Inactive Alison Rapp / Maria Mint / 123grapeman - Pedo Defense Force, CP Advocate, Whore. Husband Jake Rapp found his balls and divorced her.

[MiloWuCollusion]

How much Patrick bitched about people getting doxxed and hurt when was still in GB, how much defended people that were total scumbags to the site itself like Brianna Wu or Leigh Alexander, how much he cares about women in video games that he bitched about seeing semi naked women in Danganronpa or the trailer for Cyberpunk... but I suppose taking shoots to a real activist against sex trafficking for a Nintendo PR pedo controversy is the social progressive thing to do.

Hey Patrick, if you are reading this, you said that the GB community help you a lot when you father died and made you think diferently about internet social groups. But how is that you decided to interpret the "there good people everywhore between the assholes in the Internet." to "we need to call out people in the most half assed way possible. LETS GO TO TED" ? Because you are right now you are no better than the people that wished that you died instead of Ryan Davis.

Lo-Ping speaks an ugly truth:


It's true. This shit's why Gamergate has Anne Rice, Richard Dawkins, and fucking William Shatner.

Also, the Antis now have multiple groups trying to establish that Jamie Walton is a notorious harasser. Especially because we "bully neuroatypical people" according to Ghazi, and are responsible for every single bad thing that has ever happened to Christine Weston Chandler. Also KLEPEK WAS SMALL POTATOES COMPARED TO WHAT WALTON HAS DONE.

For fuck's sake.

This is quickly turning into a Gaymergate thread. We should get back on topic.

Considering that literally the entire defense of Rapp is "GAMERGAAAAAAATE!!!" this may prove somewhat difficult.

We'll make the attempt, mind.

Never mind that the only reason we ever heard of this beeyotch is that she pissed off goobergrapers with the localization shit. So they dug this shit up, though it's hardly "digging" when she put it in her resume and boasted about it.

It's like if NAMBLA denounced Gamergate and then we had a NAMBLA thread.

Kotaku enters the fray:

Started listening to this as it autoloaded from the youtube vid of her with the mario game. Gave up on it after a coupe of minutes. I haven't kept up with this thread for a few days, but I get the impression she's genuinely fucked in the head? Is she trying to shield her own actions? She seems to be ticking a lot of deviant pervert boxes.

Made me feel ill.

If there's one thing I've taken away from GG, it's that millenials with SJW tendencies are TERRIBLE at PR.

The combination of ego, autism, complete lack of professionalism, and imagined moral superiority makes it great fun to watch them flail when the spotlight is on them.

 

[Cosmos]

Patrick Klepeck cares more about protecting women of the internet like Brianna Wu than Jaime Walton


The Patrick Klepek of Giant Bomb is dead. Is Kotaku's Klepek all the way. Keep going to panels with Brianna Wu, Scoops.

What a gaping asshole. Jamie basically says "Hey, it was really shitty of you to involve me in this when I clearly said I didn't want to be involved" and Patrick is all "Lol, so? What are you gonna do about it? Also, please email me so I can quote mine you some more."

Regardless of the legality of this, it is unquestionably a shitty and unethical thing to do. Not to mention a great way to burn bridges.

 

[Richard Stabone]

Holy shit does Klepek run through the mental gymnastics to downplay how bad that essay is. She is calling for decriminalizing the possession of child pornography. I'm sure some 11-year old wants to see their rape video passed around the internet without any repercussion. And it's terrible to judge another culture. The Taliban cuts off the noses of little girls who dared to learn how to read, who are we to impose our imperialistic views on their culture?

Playing this off as some thought-provoking essay that is a little misguided because she was just an undergrad either means he didn't actually read it or he thinks defending her honor will get him laid.

Also how does this thing play out if the author of that essay is a male?

Cultural relativism is the biggest crock of bullshit. It basically boils down to "It's racist for us to judge other cultures by our standards because all cultures are beautiful and equal."

Fuck all this relativism bullshit, some things are inherently right and some things are inherently wrong. Adults sexualizing children is inherently wrong.

If @Spectator wants to sue over this, I'd be happy to cheer her on.

Apparently, KotakuInAction wants to help, too.

They're talking about signal boosting the Wayne Foundation and getting out stuff like @Spectator's interview with Pakman to raise awareness about the cause it represents. They even advise the users to keep Gamergate discussion out of said help because they don't think that's what's needed right now.

Props to them for it.

Especially because we "bully neuroatypical people" according to Ghazi, and are responsible for every single bad thing that has ever happened to Christine Weston Chandler..

So one of us is Clyde Cash then?

To sperg about vidya games and evel gators?

Not only that but to defend the honor of women like Alison Rapp who is being fired not because of her thesis on CP but definitely because shes a woman being harassed.

