Even if it wasn't the fun new Batgirl, the Killing Joke was a really dark storyline that even Alan Moore felt bad about after the fact. I feel like that while, yes, we got Oracle, at what cost? Bringing that back for their fun new Batgirl series was a horrible idea, really horrible. I am glad they changed it, but yeah, people who were protesting it literally got harassed from all corners. Comics is not better than games in this respect, as a lot of GG people also jumped into that fray at well. Hrm, I wonder what the common denominator on that one was.

Official Giant Bomb Thread Mostly for Complaining About Dan
Apple Cider replied to tegan's topic in Idle Banter
Maybe it's just the book synopsis but I would love to erase my anxiety, that and other mental issues stole years off my life and productivity, my artistic skill. My anxiety made me a suicidal recluse who was unable to function on a daily level. I didn't make my anxiety "work for me", I struggled and worked very hard with therapy to learn coping mechanisms and eventually learn how to undo the very harmful things anxious brains do to you (like catastrophizing). To say someone like Dan got his job from harnessing his anxiety is also just patently hilarious since I doubt that was the real cause. -

Official Giant Bomb Thread Mostly for Complaining About Dan

http://www.amazon.com/dp/0692401512/ref=cm_sw_su_dp I've been staying out of this thread because I don't care that much about Dan but this book is actually going to make me have an aneurysm as someone who has been a life long anxiety sufferer (though a lot of mine is related heavily to abuse, so YMMV.) -
Same, actually, at home.
-
My condolences, Jon.

Isn't Grimachu Slade Villena? I can't even keep these fucklords straight. Edit: Oh I guess he's a different pervert harasser game dev or something

This feminism thread in that respect, is slightly better than other feminism threads I've been in. The last forum I was on (and left, actually, despite being there for years) had a feminism thread I started that ended up being so "well-meaning" but full of male allies not grokking 101 stuff that all of the women basically stopped posting. I almost left Idle Thumbs initially because I have a hard time dealing with men sometimes in any feminism topic.

I think GamerGhazi direct capping and linking to Maddy Myers tweets on the subreddit was a creepy tactic because it basically provided people a contextless way to go harangue her. Reddit is shit, people. I don't care how many "good" subreddits you have on there or whatever, Reddit is a giant shithole that ALSO houses KiA and even more horrific things. GamerGhazi is like erecting a giant house right next to your enemy so you can see what they are doing from the comfort of your own home and then not doing jack shit when they go outside to whack someone.

Especially in a state where religious organizations have a huge amount of control. Especially since most of the money to try and pull the rug out from Prop. 8 was from Utah.

I LOVE GINGERS

He actually dropped out of Blizzard before WoW even got to Vanilla so he hasn't been a part of the company in any meaningful sense in a very long time.

Other than wasting millions of VC dollars on projects that never got finished and then eventually being kicked off his own game.

I call Varin "Baby" and "Asshole" depending on what he's doing.

The one, the only, Varin. The most beautiful cat in the world.
-
Is it cat talk time because I have the most beautiful cat and I feel bad for anyone who follows me on Twitter because I just post cat pics.

Well, here's the issue I've always had with Wonder Woman being an Amazon or whatever - she would be brown or black, not white. She never even looks tan.
-
yeah does dire mean excessively badass
-
See, I thought the wristblades were awesome. But yeah, I like Wonder Woman redesigns that look practical but they never stay.
-
I really like this costume, feels very in line with other superheroes.

The universe is a strange place. I love when weird unexplainable shit goes viral, or when we all commune around one strange occurrence, like the fucking escaped llamas.
