GDC Megathread

archive.fo/ivSuM

Game Developers' Conference(GDC) is happening this week and like last year, they'll be spilling their feminist-Marxist and social justice agenda into game developers, game studios and gamers alike with their circlejerk indoctrination seminars, I mean "lectures", it's only appropriate to make a thread and post whatever you can find under the tags #GDC17 and #GDC2017. Enjoy the spills and the chills with me. Trust me, you're going to love on what these retards will come up this time.

But isn't that some chick saying there's only these 3 choices, plus some cuck who works for 2K?

Fuck off shill.

Nice OP, you sure showed me wrong.
Mind telling me how saying that you've misinterpreted an image makes me a shill?
Do you even know what a shill is, or are you just spouting buzzwords?

GDC is cancer, there's no need to bring it to everyone's attention.
Make a thread when there's something decent released, like 3D sound, or when someone has a meltdown.
A thread before the event even starts is just going to be shitposted in.

Sure thing, bud.

If you're just going to post 3 words in response to my criticisms, there's clearly not much point in my responding.
Enjoy the shitty thread, and go check what the word "shill" means.

Putting it in all the fields, now.

Gamergate thread right here:

Gamergate board right here:

OOOOYYY VVVEEEEYYYY

sage goes in all fields boys

OOOYYY VVVVEEEEEYYY 2.0

Nice quads

oh vey gotta keep dem goofer grazers in their own containment areas!


This is how these SJWs work. "lol Steve Gaynor is a pronoun that's so funny xD, by the way they/them is a real pronoun and you should take it seriously at all times"

Steve Gaynor looks like a fag that pretends they have some made-up gender.
They/them are real pronouns you fucking cuck. It's used when there's no gender, you're unsure of the gender or they are intersex, as is medically intersex.

Come on now, is Holla Forums really teaching you newfags this shit? Are the mods that cucked thy let this pass?

...

You mean nu-Holla Forums that's filled with retards from /r/The_Donald and 9gag.
The election was a mistake. Meme magic brought them here.

I blame Holla Forums and Gamergate to be honest

They/them is plural. The correct sex-neutral third person singular personal pronoun is he/him.

God how embarassing.

This is so fucking stupid and you know it you fucking faggot. How can a human be without a gender? How can you be unsure? And you know how fucking rare is intersex?You are not going to use they/them for one person. Don't fake naivete you cum guzzler you know exactly why they are using it and in what context

...

wew

Video games?

...

isn't this the mentality that gave us modern art? Is this why most all indie games are shit?

wot

no thon/thon

...

I'm making game right now, can somebody cheer me up a bit?

Yes. Masturbate to rape hentai. That always does the trick.

stellar message

ur a good boy

Your game will be shit, but i'lll gladly play it, faggot.

ty, i'll probably drop a free beta version on adgd anyway

It was probably a test user, not what that .mp4 showed. If you tried to pat her on the head she was going to cry rape and call you a shitlord

you aren't a good boy

when it comes to vengeance i'm the most venomous on the planet, other than that i dindu nuffin i a good boy

If so kill yourself and everyone around you.

...

no
no
no
no

YES, I PASSED THE Holla Forums TEST!!!

You're officially better at it than me because I can't even get my ideas past the planning stage.
I think
I keep thinking of making something preachy, that way I would be fairly passionate about it, but then I think about how dickheaded that is.
I think about using a heavy amount of subtlety, but too much subtlety obfuscates the point.
Subject wise: bitching about the things in the vidya industry I hate with substantially less skill than when Kojima does it.
The key gameplay innovation would be having the choices not simply be choices, but multi-stage word problems, puzzles basically with potentially multiple solutions that change the course of the story.
I haven't seen anyone do that in the exact way I'd do it and I would like to think it would have appeal.
I just can't write a story around it that I like very much.
I feel like I've rewritten the same story several times, I just don't know how to deliver the world building in non-shitty way of just regurgitating it at the player.

Anyway here is a video I saw today that I found entertaining.

That is simply, absolutely 100% true when the question is how to succeed at MAKING GOOD GAMES, not cashing in on money by getting evolved in some ironically exclusionary twitter SJW clique

...

...

Are there any decent GDC presentations left or is it all cancer now?


To be fair a lot of success these days hinges on favorable gaming media coverage, and the indies with the best media ties are a clique-infetested shithole where your oppression and minority points really do carry weight. You could sell a turd to their retarded audience and they'll buy it thinking they're advancing some social cause (only works for indies though, not enough retards who buy videogames to sustain AAA when they go full SJW). It's probably not what the idiot presenter was thinking, but there is some sad truth to that. There's really two parts to indie success: making a good game, and marketing it successfully.


This is seriously becoming a thing, I notice. Pre-election this board was so much better. Now there's a lot of cancer coming in acting like they're on 4chan. These fuckers won't lurk but will shitpost and circlejerk loudly. I know some of them at least are probably SA goons and shills trying to make everyone hate Holla Forums, but it seems like a growing of these dumb fuckers are serious and really think all of Holla Forums belong to Holla Forums.


I blame Holla Forums mostly. GG has its share of idiots, but nothing like Holla Forums does, and for the most part GG brought here a lot of people who actually give a shit about vidya and can keep it in their pants. I feel like Holla Forums needs a board filter to keep 8/pol/ types away, but I'm not sure what to use. We're sure as fuck not going to pretend to be a SJW hive. I'm having some success making Holla Forums act out with the word socialism, but that's too political for Holla Forums. Maybe we can just shitpost some Israeli and African games that would trigger Holla Forums? How many of those dumb fags would get butthurt by the hundreds of games where you go around shooting nazis? Anyone got any ideas?

Or we could just shit on them harder as being colossal shitposting newfags and tell them to fuck off to their own board.

Anyway, here's an example of a Holla Forums shitposter caught in the wild. He's on Holla Forums, but thinks all of Holla Forums is for Holla Forums. How do we get this degenerate off our board?

He's done us the service of pointing out that Holla Forums cannot stand bernfags, but again I'm not sure if it's worth posting political shit to make Holla Forums fuck off.

Filters are one of the worst features on this site. It allows casuals to negate criticism and oldfags to tell them to lurk more. It's "block things I don't like" the function. Same shit that SJW's do on twitter.

Though yes. The only people who tolerate Holla Forums are likely from Holla Forums. And if you don't want to tolerate it and because you want to discuss video games, you're from Holla Forums according to them. Regardless, politics need to fuck off when they're not needed and Mark needs to start enforcing this more. I've reported offtopic political discussion with no result to many times and I'm sick of threads being derailed by BLM shit and nazi propaganda.

I don't mean board filter as in literally filtering out posts. I agree that's total cancer. I mean board filter as in a board meme that is used to keep undesirables the fuck away because they can't stand it.

It looks like it's posted by a damn bot.

Oh a meme. Yea that might be a thing. Probably something to do with killing Nazi's though yea.

That honestly wouldn't surprise me. I did say we got shills and shit shitting up the board. That said I do miss old Holla Forums before the nazimods took over and started banning everyone who disagreed with their views for being a shill then hugboxed and circlejerked the fuck out of it. Holla Forums still does good shit from time to time, but there's a lot more cancer these days.


Any Nazi-killing games you recommend? All I can think of is Wolfenstein 3D.

Thought there was a lot of DOOM clones that had you kill Nazi's. Otherwise I thought those Sniper games killed Nazi's. As well as Old Nazi Zombies from CoD:WoW which is actually incredibly fun despite the rest of the game being shit.

Holla Forums has been shit since early 2015, and bogeymen and elections have nothing to do with that. You know what does? Posts like yours.

There are a lot of nazi killing games, how can you only think of one?

Anyways, play MOHAA, it's challenging and co-written by Spielberg, and some of the level design takes direct inspiration from Saving Private Ryan. The shooting itself feels pretty good (id Tech 3), a classic shooter.

The music is also pretty gud. 9/10 game, multiplayer is still alive but being an older game you're not going to find any fellow beginners.

The elections brought Holla Forums's ego into full force and made post quality in Holla Forums a fucking mess. Every other thread on this board is pushed into offtopic political discussion now. While this place wasn't good prior to the elections, saying it's not worse is fucking retarded. It's just another problem of many.

Posting call of duty memes would only backfire. Everyone would hate on that, Holla Forums and Holla Forums alike.


Gee, I wonder who could be behind this post.


I avoided most WW2 shooters. I prefer Quake 3 Arena and UT when it comes to FPS games.

Fair enough. Though anybody who's actually playing Nazi Zombies would probably disagree. The hive mind probably would never let it pass though.

GDC is still a thing?

Well WW2 Medal of Honor games are classics, Allied Assault might be the peak. It's a great place to start.

The cancer is real and it's closer than you think.

Then go circlejerk about it in your own board.

I want you faggot to notice how this entire shits started because a bunch of retards thought that they/them is a perfect usable pronoun for a singular person and then blamed their retardation on Holla Forums and gamergate when no on mentioned them, with an IRL example of pic related.
And since you absolute cancer that has a need to take every kind of fucking bait the entire thing degenerated while still talking about it is Holla Forums and gamergate in an astounding example of pic related again.
I would call you newfags but not even retard after 2010 were this fucking stupid.

