How can one man's ass and ass-related activities go so awry

Hmmm... yes David. And who is the one who caused this?
lolol this guy's so weird and annoying that even Nora, ringleader of the ratking, can't be bothered to pretend she doesn't find the retarded shit he says and does amusing/strange. This guy's like the Dobson of the ratking!
Real talk tho, when NORA is telling you that you're blabbing your mouth too much and has a point it's time to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.
Derek Smart said:Briana, I don't speak for the industry. But as someone who's been in it a long longer than most and who has lots - and lots - of friends, peers, and colleagues in it, I take issue with these comments:
"I'm bitter at the industry forces that created this monster and are choosing to ignore it while it devours the women who stood up to it whole."
"If I quit, and I'm close today, it will be because I got almost no support from the industry itself. They don't care."
All you're doing now is playing the victim card and assigning blame on a group (the "industry") of people who
a) had nothing to do with this "monster" b) already cautioned you, time and time again, to take a step back.
Instead, you've done what you want to do and you've seen the results of that.
It doesn't get better.
And it won't until and unless you disengage from this madness - completely - and go focus on what is the most important thing you can do: make games.
At the end of the day, we're all victims of an industry that has a bunch of loose cannons in it. But for as long as most of us - men and women - have been under the gun, the reason is that it rises and ebbs like a tide, is because we know *when* to disengage.
Fighting fire with fire only results in an uncontrollable inferno. Nobody wins. Least of all the "known" entity (that would be you) who is more visible than the anon tools who, for whatever reason, do this sort of thing all day, every day. You simply cannot compete with that level of commitment while still maintaining a clear head and focusing on earning a living.
Been there, done that, got the Grey hairs to prove it.
I remember a similar discussion (linked below) we had back in October in which I offered advice on what I thought was something you could learn from when you were talking about setting up a fund to fight this sort of thing. You discarded what I took the time to write for your benefit as "unconsciously aggressive and very mansplainy."
In short, you discarded it out of hand.
And as if that weren't enough, you capped it with "It's not personal. It's honest, open, and direct."
According to you. Because that's what works for you.
I invite you to go back and review and similar missive missives by mysle fnad others who have - for years - been in this "industry" proper.
What you may or not be aware of is that people are reading everything you're writing because you are part of the cycle of abuse against women in games. And if it's one thing that these idiots like, it's a live target that engages them on a consistent basis. That never - ever - ends well as you have seen since this whole farce started.
Some nitwits want your likeness in a game? So what? Have you actually looked online to see how much crap is out there in that vein? Most of us who either are in the limelight, have been or even worthy of note, have been there. Nobody cares. And neither should you. If I went on social media - or even on my blog - and lamented about some nitwit writing some shit about me, creating a meme, video, or whatever - I would NEVER get any work done, let alone be where I am today. Most of us have been there. It's a badge of honor. We wear it well because it proves that we can rise above the noise.
You need to learn how to rise above the noise.
While I appreciate the fact that being suddnely thrust into the limelight - and for the wrong reasons - is akin to a deer in headlights, it should be the moment that allows you to think about your actions and how they will impact your life.
You will never - ever - know what happens to ANY of these dimwits. But I guarantee you - as you have seen - that if you spill your coffee while balancing a piece of toast on your head as you ride a bike down a one-way street during a clown festival, they'll know about it. They'll write about it. And only because they know you'll see it. Then you'll respond. And the fun ensues.
Coming to social media for a group hug isn't going to solve your problems. Especially if you find yourself surrounded by people who, for the most part, are only going to say what you want to hear and not what you need to hear.
Hear this: Get on with your life. Stay off the social media side of this fire and focus on your work. Let the "industry" hold you in the esteem with which we do the men and women who are a part of it, contribute to it, and are part of the cycle that is progress. Be remembered in the "industry" at large for your games and for your contribution to the "industry" and not for this farce that, by all accounts, is well past its expiration date.
I hope that you rethink your approach and in so doing, stop blaming the "industry" for something we didn't have a hand in. Nobody is going to bother trying to help someone who thinks they have it all figured out.
This may all just come across as being "unconsciously aggressive and very mansplainy." In which case, feel gree to disregard and discard it out of hand.
Be well
Yahtzee said:[...] words and phrases that carry tension only gain more tension and more power when their usage is policed; it's only when they are used casually and mockingly that that power is taken away. We mock to show that we are unafraid, gallows humor and all that, it's a very human thing. Slurs are routinely reclaimed by the people targeted by the slurs, just as PC gamers reclaimed my ironic insult.
But I suppose that argument only applies if the term 'PC Master Race' were exclusively being used ironically in a mocking context, and it is true that some PC gamers seem to take it worryingly seriously. Wilde makes the point that they may not be fully appreciating the context behind the term. But even that, in it's own way, could be a positive thing. Because the Nazis were dicks, and they don't deserve to have power over our language anymore. If some millennial can honestly use the term 'PC Master Race' for years without even knowing that it's a Nazi reference, then I'd chalk that up as a win. That's how badly you lost, Mr. Hitler - your armies were destroyed, your nasty ideals have been condemned, and now we've taken all your favorite words away. Suck it, Dolfy.

This is almost certainly Vordrak, unless we have a new GG cow that's pissed off and wants to destroy the farms?

There once was a time when someone talking about an anthropomorphic hedgehog fucking human women was considered fucked up. Now? It seems rather tame.https://kiwifarms.net/attachments/upload_2016-7-25_2-27-29-png.118690/
Well, back when Assange was leaking documents on positions these people and organizations didn't agree with, he was a "hero" and champion for informing the public. Now that stuff is being leaked that paints their "chosen one", the Hill-Dawg, in a negative light he's clearly the devil.Who the fuck are these morons that they didn't realize Julian Assange was a complete piece of shit literally years ago?
The same deviant who thought it was okay to share this.

When do we reckon he last washed his socks? Weeks, months, years, or geological aeons?
