“Let’s talk about Steven Anderson, leader of the NIFB, aka the New Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Church. He’s the pastor of Faithful Word Baptist Church, and some of his ideas get deeply disturbing. Interestingly enough, his ideas converge pretty well with kanye west’s ideas, as well as alex jones.”
This is the guy who got into hot water, for his “punch your gay kid” sermon.
“A playful look at some of the world’s most iconic toys.We spent hours playing with them as children. We remember them long into our adulthood. But how much do we really know about our favorite toys?“The Story of Toys” is a fascinating factual series for both adults and children, that looks at this magical world, and explores how some of our most cherished toys relate to the history and culture of a nation. Each episode is dedicated to one specific toy group, from high-tech toys and dolls, to costumes, monsters and miniatures.In each episode, three children from three different countries – France, USA and Japan – are treated to a surprise journey to discover more about their favorite toys. Going behind-the-scenes of some incredible locations, they explore the secrets of a giant toy factory, visit international toy conventions and take part in exciting toy workshops.There are also plenty of fun facts about the toys, and we learn the background story of each toy: what made them famous in the first place, and why they still appeal to generations of children.”
“Limited Run Games has effectively destroyed its credibility with gamers by publicly firing their female community manager over following the “wrong” accounts on Twitter, including Gina Carano and Libs of TikTok. And the WORST crime? Publicly saying she was looking forward to Hogwarts Legacy. Who got her cancelled? None other than Purple Tinker, the controversial founder of BronyCon who has a lengthy history of rage and harassment, and admits to being “a bully.” Was it worth it, LRG?”
Wait a minute…
…This [a game developer killing himself, while a publisher continues on to publish his game] makes the third, entirely unique claim over “what started gamergate”.
I thought gamergate was about dishonest and biased game reporters and critics…and it got initially exposed, when a game developer had sex with a game reporter…while said reporter was reporting on their new game.
A second claim emerged after that, that gamergate was all about misogyny, and abusive gamers [especially in MMO and multiplayer games].
All of these may be fair criticisms and real problems…but I got introduced to gamergate via the “sex scandal” one…
To be entirely honest…I ended up with a gut sense, that there may have been a bit of “tit for tat” going on…and abusive gamers may have just been a convenient issue, to throw back into the faces of people complaining about corrupt game reporters…It is of note, the abusive gamers angle was being pushed hard by game reporters.
But the two claims on “what gamergate is”, were very different…And here we have another one.
“Limited Run Games allegedly fired their community manager for publicly expressing excitement for Hogwarts Legacy, as well as following and liking the “wrong” accounts on Twitter. Then we talk about how Kotaku literally defamed former Hogwarts Legacy lead developer Troy Leavitt in a recent article, yet you’re not allowed to question their “journalistic integrity.”
“Hogwarts Legacy pre-sales are VERY good, despite the attempt to ‘cancel’ the highly-anticipated Harry Potter video game. In fact, the game is the highest selling PS5 title of the year, according to Amazon. Meanwhile, the salt is flowing on Twitter, with one Twitch streamer gaining traction for telling people to “f off” if they support the game.”
I may wait for a sale…but I do intend on buying this game.
This has nothing to do with the tired, ongoing fight…but I don’t mind it, if the authoritarian a-holes know about it.