The funny thing is you could replace that first images pancakes with black inferiority and muslim shit for discussion on Holla Forums.

Anything about MoHAA in particular you recommend? Anything especially Holla Forums-triggering or entertaining about the nazi-killing missions? Do we have any quality missions where you save the jew? I reckon nothing will trigger Holla Forums quite as hard as vidya where you save the jew.

Nothing of the sort, thankfully.

gdc is a mixed bag, but there's some cool stuff that happens there insofar as you ignore the people who don't actually do anything relevant to development.
there's gonna be a full day of free animation talks streamed today, hopefully it'll be useful and not some weird pandering shit
animstate.com/animation-exchange-schedule/

What the fuck happened to GDC?
Only a few years ago it was for serious gamedevs, now it's full of literally whos.

cancer got in

My pronouns are nigger/niggim.

"Nigger went to the bar to get niggimself a drink."

It's what always happens when you tolerate leftists within your community.

Damn. I wonder if there are any good games that involve saving jews. We really need something proper to trigger the Holla Forumstards off of Holla Forums.


I think they had an open door, so idiots waltzed in and made themselves at home. Then the smarter people fucked off because the idiots made the event a waste of time.


Pic related.

Degenerates like you always think that if there's problems in their camp, they should just plink their ass on the other side of the fence, and everything will magically be okay. Stop letting your opponents define your political values, stop thinking in terms of labels and sides, and start thinking for yourself and recognizing people as individuals if you have any aspirations of amounting to more than a waste of oxygen.

I wish I was an unemployed loser like you so I could shitpost the whole day.

Oy vey, here comes the moderate, fence shitting civic nationalist that gets bent out of shape people dare have a distinct opinion on things.

Ever wonder why your kind of sanctimonious dipshits are the first against the wall regardless of who wins?

It's the idea that a person NEEDS one of those ribbons to obnoxiously say what they are instead of, you know, not. I will give her points for not making one for every bullshit identification for these people with mental illnesses, but she gets points docked for thinking people need to have those things in the first place.

I can imagine a few devs are forced to go to some of these seminars by their bosses as well.

I bet that 99% of the people that go to these shitty conferences never grew up with a shitty PC on which they played DOS games all day, or had a console which they used instead of going out to play. They all picked game deving as a job, which isn't a bad thing by itself but they picked it because they saw it's trending.

They have no idea what makes a game fun because they never played fun games, they played pure shit and they need books and conferences to tell them how to make up ideas. I really hate those fags, they make games which are worse than free flash games from a decade ago.

They joined game development because they saw it as a prime opportunity to shill leftist propaganda with.

Exactly. I don't get this, "everyone has a game in them." You DON'T have to make a game for fucks sake, why are you making one if you don't love it? If you're willing to sacrifice your vision and pander 100% to the most horrible audience on the planet? Disgusting, just social media whores.

.

Nice.

If they were actually giving out pronoun nametags, they'd be smaller. And they'd give out nametags with names on them.

But instead, you all sperged out over a joke that wasn't even politically charged, projected your political beliefs onto it, then shat the thread up with Holla Forums vs Holla Forums garbage.


Good fucking work, collectively kill yourselves.

...

I'm sorry, I'm glad you read my post and picked up on something I didn't say. Eyes like a hawk you nigger.
I don't like GDC, but I didn't talk about the conference at all.
Stop putting words in my mouth to simply excuse you to post those images.

Gets me every time.
The dot points to break up sentences in a paragraph just kill me.
Also, if games are Marxism why can't I pirate everything day 1?

Singular they/them is used for indefinite pronouns eg. "Someone left their umbrella here". Never for specific people though, since "they is" sounds fucking stupid.

because extremists hate anyone with a brain

You mean people who were both with fucked up genitals?
They're still either men or women, they still have either an XX or XY chromosome.

...

All these panels are so blatantly stupid I can't believe they're not shoops.

What about Klinefelter (XXY, sterile) and Turner (X0, sterile) syndromes?

Tumblr, get the fuck out right fucking now.

That's because "they" changes the subjunctive to "are" you illiterate.


No, sex refers to male or female.
Gender refers to masculine or feminine.

Since intersex people do not have the correct genitals, they can neither be classed as male or female, and they are left to choose what they wish to portray themselves as with masculinity and femininity.
Pronouns are used for sex, however, they've been co-opted to be used for genders.
Since an intersex person is NOT clinically male or female, they used the non-descriptive "they" as a pronoun. Though most don't and just say "I look more like a girl, I'll be a she".

I'm fairly sure intersex people were the jump off point for idiots with mental issues to begin saying they are a different gender from the one they physically are.

This isn't leftist propaganda, this is a medically demonstrated term. I don't like people making up genders or changing them based on the amount of clouds in the sky when they wake up each day, but intersex people do exist and are catagorised differently from males and females, medically.

Also, by your brilliant biology lessons you took in high school, does a person with Kleinfelter Syndrome, or XXY as their 23rd chromosome?

suddenly im a fence sitting idiot for not shooting homeless people in the street or making the country into a welfare state

...

I wasn't contesting that. "They are" as a singular sounds even more stupid though.

Since you brought up Turner, what do you think of the sex of someone with the condition?
I only brought up Klinefelter as the XXY would mean there is both male and female chromosomes present, but X0 is purely female, genetically.


Welcome to modern-day politics, where you are forced to subscribe to an ideology 100% or you are allowing the other side to take full control.

Making your mind up as each new issue arises is no longer allowed.

Crypto-leftists like you are the only people championing this moronic idea that the left has anything to add to any discussion, especially since they spent the last 100 years being proven wrong about everything.

It's the Y that makes the guy. You could have 500 X chromosomes but all that matters is one Y.

I'm finding a lot of retards that don't speak English in this thread. Wonder how many of you will pronounce that like a sport's event, on top of that.


Not really.
Assume you are talking about someone named Alex.
All you know about Alex is that their name is Alex.

Now, when you are talking about Alex, how do you reference them? Do you say "He is great" or "She is great"?
By assigning either of the gendered pronouns, there may be preconceptions associated with the gender you just said Alex was.

You could then say, by you using "he", that Alex is a guy and ask them to a baseball game, while if you use "she", you'd ask to fuck Alex.
They is neutral for when the sex is not known or indeterminate.

If you don't like the English language, go fuck off and learn Italian, where gender is so absolute your pencil case is a female and the clock is a male.


Faggot.
Just because I don't subscribe 100% to every right-wing policy doesn't make me a lefty.

If I had my way, I'd fund every single homeless person off the streets, paying for it by ceasing all immigration.
Which camp am I in for that, you faggot?

What they don't have is the correct brain patterns, not genitals. Regardless, they can still be classified as male and female because it refers to biological sex. Intersex means they are cannot be referred to as men/boys/etc or women/girls/etc because their messed-up brain chemistry is not subscribing them to either gender.

Intersex people can be fucked over in either the mental or genital department.

I was merely only talking about their genitals as, otherwise, my post would instantly be branded as in support of the mentally ill making up genders.

Not that the newfags who came to Holla Forums in the last 4 months cared and did it anyways.

Klinefetter exclusively effects male cognitive development and physical development men still have testes but they tend to be smaller and produce notably less testosterone and X0 is again purely female. In both cases you still have male and female sex expression so I would classify them both as male with rare genetic disease and female with rare genetic disease respectively. If we're talking intersex most people are never truly androgynous and tend to swing one way or the other in terms of sex expression and do indeed have a XY or XX chromosomes which is effectively what determines your sex.

It's adorable how you defend your boyfriend, really, it is. Not my fault he's a raging moron that thinks right wingers go hobo hunting or whatever it is you mentally ill freaks think we do in our spare time.

Doesn't matter. Either you're against them or you're for them. There is no more middle ground to be had and anyone that claims otherwise is a deluded fuckwit.

Most homeless people are on the street by their own choice or due to the fact they cannot help but relapse into the lifestyle (because of mental illness or otherwise). You think there aren't programs in place to rehabilitate them?

The tryhard camp trying to prove you're smarter than the rest of us because you love the taste of your own cock.

See, you brought up androgynous people, which are again another subset of genders that are rare and medically proven.

The fags in this thread going "muh only 2 genders" are idiots with no medical expertise who simply say anyone that isn't male or female is mentally ill.
There are clear differences in what is medically tested and what is a bunch of rich white girls trying to stand out.


Go be a word-wrangling kike elsewhere.

Want to know a fun fact about the homeless getting into those programs?
They are government-funded and run, so they force people to have identification to use the services.
Guess what? You can't get identification without paying a sum of money to the government to get said documents.
But wait, just get a job to pay for the documents. Oh, that's right, you need documents to be employed.

If you're a faggot that doesn't realise both sides of politics and all governments are fucked on a fundamental level, you're a sheep that just follows whatever your Holla Forums or Holla Forums "approved leaders" say is the right thing.

If you think someone making their own decisions based on their own feelings and experiences is a tryhard, guess what? You're trying to hard to fit in.


Why haven't the mods deleted this? It turned into Holla Forums vs Holla Forums long ago.

What part of truly androgynous people are anomalies of anomalies did you not get? We have effectively two sexes unless you really want to count "genetically diseased freak who would be guaranteed to not survive to adulthood if not for modern medicine" as one of the sexes.

