Community Statement from RPG Codex about Chris Avellone

[The Dopamine Cleric]

Is anyone really surprised? When one of their own interacts with the normie world that is hyper-inflated with bullshit?

Atleast he's not fuckin' Randy Pitchford, who gets away with it because he owns property.

 

[HoboForEternity]

does this mean i don't have a chance to hook up with mr. avellone?



brb considering HRT and SRS

 

[Drowed]

Being completely honest here, regardless of what MCA did or didn't do, it's surprising to see that Codex remains absolutely adamant in not giving a single fuck to anything or anyone, to the point of posting an editorial like this on its homepage. In a twisted way, it shows the integrity of the site's identity. It's astonishing, really.

I can respect that.

classy

Maybe all the exiled game devs can make their own game together.

Not a great idea to post this as news, will make it even easier for resetera types to paint the codex as an extremist fringe board and thus easy to ignore.

It's a tragedy how there seems to be no place where the allegations against Chris (that have been bottom of the barrel stuff at best imo) can be discussed in a sane manner. It's either wading through shitposts here or getting censored at Reddit or other boards. This is why we can't have nice things and why Chris is a tragic victim of circumstances who is truly and completely fucked (and not in pleasant way referred to in news post).

 

[Bigg Boss]

We have more tranny folk here than they do thus we are more inclusive. Frankly they just aren't progressive enough.

If you care what resetera has to say, you are in the wrong location. RPGCodex will not disvow MCA for not being gay, we know it's hard and will require a lot of work and understanding from both parties. But, we are strong and we stand together. We understand we all make mistakes and some of those mistakes are larger, the most important thing is to learn from them. Which is why Codex should divert it's donation income to get one of those gay-to-straight bible camps to do a reverse uno for us and straight-to-gay Tom of Finland camp for MCA. Surely if they can make a person straight, they can do the reverse, right?

Personally I blame the soylent for making him straight.

What known hypocrites, thought-policers and non-gamers (seriously, these people don't buy and play games, they just like to use them for their agendas) have to say about... well, anything (including this board of ours), should not be of any relevance to any gamer.

 

[WetWorks]

Back in the day, the codex had tranny porn star sma, better known as miranda meadows, and the tranny with the guns and the Unabomber fascination (no foolin'). Those were trannies you could respect.

No idea, bout the current stock of trannies, but back then, that seemed pretty progressive. But thsts whats great about the codex (other than nihilistic newsposts like this) - its where nazis and transsexual furries congregate. Put that in your inclusivity pipe and smoke it.

Who cares what Retardera people say? They act in bad faith. They’ve already made up their mind about Chris Avellone, the Codex and identity politics in general. They want video games to embody their own personal political viewpoints and anyone who expresses different opinions on their forum gets banned.

They are a SJW version of RaptureReady.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Completely unrelated, but I want to say that Metatron's YT content is pretty good. Keep up the good work, fratello.

The only place where those allegations should be discussed is the court of law.

Sanity and common sense is the "extremist fringe" those days. Welcome to the clown world.

 

[Thonius]

So like can Chris ever be hot again? Can a vegan diet make him not look like a cross between Patton Oswalt and Robin Williams?

He's already on a vegan diet

Now it all makes sense.

 

[I'm Big Into Anal]

the codex will be seen as a beacon of light in a few months time mark my words

 

[FeelTheRads]

The only place where those allegations should be discussed is the court of law.

The accusers would never want to do it in a court of law, because two adults drinking together is not a crime. At least not yet.

Exactly, if the argument boils down to "person X is an asshole" a normal human being would just shrug their shoulders and carry on with their own life.

 

[Elwro]

oh boi. I was away from the internet for a few days and I find this bombshell after my return. I have to reorient the way I'm thinking about the world


but srsly, is there any credible data about this thing? The devs (Techland, Paradox) seem awfully eager to drop MCA from their projects...

Part and parcel of today's video game industry.

 

[FeelTheRads]

That's hardly the problem. Companies have always tried to avoid anything that could damage their image.

OK, maybe more today than usual, but the real problem is the things that have come to be seen as damaging these days.

Essentially anything is a problem if you find somebody to cry about it. Which is not only retarded, it's actually extremely dangerous.

 

[Infinitron]

but srsly, is there any credible data about this thing?

I think some people are not fully understanding what's going on here. It's not really about Chris Avellone being accused of some crime or misdemeanor for which there is no proof. The he said/she said stuff is just a sideshow.

The loudest voices of the millennial generation have decreed that certain ways in which the sexes interact are now intolerably rude and disgusting. Picking up chicks the way Chris did in 2013 is equivalent to having said the word "nigger". That's not illegal either, but you still can't do it.

So, what is a good way to pick up chicks? Because if we go by this





I honestly can't tell anymore what isn't *intolerably rude and disgusting*. Because I'm pretty sure this means 99% of the population has raped and is getting raped everyday.

REALLY? That's it? Jesus t.f. Christ. If that's the case, then I hope threads like this one will help MCA emotionally ;-)

That is not much of a distinction there. Resetera writes off everyone, including its own users. Have you seen its ban list? It has no respect for itself.
