Quote:Gamergate Critic Leigh Alexander to Found New Website for Women and Minority Gamers
They are reaching for straws that no longer even exist, the title should be, "psychotic peach finally gets kicked out of gamasutra for being a psychotic peach"

You know, you're still only proving the point that maybe something does need to change by your first respone to things like this being calling her a "psychotic peach", right?
#Gamergate - Phoenix Wright - 2015-03-06
So Flonne calling a psychotic peach a psychotic peach is somehow indicative of widespread sexism in gaming? Is that what you're trying to imply?
Quote:Psychosis refers to an abnormal condition of the mind, and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality".
Quote:peach, literally meaning a female dog, is a slang pejorative for a person, commonly a woman, who is belligerent, unreasonable, malicious, a control freak, rudely intrusive or aggressive.
I don't really think there's a better set of two words that can be used to accurately describe Leigh Alexander.

Over an individual person's word choice?... don't you think that's a bit much?
And even then, this specific individual is quite by and large disconnected from reality from what I've seen.

She would be diagnosed as clinically insane if she bothered to visit a doctor, and she is a complete ass to everyone around her that she disagrees with and many of the ones that agree with her besides. Psychotic peach is a perfect description of her. She has paranoia and delusions of grandeur on a scale even larger than most of the other leaders of the 3rd wave feminism movement, which is to say, where they see themselves as queens doling out truth to the unwashed and pathetic masses who don't know any better than to hate them because of how amazing they are, she sees herself as a god, an ultimate arbiter of truth and justice whose every whim should be written down as holy doctrine.

I'm curious as to what you mean "needs to change". Give women more respect? I think the internet needs more respect in general but to jump to it being a sex issue is disingenuous.
These people aren't unlikable because 'omg my boy clubhouse', it's because they fit terrible characteristics that causes the internet to retaliate. Before Anita, before gamergate, did you ever see people on this forum deal with sexism, or was it stupidity? We can talk about all 3 who's if you want, I can list every reason why they should be legitimately thrown out of the industry, not because of their gender, not even for their politics (although that is arguable as it really has become an extension) but rather for their disrespect to the consumer base.
But I wont waste my breath on a rant you may not want to discuss

I'm pretty sure that when you attack people who are mostly aligned with you, demand that people give you free labor if they're skilled and then dismiss your 'allies' because they point out that you shouldn't be asking for freebies from skilled people, 'psychotic peach' is kind of an understatement.
Best of luck to AMD by the way.

I just decided to take a peek back at this thread, and WOW this is shameless egotism at one of it's finest. Don't pull the misogynist card just because your game looks like some high school/college project. Mismanaging 4 years and almost half a million clams THIS bad? That takes talent.
Then I decided to read a link that showed Brianna Wu getting a private Facebook chat with one of her "SJW allies" that got burned, and the drama was simply delicious. The main reason this pleases me so much is because I'm very sure near the beginning of the whole Gamergate debacle, my younger sister heard about it but thought Brianna Wu WAS A GOOD PERSON. This all helped her see the peach for how she really is. I can't believe at one point one of my own would've supported the SJW side of all of this.

How can any sane person not support more inclusivity in general? That's literally what social justice means.
Wu is probably insane, but that's hardly any different to the numerous crazies I could pick and choose from that apparently support gamergate as a means to just insult and slander people over the internet.
Since if this thread has taught me anything, it's that it's completely ok to tar an entire group of people with the same brush based on one or two people.

