I hope you know you're tying my hands with that respect clause.
[quote name="Injustice"]I don't believe anyone should ever have to refrain from complaining about game mechanics they don't like, just in case someone else gets it in their head to throw acid on Zoe Quinn's face (again? she's not a handsome woman, I don't know how she got that way). It sounds like you're implying - in a friendly, non-judgmental way - that since our enemies on The Left (let's call them Cobra Command, it sounds less like a paranoid fantasy and more like a cartoon I still watch) are a bunch of primitive screwheads when it comes to censorship, it's okay for us to act like screwheads, too, lest we end up with a screwhead gap. I <s>want you to choke to death on your own cunt hairs</s> <i>respectfully</i> disagree. I don't care what sort of liberal agenda motivated this woman to write her article. I don't care how many twitter's Caelyn S's who were never going to buy the game anyway decided to announce they were never buying the game anyway after the developer made a tool of himself in the comments. What I care about is what's on the page. And what's there is pretty good, by Rock Paper etc. standards (and, let's face it, by Wordpress-era Caltrops standards, too). I would be proud to publish it on my icycalm's arcade fetish website, and I wouldn't even feel the need to insert a bunch of dickish little asides like so much actual icycalm. If anything, Lo's article left me hungry for a similarly critical examination of how the mechanics in Gone Home work to strengthen female bonds and stop sisters from clawing each others' eyes out like ostriches or whatever. But that's never going to happen, because Gone Home doesn't have any fucking mechanics, and just by saying that another angel got their wings. Because they were murdered by a gamergater on my behalf.[/quote]
