Makkon, can you please explain to me, what it is wrong I'm saying? Because I honestly don't understand, how one person is allowed to have their opinion, and I'm not allowed to have mine, just because it goes against that other person opinion?
linkov: no worries, man, I don't hold a grudge, and I think you're an amazing artist. On polycount, the culture typically goes that what happens in General Discussion, stays in General Discussion. PyrZern, did you seriously just link to Amazing Atheist? I'm out...
Community managers do get threats, but I've yet to see one state that they've had ones that include their home address or any other personal data. If you've got any evidence to the contrary, I'd genuinely love to see it. In the meantime, I'll direct you to this.
No, they haven't complained to you. If I know someone doesn't believe discrimination exists, and is going to dismiss my experiences and say things like, "Oh, that happens to everyone, suck it up," I'm not going to talk to them about it. I'll talk to someone who will actually listen and not automatically be dismissive.
You never know when someone is going to follow through, I'd never risk it because, like a normal human being, I have a strong sense of self preservation, aka I don't want to die. But yeah, reporting it, and going home and locking your freaking door is the next step.
I never said if a woman gets her ideas rejected, it's because she's a woman. Have you ever been in a situation where you'll provide a detailed solution to a problem only to have nobody say anything, or somebody might just say "Sorry, no."? Those are the situations I'm talking about. If somebody makes an attempt to…
did you even read that article? she got threats not for wanting games to be better. she is got it for being feminist. I can see how one is related to another in this case, but she is not involved with videogames production as I am, so I don't see how her story can be relevant to mine.
Though the request seems to be deleted, here is the report that the threats were not deemed credible by state and federal law enforcement officials: http://www.usu.edu/ust/index.cfm?article=54179 This was just trolling, and congratulations to the media you gave these trolls exactly what they want so we can look forward to…
This is going to be a little out of order, because I want to get to the most important thing first. Also, I'm not getting in-depth on everything, because I'm sick and it takes a stupid amount of effort to focus on this stuff. This right here? This is where the big breakdown in communication is happening. There are two…
Deaththreats to devs have been around since someone could send them anonymously. Phil Fish left the internet over them, Sarkeesian went to the media with hers and focused on the misogynistic aspects of it, that's the only difference. It's not some coordinated sudden appearance of hatred for women in gaming :I Ignore,…