...

>one side happens to be fucking retarded and wrong about everything
And thus the fence shitter got put in front of a firing squad and the world was rid of his faggotry.

Then make the documents free for the poor. It's that simple. IDs should be legally required for any kind of benefit or governmental service you choose to use.

This is how I know you're a crypto-leftist, this false equivalence you keep perpetuating, and please, let's not pretend Neocons are anything but red Democrats that want the same globalist hellhole as their blue counterparts.

Did the right fuck up from time to time? Yes, they did, but the point is that no matter how badly the right wing fucked up it never reaches the heights of idiocy of the left. Hitler might drag Europe into a war, but after the war Europe is still Europe, populated by Europeans that maintain their European cultures. When the left is done with you you're gonna be living in an extension of Africa with Yids ruling over you.

Now explain to me how the two are even remotely on the same level. One is a continuation of what has been an ongoing power struggle between white nations that reaches back centuries and has galvanized their rise to dominance, the other is an existential threat to the white race and Western culture as a whole.

We can sit here and pretend you're smart because you make time to listen to the garbled gibberish that comes out of Holla Forums's mouth, but we both know that's just giving them lip service so you can inflate your ego.

Oy vey.

Because, until you came along and sperged out people kept pointing out it wasn't the right wing that was shitting up games in general and the GDC in particular we were having a fun thread laughing at the lunatic convention.

You could try having a better job than manual laborer. Believe it or not, there are a lot of types of work where you can have an internet connection and computer.


I'm not a fence sitting bastard or moderate, numbnuts. If anything it's the fair-weather fence-hopping idiots who have no political fortitude. But ultimately this here ain't about who has the right flavor of politics. It's about getting degenerate Holla Forumsacks like you to either conceal your power level or fuck off of Holla Forums. Because this is the fucking videogames board, so stop acting like everywhere is Holla Forums.


I'm not sure whether that's good or bad. It depends on whether you view it as a paid holiday or requirement for sincere involvement. Then again it might be possible they're just trying to preserve sanity in the shitshow GDC is becoming.

XXY and X0 people are still either male or female, the only truely androgynous people are people with both XX and XY, which is extremely rare and the only case where there is actually some argument.
There are only 2 genders, anything that claims otherwise is citing rare genetic mutations that affect less than .0001% of the human population

Since you seem fresh from cuckchan let me give you a piece of advice. You have no power here and screeching like a fucktard won't change that.

What we need is the mods to ban Holla Forums vs Holla Forums.
Half the time it's just one side making a bait post with glaring errors then proxy hopping to point out the errors they've calculated.


I know you didn't agree with me, but I'm merely pointing out that a tiny fraction of society is legitimately neither male nor female.
If you were to say they are male or female based on how they look, then you are agreeing with leftists and saying wearing a dress makes a bloke a woman.
If you say it's based on genetics, then genetic anomalies aren't accounted for. Would you prefer we round up and shoot people who in most cases can't even produce offspring, and in all cases aren't hereditary, thus producing no risk to a larger proportion of them in future generations?


Nice projecting. I identify as right-wing, but that doesn't mean I wish for every single person that doesn't agree with me to be round up and shot.
Hell, the fact you want centrists to be round up and shot makes you sound like an edgy fag.
Ever wondered why we're not in a society that's wholly left or right? It's because shooting people you don't like gets you deposed.

Gee, that's a fucking wonderful idea.
I wonder why they haven't done that yet. That's a really hard concept that must be hard for both side of politics to come up with.


No you fucking kike. I am someone that has varying views, some mild left and some extreme-right. I'm more closely labelled as a moderate-right, but I guess that makes me a leftist because I don't agree with you.

Both sides fuck up. At least you can see that.
Maybe the fact they both fuck up is why I don't blindly put my faith into one group.

The fact you're so blindly Holla Forums, without doing any of the legwork yourself, makes you no better than the leftists you hate so much for blindly following Hillary and Obama.

So no live conferences from devs like sony this year? I'm trying to look for the times but i'm not finding them.

...

It's cute how you need to insist that everyone who is not a Holla Forumsack must be from halfchan. It's even cuter when you use that to defend Holla Forums becoming the cancer that is killing Holla Forums as if that's the way things have always been. Fuck, do you even remember what 8/pol/ was like before imkampfy and another mod started purging the damn place of dissenting opinions? Before Holla Forums was a thing and it was just Holla Forums? Because it's pretty clear the newfag is you, son.

Nothing is free. Someone is going to pay for it. If it's a government program, it means the government will pay for it. For the government to pay for it, they need to take it from the tax payers. So you're essentially still suggesting a minor form of redistribution of wealth, comrade.

I remember classic 8pol

No I'm saying that truly androgynous people are incredibly rare that ignoring them when it comes to the intersex argument is valid. Most of the intersex people that you refer to are 'man with XY chromosome pair but fucked up genitals or 'woman with XX chromosome pair but fucked up genitals' hence swinging strongly one way or the other when it comes to gene expression. Truly andrygnous people are way too rare to be relevant especially when the human species is built around sexual dimorphism along a a distinct gender binary, wierd genetic fuckups are just that wierd genetic fuckups who are guaranteed to not pass their genetic mistakes onto future generations.

Gets me every time.


8/pol/ wasn't even that great compared to old 4/pol/, as back there, before the mods were censoring shit, you actually had to explain and understand your ideas and issues, rather than the circlejerk that both Holla Forums and Holla Forums are now.

Please don't, we have no need for quisling cucks like you.

And where did I say that? I never mentioned "every person", just pretentious moderates that love the sound of their own voice. You grate on everyone because no one likes the smell of the farts that come out of your mouths.

Because there hasn't been a government that cared for the well-being of the people in any Western country after WWII ended. You'll note the left has been in power ever since the evil fascists got kicked out of power, but they seem more concerned with the plight of niggers and mudshits than with the proletariat they ostensibly represent. If you're gonna be pointing fingers at least point them at the real culprits the Jews.

A flip-flopping crypto-leftist then.

Yeah, I know your'e a moron.

No one gives a shit about your special snowflake status.

You still don't get it. When one side fucks up a war or two happen, when the other side "fucks up" (as in, things go as intended and white gentiles die by the millions) the white race ceases to exist.


For the poor. Social programs are not the sole purview of the left, and social programs would work if there weren't niggers and mudshits to feed.

Nigger, you walked into a thread that was clearly about politics and started whining like a cunt you are that Holla Forums needs to leave (but not Holla Forums curiously enough) because they're hurting your leftist sensibilities. I'm not sure what to tell an imbecile like you besides the fact that you can hide threads that trigger you and shit up something else with your presence.

You mean how Holla Forums ran away to make their own little hugbox because they couldn't take the bantz? Yeah, I remember you cowards running for the hills.

You truly are irrational.
I'm not going to discuss politics with a faggot that believes there's only two options in every solution.

What's even better is that you think left and right are synonymous for not-white and white. Because there's totally not extremist right-wing people in a (((certain country))) trying to co-opt the white race.


Both need to go. Holla Forums needs to be about video games and laughing at shitty politics shoved in by both sides.

(checked)

It's not cute, never was. I want videogame discussions again. I don't want autistic political shitflinging monkeys derailing threads everyday.

this aint fucking star wars

Holla Forums bans you for not being left.
Holla Forums bans you for not sucking imkampfy's dick.

Both seem pretty bad, tbh.

There's not two, there's the right one.

One side does seem to favor one over the other. I have nothing against vibrants having their own nationalist movements and defending their ancestral clay, what I take issue with is them coming over here to be parasites.

Jews can have Israel for all I care. I just want the West to stop propping them up so them and the mudshits can take care of each other.

Go fuck yourself. We didn't drag politics into games, the left did, and like the typical leftist cuck, when the discussion doesn't go as you want it to go it's suddenly VIDEO GAMES and "go back to Holla Forums". Do you think pretending the problem doesn't exist will make it magically go away? Are you an even bigger cretin than I imagined?

Yeah i can see where you are going

>trickle down economics/Reaganomics proven to be working and successful
Is this a jest?

Only if you say please

But I thought you dumbfucks were the enlightened liberals, in stark contrast to us ebil Nazis.


You do understand that Regan was a Neocon, right?

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone

Are Reagan and the tax breaks Trump is pushing supposed to be part of the authoritarian left then?

I'd argue sex is only absolute for individuals that produce (or have produced I guess) ova or sperm, so both Turner and Klinefelter would be sexless. I still view them as steriles females and males respectively, but that's gender.

I prefer Deutsch, thank you very much. Either that finngolian; it's all gender or no gender!

GOVERNMENT GET OUT REEEEEEE

…a wild leftypol appears

I miss old Holla Forums. Old Holla Forums was like that for a time too (after the GG shit, posters were proper skeptics for a while so there was a whole EVIDENCE FAGGOT thing going on).


Believe it or not, laughing at SJWs and pointing out cancer devs is not the same as going Holla Forums. Also I wasn't part of the contingent that went to Holla Forums. I lurked too hard to get caught up in the nazimod shit. But Holla Forums really became more of a circlejerk and hugbox after that shit.


Are any of the ###news### or ###politics### boards doing better?

