Fuck you, you fucking fuck.

Social media allows users to gain access to information and communicate with one another about it on any subject that might come to mind. By prohibiting sex offenders from using those websites, North Carolina with one broad stroke bars access to what for many are the principal sources for knowing current events, checking ads for employment, speaking and listening in the modern public square, and otherwise exploring the vast realms of human thought and knowledge. These websites can provide perhaps the most powerful mechanisms available to a private citizen to make his or her voice heard.

- Packingham v. North Carolina, 582 U.S. ___ 2017

This was a 8-0 decision, by the by, you ignorant sack of shit.

This isn't a new precedent either:

Yes, private companies and the public square can overlap. When they do, the public square takes precedence. How is this difficult?

Great, solid find. I like Packingham because it addresses social media specifically, and fairly high profile because of that. Which you'd think someone who lives on Twitter and likes to sneer about free speech might, you know, be familiar with.

Why do I get the feeling he's never played a single Witcher game?

And what happened to not using Henry Cavill's name? Is he no longer the Voldemort of the month?

Hell, at this point I'd be surprised if Bob has played anything not on a Nintendo console. He's way in over his head here.

This bugged me with a coworker who spoke about wanting to "supprot CRA" but I can't get them to watch a bollywood film I've recommended. You know, a LITERAL asian movie made by LITERAL asians.

I mean give me something like "Who Killed Captain Alex?" over Black Panther any day. If you want to talk about Crazy Rich Asians, watch Baahubali parts 1 & 2. It frustrates me that in an age we can watch movies made literally from other countries the "celebrate diversity" crowd just wants their safe hollywood pablum color corrected instead of supporting real industries from those diverse places.



Yeah Brie Larson is one of those I just don't see the appeal of. Is Hollywood just going through a forehead phase right now? (looking at you, Daisy Ridley)

The funny thing is, Edgar Wright found the best solution to Larson's fivehead around a decade ago. The movie cringed the fuck out of me and does so even more now with its prescience about annoying Big Bang Theory "geek culture" but credit where credit is due.

So I was looking into Bob's recent brain-turd regarding PAX, and I found this gem:

A former staffer is suing the Escapist for Libel, and while only one has been named so far, the reason has fucking everything to do with Moviebob.

Former contributor to The Escapist Magazine, Robert B. Marks – who is also a published author – posted a message over on the The Escapist forums making his intentions clear that he intended to file a libel suit against the new owners of The Escapist, Enthusiast Gaming, for remarks made by the new editor-in-chief, Russ Pitts, who claimed that The Escapist had become a breeding ground and recruiting tool for the Alt-Right before it was purchased by Enthusiast Gaming.

Yesterday it was announced that the lawsuit was, indeed, going forward, mostly because the same brain trust who hired Chipman back are now backing his comments 110% and claiming that The Escapist was nothing but an Alt-Right haven because Gamergate. Instead of redacting their comments, Russ Pitts, the current head of The Escapist, has fucking doubled down on this shit:

“When I inherited Escapist, it had been abandoned for over a year. The technology running the site hadn’t been updated in over four years. The front page hadn’t seen a major update in almost seven years. Everyone was fired. There was no staff. Just volunteer moderators and Yahtzee.

“They sold the computers. The desks. Everything was gone. It was ready for the dustbin. And before any of that – before was skinned alive and left to rot – it became a cesspit of the worst kind of cynical garbage content, and home to a community of head-in-ass societal rejects who would rather burn the game industry down than share it with women, or people of color, or people like you and me.

“That’s what I inherited. That’s what was left. And in spite of all of that, I’m hopeful. Because that – all of that badness – didn’t just happen. The wind didn’t make it happen. Little elves with magic wands and pointy hats didn’t make it happen. People made it happen. People made the decisions, cut the corners, closed the doors, turned off the lights, stopped caring, stopped believing… it wasn’t magic or fate, it was people. And if people can make it that bad, then people can make it better. I have to believe that. I’ve spent my life believing that there’s nothing people can’t set their minds to and accomplish. Because all it takes is one.

“If you believe, then maybe someone else will believe. And then there’s two. And then another. And suddenly this giant steaming pile of shit doesn’t look so big. Three people and a shovel. And then more. And then more. And suddenly, where there was nothing but dust and bad memories there’s a website again.

