NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

What does he think is going to happen if he and the whole 5 other people on that letter threaten to quit? :story:
It's like that scene in "Team America" where they're getting shot down in their fighter planes and they say "We were helpless up there without an actor!!!" They'll be helpless without a game journalist :lol:
Those EA press releases won't rewrite themselves, you know?

Is Waypoint even a big deal when it comes to games journalism? Does it contribute a good chunk of Vice's daily clicks?

Everyone I know IRL shares Kotaku links mostly.

It's pretty much unknown outside of SocJus circles and Giant Bomb fans (the popular origin of Patrick Klepek/Austin Walker). I imagine it's completely unprofitable for VICE considering their staffing levels (5 full-time people+freelancers) and internally justified as an experiment/new brand attempt. They cater to a very specific niche (the type of person you see on ResetEra).

So basically Klepek and co. are begrudgingly spurning what's essentially a "do what you please" job for REEEsetEra asspats?

This IS the best timeline.

IIRC they already fired one of the founding members, Mike Diver, a month or two ago.
If you didn't know him, he's one of those totally obsessed UK based SJWs. Think Dale but male and dumber.

They did lay him off, he was running what was "VICE Gaming" which was pretty bare bones. Mike Diver isn't really even a video game guy, he's a music writer. Once Waypoint fully took hold they got rid of him, like you said, he was at their UK satellite office and not in NY like Austin Walker is.

according to a recent WSJ article VICE will be seeking to save money: https://archive.fo/Ou2Kj

I've been away from gaffot drama for a few weeks now. Can anyone give me a quick tl;dr on what the hell is happening with Klepcuck and co?
 
They also want to get rid of this document because it legally says you're not allowed to get offended (literally an anti-triggered agreement): https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4203989-Non-Traditional-Workplace-Agreement.html

Sorry for :offtopic:, but:

"We're a superbly progressive publication celebrating only the finest of feminism and transethnofabulous values, so don't pay heed to us when we ask you to do the seediest, most depraved shit we can muster to get dem clicks.

Someone at Vice was accused of sexual harassment or shit like that and Resetera had a preemptive autism meltdown thinking that the fine people at Waypoint wouldn't take that chance for some moral grandstanding. They did in fact drop a passive aggressive statement and Klepboy is the new God of ERA.

Klepek claims him and the other writers will quit if Vice doesn't meet their demands, whatever they are.

I'm not even sure if I want that to happen. I like having really idiotic journalists working together under the same umbrella, if something like that were to happen they would spread like cancer everywhere.
 
If their concern is being affiliated with sex pests in journalism, where are they even going to go? Every single gaming journalism site at this point has been shown to have multiple known offenders in their midst with no one doing anything about it.

Make their own site and fund it via Patreon. They have exactly the kind of audience that would cough up as much money as they wanted for that.
 
It comes up "hairstyle" when I try to replicate it, but still funny. (sorry for making this a Patrick thread) https://twitter.com/CheekiScrump/status/931894197489152000 (https://archive.fo/hAFCh) (webm attached)

Cindi Mayweather of The Bore apparently got this insane PM from ResetEra http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=45218.msg2340968#msg2340968 (https://archive.fo/GdhAX#selection-6321.0-6321.17)
You can't be LGBT and black because black is an actual identity and trans is not

You may be able to get killed and the blacks that kill you may be able to get away with it.

But you get more money than blacks of standard status do.

More charity from white liberals.

More laws protecting you from white liberals. (They can call me nicca, call you he or she they can be fined or jailed)

You have a higher chance of employment because of the focus on diversity

When you get out the ghetto just like all the other sell outs you give nothing back.

There's no benefit to you being LGBT in regards to the black community other than more brainwashing and breaking the family.

Homosexuality was declassified in the early 70's to destroy blacks, klan members and anti-black tycoons were all in that meeting it was declassified as a mental illness due to a vote, not evidence. Not only that there was a meeting with racists the week before discussing blacks integrating and winning elections

In the 70's it backfired because blacks wouldn't budge and whites did, also nambla marching with them caused issues.

Today they spend billions of dollars to try and force LGBT on blacks worldwide not just in America including threats to cut economy's aid off.

Please tell me why you think being LGBT and black is a thing? If the white females pushing feminism (radical anti-men kind not the normal kind) along with the black family being damaged, was to lesser effect when you decided you were trans, you likely would have rejected the thought.