I know it's an ongoing issue where sometimes some autists get baited in a thread about Super Mario Odyssey, and we rightfully ban those people for doing so. However we allow discussion of SJW bullshit and such. It's why we've allowed the GaymerGay threads since 2014, and still allow them to this day. Not only because of the sheer importance of the subject, but also because it's video games related and on topic. If someone is bitching about taking back the holy land in a thread about F-Zero then I would ban the fucker for derailing the thread with political bullshit, however in a thread like this where people are talking about the topic on hand, then I see no issue with it.

Basically the discussion of the politics behind vidya is vidya related, as is VN's and figurines.

Now stop being faggots.

I win.

C'mon, you know the context on which the tweet was made and considering GDC do you really fucking believe they are pandering to such a small percentage?
Also those people usually end up identifying with male or female and not just go XYZ, it's more probable they will get a she or he than use they. To which i have to say, if the context was clear (hahaha snowflakes and their made up shit), there was the need to make such a fucking shitfest? And if so, how the fuck can you think to hold the moral high ground when you started this shitflinging and then say i want politics out of the board?

I won't disagree, but my initial point was that no matter how bad the right wing gets, the left wing is always worse.

Hi Mark

THE DI/v/IDER RISES

Holla Forums actively recruits on reddit and they just circlejerk over who's read the most books.


You almost sound like those leftists with "Not true communism".


Okay, so now we've established that you think anyone that doesn't agree with you is in the wrong.
Thanks, now I know you're just legitimately retarded. You have this high and mighty idea of yourself, and anyone else is garbage that you find a single fault in to fault and criticise.

Want to know why I brought up Holla Forums is for video games? Because I kept bringing it up and was ignored, so I figured you'd keep ignoring it.


Fuck, someone that actually thinks about what they write. My Holla Forums handbook didn't account for this.

I think we'd be in the same boat regarding sex, then.

I learnt Deutsch and Iltaliano in school. Italian was definitely more obtuse regarding gender.
German having "die" "der and "das" made the sentence sound more fluid, while the Italian way of gendering things was fucking obtuse.


We're no longer allowed to think and use evidence, we have to blindly follow those above, on both sides.

/news/ and /politics/ are both trash. I've just stopped going online for political discussion.


Mark, do you even DEEPEST LORE?


I only did it for (you)s, tbh.
Pic related.


Depends.
The right is prone to failing to protect all citizens in favour of protecting it's land/territory, while the left is the opposite.

Both have faults, but yes, generally, the right is better, so long as you don't get into facism/dictatorships.


If you want to get Mark-senpai to notice you, go to the Dark Souls 3 theead

They are after such a magical day. Even if Trumps spends the rest of his two terms fucking up everything I will forgive him just for making it possible to witness such incredible levels of asshurt from the leftists.

Are you aware that threads are being derailed more and more by unrelated politics? You've been here long enough to notice this. I used to report blatant shitposting, but what's the point if I have to order a cake to even get you to move your jelly fingers.

I don't understand how this theory is supposed to work.

Mark, there's a stage when someone is not trying to be even tangentially related to videogames, Holla Forums, or the thread topic. Take a look at this faggot: >>12031192 and >>1203119 Completely out of the blue posts about Sanders and communists. No attempt whatsoever to comment about GDC. And you don't make the slightest effort to make him fuck off.

I'm far from being a moderation happy faggot, but there's a point when people are just jumping into threads to start Holla Forums shit without the slightest intent to be vidya related, and those people just need to be steered back to Holla Forums. It's not about which side of the spectrum they're on (unless we're talking about the autism spectrum, maybe).

And what constitutes "unrelated" politics? Is discussing a developer's clear political bias, that tends to leak into their products, considered "unrelated"?

Like it or not the left has dragged politics into gaming and made them a cultural battleground. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away.


It's what happens when Holla Forums realizes how badly they've fucked up, know that there is no salvaging this and thus attempt to throw the shit they're drowning in at other people.

My point being is that don't go all DEUS VULT in a thread about Pokemon.

I haven't seen it in 99% of the threads, also it's barely reported.

well of course, I'm gonna take care of that guy right now. but I'm saying in general the board is on topic and the Holla Forums derails are less of an issue then some make it out to be.

They do remove shit, they just don't do it too quickly, as otherwise either side will claim it was just minor and whinge to remove the mods.

They remove it when they get derailed hard, though, but by that point it's too late.

Why does he love Saint Peter so much? He's not even top 5 Disciples.
And why does his warpaint consist of headphones blasting Katy Perry?

Is it just me or do his eyes seem glossy and distant?

You can't be this fucking retarded.

ALOLA IS FOR THE ALOLAN PEOPLE
THE KANTONITES NEED TO BE REMOVED


Your eyes would be glossed over if you had hair dye seeping into your frontal cortex, too.

Mark, I just looked at the board logs. Stop deleting 100% of the banned posts.
Use the big red text so people understand what is and isn't allowed.

You can't be this fucking retarded.

If you look at it, GDC has always been "meh" so it's not surprising it's even worse than things like e3 in the CY+2

Wrong.

I don't wanna go full meta, but they contribute nothing to the thread and just gather more political autism too said posts. I see no issue in deleting them if they have no content related to the thread.

faggot pls , we have IDs in this place
you have (10) posts iTT all whining about Holla Forums and reminiscing the good ol' days as if you were actually there and as soon as mark shines his tripcode like the attention whore he is your first post is:

p-pls respond

doubtful

Close. What starts off as talking about the dev's politics goes off track real quick and usually devolves into two or more retards having a slapfight. I don't have problems with discussing political views, so long as they stay on-topic.

It depends. If it's spam, delete it.
If it's some kike intentionally bringing up his belief about immigration in a thread about Harvest Moon, you should red text them so everyone knows it's off topic.

By putting them out and shaming them, you get them to stop doing it and others anons realise they'll be banned if they do.

I dunno man, by shaming them I also attract attention to myself. basically ruining the thread.

I actually reported the posts I mentioned to you. They just weren't acted on.

It may depend on which threads you're on, but in some of them the Holla Forums derail is really, really obvious. It's becoming an actual problem, Mark. The posts I just pointed out aren't an isolated incident.


No shit, Sherlock. Did you just figure that out?

I was. Shocker.

I'd've been happy to discuss GDC more if people had more than the occasional screenshot in what has got to be a very slow-moving and lackluster "you rage you lose" thread style. Besides, it was a decent meta discussion.

It's off-topic as shit son. It's one thing to say "GDC sucks because it's compromised by leftist kikes" with some discussion on the problem chidren and another to suddenly start shitting about communists and sanders like that's just a perfectly good Holla Forums conversation.

Oh well, up to you in the end.
You should get 1 or 2 new mods to enforce when you guys are asleep.
That's when I'm awake, and I keep seeing spam/bait, and reporting doesn't take effect for hours.

Good job reading this thread and my reply. ITT only few replies are actually related to GDC and political shit going there. This isn't a thread about politics in general, or rather about shit flinging over each other political believes which is what this thread turned into after literary two posts with obvious bait pictures.

What i'm going to tell you might sound scary but ponyfags are the least of an user's worries these days.

It could be called your first of many mistakes.
>IMPORTANCE
wew
GG hasn't been a more than tertiary vidya subject for at least two years. It's all about political shitflinging, and sometimes the people involved happen to be somehow related to games, like forum moderators and bloggers.

sure you are ,i just had no idea reddit even had such a thing

I'm kinda confused what makes you so determined to act like I couldn't possibly be an oldfag, but I realized I don't actually give a shit and this conversation reached rock bottom anyway.

Humans don't have gender, words do. Humans have sex, both adjective and verb.

This thread and its ilk has moved waaaay past 'SJW bullshit and such'. 'SJW bullshit and such' is what you'll find on r/kotakuinaction. This thread on the other hand is pure politics if it even can be called that, it's more accurate to call it inter-board shitflinging between Croatia and Serbia using Bosnia as their designated warring street.

I've seen threads in /a/ derail into philosophical discussions about the nature of war and usage of AIs, but you'll never see that shit happening here, because the bar for the average user to respond to blatant bait is so fucking low since nonconstructive namecalling shitposts which contribute to fucking nothing and only serve to set the standard of the discussions in this place
have become the de facto norm. Almost nobody here gets 'serious' with Jupiter-sized replies because at most the other guy they're replying to will most likely be a dismissive fallacious retard who's only in it for (You)s and never help an actual discussion take place, so instead low-effort shitposting and recycled arguments becomes normal.

Yet on the other hand, moderators are very lenient when it comes to defining what constitutes a pure nonconstructive moron who is obviously not in it to actually discuss shit properly. And I'm not talking about people with terrible or shit opinions, I'm talking about people whose ability to have a reasonable discussion is non-existent. If I'm willing to seriously entertain some faggot's notions I think are disagreeable and all he does is practically retreat in his own safe space while constantly denying everything everyone else says without providing a single fucking argument, then that can't be considered anything else but shitposting and the faggot should be publicly banned to set and example that sends the message "don't fucking do this".
But our mods are too lax for that, so instead, I have to bait evident retards into repeatedly making shit posts because they simply can't resist those (You)s while maintaining my own innocence, and only after they leave a trail of shitposts which nobody can think of anything but shit, do I have enough evidence to make a report which the mods will actually handle and ban the fucker (for fifteen minutes). And I've successfully done that here on Holla Forums. Three times.
Do you remember that music thread where you once banned that guy who started posting politics after some other guy kept replying to him with replies containing nothing but a vidya music embed and a link to his post? I was that other guy, it was me Mark, it was all me, and I know it was you who handled that (especially after you posted a Metal Arms embed).

