The Woke morons are going after Steve Jackson Games

Quote from: RPGPundit;1087038See, this IS gaming related, and therefore allowed!

However, it could probably be worthy of its own thread.

Huge props to The Quartering! He made Matt Loter his little bitch.

Greetings!

Yes, outstanding! Pundit, I know you remember there were those people doubting the Quartering, and saying they needed legal proof before they believed that the Quartering guy was assaulted.

BOOM. Vindication, and proof that the SJW Matt Loter is a pathetic scumbag--and it's so sweet that he's been made a little bitch!:D

I hope this will give the SJW's more pause in how they conduct themselves at game conventions.

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

They'll double down, SHARK. I'm not sure conventions will survive the SJW brigade and remain fun. In 10 years we might see. Neutering conventions, which is what it looks like to me, is going to dry them up a bit. People want to have fun and cut loose, not memorize a bazillion page book on con rules of etiquette.

I completely agree that no one should be assaulting other people at conventions, and I approve of this judgement. It's good that there is at least some legal deterrent.

I do quibble a little that asking for proof isn't necessarily wrong. Saying "I believed before there was proof" doesn't mean that one is necessarily vindicated when proof comes around. It might still have been jumping the gun at the time.

An issue I have is that it seems the terms of the settlement with Matt Craptastic is that both parties apparently have to write a letter to Gencon asking for the other to be unbanned.

It's asinine that Hambly has to do such for Loter, considering Loter was the violent assailant.

Yes, but by the look on his face, Hambly is pretty happy with the deal he got. He probably considered it a small price to pay to get whatever else he got and be able wrap up before his legal fund ran out.

So what was the altercation about? I'm curious what would make a gamer assault someone at a con but I can't watch that guy's channel.

kythri · May 10, 2019, 01:30:03 AM

tl;dr is that Hambly said things SJW's didn't like about Anita Sarkeesian in one or more of his videos, Loter proudly wore his little "Punch Nazis" shirt and announced that he'd be at GenCon and would fight anyone who said bad things about Sarkeesian, ambushed Hambly at a bar (pre-con) and physically assaulted him, then ran away and hid like a bitch.

Considering the SJW emphasis on apologies, getting a public apology from Loter is like a critical hit.

Quote from: Bradford C. Walker;1086844The SJWs take an L.

The Quartering wins his civil suit against the man who attacked him at GenCon. The settlement forces an apology out of the attacker and--and this is what I know stings something fierce--has to confess that Quartering is not a Nazi. Video is here.

Watch the usual places to see if the salt flows over this. This is tame compared to other suits various SJWs face in the legal sphere, but a win is a win.

Oh, now that just makes my morning. Thank you!

Quote from: Larsdangly;1086891The only reason an american's patriotism has any potential value is that it happens in a country where someone can burn the flag. The only reason this site isn't a complete alt-right echo chamber is that very rarely someone calls out the frequent posters on their horse shit and they are allowed to stay. The fact that I'm what passes for a 'troll' should bug you. I spout off when I see people post way-over-the-line crap that should bother you unless you are an Incel or neonazi or something. If you see this sort of thing and it bugs you and you just move on, then you are part of the reason why this site is almost completely rotted out.

In Kythri's defense... he said "trollish". Not quite full troll. So your'e solid!

Horseshit. Both "sides" are called out all the time. The fact that you accuse this site of being "alt-right" is more indicative of your mental illness than reality.

You're scoring tons of points with this one. This site is so fucking far from being "alt-right" you fucking clown.

"almost completely rotted out" - you are simply laughable. Try harder next time.

Can I add to that by pointing out that Motorskills was just banned for 2 weeks (pending admin review.) at TBP for posting about that outcome. Supporting Comicsgate and both-sideism don't you know.

Wait, was there commentary from Motorskills or just shoot the messenger?

The latter would be bad. But also a good sign we are nearing end phase as the 'eating of their own' might be in full effect. When you cannot tolerate any 'bad news' and attack whoever brings it you know they know the end is nigh.

Also, sorry to hear that, Motorskills.

But you can hang out more often here for two weeks!

I disagree with a huge chunk of Motorskills opinions, but, as far as I'm concerned, he's more that welcome to post his annoying crap.

You know, I thought that I might schadenfreude harder at that then I have but its tough. Reading that, I think that they are truly eating their own over there at TBP, but I'm also saddened because if you take someone fresh into gaming who has never read a forum before and they see that chum bucket full of piranhas, it might really turn them off of the hobby.
