everything he does, the most serious offense of all.

I like Yahtzee well enough, but he's always been super hit or miss. I haven't watched any of his stuff in years tho, so it could be much worse these days.

He's mellowed out a ton and is pretty critical of the gaming industry's issues with sexism (especially prominent once he settled into a decent relationship) outside of his ZP series, so bringing up that's he an abuser out of nowhere is pretty loving weird.

Weekly. Accompanied by an essay. The thing you had to do in school that was a lot of work.

esperterra posted:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/6049037/smallville-actress-allison-mack-sex-cult-nxivm-leader-sex-girl/ There was chatter a couple of weeks ago when the leader got popped that she was next in line, but that seemed to die down. Surely if the head of an organization like this goes down, that gives authorities just cause to further investigate the whole group, right?

As for the accusations against the poor Karl Templar [creative director at Interview magazine], I don’t believe a single word of it. A girl complained he tried to pull her pants down and he is instantly excommunicated from a profession that up until then had venerated him. Its unbelievable.

Knowing Deadpool, if they cut him out they'll probably do the Two And A Half Men thing and have the sequel describe him suffering a messy, horrific, painful death between movies followed by a snarky comment on how it's because the actor was a dick.

They should recast Weasel with a bunch of Reynold's friends, each of them for one scene wearing increasing worse wigs.

I vote have him killed off in a poorly put together scene using chopped up existing footage. The cheaper it looks, the better. It even fits with the silly fourth wall breaking tendency of the material.
