  1. Re:gtfo on Intel Drops Gamasutra Sponsorship Over Controversial Editorials · · Score: 2

    I never heard of any of this shit before today. Who and what are these people and why should I care? I don't get it.

    It's something about feminism vs game shit.

    I read two (2) long articles of obscure crap and I am not enlightened at all.

    I have no choice but to subscribe to the notion that gamers should stick to Candy Crush and avoid philosophy.

    Why doesn't anyone understand that you can have any fucking name you like.

    Facebook is simply a free advertiser site like all the freemails (Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.).

    Facebook is an entertainment venue and not like the Geneva Convention or stuff.

    Facebook is going to have to change its rules for everyone. That's when the wheels fall off the truck.

    That started precisely when Facebook went IPO. Shareholders are a bitch.

    Facebook's best practical approach would be to stop taking themselves seriously.

    Facebook is not a government authority like the freaking IRS or anything.

    It's a goddam social network where people post pictures of their Starbucks coffee cup.

    Facebook's goal is to have all members be "real," so they can tell the advertisers that.

    The advertisers get really pissed when Facebook over-reports the "realness" of their membership.

    I have 17 Facebook accounts and I never use my real name. I don't have to. I challenge anyone to provide a citation.

    The thing that is not that big a deal is Facebook.

    Their only recourse is to down your account.

    Facebook is not a goddam government entity.
