That's why I avoid speaking on the matter, because I am admittedly not educated enough to have the know all of what has gone on in the few years it has begun. I have no shame in admitting that.
"I don't have time to understand the discussion being had in the very thread ive spent time posting in, thus i am not an insane person".
I've stuck to just a few of the people who are responding back to posts I have made pages ago. I don't have the time or luxury to view every single post in this massive thread.
Two guys on that team are Gamergaters: this Tim guy, who is lead designer, and the lead writer and producer. Both have voiced explicit support for Gamergate in the past, and are still retweeting Gamergate-related topics (including the writer who retweeted an article like this).
Keep acting like that.I think the whole "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" mentality applies here, except it's even worse because you're not just doing nothing, but actively supporting hateful people even when you've been pointed out that they are not good people. You put "hey, this game has a cool artistic look" above the suffering of a lot of people at the hands of all the neo-nazis of GG/"alt-right".
That's a creepy statement. Can you guys leave Bindy alone? Good way to convince people of your agenda.
Nice assumption, I can't stand Trump nor even go to his twitter or divulge into that mess but very nice assumption.
Or the op, which,by rule, is a requirement here. Also the topic and reasoning behind it has been summed up in posts including the op which takes a maximum of several minutes to get the gist of. Pretending to be ignorant of it to defend a shitty position is rightfully going to get called out because understanding the topic being discussed is a bare minimum to rational conversation. You don't get to circumvent the topic at hand because you want to be willfully ignorant
Na, it's a 30 second read in any of the dozens of posts, mod edits, or even the required reading in the Op. He can piss off with that bullshit "I don't have time to understand why what I'm supporting is harming groups of marganilozed people" line of reasoning.

I hadn't checked page 1 in days.
"I came into this thread to defend a position I had no conception of because I like how pretty the game looks and despite spending the last few pages arguing cannot be bothered to read up on its content to understand why said position is being challenged in the first place."
Hey, we understand that not everyone has the time to follow the game industry so much that they'd catch all cases like this or time to look into developers making the entertainment they consume. In case of stuff like movies & games that nowadays have hundreds & even thousands of people involved, it's not even impossible or reasonable to expect to check all that up (though we do know official stances of big companies, like EA has a very open transgender & gay supporting stance, so they are good in that regards, at least).
There's no such thing as being "neutral" about gamergate, you either support the harassment campaign dedicated to keeping women and minorities out of the industry , or you explicitly speak up against it. It's not a "neutral" issue as there isn't a single net positive about gamergate other than the fact that it helped bring to light how fucked the gaming community can be.
The sheer irony is that sounds like its going to be a narrative exploration game, you know a "walking simulator" that the kind of people this game is pandering to doesn't acknowledge as being games.
Oh shit. Comments about the game.
Considering the story of the game itself, everything in here has been related to the game. I'm starting to think the people coming in, leaving one sentence with some type of smiley face are doing nothing but trollingOh shit. Comments about the game.
