Quoting Ian “incel corner” miles Cheong
 
Also the comic is right, GGers are more offended that Rome total war has women in it than that Telltale fucked over every single one of its employees
 
@Turkeynomster  
Lmao GG pioneered the use of targeted harrasment against people online, don’t act like “boycotting” is your only tactic, although I get why you don’t want to advertise it as one of your strats

LAWSUIT! Diversity & Comics (Richard C. Meyer) VS. Mark Waid Regarding Antarctic Press/ Jawbreakers
 
GG and CG are pretty intertwined with how the elites have treated people by throwing labels and slandering anyone that talks against them as a bigot and even attack smaller companies that don’t tow their line.
 
Something a lot of wish would happen more. These people take pride in defaming people and now, Waid’s big mouth finally got him and probably Marvel comic in trouble.
 
There is so a great vid by Rekieta law  
Which has a long, but good breakdown on the situation. Imagine his defense: “It doesn’t matter what Meyer says, he’s a BIGOT!”  
Pretty much anyone on twitter who thinks Mark has a chance, they are in serious denial.

Controversial things usually face larger scale negative attention than those who don’t. It has little to do with gamergate any much so that they propagate the controversy by giving it focus that some harassers take note of.
 
Not once has targeted harrasment been approved as a tactic, but you can’t really prevent it entirely with the way information spreads. “Pioneered”… please, to think targeted harassment only happened after 2013 is to seriously distort history to fit a specific narrative. You know what, bring out the evidence if you really want to make your case; “google it”, “educate yourself” or any variant of such will not be entertained. While you’re at it, drop the instigative attitude.

Look, if you want to wear the label “historically accurate”, then you better bring your A-game with it. It better be historically accurate, or else.
 
I myself don’t play the Total War games but I know what it’s like. I mean, this is the same reason Battlefield 5 got all the controversy. They should’ve called it under a different title. I mean, they made Black Ops with its stupid gadgets but they don’t go around with “historically accurate” in their name.

Thing Total War wouldn’t be much big of issue if not for tone deaf response comunity manager.  
Why its always community managers causing or are involved drama and PR disaster while their job should be about preventing that?

Battlefield 5 has the “i couldnt just go tell my daughter brittish soldiers werent female in ww2” problem. (why they didnt just make a whole chapter about the russian front and heavily feature the women that fought there is another question).
 
Rome 2 took a thing that is rare when we talk about history as a whole and made it common. 50% chance for some factions while for rome its some 20% apparently.
 
Their answer is the same that you can use for arguing that you should have early firearms units featured in every faction. They might have exised somewhere sometime.
 
There might be some people complaining about obscure details but that wont be any huge backlash.

Those are same people who ignored african colonial solders serving in Entete armies sake focusing on token group of force what arrived at frontlines at end of war in BF1.

Or in BF1 they could have done the “German East Africa” (even after German East Africa fell to the Entante xD) Campaign (would have been cool to see it from the german perspective). It would have everything pretty much. Regular fighting and guerilla warfare and might make people actually learn something about history.

I honestly think he made that story up for sympathy cred. And with today’s Russian hysteria as of late, I can imagine he’d been label some kind of “sympathizer” or what have you by whatever outlet needs the clickbait.

@Lord Seraph  
With that, you can tell the judge was bought off in some way.
 
He threw out all their evidence because it was damaging to them, and on the day of sentencing they weren’t even there. Any normal judge would have found them in guilty, but not a Canadian SocJudge.
 
And besides that; Zack is going for one with a Jury, so the they will be a huge difference, especially with Waid’s prior action and the scummy Lawyer he hired doesn’t help.

Saw that before. Yeah. Mark Judge turned out to be more objectionable then 90% of jounros.
 
And he’s right about the title. As soon as you question “M’lady” It was ad hominies and personal attacks.

Companies like Cruchyroll and Funimation will be the ones suffering if they decide to put their agenda into anime where it doesn’t belong, and people will just pirate it so they don’t give them a penny.

“Saying videos games are violent is as accurate as saying books are violent”  
Doesn’t make sense, they both are violent
 
Also “Gamers have absolutely demolished Anita Sarkissian’s arguments”  
BEN SHAPIRO CURBSTOMPS INFANT WITH FACTS AND LOGIC
 
Someone tell that loser author to read some feminist theory  
Sure #Notall games have misogynistic elements which reneforce patriarchal world-views*, but many popular mainstream games do, similar to movies. Sure a lot of Anita’s critique aren’t really that good, but this is a ducking terrible argument to make
 
*Patriarchy harms men too, see how society reacts when a man is raped by a woman
