And to think I laughed when
@Optimus Prime called them a bunch of cultists.
A long while back, out of pure boredom and curiosity, I actually went and read as much of that Scientologist bullshit I could find. All I can say is it's better to watch the South Park episode about Xenu or whoever the fuck the space god shithead is because they at least cut out the fact
it's literally all just inconceivably boring sci fi.
But that bastard Hubbard structured his religion of himself just like a cult - if they don't manipulate traumatized or the easily gullible into actually believing throwing money away hand over fist is going to
actually bring about spiritual enlightenment, they guilt them into staying by pretty much holding them by the balls (probably literally, too). They get drawn in by the actually sane sounding shit, but then when it goes fucking whack they've made it so you are too invested to go back - your life would be destroyed by them.
That's why I attribute anti-GG/SJW fanatics to being like that of cult members. GG exploded initially
because of how interwoven everything and everybody was, such that if one piece fell (which was Zoe Quinn not realizing her ex knew a little more than she thought),
the whole system would feel the repercussions. They say the appealing public spiels to make themselves look good when in reality it's all self-serving.
And this shit about Rapp? As I said before, they don't care about Rapp directly - it's the precident her firing sets. It could be Zoe Quinn all over again - her bullshit caused the destruction of the entire gaming journalism scene as far as the SJWs were concerned, because so many of their advantages and strongest supporters were removed from play.
It's "control the narrative" all over again - this time, it's the localization in the big name companies, not game journalism. They want to control the games themselves in a time where there is
heavy foreign content popularized within the western market (partly due to homegrown IPs being rather shit lately and Japan producing amazing things like Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans
which is already under fire for not being kiddy enough in the final episode...when somebody has literally died a brutal death in
every single episode).
Hell, with the way gaming multiplayer is heading towards drowning everything in class-based team multiplayer and
that shitshow already having GG triggers with Tracer's ass
existing in Overwatch, they're already trying to dig talons into next gen gaming as we speak.
Dan "Laurelai's Boi Bitch" Olson going on about how there's no difference between real people and fictional characters and somehow Alison Rapp being a pedo supporter means that Gamergate is Pedos because oh god Dan's lack of logic broke my brain and now I can't ride a bike anymore.
Also fuck me, I never should have doubted
@Null about the possibility of the Rapp thing blowing up. Dude is batting 5.0 for calling lolcow meltdowns and personality issues in advance.
No difference between real and fictional people?
Isn't that textbook delusions? I distinctly remember that being the murderer's reasoning in the
Psych episode involving the Spanish soap opera and that damn nail gun.
Why the hell they were not aware of this is anyone guess, NoA is a disaster management wise. This is the kind of shit that is totally in the ball of the Northamerican branch of Nintendo, way above localization and distribution.
In truth, it's possibly one of the greatest ironies - Nintendo
established the idea of handheld gaming with the Game Boy. Now, in an era of smartphone apps, they struggle to maintain the family focused trajectory of consoles, whereas PS4 and Xbox have become more dedicated mainsteam gamer machines for shooters or more bloody stuff.
