Yeah Wil is so wrong on this one its not even funny. But then again, this is the same guy who decided to ban the use of the word "slaves" on TableTop from a board game that uses slaves - and decided they would be called "helpers" instead. Forget the fact the game also includes assassinations.
Murder? OK
Historical reference to slaves? Nope
Oh and the SJW trigger warning before playing a game with Nazi iconography.

The thing is, helpers have freedom and slaves do not. Anyway didn't know he did this since I've stopped watching his tabletop shows a while back.

I just don't understand why more out cry isn't given about this bitch. The Femi-Nazis voice probably just drowns it out.

Because any dissent is immediately condemned as misogynistic hate speech stemming from the privilege of sis white males.
Christ these idiots tried to massacre TotalBuscuit but he has such a strong following on YT they werent able to gain traction.

What about the nearly $1MM USD she has spent and produced about half the videos she received funding for over a 5yr period.

She basically was the catalyst for gamergate.

It really isn't just that, but feminism, SJW and how she spilt up not only the gaming but athiest communities as well.

Edt: Will post a few links later. Just on my phone with terrible service right now.

To see what the board thinks of her. No one really brings her up. She/that movement was getting real interest by lawmakers for quite sometime. The games you play could still be changed in radical ways. What might have saved the games and play style we love might be the general distaste recently of feminism.

Edt: Also want a place to dump news about her near weekly scandals and misinformed tweets.

Not sure what you imagine in terms of laws but it isn't going to happen for a whole host of reasons.

I really couldn't care less about gamergate/ anti-gamergate. It was about the most pointless controversy I can imagine. Everyone has known video game journalism is crooked for years, but then a bunch of people flipped their shite over some minor game no one cared about.

It is, but originally he was diagnosed with a form of colon/prostate cancer which has an extraordinarily high mortality rate because its an old persons disease. Younger people have a much longer lifespan with it. His has metastasized and moved to other organs, so its inoperable and therefor terminal. The rub there is while normal life expectancy for that diagnosis would be under 2 years, he may live much much much longer. Chemo will keep killing the cancer and he is young enough to fight it off.
Its not a death sentence, my wife was given a diagnosis of 5% chance to see a year. That was a decade ago. Different kind of cancer but I think the point remains.

So you do not think that culture can affect laws or create laws which govern media and/or how that media is consumed?

Edt: I honestly do not care about gamergate all that much. It was silly but some of the factions created are scary for a society.

Eh, I already read all about the drama on reddit from a while back. I don't really partake in the SJW bullshite that is intruding in every single aspect of life nowadays. I'm not saying their aren't prejudices out there but I personally think people are just wanting a reason to be offended today. The internet has given people a voice and people want to shout about something regardless of whether it's worth shouting about or not.

Today's youth wouldn't last a week in previous generations society. They don't know oppression. I've traveled in the military and seen what oppression looks like. Our generations are making HUGE strides in gender equality and being open minded. It's not going to fricking happen overnight and all venom back and forth isn't going to will it any faster. It's literally causing even more divide between the sides.

Gaming is my most passionate hobby. I listen to more podcast and read more gaming news than I ever have but their social war just doesn't interest me. I have my own problems that I have to deal with. I play games to escape, have fun, chill and immerse myself in something that the artist and game developers created.

In all honesty, Gaming is still making it's place in our society. 25 years ago gaming was perceived as something for kids and "nerdy/childish" adults and look how far it's come so far. Over the last decade or so gaming has become mainstream and it wasn't until then that we really started hearing about more females getting into the industry or seeing the spike in girls with gaming as a hobby. It's silly that it's an issue but society will get there. It just takes a little time.

ETA: FUUUCCKKK.. My adderall just kicked in. Sorry for the rant.

I think her videos have high production values and that she can occasionally make a good point, though I mostly disagree with her.

Also, anyone who makes death threats to someone over a dissenting opinion concerning video games is an imbecile.