“So I need you to believe for me. I need you to look up here, at me, at these guys, and believe. I believe. They believe. That’s four shovels. Samantha, Christina, Anthony – three more. Shamus Young, and Grey and Cory. Adam, and Rob who you don’t know yet, but you will. That’s a lot of shovels. And there will be more. So long as you believe.

“I started this journey ten months ago because I didn’t want the last chapter of The Escapist to be its final chapter. Ten months ago, I was the only one who believed it could come out of that darkness. That started me on a journey that led me here with all of you. Do you believe?”

So right out the gate here, we have these assholes slandering their former editorial staff, insulting their customers, and generally showing that they're squarely on-level with Moviebob politically. What's baffling about this one is that this isn't something that should have come to this. It would have taken zero fucking effort to retract this shit or apologize, and instead they've moved forward with full force. Even Derek Smart called this shit out for being fucking dumb.

Nothing about their decisions here makes a fucking lick of sense. They turned on the audience that was with them when the site died to chase an audience that will never forgive them for allowing GG discussion in the first place back in 2014, they've thrown money at Moviebob, when he barely breaches 60K views a video on Youtube, and turning the site into another ResetERA or Waypoint isn't going to work when those sites already have an installed base and do the exact same fucking thing. It just started, and they're already catching a fucking Libel suit.

I give the Escapisr a year, tops. The best part is that we'll get to watch Moviebob lose his job again!

 

[Malagor the dank omen]

Everytime is sweeter than the previous one. You cannot deny it because Movieblob will get what he deserves and he will go into another twitter rampage making himself look like an ass

So I need you to believe for me. I need you to look up here, at me, at these guys, and believe. I believe. They believe. That’s four shovels. Samantha, Christina, Anthony – three more.

Good. More shovels to dig your graves quicker.

So it'd seem like, despite their "no-politics" stance, the New Management will tolerate Bobby's insane hot takes until the internet boils over, and the pressure cooker explodes like firework. Gonna be fun.

He does. He's said that before. He considers himself a "journalist" because of his blogging.

he's a journalist in the same way brianna wu is a game developer. He only does it for attention and money, nothing more

If they were smart. They would have just apologized about the comments, and try to reach an agreement and avoided such an event to happen. But no, Russ arrogantly thinks this lawsuit will not affect them. Chipman shouldn't that far behind with the same thoughts about it.

These guys have ZERO knowledge of the fucking importance of PR. And I don't think they care to learn. They have their heads so far up their asses that any sign of a threat they'll downplay it, or flat out ignore it.

How many times do these fucking people have to stumble on the same rock before their skulls break and they bleed out? Seriously I can't wrap my head around this. Nothing about it screams good case for them. There was one escape, and Russ ignored it. Anybody will two brain cells can see what's wrong. I guess the guy from the video was right. These motherfuckers will use emotional stands rather than factual.

 

[The Great Chandler]

Moviebob and his cohorts are the kind of people that won't stop being stupid no matter how convincing you tell them otherwise.

 

[BScCollateral]

He does. He's said that before. He considers himself a "journalist" because of his blogging.

Sadly, he's probably right.

I love that The Escapist finds itself in trouble again because of the fucktardness of Bob Chipman. You think that they would learned from getting a FTC investigation back in 2014 because of Bob's slanderous accusations would make them learn this guy is about as stable as a methed out monkey strapped with a pressure-cooker bomb.

This is a whole new level of idiocy. You have been an idiot on the internet Bob. It's there forever and it's not going to go away.
Now suck it up Bob "Mengele" Chipman

My question is what exactly would get Bob to lose his job at The Escapist again? I could say the James Gunn shit, but everyone has moved on from it.

 

[Mola Ram]

As utterly delicious as it would be to see Bob's (and Russ Pitt's) moronic jibber-jabber become the torpedoes that sink the USS Escapist II, talk is super cheap when it comes to filing lawsuits. I'll believe it when I see it actually get docketed and survive a motion to dismiss.

Wait enough time and Bob will find another hill to die on for his stupid causes. That, or he fucks up the company and goes down with it

Telling people to kill themselves. I'd tell Bob to neck himself, but we would need a crane to do so.