Lozmaster Wrote:How can any sane person not support more inclusivity in general? That's literally what social justice means.
Because they don't support social justice and they are using Gamergate as a means of a soapbox to either make money or get some prominent attention.
For example with Brianna Wu, she had coffee with a guy she got into a fued with, Brad Wardell brought this incident up when she said stardock was a company full of misogynists, saying his support for gamergate was obviously a confession.
Little did she know there more prominent games had female directors, she decided to apologize and have coffee with him, when she tweeted out they shared a lot of the same business ideologies, her followers turned on her like wolves. Tweets like "we can stop pretending we like her game now", to "Privileged white tranny" emerged, really, really prominently. Brianna quickly backpeddaled and repeated the same narrative before their coffee, saying he's a misogynist pig.
Randi Harper lost her job because of downsizing, literally made a list of twitter user followers of certain individuals and dumped them into a generic blockbot app, then printed out the scripts to give to people. She decided instead of getting a new job, she would, "GO full time social justice warrior", to fight gamergate. She made the controversy her livelihood, shes banking on it lasting forever. That is someone taking advantage of the situation, of so called 'victims', to make money. That's not a warrior, that's a rat, and a disingenuous one at that.
Anita has probably become the worst of them all, spearheading this ideology that games cause sexism. That I as an individual who played Mario as child, then by playing bayonetta as an adult has made me into a woman hater. The ADL has worked on a curriculum for high school students;
http://www.adl.org/assets/pdf/education-outreach/is-gaming-a-boys-club.pdf which worked with Feminist Frequency to spread the "facts", which if actually digested, are very alarmist and contradictory. That isn't even including anita's distasteful, I would even say, privileged racism towards other cultures, such as Japan. Also find it slightly alarming she's asking money for a new project when she hasn't even finished, HALF of her first one, but that's just me.
Zoe there isn't a lot to say, she lied saying she ran to Europe because people harassed her, truth was she had that trip pre-planned and was actually very excited about it since May. Fortunately the court put a muzzle on her because of the court case, but there are a lot of glaring inconsistencies with the testimonies she has presented. Many of her allegations didn't match the facebook timestamps that were verified when they accessed her computer.
These are entitled brats who have been disingenuous from the start, if you really live your life as a terrible person, and try to deflect saying it's because of your gender, you're in denial. Johnathan mcintosh and ben kutchera are also very prominent examples regarding this. Don't even get me started on Anthony Birch, oh my god is that guy an irrational moron.
Edit: Also see Leigh Alexander rebooting a dead company saying that any white men that give any work are to do so for free, or not at all. She's only employing women/POC because white males already had their turn. When people stated this is blatantly being exclusive, everyone turned on those who pointed it out calling them privilege white males always asking to be center of attention.
These people are crazy.

Pot, meet kettle. *rolls eyes*
No one here wants less women or diversity in general in the video game industry, if you seriously think that then I implore you to please re-read this entire thread. I also implore you to actually seriously research what GG is about. Yes, there are bad apples here and there, but that applies to literally every group in existence. Quit cherry picking, it's getting incredibly old.

The only person I can think of that meets your description is the Ralph Retort which majority of GG has started to condemn because he's so frekin irrational. I mean honestly I have met PLENTY of neutral's who feel BOTH sides are too extremist, but I have, never, ever met someone Anti GG who is rational. That isn't even a broad stroke, that's my actual experience with hundreds of them.
Go look at gamerghazi, who bans anyone who ISNT anti GG, and that includes neutral, such as sushilulu. You can go on kotaku in action and post you hate gamergate and here's why, you will be listened too, you will be part of a discussion. Dare you to do that gamerghazi and you're immediately banned. Honestly the best way to describe this is, Gamergate is Bill Nye while Anti GG is Ken Ham.

You know if you keep doing that people are going to think your name starts with O and ends with an S and that you write articles for ED.
In other GG news, Leigh Alexander got herself fired from GamaSutra, apparently for making insane comments like this...

==EDIT==
"Even further evidence that Anita Sarkeesian doesn't even /play/ video games"
...uh, Anita actually point blank said that herself back around 2010...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afgtd8ZsXzI
Anita is actually fairly smart though on the whole, unlike most of her crazy infested counter-parts she does seem to have a very genuine grasp of what it is that she's doing... basically being an opportunist and a "professional victim". She plays the role very well and maximizes it to her personal advantage. She's essentially a politician of the video game industry.

Was it here that the "all female company" example was posted, where within months it devolved into a 24 hour a day catfight that ended up losing the person her house and 2 cars because she had invested so much into the company when it fell through?
Yeah. I'm looking forward to her company.

the thing is that as soon as anyone starts going too cray cray and off-topic on gamergate, they get the boot, good example is KoP.
my issue with ralph is for every good news, or information he puts out, he lacks any sort of journalistic finesse, insults, says how he's lazy, will do pomegranate later, etc etc etc, the only difference between him and full blown tabloid propaganda is that he actually posts veridic stuff.
#Gamergate - KhainiWest - 2015-03-22
So the blockbot anti GG uses to essentially slander and harass people on twitter may actually be illegal in the country that it's hosted (UK), along with the hilarity that Obama is actually blocked by it.
The irony in all this is Randy harper made a 'fund me' campaign to become full time SJW (her words), then started a non profit to protect those who are being harassed online, only to become one of the biggest harassers on twitter. People like that are merely exploiters, rats, they're just overall disgusting.