There's no science yet backing it and there's no coincidence about the money made to specifically turn black people toward the LGBT.

You say you are dedicated to your people but you can't even keep track of your race outside your bubble to see an obvious trap.

As I said in the 80's hip hop thread when Susan b Anthony went to Fredrick Douglass, Douglass told her no, and it got blacks the right to vote and white women got it later.

Blacks of America have been brainwashed, been socialized not to give back, socialized to fight for every other group but themselves, never has fighting for anything along side being black has worked

In the post in the hip hop thread I even lately it out historically, it doesn't work. You either have to chose to be black or be distracted. You chose to he distracted so you're contributions to blacks in America let alone in general is likely zero.

You also probably scold white males about low wages and illegals/refugees taking jobs but never bring up how those same illegals since the 70's were brought in Mass to black communities intentionally and the damage it's caused. Just like the white people do. You never bring up blacks in the wage/job argument.

I'm not saying you're not black, I am saying however you are detrimental. You have no identity because you think you can have two. You likely did more to support LGBT over blacks, you contribute nothing to the black family problem, you will likely obstruct someone trying to have a black first movement even if it proves to be effective.

Again you wouldn't even have been trans if your circumstances were different. It's all a game, they are constantly trying to find the golden key to prove trans is an actual identity, they still haven't even found the gay one yet

Your best excuse and only excuse is you get beat up and maybe killed. That's actually bad yes, but you have vastly more advantages over blacks outside of that, especially if the city you're in isn't majority black. Excluding atlanta.

You have vastly more privilege than I and it's due to your other claimed Identity, which I don't have the privilege of using because unlike guys such as yourself, I'm no sell out, I know history, I know what happened decades ago, I know about the 2012 Africa budget, it's all a game and you decided to ride it toward the good life while the rest of us suffer.

It's not even that I dislike you. I don't mind a trans person who paid their own money to do something just like someone pays their own money to skydive off the plane, but you are actively pushing it as a legit identity, support tax payers paying for others like you, and will continue to ask "what's wrong with it" as rich whites use it as a WEAPON against straight blacks man and women.

Do you think that a country in Africa should have aid cut because they don't except LGBT? Notice how Africa reacted, by tripling down. But that's not stopping then from spending billions more.

You got more rights than I do, you can get away with more than I do, you can get good living via diversity affirmative action.

Meanwhile in Detroit, which btw you've given no money to, yes I know you didn't, because you "multi-identity" guys are socialized by white people to not give a shit about blacks.

Let me see what you think is contributing. You probably back blm. Which hasn't done anything to fix any problems but protest with what the white funders want them to protest.

You likely though marching against the statues were good as well, because those darn Confederates right?

Ahhh, no see that gives you an excuse to say you helped black people for the next few years. But this statues don't solve Chicago, Detroit, st.louis, d.c., schools closing down, poverty, increasing gang culture, lack of jobs. You clearly are for the black man just like Whitely.

No, no you're likely to have given good money to aclu or LGBT organizations, maybe funds for Hispanics to fight trump, not black people.

Why? Because you are a sell out, and don't give a shit and as the Pro-black and Pan-American movements continue getting millions of members you are going to see that the sell outs won't get to join, they will continue to reject the LGBT because you are basically as much of a weapon against blacks as illegal immigrants are.

What's ironic is the gangsta rap hip hop, as detrimental as it is, likely helped blacks reject the LGBT trap further as much as I dislike it.

You work for whitey unconsciously while we suffer in the background and the truth is: you don't care.....

Thank you for understanding, and maybe you'll choose to be black in the future.

I have no words for this: https://www.resetera.com/threads/a-...ers-or-but-the-future-refused-to-change.6684/ (https://archive.fo/8awhC)

Not going to bother even trying to read this shit, but it counts for the hottest thread on the gaming board right now. Also "women", yeah right. :story:: https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-women-criticise-sexualised-character-designs.4483/

Translation: "I'm a whiny, cowardly, insecure and probably ugly or plain woman child with tons of body issues. And I'd rather make entitled rants where I project my bitchy insecurities on fictional women that dare be more attractive than I will ever be, than attempt to find any actual ways to boost my crappy self-esteem and be a better person."

Also she should ditch the "we", because not all of us women agree with her. I don't and I'd love it if I could smack her in the mouth for speaking over all of us and acting like we women are delicate princesses who get TRIGGERED at the sight of anything sexy.
