The War Continues, blessed are those who serve the God Emperor Of Mankind, his Holy and Righteous Warriors, THE BASED MARINES!
(fuck if I can even figure out what based means anymore lol)
As a side note, I’m sure most of you noticed me going on about Greg Tito before, well he’s made a half ass and late but still a gesture about the not investigating Wizardchan issuie.
“Hello everyone,
While my earlier comments in this thread do represent my personal opinions on the matter of online harassment, my posts regarding the treatment of victims of abuse should not be perceived as the official policy of The Escapist.
The Escapist holds journalistic ethics extremely dear, and will always strive to honor them when reporting the news. After reviewing our story, “Depression Quest Dev Faces Harassment After Steam Submission,” I have determined that we do need to update the language to make it clear that we were reporting allegations made by the game developer in question which had not been verified by a third party. I accept full responsibility for the oversight, and apologize to the Escapist readership. I’ll be working with our senior editors to enact revised guidelines to help prevent situations like this from occurring again.
I will personally continue to try to reduce the amount of abuse I encounter on the internet by addressing it immediately and calling for the culprits to accept responsibility for their actions - as I have. Your comments on articles, on forum threads and on Twitter have consequences. The readers of the text you publish with a “Submit” button can experience real harm from what you write. Casual, anonymous hatred is a very real threat to the well-being of others, even if you don’t see those effects. In light of that, I ask all of you to treat people with respect.
I want to personally thank those of you in this thread who have been asking for abusive behavior on all sides to end. I applaud your efforts, as well as those of The Escapist forum moderators who have attempted to keep the discussion as civil as possible.
If you’d like more information on my personal stance, as well as the one held by some other prominent internet denizens, on the subject of harassment and abuse online, please watch the panel I held at PAX East 2014 called “What You Can Do to End Bile and Hatred in Games” here. The panel’s audio begins around 29 minutes into the broadcast.”

Clearly only way to get anything done. No civil option remain since they lie and suppress
@Zennistrad
But I’m saying you need to stop trying to sweep any and all allegations under the carpet against her as “harassment”. The fact remains that she illegally filed false DMCA and illegally took down websites under false copyright claims which are very real crimes. To say that any and all allegations against her are void because people are not being civil is cherry picking information of the allegations against her to invalidate any and all criticisms is a red herring to which no single person is that stupid to fall for.
