Youtuber violently assaulted at Gencon by sjw

Quote from: Omega;1051600I dont think assaulting someone is "politics."

Supposedly that is'why' the punch happened. A child in an adult body cannot handle someone having a different political view than he has.

But yes our Australian buddy Kyle Aaron is very much correct - always much better to play a game.

Quote from: thedungeondelver;1051861Oh sure it does. I mean, from his perspective. Alt-right, gamer-gater, I'm surprised he hasn't thrown incel and white nationalist on the table yet.

I think Hambly is a jackass. Because he did harass and bully that professional cosplayer out of the hobby she chose to pursue. He's no innocent.

But I am also very much against violence at conventions. It's unacceptable. No matter how much of a jackass the person punched has been.

Very few of us play video games or know what GG is

Quote from: Christopher Brady;1051851Anytime a person uses their body to sell something, they are whoring themselves. That includes selling their own body for looks and up to and including sex.

Tangent: This is NOT a bad thing. I'm one of those few who think that this sort of job should be legalized. Cuz at that point can be taxed, regulated and the workers can get safety nets like medical insurance. Just call it as it is.
.

Because "whoring" is a word without any negative connotations.

Quote from: RPGPundit;1051745This isn't a political thread. This is a thread about the current problems in gaming culture.

Pretty much any thread with SJW (or Nazi) in the title is a political one.

Unwelcome commentary. He made her feel uncomfortabe. And yes, that is good enough of a claim for her to have made.

Cosplayers are not at conventions for people to leer at them and disparage them. They are there trying to get work. They are showing off their skills to be able to get a job as a costume designer or to sell their services in the modelling field. Both of which many of the game companies employ them for.

They deserve the respect any professional is due.

Most of the site along with the site owner are openly not fans of GG.

So shine on you crazy fuckstick.

Your post make me deeply uncomfortable. I'm literally shaking from my twitter PTSD right now. You monster.

I'll admit I don't know this specific, but did Hambly ever talk to Sprankels? AFAIK he made some commentary on his youtube channel about her.

Unwelcome commentary isn't harassing or harrasment. He never harassed her. He said she isn't in the MTG community because she is just there to make a buck and that's true.

Correct. He made a couple negative comments about her on a YouTube video. That isn't harassing her nor forcing her out of the community. It's thirsty nerds white knighting her hopes of getting laid.

WoTC just used it as an excuse to ban somebody they didn't like.

Quote from: HappyDaze;1051829Most of the law is the expression of yesteryears' voting public. Today's voting public can change that some, but it's a very slow and difficult process.

Sort of. Yesteryear's voting public picked up what was there, modified it, changed their minds a few times and more, all the while new generations started voting, influencing it and more. It does collectively represent, though it may not represent whatever is the youngest or smallest generational block. It may seem unbearably slow to the Adderall and Ritalin generation, but that's the way it works, and anyone here over the age of 50 has seen a lot of change in their lifetime.

Really?
Even if it was about a roleplaying game campaign idea that is set during World War II?

Good catch. I will qualify the Nazi in my original statement as not being an actual historical Nazi. Political name calling makes a thread political.
