I should apologize, the actual number is.2% of "Negative" comments out of 500k tweets was found in some analytics done earlier this year. This would be things that could fall under harassment, but not actual death threats. That's a pretty good Signal to Noise ratio if I was looking for one. These were tweets analyzed to be Mentioning a female opponent of GamerGate and using the hashtag as well. There have been plenty of other tweet analytics that show similar numbers to the one I previously listed. For a public figure (which she now is), that is actually an astonishingly great Signal to Noise ratio for tweets, especially considering she touts herself as a controversial figure.
Especially when all the person is doing is discussing something trivial like video game entertainments. I mean, who gives a fuck apart from dysfunctional twelve year olds?
I see this a lot. Its almost like people don't realize that the video games industry is the largest form of entertainment media in the world. So yeah, it is kind of a big deal. It may not be to you, but there is a ton of money generated by the industry.
Again, this is completely untrue. This has been debunked countless times.
Okay, so she gets favorable press from Nathan, thanks him in her game, then sleeps with him within a week timeframe of the article being published. Obviously there was a relationship of sorts there. Remember, Nathan did publicly say he slept with her, and she never denied it outright.
As for the rape by her own definition: 1) She had unprotected sex with Josh. 2) She had unprotected sex with Eron shortly there after. By having unprotected sex with someone else during their break period then having unprotected sex with him, that provided ground for his consent being revoked by having sex with him under false pretenses. Ergo rape. What happened to listening to the victims?
Which has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Though it should be noted that none of what you describe ever happened. No female developers slept with any journalists in exchange for favorable reviews. It was a lie from the start. A lie which you obviously believed.
Except nobody ever claimed that. She was sleeping with someone who gave her favorable coverage. She is also a rapist by her own definition - She had unprotected sex with someone else which violates her boyfriend's consent, ergo rape. For people who try to take the high ground, I find it amusing that everyone who defends Zoe Quinn and overlooks this part of her is basically a rape apologist. Way to side with the abuser.
You say the same thing as my dad, but I have a mechanic that can guess by the condition of your pistons and valves teh gas that you normally fill up with. He had a friend of his drop off her Civic Si with 120k miles on it for a service. He did a scope on the pistons to see how much crud was on them. This lady had virtual no carbon buildup. She had been filling her car with Shell Premium since she bought it. Anecdotal, I know, but I tend to get better pulls at the Dyno with Shell than when I was using Arco.
Because I'm lazy right now, lets just go back to the Hitman debacle. She goes off and says the room is there for you to basically kill the strippers and have your perverse fun with their dead bodies. Go google a quick Lets Play - Nobody does this. At all. The few people that even do take the path by the room, they avoid them completely, and just run by. If you even pay attention to the dialogue in that area, you would see that you are supposed to be sympathetic to the strippers plight (dealing with the 'vacation' one of them is taking), and showing how fucked up it can be to work in those situations.
Lets see, there was also the fact that she thinks that Bayonetta is her own mother and doesn't seem to understand how her suit works, or the fact it is made up of her own hair. Oh! Lets not forget that that one game (its name is escaping me) where she cried just viewing some game footage that its a Damsel in Distress trope, yet the female lead SAVES you from being eaten alive from zombies in the opening scene.
If you are not seeing the videos and posts that address the points she was making, you should know something that some people suffer from confirmation bias and really only look in their own echo chambers for information.
Am I saying that she doesn't receive harassment? No. Am I saying that most of threats she receives are non-credible? Yes. She gets the same flack that anyone does online, even if they are non-controversial. Welcome to being in the public spotlight. I don't agree with the harassment that people in the public spotlight get, but to say that this is purely because she is a woman or a feminist is disingenuous at best.
Yes, because saving a nickle a gallon sounds like a typical Porsche owner priority.
