I could only watch like a few minutes of this, but didn't the guy say "...fuck you over..."? Like, in the sense of making sure you get your (nonviolent) comeuppance in like the courts or vis-a-vis your reputation, or something? Like, in a justifiable way? "Fucking one over" is not "fucking one up." The former is petty, the latter is physically violent.

I feel like Tf00t should know the difference, since he "fucked over" VenomFangX, but presumably neither fucked him up nor plain fucked him. Presumably.

Maybe he says it later on. I don't know; I couldn't watch. Tf00t is just too bizarre, now. I mean, of all the people to just transparently make shit up, and after all those debunking videos. Is this just the payoff on a 5-year long con?

I somehow made it to about 8 minutes in the background, and it got annoying. And Mr. Thunderfoot changes it to "fuck you up." Ostensibly this is a pity party, like "where's MY supporters? This guy threatened me just like Anita was threatened?!?" And I don't know. I've never had a youtube channel or anything, but when I used to write for a Sega site, I received death threats from American fanboys when I criticized the Japanese Dreamcast launch titles (or lack thereof.) I shrugged it off, but looking back, they had my whole name, and certain proto-blogs that pretty much said where I lived.

Zest, you dissed Pen Pen TriIcelon? You cad!


infinite zest - 2015-01-29

I actually said that Pen Pen was enjoyable, but that it didn't feel like a flagship launch title the way that Nintendo always had a Mario right out of the gate, just introducing a bunch of random characters that wouldn't stick around as mascots like Sonic. And Virtua Fighter 3 was great, but there wasn't a Mario 64 to tide people over, and the only thing that worked as an adventure game was Godzilla, which I did say was the worst game I had ever played. It was a shitty launch, and I said that if Sony went with DVD format and could play movies, even a single fighting game would crush the Dreamcast if Sega didn't get their act together. That pissed a lot of people off who were waiting around for the American release of the system, which DID have the flagship titles it deserved.

This shitheads videos constantly show up in my recommended vids on YT, and from what I can tell he hasn't made a video NOT about Anita Sarkeesian in, like, almost a year.

Jesus fucking christ, if that isn't losing your shit in spectacular fashion, I don't know what is.


Unmerciful Crushing Force - 2015-01-29

Oh thundy...used to create some interesting if arrogant videos on atheism and now is just plain arrogant.

What is it about the whole gamergate thing that consumes people whole and makes them unable to talk about anything else? One of my favorite podcasts used to be a good E/N source of guys shooting the shit and then, around gamergate hitting the fan, he updates once every other month and has to talk about it for an hour.

The only channel I follow that has been able to stay somewhat okay about it has been UnknownArchive, I guess.

They're getting roundly rejected by society at large on an issue that they feel 100% right. Emphasis on "feel". Oh Lordy, this guys are rules by their felings of entitlement unfulfilled and the unfairness of it all.

Resentment + lack of acknowledgement of the justice of said resentment = obsession.

There's a guy on Twitter called "Daddy Warpig" or something. He and everyone he retweets keep talking about GG in war metaphors, churning out photoshopped propaganda posters, and spouting strategies to "burn" those they dislike (I don't know if they've started using the word "heresy" yet or not). Their tweets are either childish or like an Alzheimers-stricken Newt Gingrich trying to write up another talking points memo for the GOP to retake DC by force.

They're incredibly akin to Fox News' spin department. They'll claim their opposition is violent while using images of people pointing machine guns at the viewer for their website backgrounds. They also love to take offense at language they use regularly. In a paraphrased version of what goes on:

GG'er: "Man, fuck those SJW's."
RandomPerson: "Dude, fuck you."
GG'er: "I WAS JUST THREATENED WITH RAPE! REPORT HIM! REPORT HIM!"

To be honest, I'm not overall very impressed by anyone on any side and actually side slightly more with the notyourshield types. There was one video done by a rather reasonable young woman who argued on the basis of freedom of speech for why she gave her agreement with the fundamental arguments. I'm down with that as opposed to those who seem to stop just short of demanding legislative action because they're unhappy how about something not meeting to every criteria they set out for.

To make sure no one twists what I say here's my take: SOME GGers actually make some cogent arguments.

None of the anti-GGers should be harassed and those who do are fucking dicks who screw over their own salient points with bullshit.

A few of the prominent anti-GG folk like Briana Wu and Anita also screw over their arguments by faulty and selective reporting (and arguably hypocritical if we look at Revolution 60's character designs, but I'm sure its a fine game) and it seems like so many on that bandwagon get offended at any slight, however minor, preferring to silence any speech they disagree with instead of countering it.

Long short story made even shorter: Neither side really impresses much, especially those who seem way too hung up on it.


SteamPoweredKleenex - 2015-01-30

While I'm sure there are people who want this vague "ethics in games journalism," you can't separate GG from the BS that started it.

It's like being concerned that someone could commit voter fraud somehow, yet you can't get away from the basic racism and hatred of poor people that spawned all of the current Voter ID laws.


TheSupafly - 2015-01-29

Man I don't wanna watch this man. Post his crazy long angry video on the hoverboard instead.


oddeye - 2015-01-29

never liked this guy


Jet Bin Fever - 2015-01-29

This type of shit is porn to some people. They love hate stroking their egos over their intellectual superiority on non-issues.


Caminante Nocturno - 2015-01-29

And if that wasn't bad enough, they keep giving her money.


That guy - 2015-01-29

Actually, it's about ethics in gaming journalism.

The load screen is priceless.


StanleyPain - 2015-01-29

I'll just leave this here.

It's every ounce of my strength to resist taking the bait.

Love that trigger warning, though.

I'm not that strong.

Ever since I began my Tropes vs Women in Video Games project, two and a half years ago, I’ve been on the Internet reading the comments.

Thunderf00t comments:
>>JUST IMAGINE how hard Anita Sarkeesain would be milking it if she had such clear evidence of physical threats.

Evidence so clear you had to fake it? The difference between "fuck you up" and "fuck you over" is considerable. And I've never seen Anita Sarkeesian milk a single threat into A FUCKING 35 minute video. Needless to say, I didn't get very far.

And his crazy fans eat it up like ice cream. Having accomplished nothing but the disdain of just about everybody (because the media is conspiring against them) the gators are just getting angrier and angrier and angrier.

Hannibal is what happened when Mr. Dunning met Ms. Kruger, they had unprotected anal sex and a "love child" covered in Santorum popped out some time later. Let this be a warning, folks: always use a condom, even when using the backdoor, because that's how radical feminists are conceived. 

Lunatic said what? Very witty, Mr. Wilde!

Thuderf00t flatters himself by calling himself a "critic".

5 stars for the preload image alone. THE WOMEN, THEY HAUNT HIM

I'll feel more sorry for him when he has to leave his home for weeks at a time because of credible threats to his safety.