It always struck me as ironic how the imageboard which prides itself as being superior over halfchan for not indulging in consolewarshit, instead indulges in the tribalism of the current political schism, engaging in rational and interesting debate the likes of which I could also find in the comment section under a fucking YouTube video. This shit won't go away, unless you set a standard, because the people who are actually looking to talk about things find less reason to actually bother if the other guy is only looking to win debates without actually informing himself about the actual subject and comes off like a moron spouting the opinions of others.

i know because you keep responding

You seem a bit worked up.
If you're remembering so many threads with such detail, maybe you need to calm down and stop posting.

Also, that Zoom joke was pathetic, up your game.

And this is why Holla Forums will never improve. Mark is never going to give it up, and his standard is shitposting as much as the type of posters you're describing. He can't maintain a facade of sincerity for more than a couple posts, and if he's challenged too much he throws up his hands and nukes the thread.

very interesting OP

His statement is referring to fascism and radical traditionalist philosophies, you dumb fuck. Trump is just ideally a stepping stone.

I shouldn't even have to report the initial barrage of shitposts that come with a lot of new threads whenever the armchair mods deem it not up to their standards who then try to 'solve' it by pissing in the ocean. Shitposting won't make "shitposting" go away. The simplest answer is to simply not fucking post at all and let a shit thread or shit user die a forgotten death, but when nothing is done against (1) and done shitposts which are more often than not old news anyways, that shit will keep happening over and over.

To be honest I agree with this assessment. And pure, retarded shitposting and full Holla Forums crud has really has been on the rise as of late.

I think the most retarded shit is the Holla Forumstards who call others newfags or tell them to go back to 4chan when they point out that all of Holla Forums isn't Holla Forums and they have their own board if they need to circlejerk their shit. I've even seen Holla Forums posters wanting others banned for expressing leftist or anti-Holla Forums sentiment, like the whole fucking site should be their personal hugbox.

This thread is about GDC and the SJW faggots from GDC, if you don't want to discuss this go to another thread. Why should we discuss the bad parts of GDC? Who are you to tell us to only discuss the good parts of it?

But VNs and figurines aren't video games.

I hope Mark loses his mind and goes full hotpocket so he and his reddit crew get removed.

I have no issues with discussing the good and bad of GDC. I'm all for that. But a lot of Holla Forums shit is only vaguely related to Holla Forums these days. A GDC thread is a thread to talk about GDC, general state of the industry, SJWs, videogames, the cancer that is killing videogames, vidya media being retarded as always, and so forth. But a lot of Holla Forums shit is only vaguely related to the above at best and is mostly some Holla Forumsack masturbating about his political beliefs in public while expecting accolades and getting butthurt, shitposting like a retard, and telling others to fuck off when they call him cancer.

I wouldn't mind people bashing GDC and its clear agenda.
My issue is that its the only thing being discussed here.
AMDs Vega RX10 was just announced along with an AMD and Bethesda partnership, Agony just got a new trailer.

But nothing like that is being discussed, instead its just a fucking GG general proxy where the whole thread is people getting mad at SJW nobodies with their own fucking panels and the organizers clear liberal bias.
I could understand shit like Bazinga man showing off how progressive he is by advertising asexual bathrooms on his shitty game while Tak Fujii laughed his ass off at such stupidity.
Every single thread after that GDC has been nothing but people getting mad at SJW nobodies trying to indocrinate the 10 people that actually go to their garbage instead of actually discussing vidya and vidya news on fucking video game board

What the hell do you expect when the SJWs have completely sunk their claws into the gaming industry? They aren't even hiding it any more, it's straight up corruption everywhere. Why the fuck would people not talk about it?

At this point I believe that investing in A.I. to take over and become a mod is the only solution. Human mods here become lazy and end up as fags who impose their rules and it always causes a rift.

Not to be doubles advocate or anything, but that 'is' a shopped image. The photo is real, but the tweet is not.

…

I never said not to talk about SJWs. You want to talk about the corruption and everything, I'm all for it. In fact, I'll hear you out right now.

This is the first time I've seen a response used with a reaction pic so well.

That's a psycho stare.

I can't tell what the intent behind that image is.
I don't know if it's just a guy showing off his quads or it's meant to be sexual.

I didn't say anything about gender

user, use context to avoid false equivalencies. Applying your logic unconditionally:

Clearly, he's talking about Right as defined in the 19 century and all centuries prior. Today, that would be considered "fascism", but in reality it was always normal.

This is impossible. They are mentally ill.
You’re illiterate.

Welp, it's been fun lads.

Apathetic shills aside, hope you lads are ready.

That'll never happen, look at imkamfy's free reign to ban literally everything he doesn't like over on Holla Forums.

Is there even anybody who's made a single good thing at GDC this year? It's hard to call this event anything but an unfunny joke at this point.

This is taking place during the 'Education Soapbox' - archive.fo/KlG5d

It just never ends.

I like how those people think that they are brave revolutionaries for speaking publicly in a corporate and government funded outlet. Either a fascist society is good for enabling their bullshit or they aren't living in one at all.

Where are my attack helicopter pronouns?

Some people just need to be raped with an electric golden dragon god lance.

Can we finally boycot these fuckers so the industry HAS to fire them?

Please?

Also, by your brilliant biology lessons you took in high school, does a person with Kleinfelter Syndrome, or XXY as their 23rd chromosome?
Doesn't a Y chromosome automatically give you male genitals regardless of how many X chromosome there are? With the assumption all gene for that development are fully functioning which can result in cases like a XY female who should have been born male.


Zelda: BotW talk revealed they made a prototype in 8bit form to see how the game would work, with physics and stuff.


Where are my president, your majesty and emperor pronouns?

Do you really need Holla Forums's permission to do what you want?

...

Привет Марк.

No.

Are they STILL trying to make her some fucking Indie darling after their other one lit her own career on fire by fucking everything in sight?

What a surprise.

GOOD HEAVENS JUST LOOK AT THE TIME!

Don't worry ponefag, you may post with the understanding that you are not welcome here at all times.

Honestly, I wouldn't even post them if you all didn't have such a hipster hate boner for it. It's a mediocre cartoon that's somewhat nostalgic of 90s saturday morning cartoons. Your ridiculous hate and ease of provocation is hilarious for something so mundane.

They / them are terms you use when referring to groups of people. Hence:
Not for use when referring to individuals. You use the sexed pronouns when referring to individuals. If a girl, than she / her. And if a guy, he / him. Fuck off with this subversive bullshit.


THIS.

Hating something universally terrible that makes people stupid is "hipster" now I see. Good meme.

I rarely post here anyways.

I guess after the horsefuckers fucked off of Holla Forums, they went other places here and decided to pretend like they belonged. You're a good example.

Ironic, seeing as you are one. And if you are going to strawman being on the right which is obviously not a good in and of itself than you are even more of a mouth breather.

do we just never speak of anyone we don't know the gender of? Singular 'they' has been in english for a long ass time dude.

"Who left their books here?" is far preferable to "Who left his or her books here?"

Still not acceptable as a pronoun once the person is known though.

Oh my god, why did you waste those trips. To answer you, not liking a thing is fine. Your nuclear hate for something so mundane just screams overcompensation and desperate attempts to be 'cool'. It's honestly pretty sad.

That goes into my rare "Mark, the fat jew with a face only a mother could love" folder.

Well I mean, no shit we wouldn't say
If we don't know the person. The they/them thing is only valid in the circumstance we do not know the person. If we have seen the person and can reasonably assume the sex, I.E, they look like a girl or a guy, then we naturally say the appropriate pronoun.

Anyways, I am just really sick of this twisting of language to appease mentally ill trannies. This shit coming from the left has been really getting on my nerves.

I always say "Who left his books here?".

Filthy shitlord

"Who's books are these?"
English has a lot of ways of getting around that. In any other language, it'd be the masculine form, as far as I understand it.

thats racist


There are plenty of sentences where rearranging it to remove the pronoun would produce an awkward or overly convoluted alternative.

Singular 'they' is fine in my opinion. Just not as an alternative to he or she for braindead libshit ideologues

in romance languages the rule is "when in doubt, use male pronouns". If there's a group of people, no matter how many are female as long as there is one male the correct is also the male pronoun.

...

OK, old GG warrior here. I'm a little late to the party (camping in the desert) and just want to know two things:

1) Is there a video of these talks online I can use to shame GDC with?

2) How do we make GDC toxic so no game dev will pay their membership fees ever again, and nobody will sponsor this bullshit.

I mean fuck, where is the finishing blow? We need a fucking plan. Just posting images and rolling our eyes isn't getting the job done. I don't want to have to deal with this shit in fucking 2020!

WHERE ARE THE HORCRUXES?!

As an anonymous poster on a Mongolian image board there's really not much we can do to fuck these guys over aside from shitpost their official channels to death. Which isn't really a game plan. We need more info on how they work to make a plan which most people here are to lazy or busy to do among myself.

