And they're at it again: Gang Rape, the RPG.

Quote from: Halfjack;350144Wow, genocide? Do we have to go any further than armed robbery?

Hey, I didn't write it first.

Quote from: GnomeWorks;350064...of what, exactly?

Fact is fact. If that actually happens, then there's not really much more to be said about it than that. Since you're bringing it up, and I have little reason to doubt you, I'm willing to accept that that is a thing that happens.

The fact that the type of game under discussion causes real damage to real people, which is casually set aside by glib remarks which don't even address the question of how harmful they are to both individuals and the gaming community.

I'd suggest going and claiming a refund from your college, as they have neither taught you to address a question or follow a line of argument to its conclusion. These are the foundations of philosophy and psychology, and until you begin to grasp them there is no prospect of arriving at any understanding of concepts like moral imperatives and moral self-determination.

Until then, I''m afraid your self-absorbed conjecture is the figurative equivalent of the bum fluff on your chin.

Quote from: Paul B;350090Huh. With reading comprehension skills like that, Stormbringer, it's a wonder you've ever made your way through an RPG book.

The name-calling was sweet, though. I'm glad you care so much.

You poor guy, how are you ever going to get your enormous head out of your ass?

Hmm. If I used ignore lists, you'd be on mine.

Well, it does seem that the game was posted online without the author's consent. While I like to debate, I'm not happy if someone IP is violated. Was this the case?

Quote from: Halfjack;350016Surely it's more like pretending to go on a shooting rampage.

Oh, well that's MUCH better then... :rolleyes:

I received a complaint from someone claiming to be the author, stating as much, yes. So to be safe I've removed the link.

I don't see how that actually derails the debate itself in any way, however.

Quote from: Caesar Slaad;350044Yeah, I knew about this game before this thread too. Is there a statute of limitations on calling shit shit?

Not when the Storygamer Swine have actively tried to HIDE the existence of this game to those in the "unwashed masses", knowing that the vast majority of regular gamers would be disgusted with them, and trying to keep up their LIES that they are "just like us".

That would be because you are unwilling to think through or explain how that game could be considered acceptable from any perspective. Which returns us to how you could hope to ever become a philosopher without tackling questions head on. Which is a legitimate question to ask when you present your arguments as being competent on the basis of your 'knowledge' of philosophy.

If you don't call this kind of trash out every time it surfaces, it gets a chance to gain purchase among exactly the kind of intellectually challenged dunderheads who have been trying to defend it.

"dunderhead" - Glaswegian for stunningly stupid and self-absorbed

Figures.

This kind of shit is so much easier to get away with when no one can read the thing for themselves, thus giving leeway to claim "Oh, but it's really not that bad, people are just exaggerating".

I'm disappointed.

Quote from: pawsplay;350137A lot of people are acting as if they were personally invited to try out this "game," which they were not.

When did personal invitations become a prerequisite for criticism?

Exactly. I myself am a fan of the panopticon.

Under fair use, people can still quote elements that are incriminatory; you just can't post a link to where someone can download the damn product.

Nope! It's because you're a pretentious douchebag who couldn't possibly comprehend the possibility that someone honestly didn't see a question in your weirdly-worded post, who then feels it necessary to shit all over individuals who don't think exactly like you.

But thanks for playing!
