The "I'm from the Philippines so I didn't realize that was MLK" defense is undercut somewhat by the tweet bemoaning the fact that he couldn't find an appropriate pic from the EDSA revolution.

So glad to have Xbro's opinion, who is a household name and hence needs no introduction.

gamergate will prove to be the infinite respawn point of internerd hardman hero-victim posturing, mark my words

Doctor Casino, Friday, 10 October 2014 23:57 (eleven years ago)

I can't wait until I'm 75 and lolling at pathetic GamerGate post scrolling across my corneal implants

"Yes. The internet will provide comfort after a thousand years of brutal alien rule."

Doctor Casino, Saturday, 11 October 2014 06:49 (eleven years ago)

Because Intel, to an extent. Intel put out a statement a day or so later saying "Didn't mean to offend anyone! Remember, there's no good reason not to give us money!", which presumably means that the guy responsible for the first decision is Sales Manager for Siberia at the moment - but they had just released a new (ahem) Intel Core Extreme, and presumably are enjoying a sales bump.

this shit literally makes my blood boil. shame on escapist. i thought that was a decent, thoughtful site.

Terrific ribbon, Moe (stevie), Saturday, 11 October 2014 13:07 (eleven years ago)

i'm reminded of all the shit laura hudson had to put up with while running the comics alliance website, for penning and commissioning stories about female and gay and POC writers and artists and comics. 'geek' cultures have a real strong undercurrent of intolerance (which obvs is the thrust of this thread, but...)

Terrific ribbon, Moe (stevie), Saturday, 11 October 2014 13:09 (eleven years ago)

This stuff is lolzy right up to the point where people are being harrassed and terrorized which is more or less from jump, so maybe not so funny really.