WTF…

They generally work by giving each other awards in one giant circle jerk then attempting to shame game devs into hiring their diversity consultants and other assorted graduates of cancer degrees.

Our point of attack has to be the MONEY!

GDC is sponsored. It has paid members. It's just a social club where startups desperately try to suck gay AIDS cock in order to get some publicity.

Enticing. But better a few anons do their research and directly message their advertisers with proof and a well presented argument than a giant group of autists with no understanding on how it works on a more detailed level who flood their inbox.

Basically do it yourself and if it looks good others will follow. Be the change you want to see. I'm aware I'm essentially passing the buck but I genuinely don't have time for this, I just got home from a 10 hour shift 15 minutes ago and I should have been in bed 4 hours ago

There's a whole swathe of languages which are genderless, which makes this entire shitshow look doubly stupid from our perspective.

Says the dipshit trying to be edgy by posting stuff from his beloved toddler's cartoon just to troll people, and can't stand any opinion that disagrees with his.

If I gave a fuck about being "cool" I wouldn't be posting here. When you finally grow out of watching MLP maybe you'll grow a fucking brain.

Sure thing buddy.

Must be tiring being this stupid

user, you give me the strength to carry on.

You fucking Nazis make me sick

Ambiguity defaults to masculine. Your English is shit.

Archive? I believe he deleted this tweet

...

The fuck is with this shit?

Jesus fucking christ

I gave up on gamergate after the first few months or so after it launched but to see this sort of shit still persists means that the counter culture is still needed.

On another note, please forgive this blogposting but I think it bears some small importance.

I've been reflecting on my game choices as of late. What games I have purchased, what games I have played, and what games I have been interested in within the last couple of years and looking forward to in the near future this year.
2/3 of the selection are Japanese made/produced games. The other 1/3 that are "western" made/produced have either been old games that got a PC port, something by an indie dev that is arcade-like (drop in and play, no real story or anything. Simple shit), or a pure multiplayer (Overwatch) where nothing about a story or any "message" is the focus of the game because the focus of the game is beat another team.
To add to this, my game consumption in general has dropped off because of, well, just what its like when you're 30 years old living as a lone adult that has a 9 to 5 job. So my purchases and what grabs my interest are not frivolous because my spare time is not.

My point with that is to say, I wonder if this is something that other people are experiencing now? Where the SJW narrative and all this bullshit has been made so important in these games that its sucking the fun out of them and thus starting to tank sales, even among the normalist of normalfags? Where its not even about a stance on any given "issue", but that the games just aren't that fun in the west? That the gameplay is suffering, the visuals are suffering, all in service to a story that to many people may just start to sound like they're getting nagged at?

What do you guys think?

I screen sapped it just before posting.

Don't they realize how obvious and pathetic they look right now? Even most normalfags are cringing this time around.

To be honest, I still think the vast majority of normalfags doesn't give a shit about this. Sure, they'll nod along because equality and tolerance are being beat into their heads from nearly every concievable angle, but deep down in their hearts they don't care.
I don't think SJW bullshit is invasive enough to put them off of videogames, though. The AAA industry hasn't pushed for social justice as hard as it could. It's annoying, but bear in mind that it could be a LOT worse than it is now. I think the problem with games in the west leans more towards a lack of creative freedom due to money grubbing publishers who are afraid to take risks than it does towards social justice.

Now, I think that when the people who actually go to these conferences start releasing their own games it's going to be awful. MAYBE then the normalfags will start seeing a problem with it. I hold little hope though. Especially if the media keeps hammering social justice into their heads.

I've only ever followed GG from afar and laughed at the retards who rented out apartments in their heads to the GGers, but I'm on your same boat in regards of games purchases and consumption.
AAA titles are mostly garbage so I wait for reviews/bug reports and even in the case a game turns out good, most friends in my group do the same.
As far as the SJWing goes, none of us plays those games because they're shit in the first place, they would probably still be shit even without the SJWing, only one grll in out group really really loved undertale and life is strange, but meh, women.
I find myself sticking to older games and eastern releases as well, being only able to play during the weekends, made me a lot more selective on what games to invest time into.

Why does Holla Forums always have to try to cause drama and turn every single thread into a bitching for or against Holla Forums?

Fucking sick of their attempts at colonizing Holla Forums.

It's a natural progression

I don't think it's a conscious effort to colonise, just a side effect of Holla Forums being next door to Holla Forums and Holla Forums

Why do you think that every thread is Holla Forums vs Holla Forums and nothing else?

Well no shit you gave up, you completely missed the point.

Not really sure where the smug attitude is coming from to be honest. Your entire post boils down to "no one was talking about GG/pol" which, yeah, no shit, but pointing out the people exploding over what's clearly a non-issue are GG/pol, whom have a history of doing so doesn't carry any relation to the first image you posted.

If it were, "UGH, FUCKING GAMERGATE" for like 300 fucking posts or multiple threads that'd be one thing, but you have to be an absolute fucking retard to deny the heavy Holla Forums presence on Holla Forums and that it's not directly related to the political ideology of 'all things left are bad and feminism is the devil' that gamergate subscribes to.

When they're corralled into gas chambers, it will be because they forced our hands.

Is there a link to this person's tumblr?
Looks very similar to someone I knew a few years ago.

retard alert

The only time I'll ever agree with a libtard

Honestly, if you look at anything about GDC in this thread, and that's not what you're thinking, then maybe someplace like NeoGAF is more your speed.

Do these people even know what that word means anymore. Under Fascism they'd all be dead.

They think Trump is fascist, which makes me laugh

So where have you and the other shills come from? I know people like you just suddenly poured in during late 2015. Also, imageboards have been like this since inception so you'll only maybe convince complete newfags and only those from tumblr or somewhere similar.

This is obviously a political shit-flinging thread, so why delete anything here if you're going to let the thread stay up at all? Hardly anyone is actually talking about GDC.


Because you don't have a common interest with someone like Trump just because he's white. His financial interests are against yours unless you're a member of the wealthy elite. Material conditions are what determine where your allegiance should rationally be placed.


He is, but there's more to it that most of the people calling him fascist don't understand, which is that basically every US president for the past 100 years has checked almost every box necessary to be called fascist. Fascism is big corporations and big government working together, which has been a constant in pretty much every Western country for generations.

As for what all this has to do with GDC? We know liberals are money-grubbing, community-invading cancer who couldn't make a good game to save their lives. We've known this for years. Why belabor the point?

Of course.
If you take this image seriously and if you think this is what Mussolini was saying and want to talk about politics, stop there and kill yourself.

TBH the best part of using Tor is that I can instantly tell who's a retard and who isn't by who fixates on it without actually giving a proper response to anything I say.


Why wouldn't it be? Those are exactly the policies he pursued. His alliance with Hitler, who crushed labor unions, imprisoned labor activists and funneled billions to major German corporations like IG Farben and Krupp attests to that.

Usually because they have nothing of value to say.And you have already showed it, two times with this post.
Again, please fucking kill yourself

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

there is nothing wrong with being a fascist

It's my fault, i always think there are smart people and instead i got a troll.


Of course. However Fascism and National Socialism are not the same. You just need to read Hitler, Hess and Haushofer and Gentile,D'Annunzio and Mussolini.

Thanks Mark, good to see you aren't a complete fag.


Delicious.

...

Now that's a strawman considering i didn't say anything about leftism nor about any board.Do you have brain problem?

You were going to say it eventually, so I decided to make the discussion more time-efficient by getting it out of the way first.

What really gets me out is how they try and complain about Shadows of the Damned, saying that Justines story approved fat hate and self harm even though they're forgetting she is literally a damned soul and she was unwell in the head in the first place. But what the fuck do I know, I actually played the game and didn't just read the TVtropes description
Fuck I hate this crowd and I hope that speaker loses both his feet to diabeetus

Holla Forums and Holla Forums and the shitposting brigades that ruined boards like Holla Forums have this bizarre delusion that they can take over Holla Forums and become the dominant culture on the site.

Holla Forums is our soul. We may not all be goosestepping, 1488'ing cybernazis, but so much of what Holla Forums is can be traced to Holla Forums, because many, many users cross-post. Go figure, it's the biggest, most active board on the site.

Don't give them an inch. It's what they want. They want to believe that their bullshit has footing here. That they are just as valid and deserving of being treated with the same courtesy as other Holla Forums posters, but all they want is to beat Holla Forums and other legacy boards to a pulp, leave it as a sort of vidya-themed Holla Forums and then move onto the next target.

Unfortunately, Holla Forums has been completely co-opted by pro-censorship faggots. You used to be able to have a somewhat reasonable discussion with them even if you didn't agree, but not anymore.

No, no it isn't, nor should it be. This is a board for videogames, vidya is our soul. Whether you're a nazi or a commie or just some wageslave schmuck who wants a hobby to relieve his shitty life, we were brought here because we all have vidya in common. When Holla Forums had the highest active IPs and ppm we didn't dig around in every other board like we owned them.

Why is nobody discussing or mocking that GDC event? All i see are unrelated politics discussions.

