People News Chris Avellone grows a pair and fights back against being cancelled

[Tacgnol]

If all fails and MCA gets bankrupted because of a SLAPback he might have to work cheap for any small gaming company willing to hire him. Think of the possibilities

Black Geyser featuring Chris Avellone.

Chris is a man of principle, he would never work for those who backstabbed all of us who believed in the CRUSHMASTER

I'll hire him to write for my game. Payment will be in tea, coffee and rich tea biscuits.

 

[Sweeper]

Unless anyone thinks that having Durance present in Pillars of Eternity enriches that experience, somehow

I do as a matter of fact. He's one of the best written companions I've ever seen. And is one of the few things I remember about that game.

Next Codex fundraiser?

Should we send money to Karissa to improve the odds ?

A Codex commissioned game would be... interesting.

Oh ok, this makes sense now.

EDIT: If terms like “hurt feelings” is showing up specifically in the CA code regarding libel, it kind of shows how quirky this state is. It almost kind of makes most of what non CA lawyers say irrelevant if there are small details like this being missed here.

Really does make it seem like law practitioners are more or less fixed to a specific state in Kwa.

 

[Vladimuar]

So what news from Cuckistan, I mean a Shining City on a Hill, or Arsenal of Democracy, or somtn. Still hurting each other's feelings while China continues to build new aircraft carriers?

Kinda reminds me of coders. They can probably recognise the general structure/intent of a piece of code in a language they aren't proficient in, but not the specifics.

Must admit, I always assumed most American lawyers were fairly interchangeable if required, but that's obv not the case.

ah yes, seethe cope and dilate libtard.... ur tears are delicious

The funniest thing about that post is that this guy (gender assumption initiated) thinks FNV is Fallout2 and, I guess by extension, Fallout 3 is Fallout 1.

I love how this guy is completely disconnected from reality:

I've known about him being on Alt-Right festering cesspit and general hellhole RPGCodex for about, oh, two decades now?

So it's true that you can leave the Codex but the Codex can't leave you.

He hasn't posted here for three years now, but, apparently, he is still one of us. Not saying that he shouldn't be, after all this is the only place on the entire internet where at least someone gave him the benefit of the doubt after last year's accusations.

I have no trouble believing in his sex-pestery. I mean, after all he's written and all of the stuff he's said on RPGCodex. I mean, if you saw half of the things he wrote on RPGCodex... It was only a matter of time.

I wasn't around when he was still posting here, but what the fuck could he possibly have said to prove without a shadow of a doubt that he was a sexual predator?

To me, he's like the prodigal son. No matter how much he sins, walks away and stupid shit he does, he's always welcome in my mud hut.

From memory Chris only used to occasionally drop into threads about his games to answer questions or correct things.

The only time he really unloaded completely was when he was having his May of rage breakdown where he was ranting about Obsidian.

I suspect that "cancelling" is straight up censorship. Just an euphemism. But if you throw the word around enough, people are going to (subconsciously) distinguish "cancelling" as something separate from censorship.

Same kinda thing as renaming the "Department of War" to the "Department of Defense."

Hell, "propaganda" was considered a perfectly normal word... until it wasn't. So then you gotta switch the rhetoric. Gotta find a euphemism and normalize the action again.

Reminder to Resetera chuds that Zoe Quinn caused Alec Holowka's suicide by doing the very thing she accused Eron Gjoni of doing. She also accused Alex Lifschitz, another ex, of abuse. That means literally the last 3 exes she's had have abused her in some way.

 

[JBro]

You will also never be a woman, and are therefore susceptible to accusations of abuse by Zoe Quinn.

 

[Rico66]

What the fuck is "chud"?

 

[Nutria]

What the fuck is "chud"?

Oh, you sweet summer child.

That just happens to be the SJW Modus Operandi. Most of their beliefs can be boiled down their understanding of human character - namely, that they need to believe that people do not change so they can identify and characterize any person they want by any action they did at any point in the past. Attended a fund-raiser for a moderate republican who later turned right-wing? Racist for supporting him, because he clearly was racist back then already. Made a comment 50y ago about how theres only 2 genders? Bigot. Discussing age of consent? Pedophile. Arguing that men have more muscle mass and thus make better athletes/construction workers? Misogynist. Their entire culture relies on labeling anything they cannot or do not want to argue with something bad, so they can justify not having to engage with it. Its the equivalent of a kid sticking their fingers into their ears and yelling "LALALALALA" because they pretend they cannot hear you when they do that. It's the only response their emotionally immature brains can come up with.

This is why it is so incredibly easy to make them tear each other apart, or why people who feel like they belonged to that part of the group can quickly became the scapegoat for one minor comment they may have made. Introduce any sense of neutrality or nuance into a discussion of theirs, and you'll get banned for even considering to step outside the group-think. Which naturally happens as more and more extreme views become the new norm and non-retarded people eventually realize how dangerous that slippery slope is.

Critical thinking and analysis, openness to opposing thoughts and genuine debate and discussion are not things they want or feel the need to engage in. Just label any opposition a racist or bigot or any of the other terms that carries a negative connotation with it, have a few of your buddies do the same, tweet and like each others posts, and they can make anyone a pariah for something they said 20y ago. That way they never have to step outside of their bubble.

political correctness also was renamed, from when it used to be called "spastic gaytalk" (cit.)

The other thing about their philosophy is that the very nature of it makes it a competition of who can be more pure.

Sacrificing their fellow adherents allows them to move up the ranks, that is until they get taken out by someone looking to move up.

Very similar to a lot of authoritarian governments when you think about it.

Yet Karissa being pro-life and racist in the past can be forgiven. It's ok to join them.

Women and minorities get a lot more leeway about past behaviour. White men on the other hand can never change in their eyes.
