Do you still think that #GamerGate is a spontaneous movement against game industry corruption? Zoe Quinn has some screenshots to show you.

Oh man, so many classes are already called, what’s left?

I’ll take a gnomish Social Justice Rogue and go for the Giant Killer prestige class. I should be able to get all the feats by 6th level. Trolls are giants, even in Fifth Edition, although their regeneration has grown with every new edition. They started at 3 hp a round, beginning 3 rounds after first injury, and now they’re up to 10 hp at the beginning of each round, unless they were injured by fire or acid damage on the previous round.

If it’s Warriors people want, let ’em play warriors. Not my job to point out the Warrior has smaller Hit Dice and fewer feats than the Fighter.

And sadly I notice we’re still missing a Social Justice Bard. Or would that be David?

Wouldn’t David be the Social Justice DM?

I think Bina called Social Justice Bard a few pages back.

strivingally – We do already have a Social Justice Troll which I had pictured as a Changeling: The Dreaming type troll. So sure pick a system, I’ve always been partial to Exalted and Shdowrun myself. A Social Justice Street Shaman could be a lot of fun.

Sparky – You are correct Bina did. This is why I always keep ridiculously over detailed campaign notes. I have the memory of goldfish.

Come on, folks… I think the very title of this post is a perfect example of an absolutely disastrous flaw that, more often than not, seems to be overlooked. Imagine if this was 2 years ago, and an article came out entitled “So you still think Occupy Wall Street is a legitimate grassroots uprising against the appallingly corrupt banking system? Well, take a look at the stoned buffoonary of this hand-picked group of dipshit hippies!”. I’m willing to bet most of you would scoff at such a transparent attempt to slander the legitimacy of a movement by making a display out of the useless, unfortunately very visible minority. So why is this sort of thing given a pass in this context? Identity politics poisons all meaningful discourse – please remember that regardless of what side you find yourself on.

Cassandrakitty – Something Awful predates 4chan, by a few years but the guy who created 4chan was also a forums goon on SA. A lot of the early posters on 4chan were also goons as well, the whole thing was originally and anime and manga discussion board that slowly mutated into the amorphous mass of awful it is today.

In the early days it was mostly just a bunch of geeks talking about cartoons though. I miss those days sometimes.

My memory has a tendency to remember small bits of trivia and totally forgt important things.

I kinda really want this whole Social Justice tabletop RPG to be a thing that really exists, now.

So tell me, J, if this is all some grassroots movement about ending corruption in video game journalism, why the focus on Zoe Quinn, who is not a video game journalist? Why the focus on her sexual life, on doxxing her, on posting nude pictures of her? Why isn’t anyone focusing on actually doing something about journalistic corruption? The Occupy movement had an actual focus of protesting economic policies. Where are the people protesting journalistic corruption? And if this isn’t all about harrassing a woman, then why isn’t there a huge outcry and attempt at distancing from the legitimate protestors?

RE J’s comment, see my comment about gaslighting people for fun and 4chan in the other thread.

(Aside – it’s pretty funny how poorly that strategy is working out for them so far this time.)

I knew some of the local Occupiers, and they’re good peeps who’ve been doing social justice things and rabble rousing for a long time.
I think Occupy may have been the start of a much longer process of needed change.
As Ben Franklin said,” What good is a human baby?” It was a lost skirmish, but the war’s not over.
I have heard NOTHING good about 4 Chan. Nothing. I call it the Mos Eisley of the net.

TL;DR fuck off, you’re excusing abusers.

The issue is that if you cut out the troublemakers there’s nothing left.

QFT!

We aren’t missing the forest for the trees. It is just that every fucking tree in the forest appears to be a scumbag.

@Stodat –

I asked what that had to do with gamergate, and he said because he doesn’t really care, she’s crazy. I asked if he felt that somehow justified the rape threats.
He said his point was to take what Zoe Quinn says with a grain of salt.

So, he just said he sown’t care about rape if the victim is crazy?

Is it my pain pills, or does thea seem wrong to you, tooo?

HE avoided the question. He dinette answer in it jusetiveid the rape thereoate. And the threats are there for anyeionw to see, so ZQ dosn’t need toe lie about them. He dien’t4e answer the “does it justify” question, because he said he doesn’t believe ZA.

Still bad, & blames the victims.