You're completely misunderstanding what I mean. I'm not saying Holla Forums is invading or trying to establish dominance. Rather, Holla Forums users are already quite Holla Forums-ish in a lot of key ways, because both were forged in the same fires.

We share more in common with Holla Forums than we do these obnoxious fuckwits who worship communism and think SJWs aren't a problem and that Holla Forums is just being bitchy and hating on "good" games like Horizon Zero Dawn.

Besides, we talk vidya with Holla Forums users all the time and there's often little issue there.. But these other faggots show up and shitpost in every thread that focuses on SJW bullshit. Or they try and derail and insist that GG needs to go back to its containment thread. Regardless of where they are from or what their goals are, these faggots either need to lurk more or fuck off.

Holla Forums hates SJWs more than Holla Forums does. Reddit complains about them for this. That's where the term "brocialist" came from. The only reason leftists come into these threads is because so damn many people in them have such wrong-headed ideas about what they actually believe in. To be fair, much of Holla Forums is fucking retarded, but that applies to any political group.

>>>Holla Forums
So yes, Holla Forums is our soul, because without Holla Forums there are no video games.
lol, commies don’t have video games in common with anyone
Cry some more.

Guess you didn’t pay attention.

Do you really think anyone believes you when you say this?
The only people who don’t comprehend leftism are self-described leftists.

I half suspect that this is someone false flagging as Holla Forums, but these days it's hard to tell.

Really gets the noggin' joggin'

That depends on whether they've actually looked at the evidence or not. Unsurprisingly, most of them haven't. They largely don't even read the board's FAQ.


Most rightists don't even know the definition of socialism and haven't read anything any socialist author has written, but they still think they're qualified to tell you about how socialism works as if they're some kind of authority. Reminds me of mainstream media pundits who criticize video games for inciting sexism, violence and any other social problem without ever having played a video game themselves.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

It may well be true that a lot of Holla Forums might align more with Holla Forums, but I would say that there's a point where it gets to be a bit too much.
It's become a lot harder to talk about videogames lately. Hardly a thread goes by where we talk about whether or not a game has a cucked dev or not rather than the game itself. It's hard to bring up a new game without being sage-posted to death for perceived shilling. When the polical infighting eventually happens over something then it becomes worse. Everyone is immediately pushed to either Holla Forums or Holla Forums and moderate is a dirty word. And this is no matter who starts it up. It could be a shitposter from either side or even Holla Forums, it devolves and it seems people get sick of it

Well I guess Holla Forums is a hivemind then

...

Once a board is fucked, there's no saving it without a purge. It's going to get worse until it resembles nothing like it used to be in 2014.

All this time I thought Holla Forums were just countercounterculture smart asses, not genuinely stupid.

Stupid by design my man

Jesus Christ, and you guys were trying to say Fascism and National Socialism have important differences (they don't) while you're trying to lump in people who hate bankers and big corporations (like the outfits ripping off gamers with on-disc DLC bullshit) with blue-haired trust fund problem glasses wearers who go to GDC.

The problem is that everyone on this site is so damn preachy. Holla Forums, /leftypol, /christian/, vegans, /whatevercrazyhivemindboard/ all have this overwhelming desire to preach their side to other boards like fucking Jehovah's witnesses. Holla Forums is unfortunately caught in the crossfire thanks to our high population and video games being a very widespread hobby.

If only people could realize that no one likes being told how to think and feel. This is the core issue games have had with SJWs and why gamergate happened in the first place, yet now that conservatism has gained a foothold it seems we've opened the door for more sides to try to same garbage.

...

He straight up says "thinking Wilson deserves a fair trial is non-factual and racist". They're sjws who don't like that other sjws make them look bad.

All Holla Forums does is tell nigger jokes and post merchant memes. Holla Forums actively schemes to make 8ch their personal hugbox.

Don'ind me I'm just posting my Skype username to meet cool people
charlie8_6
No I'm not a girl
No I won't hack you

Holla Forums isn't telling anyone what to think or feel on Holla Forums though. Just try to find me one post that says otherwise.

Great, let me just scour this fucking board for you my man. You're lucky I've got time.

Fuck off you moviebob looking motherfucker. People have always liked jolly fat guys.

For a group that "hates SJWs more than Holla Forums", they certainly manage to find a suspiciously lot of common ground

By explicitly stating that anyone reaching the conclusion of Darren Wilson being innocent will be banned? That certainly doesn't sound like "allowing posts that disagree with his stance"
I never claimed Holla Forums is full of SJWs but from lurking the board, the initial claim about it being the most anti-SJW board on the site is the most blatant lie imaginable.
Anti-SJW? Sure, but most definitely not what you claimed.

So basically you admit right out the gate that you know you're wrong. Can't wait for you to find something innocuous or something a Holla Forums user started. Or even a post you made yourself and the rest of the board is barren of it.

I don't think you understand how important this line is. I can now never stop playing FZero. Captian Falcon and the Fat Samurai have to take back the Holy Land. I have a mission.

My sibling of african descent.

You're lucky I have time to go grab some physical evidence for a statement I whipped up from entirely anecdotal experiences I've had. Do you honestly think I spend my time screencapping every post I don't like in the event I'd have to argue with some rando on an imageboard? Furthermore, if you want evidence don't pull this Holla Forums false flag shit with me. You can't ask me for proof while pre-emptively telling me my proof won't matter because of your desperate attempt to damage control for your board.

It's almost like gluttony has been perceived as a negative trait for hundreds of years.

Man, you lefty faggots are getting desperate. Go back to your moms basement.

I don't think many of the people currently yelling about SJWs are old enough to remember the Bush years, let alone the 1990s, when even the Democrats had to do what Christian conservatives said. This shit just keeps on going back and forth. People may not like being told what to think and feel, but they're fine with telling others what to think and feel. This is never going to stop until that's no longer the case. What could make that happen, I don't know. As long as they think they can get a leg up in society through censorship and self-righteous moral posturing, they'll keep doing it. Just leaving others the fuck alone doesn't seem to be very popular.

...

He said that posts disagreeing with him were allowed in a containment thread. Good job ignoring that part. Holla Forums, on the other hand, doesn't have any such thing because dissent isn't allowed at all there.

Any anons have how many people actually went to this event? Last year the numbers were almost half of the previous year.

Ah, you seem to have forgotten the last half of that sentence, my man. Before you get on my ass about how tame this is, it fits my criteria of being preachy and telling other anons what to do while coming from a Holla Forums accepted stance.

Basically most nufags and underages that take bait. That's all it ever is.
STOP TAKING THE BAIT

So since you posted that image I assume that you are saying that anyone who is anti-establishment or anti-SJW is a hardcore 1488 gas all jews Holla Forums user.

That's ridiculous.

Holla Forums also hands out bans for wrongthink. Not sure why you'd defend them over that.


This pretty much. It's an imageboard. Of course there's going to be political sperging and Hitler memes.

Are you saying that Holla Forums users are only hardcore 1488 gas all jews? I guess I was giving them too much credit but I feel like that not all of them should be such an extreme caricature of the right wing.

Since you didn't deny it I guess your whole argument comes down to being ridiculous and overly sensitive. Thanks for proving that to everyone. Again.

My experience from both boards and BO/mods since the beginning of 2007 is that Holla Forums is jaded, old and pissed off were ass Holla Forums is arrogant, young and pissed off. I only follow happenings and check the stickies sometimes.

Take a look at those pics especially that name down there

Bonnie
RUBERG
R-U-B-E-R-G

mhm funny isn't it. It's almost like there is a certain group that runs/influences these groups.

NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND! ITS THE ((BANKERS))!!! THE JEWS ARE INNOCENT!!!

Because if Holla Forums had to admit that any jew was malicious their entire world would collapse

Look pal, you don't have to twist my argument around to find something to disagree with. Instead of trying to 'read between the lines' of what I'm saying, try responding to the actual things I said. That man specifically called out leftists and while I know that left and right aren't the only stances you can have, the context of the post and the fact that there is a large Holla Forums population on Holla Forums leads me to believe that this man either agrees with Holla Forums or is a Holla Forums user.

You could simply say that it wasn't good enough for you, but you attempt to appeal to the audience by saying I'm somehow making myself look ridiculous by backing up my argument. I will say that I'm probably making myself look stupid by continuing to argue with someone who clearly just wants to slap down some witty response he ctrl+c'd from his favorite shitposter, though.

Going to try to predict every response to this post.

Holla Forums: WHY THE FUCK DID YOU POST A POWER RANGERS PICTURE POWER RANGERS IS JEWISH TRASH FUCK YOU NIGGER 1488 DAY OF THE ROPE HAIL TRUMP

Holla Forums: WHY THE FUCK DID YOU POST A POWER RANGERS PICTURE POWER RANGERS IS FOR PLEBS THE ONLY SMART PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE WHO CONSTANTLY READ OBSCURE PHILOSOPHERS NO ONE CARES ABOUT

4chan/Reddit/Tumblr: WHY DIDN'T YOU POST THE BLACK RANGER YOU FUCKING RACIST SHITLORD

Holla Forums: WHY DIDN'T YOU POST PORN YOU RETARDED ASSHOLE


Holla Forums has gone downhill as of late. It used to be better about allowing dissenting opinions, but since the catgirl drama a bunch of Redditors have flooded the place.

