Oh please. This isn't dog-piling at all. This is me banging my face against sanctimonious right-wing cinder blocks because I'm feeling masochistic. There is so much fake news and echo chambers nowadays that trying have a rational discourse about politically sensitive topics is pretty much impossible.

I only visit due to a combination of inertia and morbid fascination.

Quote from: BoxCrayonTales;1092736In my experience, the anti-SJW movement has become just as bad as the SJW movement. At the same time that SJWs are destroying the careers of aspiring African- and Asian-American authors, anti-SJWs are trolling the Hugo Awards to get Space Raptor Butt Invasion nominated. At the same time that Brie Larson clumsily argues for more diversity in film critics, anti-SJWs are making countless videos childishly mocking her buttocks. When Anita Sarkeesian makes a video series criticizing sexist tropes in media, the anti-SJWs send her countless death and rape threats.

If anti-SJWs want to look good, then it might help to not act like or worse than their supposed opponents.

BULLSHIT!

I have never seen a anti-sjw formed movements that are dedicated in wanting police officers to die aka Black Lives Matter and wanting to silence their political opponents by any means necessary aka Antifa.  You tell me a guy who makes memes, or is just conservative is just as bad as sick fucks that beat people up with bike parts?  How about you pull your head out of your fucking ass for once?

It must suck to see social justice ideology come crashing down around you. I don't blame you for being bitter.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

I think that we can agree that Anita Sarkeesian and Salman Rushdie are the two writers most unfairly targeted by anti-SJWs.

Does the anti-SJW movement have Hollywood, Silicon Valley and the entire MSM jumping when it says jump?

That would be a good start for us becoming "just as bad".

But don't worry, the naughty naughty anti-SJWs aren't going to be on social media much longer. Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have been ramping up their "cleansing" of dissenting voices and there's no doubt social media will be a corporate enforced SJW safe space in the coming years.

The Hugo Awards traded decades of credibility for wokeness. Welcome to the price tag.

Brie is a piece of shit. Just imagine an actor demanding to speak to Only White or Only Male critics.

It's her stupid facehole, not her saggy asshole, that's her problem.

Please link to news stories about the arrests of everyone who threatened her.


Quote from: BoxCrayonTales;1092736If anti-SJWs want to look good, then it might help to not act like or worse than their supposed opponents.

Anti-SJWs look good when they mock without mercy.

We're not trying to "look good" to anyone who values what the SJWs are selling.

And it doesn't matter anymore. There aren't any "minds to change". Everyone has chosen their banner. You are SJW, anti-SJW or mushy middle covering your ears and hoping Mommy makes the screaming stop.


Quote from: BoxCrayonTales;1092736I meant genuine consultants. CDProjekt consulted real Haitians for input into implementing Haitian culture in their characters.

LOL.

It's that laughable SJW insanity where only people of XYZ culture can create any characters from culture XYZ. And we're talking about Haiti 2077 which might possibly be less of a shithole than Haiti 2019 so somehow these consultants are gonna know Haitian culture 60 years from now? LOL. If you're doing a game about Haiti 2000, then that's a different story. Then the "real Haitians" might have useful input.

No "consultant" from 1960 America could have told us meaningful details about American culture in 2019.

This "consultant " crap is just virtue signalling bullshit.


Quote from: SavageSchemer;1092787I mean, how the hell do you do 'punk' anything if you kowtow to outside pressure?

Every video game company that hired Anita punked their customers!

Awesome. Pure awesome.

They weren't consultants though.

Quote from: Ratman_tf;1092755You think that destroying someone's career is "just as bad" as trolling the Hugos with Space Raptor Butt Invasion? I think I'd disagree. One is juvenile but relatively harmless. The other, well, destroying someone's career seems pretty goddamn bad to me.

As for Auntie Anita, she's made serious bank on being a victim. Everyone notable gets death and rape threats online. I don't approve of them, but how many have been followed up with an actual attack?



Anti-SJWs aren't concerned with looking good. That's what makes them immune to the SJW nonsense.
The goal is to mock SJWs and reveal how terrible they are.

Quoted for truth.

Quote from: RandyB;1092750From what I've learned recently, I likely disagree with some of his personal views. And I am still going to buy his stuff in print as I rebuild my physical gaming library. He's one of the all time great RPG designers, and has the balls to tell the freakshow to piss off.
Democrats assume that Mike is also a Democrat. So they buy his stuff. For now.

Quote from: Trond;1092791Not to dogpile too much here but:
As far as the attacks against Sarkeesian go; take a look at how she reacted to Boogie2988 input at Vidcon. I don't doubt she has received some mean comments over the years, but then she does take anything and everything that is not praise as an attack. If anyone is "toxic" it's her (not to mention Zoe Quinn and co.)

She "attacked" Carl Benjamin, who was doing nothing, just for sitting in the front row of her discussion panel at the time.

I like how "anti-SJWs" is now just a thing, where it wasn't one before.

Anyway. William Shatner is apparently an "anti-SJW", who SJWs wanted dead and are now trying to destroy his charity.

Quote from: BoxCrayonTales;1092562The product exemplifies leftist values, so it is the height of hypocrisy for leftists to attack it.
One of the interesting things about white supremacist groups is that they actually kill a lot of other white supremacists - for not being white supremacist enough.

In Australia in the 1960s, the Communist Party directed its preferences to the Liberal (actually a conservative) party, because they thought the Labor Party wasn't left-wing enough.

Most groups with extreme political, religious etc views spend a lot of time and effort policing their own for not being "pure" enough. That this is counter-productive to their cause seems to have escaped them.

Its quite common with all extremist groups. Deviation from purity is the most vile heresy.

Considering the people in these groups, their need to wipe out heretics among them is a feature, not a bug.

ANTIFA is another group that plays along to get along.
