who gives a shit about the woman?

it's about the community she hurt, not her other antics, not the blatant attention whoring, not the harassment she got for it

i don't even like wizardchan all that much, but having people ignore it in favor of sjw fuckery is exactly what the trolls you mention desire, and you're buying it into wholesale

to the point of giving her money, apparently. gj supporting bullies

I'm going to be the most morally objective person here. I'd make sweet love to her. I'd support her game. Both independently. I don't really care about this 'controversy' because I don't care about gaming 'media'.

I'm guessing you saw her NOODS?

Actually this is the first time I'd ever heard of who she was. Not all that interested. I just like the ridiculous-hairdye-of-the-week chicks.

Generating outrage and profiteering from it is a long proved way to gain money and fame. On the other hand, why not?

In this case, there is nothing worth being outraged about, and there is nothing worth supporting, so I'd say you're all getting exited over precisely nothing.

U mad though Something Evil? Are you part of the hate machine and now you've found something new to get mad about?

>Legitimately using hate machine.

"Aha! She's trying to get attention to make money from the attention she gets from all the harassment directed at her!"
Considering the furious censoring that seems to go on about discussions of the matter, yes.
Also, there was no harassment. Until actual proof of the first instance happening, it's an asspull.
Secondly, there's evidence she's blowing everything out of proportion, victimizing herself, going as far as faking attacks on her social media accounts.

The proof that it worked, twice in a row, and white knights like this have rallied around her, kissed her ass to the point of frenching her the long way around, and feed her publicity and revenue.


Although it's sorta legitimate thing that happens. Baiting people to be angry for more attention. At this level honestly I feel that, Morally, it's okay to profit off people who that obviously just really awful terrible people. Even if you do it on purpose.
I fully agree. At this point, I'm happy SJWs are funneling funds to such an obvious, borderline criminal hack.

Wait, what community has she hurt, and how? Because that's not what I've actually seen anyone talking about in this thread or any of the other places I've seen this crop up - it's always been about how shitty she is for <being a woman/being fat/being ugly/being greedy/seeking attention>, and while I'm completely unqualified to judge the veracity of any of those claims, it's certainly never been about the game or about a community. It's always been about her.

I'm legitimately curious, because I actually would like to know what the real problem here is, and what evidence people have (sources matter), because that sounds like a conversation that could be interesting. As it is, though, all anybody wants to talk about is the meta - they want to debate about the character of the debate, which is unproductive and uninteresting. Or they just want to sling shit. Unfortunately, while that's all anybody wants to talk about, I'm going to have to back the SJW people as being the least despicable people involved.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I suggest you guys start taking on the 10/10 reviews of all AAA games that don't deserve it, that's a bit more important to the "downfall" of modern gaming.


I was going to mention the 'hurt community' comment but, to be honest, I can only respond with sarcasm and flippancy. Sure. Very hurt by a game getting [maybe undue] attention and then idiots getting posts deleted. Oh boy that's a real modern struggle for MRA. That's why rabid SJWs even exist is because of idiocy like this.

Basically, she accused Wizardchan of being the perpetrators of the first bout of harassment, with fapping into her phone.

Sure, the images are heavily biased towards Wizardchan, but the evidence is still there.

But this thread drawing sjws like honey, it's likely factual data will be disregarded.

Meh. I'm just pissed about the whole 'she totally slept with the reviewer, guise!' And then when I search for the review, it's nowhere to be found. Has anybody else had better luck finding said review?

That's one of the most confused pieces of 'evidence' I've seen. I can't stop laughing at this. Bay12 isn't a MRA soundboard. Don't expect it to be.

Still curious where all your outrage is for all the AAA games that get 9.5-10/10 reviews despite not being that quality.

The wizardchan thread or the bay12 thread?

I think you'll find the latter has a far higher "stop bringing this shit to bay12" contingent.

Ain't no one wanna deal with SJWs or MRAs here

You've discovered the real reason why everybody is so butthurt: a fact that somebody has managed to effectively censor the internet.

It was apparently a review parsing through over a dozen indie games and appraising them. Haven't bothered finding it myself, since at this point that's no longer the issue. Sure. Bribe. Prostitution. Whatever. That's on her and the idiots' hats and for third parties to find reprehensible or not on their own terms. That's irrelevant.

What is relevant is the manipulation of public image, the self-victimization, and the disturbingly tight common front gaming media outlets have formed around her.

That's one of the most confused pieces of 'evidence' I've seen. I can't stop laughing at this.
Impressive, considering it took me 20+minutes to get through all the screencaps and commentary on that thing.

MRA soundboard
wat.

Not buying them?