That's nothing compared to Holla Forums.
Holla Forums has banned half of its userbase during the campaign. They literally replaced their userbase with retards from /r/The_Donald in exchange for campaign bucks.

Go there and ask what they think of Zionism.

They were invited actually. Just goes to show what the average Holla Forums cockroach is really like.

Post porn you retarded asshole.

Yeah, I know it's the jews. I have an anti-preaching stance not a shut-my-ears-and-ignore-the-facts stance.

lel

Fat
Gluttonous/Selfish/insatiable.
Gluttonous? Nah. We can stop.
Selfish? I've never met a Big Guy who never offered to share food.
Insatiable? Same as the above. . But for other non-food things? These boys can't be stopped.


Big Ol' Boys are the hardest workers Southern States still produce.
I say Big Guys have great imaginations for this shitty world.

Confident and Strong Big Guys are what women desire. You don't need ripped muscles unless you're going for the sea of pussy. A Big Guy who can lift 250+, tend the field and animals and manually repair farming equipment is husband material.

Fat Monsters? Sure.
Fat People? The most villianous fat guy in gaming history was Porky. The second is Dr.Robotnik
Some of the best bros in gaming history were also Fat , Hefty and Big.

What games do you play? Implying this human marshmellow even plays games, but anyway let me continue,

Only the most shallow games go for simple fat jokes. Decent games spread the jokes to everyone.
So of course, this freak only played shallow games.

Only the rare female characters care about that shit like that chick from Yakuza, Hana. She lost a fuck ton of weight to win the love of a guy who loved her before she was skinny, Now she's just a skinny, naggy shallow background prop.
Before she was an endlessly worried and jealous support character.

Of course they do. SJWs are just leftists too stupid to not say what they're all collectively thinking.

Please don't insult me, i'm not a leftist.
They aren't.Just read and compare them both and you will see they aren't the same, not even economically.

Holla Forums is just as bad.


Holla Forums users post a lot on reddit trying to be the edgiest communists on the block.

You're missing the context in which this invitation happened. /r/socialism started calling catgirls misogynist and a lot of them thought that was ridiculous, so they came to Holla Forums. The idea was that whoever came would be supportive of free speech. Unfortunately this turned out not to be the case. Call it an ill-conceived idea if you like, but it wasn't born out of SJWism.

I'll call Holla Forums what I call all leftists, imbeciles. What exactly did they think was gonna happen when they called reddit over?

Fucking cretins.

...

Probably a leftist version of the same thing Holla Forums thought when they invited /r/the_donald.

source?

Ah, the last refuge of the left, pretending everyone else is equally shit as them because even they know how badly they've fucked up.

Check >>>/polmeta/, it's full of threads about the Holla Forums mods catering to Reddit scum. It became especially noticeable after the election.

And again with the no true Scotsman.

Don't feel like spending 5 hours looking for that one post that might have such undertones.

Difference is that Holla Forums is used to hostile moderators. It was a thing ever since /n/ and /new/ and moot's repeated attempts to shut the place down. Holla Forums on the other hand actively wants censorship.

Why is it when your mods censor it's okay but when lefypol does it isn't?

I never said it's okay you leftist cretin, learn to read already, I said that attempts to sabotage Holla Forums are nothing new and have been a thing since the board was made.

That day was the day the BO finally went full retard and essentially killed Holla Forums with his paranoid persecution complex and power-induced madness. Believe it or not, Holla Forums had some really good moderation policies and actual thoughtful discussion prior to that incident, but it really has gone downhill. Holla Forums's post-King of Holla Forums D&C rampage around the same time polarized both boards so much it's almost depressing to think those places were not that bad not too long ago.

Many users left Holla Forums post-Ferguson because the board became the BO's echo chamber. There used to be a meta thread there to discuss what was on topic and what wasn't, but he deleted it after that. Sadly, it gained several users thanks to Reddit migrations just like Holla Forums, when corrupted boards should simply be left to die with their absurd censorship policies.

Ferguson wasn't too long into the board's existence. The biggest problem was the other mods that the BO brought on. When it was just him, the users did a decent job of keeping his worse tendencies in check. TBH I'm not sure that the current BO is the original even though no change was announced.

When will you faggot millenials stop corrupting words to mean whatever the fuck you feel like they mean to support your gay-ass agendas.
They/them is absolutely 100% correct use for someone in which you do not know what shits between their legs or what mental disorder they suffer from. Examples include last names, titles, and aliases, in which you cannot accurately refer to them if you do not know them. Did you shits just not pay attention during middle school English class or did you drink so much of the Holla Forums water that your brain is damaged?

Then what did you mean by hostile moderators, if the phrase hostile moderators doens't mean "mod who aggressively prunes dissent to ensure a singular board culture"?

The only reason the board exists in the first place is because they needed a safe space circlejerk.

...

Context you fucking nigger.This is not about a question made on someone you don't fucking see nor a formal discussion, it's about a ribbon you put on yourself with your pronouns.
I don't care if you put a cartel with written "She/Her" on yourself if you resemble Chris-Chan and have hair on your face.

ROR

It was the only gif with faggot in it that i have

A man is judged by the gifs he has.

This can't be happening. I'm in charge here

Except that isn't the context. Someone mentioned that it is used if gender is unknown and you faggots said it was exclusively plural usage, which is wrong.

Because they are not valid to use on yourself nigga. You are not going to refer to yourself as They/Them, which is the case here

You mean from a place of political discussion into a circlejerk that moderated by a hotpocketer who openly says he wants to ruin the board?
You niggas are cucks who get tread on your own board

This has nothing to do with the shitty ribbons. They are outright stating that anything but a plural meaning is incorrect, which is false. At no point do they mention using them on yourself , which I agree would be retarded and wrong.

Maybe they were considering the use with a person in front of them? Admittedly, the major use of they/them is as plural

...

Saban only used Sentai footage when it was convenient and saved him a mint, they got to a point where they only used Sentai footage for the Zord battles after 4 seasons. And when Disney finally footed the bill, they didn't even bother and shot it all in New Zealand instead. Say all you want about the arbitrary racemingling and girl power the show did, they let Kamen Rider die a horrible death overseas not only from laziness, but Kamen Rider Black was one of the most pro-Holla Forums shows out there. It never recovered since overseas, but I guess it was a good thing.

At least the games suffered the least during the early years, because Nip game devs knew how to bring it to life without pozzed crap like Chroma Squad did.

You Holla Forumstards have serious issues if you think everyone who doesn't like Holla Forumstarding it up in Holla Forums must be from Holla Forums.

Some of us Holla Forums users are sick of Holla Forums trying to colonize Holla Forums, believe it or not.

leftypol, fuck off

I agree that shit is cancer and I don't believe in banning political speech from Holla Forums (jesus fuck that shit is cancer on so many levels). My only concern is that when someone starts doing a 100% Holla Forums derail where the person is not even slightly Holla Forums-related, that person needs to be pointed back to Holla Forums.

The rest is our shit to wipe, for better or worse.

I neither post nor lurk on Holla Forums tbh. You're just proving my point about how Holla Forumstards see Holla Forums in every corner that isn't Holla Forums. And that you think Holla Forums is Holla Forums's secret club or shit.

user any regular Holla Forums faggot wouldn't be in a sjw conference thread bitching about Holla Forums

I'm a GG faggot. We still exist.

>>>/kotakuinaction/

Pic related.

Also, from my perspective you guys are the bluepilled ones. You had the opportunity to realize that political labels and sides are all a crapshoot indicator for whether someone is retarded or not, and instead said "lol I'll just be on the OTHER side wew now I'm safe and enlightened" and called it a day. And for the record, Holla Forums has great, intelligent posts from time to time, but that sure as fuck doesn't mean Holla Forums is intelligent all of the time, or even most of the time (which goes for a lot of boards, really). Also I miss old Holla Forums when it wasn't a hugbox. Those were fun times. Now you have idiots exporting their hugbox mentality to the rest of Holla Forums, acting like the whole place is their special secret club or crap. Holla Forums was supposed to be better than this. They were supposed to be opposed that shit. Now they have become the hugbox, complete with circlejerking and telling anyone who disagrees to leave the whole board instead of anything resembling proper discourse. What the fuck, man.

...

Except that's not what I said, at all. You're a special case though.

If anyone's still here after the bump limit was broken by Holla Forums and Holla Forums shitflinging, is there a masterpost somewhere of all the horrible things that were at this year's GDC?

No, but here you go:


I'm sure there was more, but this thread has been moving very slow, content-wise.

Has anybody actually figured why this is happening instead of just sitting here and stating that is happening? GDC used to have pretty good lectures. It still probably has but anyways..

Just to be clear. I mean I'm sure there was more GDC fail. The thread really was that slow.


We'll need a new thread for actual GDC discussion. My theory is that they had an open door, so idiots waltzed in and made themselves at home, and started trying to set all the rules. Then the smarter people fucked off because the idiots made the event a retarded circlejerk and general waste of time.

They still have pretty good stuff around. It's the smaller talks that go into the diversity-forcing bullshit and there appears to be quite a lot of them in the management and advocacy categories.

What I'd love to know is what kind of connection GDC and IGDA share. IGDA was the one where I noticed the neon-hair presence manifesting years ago.
