Caltrops - We Love Katamari





	[quote name="Mysterio Lollerson"][quote name="Worm"]Sure anyone can write anything they want, yes they are allowed, but what RPS wrote was kind of stupid and reaching. Like every time this shit comes up it feels like a cop trying to make any charge he can stick. Can't get him on "indifferent homophobia" because he bothered to put gay people in his game(his mistake, haha) and accepts that they are that way from birth uh well can we charge him with "bi-erasure"? Then you just have everyone in the comments (and you yourself) making him out to be literally Hitler because he doesn't have an intense enough understanding of fags. Though is that necessary? Does everyone need to watch multiple videos of fisting porno to be a 'good person'? To me it's good enough that he understands people are gay from birth and put that in his game, but again it was obviously a mistake and the easiest way to create film, TV, or video games is to include as little diversity as possible.[/quote] Right. As much of a piece of garbage as Claudia Lo is, you've got shitfuck cheerleaders like <a href="https://thinkprogress.org/rimworld-biphobia-harassment-gamergate-3af1a691e50">this asshole</a> piling on. [quote]Game developer defends programming misogyny, biphobia, and ableism into characters[/quote] And that is just the title! It should be noted that absolutely none of that happened. [quote]A controversy reminiscent of GamerGate is brewing in the gaming community, as the designer of a popular game is defending his choice to program some problematic gender stereotypes into his characters.[/quote] Hahahaha 'problematic'. Somebody else said it here, but if the RimWorld guy's idea for percentages and such are so wrong -- shit he took from the Internet -- then I think we'd all love to see either professional asshole Zack Ford or professional shit-stirrer Claudia Lo direct us to where the right studies are. I'm sure they are totally peer reviewed in a way that what the RimWorld guy found weren't. [quote]And given a chance to examine the game’s code, she found even more than she was expecting.[/quote] "Given a chance to examine the code." He doesn't know what given, chance, examine or code means. Amazing. [quote]In a piece for gaming site Rock Paper Shotgun published this week, Lo described how her two male pawns relentlessly hit on her gay female pawn. “Her life is a constant hellish stream of corny pick-up lines and work for the colony,” she wrote. [/quote] This is what Claudia wrote. I haven't played RimWorld. Someone tell me if the game shows "hellish pick-up lines" or if she made all that up in her head. [quote]This is an unusual request. Ceding “editorial control” to the subject of a piece isn’t a thing. Journalists conduct interviews and quote accurately from those interviews as it makes sense to do so in their stories. Anything short of full editorial control results in either a puff piece or outright sponsored content.[/quote] Way to perpetuate that lie. Sylvester didn't want his words to be taken out of context because he knew it was a hit piece. Both RPS and now this reprehensible dot of garbage used the "cede editorial control" line. That means it has to be true!!!!!!! The article goes on and on and includes hilarious bits about how Claudia Lo had to move to Saturn to be safe from the evil gamergaters that were definitely going to rip her apart physically, which they've done to -- what is it now, Zack Jones? Zero women? Oh that's right, zero women. Meanwhile, every time Milo Yiannopoulos goes to speak somewhere you disgusting prudes pull a fire alarm. But it was GamerGate that harasses people, I keep forgetting. These are definitely awesome articles, and we definitely need more of them than updates on what game just came out. I don't know why I didn't see the wisdom of the miserable twat posting nonsense in this discussion, it's so clearly great journalism. Fuck you.[/quote]
