It would be funnier if KiA didn't started to act like that but in the other side of the political spectrum .

KIA ebbs and flows, it has a constant occupation of idiots from SRS and Anti-GG related communities trying to drag it off-focus. Has since it began. It likewise has /pol/ and ED trying their usual tomfoolery. Just deal with it and move on, KIA alternates between useful and retarded.
 
Leigh Alexander wrote a new post on her personal site (no archived link because archive.is is not working for me, don't be afraid to click on the link as Leigh's site is not supported by ad revenue). The TL;DR is that she's resigning from Offworld, not promising to quit writing about vidya altogether but suggesting she'll do so significantly less in the immediate future. Meanwhile, Leigh and Laura Hudson (Leigh's partner in the crime that is Offworld) started a Kickstarter to publish some of the articles that appeared on Offworld in a book form. It's not clear to me if they'll publish all the articles from the site or only a selection of them. Funding goal is $30,000 and as of now they've reached half of that with 29 days to go.

In addition to the main funding goal, there are also three stretch goals:

  • If we reach $40,000, each writer receives $50 more per feature.
  • If we reach $50,000, each writer receives $100 more per feature.
  • If we reach $60,000, each writer receives $150 more per feature.
If we go past these goals, you guessed it: we'll just keep giving everyone more money.

A full list of the writers whose work will be published in the book is provided on the Kickstarter page and includes such colorful characters as Zoe Quinn and Sarah Nyberg. That's right people, Nyberg might get more than $150 for writing one aritcle for Offworld!

So she's leaving to spend more time with her family. . .her Old Grand-Dad, her Uncle Jack Daniels, and maybe her cousin Jim Beam.

Is funny to read Laura Hudson on there given she is also like Leigh in get kicked out of web sites in a thin vail way. (Laura Hudson was the one person that transformed Comics Allience in a tumblr like blog)

Is a shame as I think both genuinely like geek stuff or whatever popular culture but their politics and abrasive behavior makes insufferable reading the websites they go to contaminate.

She looks rather good.

She has the money too now. Compare her to the other feminists in the group shot. Anita's the only one whose hair and make-up was professional done.

But keep complimenting her, it only drives the wedge between her and the other less...conventional feminist deeper.

Women are women after all and they all hate someone saying that one looks better.
 
Only tangentially related but it's fucking hilarious, so enjoy:








TL;DR: Dan Schlott (Writer of Brand New Day) goes full Social Justice Apologist, gets caught being pretty strongly against the SJWs before drinking the Kool-Aid, alienates fans, blocks everyone, lulz are had.
 
Just throwing this nugget of wisdom out into the wind here: Anyone who uses the phrase "the wrong side of history" in complete seriousness makes you sound like a college freshman who just found out about Karl Marx and you immediately lose any credibility as a person actually worth listening to.

Also Dan? As a person who wrote She-Hulk like a whore, wrote Mary Jane into being little more than a bargaining chip in Brand New Day... oh you remember that Spider-Woman cover? yes, THAT cover... trust me, the SJW's will remember your comments about it.

Dan, you really should know just what you're getting yourself into. Too late now.

That story is about how he got away with it, though. SJWs are very selective in their outrage and some people seem to get a free pass.

Considering that the big two sales are absolutely fucked right now because of shit like that, Slott picked a fucking awful time to jump on the SJW gravy train.

Also he's a shit writer with a hard on for Doctor Octopus, takes every moment to wank off Doc Ock or his most recent ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL, and has the comedic timing of a cockroach. The sooner he's off Spider-Man, the sooner that book has a chance of getting good again.

Oh great, thanks for reminding me that Silk still exists. I hoped that Spider Gwen being around (and an overall better character) would mean that we could all forget about Spider Sue. Slott's been around forever and yet I think the only run of his I ever really liked was his work on The Thing. So, hey, if he wants to poke this hornet's nest then by all means.
