It is the height of ridiculousness that I feel compelled to come down on one side or another of the “death threats” issue. Like Danny Glover, I am too old for this shit. One of the ways you know I am too old is that I make references Danny Glover. Here’s what’s going on: a distilled form of Abuse is being iterated on a profound and gruesome scale. Such people cannot be allowed to win. Ever.
You can’t threaten people with death, and I resent very strongly being made to type that out. Not only can you not do that because you can’t fucking do it, it has the power to obliterate everything else you say. In fact, it obliterates everything the people around you are trying to say. That’s what has happened now. I know that this situation is more complex than anyone is willing to enunciate. I know that “Gaming Journalism” is a contradiction in terms. But they’ve broken your banner, now, and you helped them do it. I grieve for the ones who tried to do it right. When your media doesn’t represent you, or actively attacks you as it has here, it’s not your media. You’ll have to make your own, and it’s not impossible. It’s more possible now than it has ever been in human history, and you’re reading an example of it at this moment. Go your own way.
I’ve enunciated a reasonable position though, right? That you can’t threaten people’s lives? Watch me get crucified for it; let my crossbeams be made from two sturdy hashtags.
That was sometime last October, apparently concerning Anita not showing up to one of her events because of death threats. Opinion might be different now that gamergate's dropped all pretense of legitimacy, but I haven't found anything more recent.
Also, people be using DJ as a Jamaica name. Street Fighter did it. Total Drama did it. Probably others.
Listen. Nobody in Jamaica goes by DJ. No one. It's a formerly English island. They use English names. Winston. William. The PM's named Portia Simpson Miller, for crying out loud. Sometimes they have ridiculous nicknames, but even then, they're the kind of nicknames you'd expect from a formerly English island.
I like that Blanca is like a stereotype from a strange alternate universe.
Funny thing, really. Brazil's unique in that it has 'two' unrelated fighters that call it home. Besides the US and Japan, only Mexico has that honor (as far as I know). One's Blanka, who is, well, Blanka, and the other is Sean, who's another shotoclone.
Meaning Brazil has no representative for their most famous martial art. Because Jamaica's stuck with him.
why does it gotta be jamaican for a jamaican guy to do it?
i mean by that logic the only martial art that americans could perform would be aggressively sloppy burger noshing
Listen.
Every chracter in Street Fighter is representative of their country, and Capcom usually does whatever it takes to make them thematically accurate. They made yoga into a bone-melting, fire-breathing martial art for Dhalsim. They made bullfighting a valid form of combat for Vega. Blanka and Dee Jay are the only ones that they significantly screwed up in the original generation (as opposed to T. Hawk, who was only maginally screwed up)
both tumblr and something awful are way better when they admit to just being nerds (or at least don't deny it) instead of doing the whole "nerds are terrible glad i'm not a nerd" bullshit
though at least when goons do it they admit they just hate autistics instead of hiding behind levels of irony when they say no actually bullying is good
I just saw the coolest thing I have seen in my life. I think some sort of space craft or man-made satellite broke up in the sky. It was like a meteor shower, but condensed into a streak. It looked like this:

this is a case where the other party is so morally compromised and terrible that penny arcade has the moral high ground
