I see you dodging my question. So I assume its mostly anti Israel. Any criticism, no matter how legit is painted as antisemitism by either left or right (some times both). I know leftist progresive actually can be really antisemitic because of Israel/Palestine and take it on other Jews (even if they dont agree with Israel either) or that they ignore Muslim/Arab antisemtism, but it is still hypocritical to play antisemite card from start no matter what.

I’m looking at the thread and with no surprise, anyone calling out there’s a large amount of anti-Semitism has been banned- and they certainly don’t provide any sources to the reason they hate Israel so much.
 
And again. I have to point this out; It the irony that they’re so against something that IF done by someone they dislike. They would be throwing those same labels while they make excuses to why they’re allowed to, also a lot of use of the word “Zionism”
 
This site is a god awful, laggy dumpster fire. You can go to the tread and look yourself, but it’s taking several minutes too long to get through one brain-numbing page of that thread…

I read it. And it is just like I said, anti Israel pro Palestine sentiment. You can be against Israel considering what Israel is doing, not that Palestinians are free of any guilt (not with their big support of terrorist) but Israel is doing worse. Being anti Zionist is fine too, because it can be seen as really dangerous and hateful form of nationalism, just because actual antisemites use it for their advantage you dismiss any criticism and actions against it. Neo neogaf is SJW cancer but you just want to censor their opinions of it, making them look like good guys. Pointing irony or hypocrisy in their behavior is not excuse to act like them

How am I censoring their opinions when I was making a joke at them and their hypocrisy that they’d be ?
 
Not only that, but they celebrate a radical loonatic that attacks cops to make herself a victim.
 
The site that will ban anyone for wrongthink, the one that has created so much rage about such minute things in hopes they bully game dev into self-censorship, I’m the censor here for making fun at their freakout- and never once call such things. Unless you’d be so kind as to prove that.

Howdy y’all. Haven’t posted in a while, but I come bringing a salty tweet:
 
People criticise journalists for being biased, but ‘influencers’ obviously being paid off are fine
 
I’ll let your imaginations run wild about the real reason why this complaint has surfaced, but I want to address the ridiculous false equivalence here:
 
1: He assumes that people believe journalists “avoid conflicts of interest & take bias seriously” (comedy gold)  
2: He assumes the problem is that journalists say “X is not as good as Y”  
3: He assumes that ‘influencers’ and journalists are comparable:  
3a: He assumes that a journalist’s job is to promote media, or  
3b: He assumes ‘influencers’ are supposed to be held to the same standard as journalists for judging a game  
4: He assumes that the reason why people trust ‘influencers’ over journalists is “b/c they’re more relatable”
 
It’s crazy just how self-deluded some people can be. Or perhaps addressing the real problems behind their profession would be giving the enemy too much credibility and they would rather ignore the real issues, fingers-in-ears style.
 
The tweet is in a response to an article about streamers getting paid to play new games as a form of advertisement, and this Rand fellow seems to think that this strategy working is somehow some form of hypocrisy by the gamers that oppose game journalists. A ridiculous notion not helped in the slightest by this non-sequitur of an argument. At the least, the tweets in response are calling him out on his nonsense.

@Plain Pony  
The immediately obvious difference is, a streamer’s audience can see the actual game being actually played.  
Who’d’a thunk that just might drive more sales than some journo – or not if the game in question is an obviously clunky mess.

I wish I could remember who it was, but I think it was a polygon journalist that got flown out to a party to try out Guitar hero or something like that and he complained he had to play the game.
 
Crap like that has been prevalent since X-play. They had people play games they hated just to piss them off, like that’s not going to effect score at all.

My face when a character of school age gets a school outfit. Almost as if people can wear school outfits without it being erotic cosplay. Also ignoring the possibility of appealing to under 18s.

It never is and will never be the last.
 
I would bet there are Sonic fans that have a problem with Rouge, trying to say she’s still too young or young looking to be “Sexualized” but has tons of Sonic having sex with Tails and probably commissioned a few.
 
Then there’s a shippers. SU and Voltron fandom. They loath anything that isn’t their “OTP”  
The reason the last season of Voltron tanked was because the already split fandom due to demanding the now gay Shiro either be with Keith or Lance and when neither happened they threw a fit on Twitter.
 
Then there’s SU who have openly attacked people over how a character is drawn, but for some reason have never really seem to have a problem with art of Steven being forcefully gang-banged by the gems. Really shows you the priorities there.
 
I’ve not seen much with the MHA fandom, but I bet there’s a lot of the same in those fandoms as well. They’re not really fans, because the overall story doesn’t matter to them. It’s all about which characters they want to fantasize about having sex.

Hey, you guys remember people got butt hurt over Catherine, saying it’s “Muh phobe” and bad and they were going to buy it?
 
Well, turns out they got their wish of getting it censored and still aren’t going to fucking buy it.
 
full
 
I wonder who could have seen this coming.
 
What sucks is we know this is just the American branch screwing over the company, but they will unfortuetly reap lower sales as people are sick of seeing pandering to those that don’t buy the products.
 
Guarantee, the cancer is saying the exact same as this tweet. They don’t care, just want to see how much influence they hold to change games to the way they approve of.