Cultural relativism is the biggest crock of bullshit. It basically boils down to "It's racist for us to judge other cultures by our standards because all cultures are beautiful and equal."

Fuck all this relativism bullshit, some things are inherently right and some things are inherently wrong. Adults sexualizing children is inherently wrong.

Cultural relativism is just nothing more than an excuse for these people. As much as how every culture has their own values, not every value they have can actually be good, especially if it's something that can hinder ones life and in the case of this, using cultural relativism to justify pedophilia is just an excuse for these people to whiteknight pedos.

Short version for why the Weebs went nuclear:

Spoiler: Localization Woes and Weebery

You have a game that is designed for weebs, by weebs. It's a game with permanent character death and this makes it so that you really grow attached to your party members, lest you permanently lose them. On top of this, it's in an RPG whose world, as a whole, is rather grimdark, with helps foster the character relations quite a bit. You genuinely grow to feel for these characters, so any sort of editing will be picked up on immediately. Some level of alteration's fine in an adaptation - a great example of this is Frog in Chrono Trigger - he speaks Olde English in the localized version, a new quirk - but his lines are otherwise completely unchanged and his personality and dialogue is surprisingly not changed much.

This is not what happened with the characters in Fire Emblem: Fates. Instead, major things like character motivations were changed, major individual character arcs being flat-out removed for no particular reason, and several characters were flat-out flanderized. A character who liked pickles as a quirk is now sperging about them harder than CWC. Characters with a touching discussion moment now have shit replaced with a string of "........" statements. These dialogue and gameplay changes are done in a way that is more than simple meme-age; the changes are done in such a way that it completely destroys not only immersion, but when it outright fucks with story or gameplay elements. The stupid memes and bad dialogue further just make the work look dated.

Sometimes the changes completely destroy existing precedents as well. A really good example is the male version of Kana; in the localized version, 90% of his finalized S-rank supports end up with him either flat-out rejected or "just friends," which makes it so that the best combat bonuses he can get are tied to a character who he is not romantically linked to, and, in the way the game universe of FE works, cannot ever assign to someone who will (you're only allowed one S-Rank in your entire life, and it's supposed to be to who you marry). In the Japanese version, there is no Rejection segment; Kana winds up married in all of them, and in over half of them, the female character proposes to him.

According to the weebs, over 60% of the game's dialogue was also axed. Yeah, there's pervy content axed too, but for the most part the overpowering majority of it was butchered for the sake of butchering it. The changes are too big and too sweeping to ignore for the sake of gameplay; you can scarcely go far without finding some new area the translation botched, removed content, or so on. A lot of this shit seems increasingly have been done to push an agenda, making it that much worse.

TL;DR: Weebs are pissed because the game took a level of damage to the story and character elements of a fuck-mothering RPG centered around such characterization and interaction.

Actually Frogs speech pattern in Chrono Trigger was wierd because no one else from that time period talked like that. Not even King Guardia or Queen Leene. He also if I recall spoke rudely in the Japanese version. But other than that its fine, because theres more to be upset about in that translation than Frog's speech pattern.

Holy shit does Klepek run through the mental gymnastics to downplay how bad that essay is. She is calling for decriminalizing the possession of child pornography. I'm sure some 11-year old wants to see their rape video passed around the internet without any repercussion. And it's terrible to judge another culture.

Also how does this thing play out if the author of that essay is a male?

Id be willing to give her the benefit of the doubt if she wasnt defending it and said "yeah it was just a thesis" But she didnt, and shes actively defending her position outside of college and even when she was working PR for Nintendo.

https://tweetsave.com/jamiewalton/status/705873824307417090

Im not sure if Im reading this correctly but is she saying he did not actually identify himself as a reporter when he was e-mailing her? If so thats pretty slimy. Thats like a good reason to fire someone at an actual newspaper isnt it?

Edit: I did find a tweet from Jaime that said he identified himself i was wrong.

In any real journalistic field, you'd be drummed out of the profession for unprofessional, unethical shit like this.

Not that you can expect better from a shithole operation like Kotaku.

Meanwhile, people are calling Klepek out for his shit, especially Notch, who gives no quarter:

He also if I recall spoke rudely in the Japanese version. But other than that its fine, because theres more to be upset about in that translation than Frog's speech pattern.

I've actually played multiple different translations of Chrono Trigger. The original, two seperate fanslations - one with a direct translation of the original content, one with generally better westernized dialogue, and the updated official translation in 2008 on DS. Frog's dialogue isn't changed much other than the olde english and the fact that he's somewhat more snarky and sarcastic in the original. You're missing the point of what I was getting at with all that, though - which is that the censorship and changes that were present in the original CT localization ("Stone Soup," the "Flea Vest" and "Charm Top," Ayla's joke towards Marle in the Rainbow Shell quest for example) weren't enough to fuck up the game's story, premise, or overall presentation.