You would be surprised. I saw someone with a brand new Jaguar F-Type filling up at a local ARCO (basically the cheapest gas you can buy in Southern California). I cringed a bit as I was filling up my 93 Integra with Shell Premium. Some people buy really expensive cars and fill them with complete shit for gas.
I was just thinking this. I mean, if I could get a custom gauge cluster with all that data through the Android Auto platform, that would be amazing. I have a car that I take to the track sometimes, and having something like this would be much sleeker than having to remove my car headunit and put gauges in the double DIN slot in my car.
Recognize that there is no justification for the treatment received by Anita Sarkeesian for challenging sexim in games, that would help.
99% of the treatment she calls harassment is people calling her out on her bullshit. She spins this into "Its because I'm a woman/feminist", but the reality is its just the internet doing what it does best: Calling you out publicly on your bullshit. She is also a public figure at this point, and as such, has been receiving what plenty of public figures get - Non-credible death threats and some pretty mean tweets. So what you are saying is that we should treat her different because she is a woman? Or are you being sexist and not saying that all harassment of that nature is bad, but you will only defend it because it is happening to a woman?
I work for the Navy as a contractor. This was a message put put out by the base. Basically it said little to no damage expected, but stay the hell out of the water due to currents caused by the quake.
Just got 2 notifications at work stating that there is a warning, and that there may be damage to our area. I live in Southern California, and my place of work is on the coast.
Attacking this woman's looks or anything else before actually understanding exactly what her argument is kinda shows off a bit of a insecure beta male mentality
Actually, the beta male mentality would be agreeing with her without reading the article in hopes of trying to get in her pants.
I had a CA Prop 215 card (Medical pot license) for the longest time when I was young, and I had a ticket for possession of pot. I just threw that on my form, absolutely no issue getting secret clearance. I asked the contracting company if I should include it, and they said "They already know. If you lie, you wont get the job. Just list everything, but make sure to let them know if you stopped."
As I had stopped around 6 years ago, I had no questions about it when I got a call back for clarification on certain things. I only have Secret (provisional right now, as it wasn't required for my job when I started, but is now), but I know that TS is a bit more ruthless.
They ask about your drug usage over the past 7 years. I just went through the process. As long as you aren't currently doing them nor have done them recently, its usually a pass.
But Microsoft and Gates smartly bought out Bungiesoft, and their next Mac game Halo got quickly made into a PC/XBox only affair.
Actually, Bungie was making Halo for awhile as a PC and Mac game. The buyout changed the deal into an Xbox only affair. I remember after E3 2000 when the announcement was made that it was being changed from PC/Mac to Xbrick only, I was really pissed. So basically, this wasn't so much as a way to remove gaming from the Mac as it was to boost their new console coming out.
You are the reason why we can't have nice things. Seriously, so salty over a passing joke on the internet. I bet you are just a blast to hang out with.
I was just being a bit of an ass, poking fun at you. The whole PROTIP thing stems from an old gaming magazine that is no longer around (GamePro - RIP). I find it quite funny that most of the kids online today that do the whole PROTIP thing have never actually read a GamePro before.
And as someone who logged in recently - If those games are not ranked, 90% of your teammates are bots grinding out for IP/Levels to have the accounts sold. DotA 2 is the king.
Some day on the horizon, maybe LoL will not be running on Adobe Air and have basic features like Replays built in.

I have news for you - If you are an egalitarian, you are considered an MRA now. Its the way things go.

I saw Na'Vi and immediately thought of the eSports franchise, and now I need to bleach my mind.
it is a dangerous activity that you must prove you are capable of performing
Barely. Can you reverse, use a turn signal and parallel park? Congrats, here is your license.

In Tera, I was destroying people in low level PVE gear in unequaled PVP zones and Battlegrounds. Not all the games are like that, but most are.
League of Legends is the king

Yeah. I really prefer the term ASSFAGGOTS to MOBA any day of the week.
Hey 3 digit UID man. The kids call it PROTIP, not Pro Hint. Keep up with the times gramps.
