And ANN is the reason I have an ad blocker now.

alright, it was a really great episode. The only thing that people will have to bitch about is cartman being a transphobic (and somewhat cisphobic, tho that was only a guise to add to his trans ploy) asshole. The episode hit home with a lot of topics and gave a great moral for trans people. it even touched on cisphobia, which was a nice touch

overall the episode was great and wasnt too horribly offensive imo. the only thing that was weird to me is how they didnt really go anywhere with wendy’s trans thing?? idk

are they gonna be wendy or wendyl the next time we see them? are they really trans??

This season has been showing some degree of continuity. Last week, they acknowledged how the boys quit school to do the Redskins start-up. This week expanded and answered why Randy was dressed up as Lorde at the end of last week's episode. Heck, even with Eric eating a bunch of Eggo waffles, the show still acknowledged the gluten thing. I have a feeling Wendyl will show up next week.

What if in the new episode

Stan doesn’t like how masculine Wendy’s acting so he breaks up with her/(him?)

Wendy and Cartman feel like they’re both outcasts Wendy and Cartman decide to date

Stan gets super jealous???

My brain hurts that someone believes in it. And he's the Dekim Barton to Anita's Mariemaia Khushrenada.

Oh my god! Why did we ever listen to these people?

[jkschnabel]

Kuchera was a good voice when EA was making an ass of itself during its second Consumerist "Worst Company In America" award run; called them out on some BS. Either way, his actions today are a reason Polygon is losing traffic.

There are not enough facepalms in the world for Devin Faraci. And that's me taking the high road against him and his hyperbole.

Can someone please educate me On how 4chan, taint of the internet Made Vivian James Or is this some sort of Olivia Mann shit

[jkschnabel]

Short version: Zoe Quinn and/or her associates/friends/whatever attacked feminist group The Fine Young Capitalists and their game jam to get more women in game development. 4chan's /v/ and /pol/ boards decided to raise money for TFYC's IndieGoGo campaign for said game jam. Soon, they hit the donation goal where they get to create-a-character. After much debate, /v/ created Vivian.

For what little it’s worth, I support those who want more transparency in video game journalism and wanting everyone to have a voice. No one deserves to be harassed or threaten, yet game journalists have been mocking and chastising the people that care the most about what they have to say. I’m not saying those that identify as gamers are exempt from criticism, but they don’t deserve to be demonized. Especially not since those that are against gamers claim they are taking the moral high ground when really they’ve been just as vicious and deplorable as they claim gamers to be. Not all of them, but enough to make me question what it is exactly they are trying to gain from this and if they actually know what this thing is mainly about (want of better journalism). But seeing as how wanting better journalism being the main issue is almost constantly being ignored, it doesn’t surprise me if most don’t know.

Does the game industry need to change? Absolutely. It should not cater solely to one demographic nor should it assume it knows exactly what they want to allow stagnation to run amok, but that doesn’t mean it should completely abandon them. There needs to be more inclusive games and a wider range of genres marketed to advance the industry and make it better, but every game does not have to be for everyone. Not every game needs to be deep or artistic or have mass appeal, especially at the risk of the quality of the game. Not every game should have to worry if it’ll offend certain people. Not every game should constantly offend certain people, either. There needs to be more equality, but that doesn’t mean equality has to be shoehorned into every game. There are books and movies and works of art that appeal to certain demographics more than others, but does that make them worse? Does that make them wrong? Does not being able to agree 100% with something make that work lose all sense of merit? Sometimes there are things out there that aren’t meant for you, or me, or most of the population. I don’t think that automatically makes them wrong or means they’re pushing a certain agenda. I just think that means we’re different, not better or worse. Games for a certain audience shouldn’t dominate what’s popular and heard about, but those games shouldn’t have to be forced to go away, either.

Also, i did a drawing of Vivian. Not a good one, but I think it’s ok.

Reblogged because it's true.

[gamergateharassment-blog-blog]

Because that is a totally legit analogy >.>

[sideeyeingyouhard]

Isn’t this that same ass who said gamers are worse than ISIS, or was that a different Faraci?

[jkschnabel]

Same one. Still the same blind old man.

Here’s a clue kids - When one side of a discussion believes ‘fuck you’ is a legitimate response for an adult to make they may just, possibly, be kind of immature assholes.

Then again anyone that disagrees is being lumped into the nebulous ‘white cis-male gamer scum’ pile and blacklisted regardless, so explaining that is kind of a moot point.

Comics Alliance has been one big fat disappoint. Even before this. I remember when they had a mental breakdown over Uncanny Avengers #5.

[thefineyoungcapitalists]

So apparently we got an article written about us, I’d link to it, but that would only encourage more traffic which would cause people to write more hit pieces. And the next time I’m not going to be angry enough to write a funny response. So the problem with considering women as being equal is…

[gamergateharassment-blog-blog]

GoodGamers was founded on September 1st, 2014 in the midst of the #gamergate scandal.  (What is #gamergate you ask?  Here’s a great link to get you started.)   As such, some of us banded together to create a site for gamers, by gamers, free of the corporate sponsorship and tit-for-tat we were seeing everywhere else.  This site, is the result of that team.  And these promises, are our promises to you, dear reader: 1.  This site will ALWAYS remain sponsorship free We do not take corporate sponsorships, we do not do sponsored articles.  The only ads we will run are google ad sense.   Your experience here will never be bought or sold, by anyone. 2.  This site will be (mostly) free of political ideologies We have a section on this site, called editorials – if we feel the need to write on political issues facing gamers today, we might perhaps write one.  Those stories will NEVER be featured on the main slider and they will NEVER be labeled as “news”.  In additional, all editorials will be reviewed by at least 4 authors prior to publishing to ensure that all sides of the story of heard / discussed. 3.  No More Click Baiting Are we going to try to make catchy titles?  Sure.  Are we going to click-bait you with crap for content?  No. 4.  Your voice will always be heard The only comments that will be deleted are ones which release personal information about another person.  Period. This is our mission – to bring the best news, interviews, and editorials of the gaming industry – without any of the bullshit. We are currently looking for writers and editors.   If you would like to be one, please fill out the form found here.

If anyone thinks they could do a better job of being a game journalist then Kotaku, now is the time to prove it

They are looking for people of any gender, but I heard that female applications are underrepresented there, so being a girl will probably increase your chances of being picked.
