Subject: Zoe Quinn and the five guys; corruption in video game journalism
Wizardchan is a Japanese-inspired image-based forum (imageboard) for male virgins to share their thoughts and discuss their interests and lifestyle as a virgin. The name of our website is inspired by the term wizard, a meme of Japanese origin that means 30-year-old virgin. In contrast to other imageboards, Wizardchan is dedicated exclusively to people who have no sexual experience and may be NEET or hikkikomori.
Now that is sad @_@

You know what everytime I discuss things with you you keep descending into. "Oh no this person didn't mean it as an insult."
When evidence has showed that is what he is doing. Check his tweets. Tell me if you really think he means well.

Not really, if you have 2 virgins meet on the site, then they might not be on that site for long

Devin Faraci has no reason to be tweeting about wizardchan unless he's trying to draw attention to the fact that it is a site dedicated to 30+ year old virigins. His tone and intonations can only be of a mocking nature.

He's the guy that also called gamers worse than ISIS.
I mean its not like he says....
I find that kind of funny, because there is corruption in everything... So. Does he live in a world that thinks corruption is non-existent?
Man, the crazies are still at it? I... don't know as I would have been able to remain so polite in the second picture.

But imagine, if you will, an alternative universe where the only cars available are sports cars. In this universe, you are a Corvette enthusiast who has driven Corvettes for decades. Mustangs? No way. You're hardcore for Chevy in the Muscle Car Wars. Then one day, Chevrolet announces that the new 2015 Corvette will have a smaller engine, to make room in the back for a new set of pre-installed child seats. The automotive press lauds the fact that Corvette has become a more inclusive brand which has embraced the family driver. When you, an outraged Corvette fan, begin complaining loudly that this is a betrayal of the Corvette brand... you are criticized for hating children!
Now, imagine that you are a single parent with three children in this same alternative universe. You don't want a sports car. You want a safe, affordable car for driving to work and school. You are worried about pollution and want to save money on gas. Ford, suddenly waking up to a market opportunity, decides to build a new factory that will create a new line of four-door sedans with hybrid gas-electric engines. As a result, the release of the new Mustang is delayed six months. An outraged Mustang-driving sociopath goes on Twitter and threatens to crash his car into the first parent he sees driving a Ford sedan. The automotive press warns that car enthusiasts hate parents and proclaim that gearhead culture must die so that everyone can drive without fear.
That's actually pretty good.

Saw a game designer post that up. And decided to follow him.
Looks like a bunch of game designers are weighing in on this mostly siding with gamers and yelling. "Oh come on journalists!"
Completely agreed. They would tear GW a new one if they saw that.
But I don't think people would understand. ITs a grimdark future, where everyone is treated that way. But men are usually sacrificed or thrown into gladitorial rings. Which is worse, being forced to have sex? Or being forced and getting killed and or pain and suffering for the rest of your life? To be honest I would rather take death.
Try and imagine the field day Anita would have on 40k.... Some how the dice and assault phase became rape supporters and an avenue for us to abuse women!
Also it seems Jenni Goodchild is right on Devin Faraci over the whole virgin thing and has recently opened up with talking to people about gamergate. She was having a really good back and forth with MundaneMatt that was completely reasonable.
Also like to bring up #LiterallyWho since the journalists and media (as if pushed by a PR company) keep trying to make this about Zoe Quinn that hashtag popped up to show how irrelevant she is.

No, I mean, who was he calling a virgin?
It is not clear in the post on your image. At all.

Let us be honest, the first trope in 40k about women is that there are no women, only right-handed white men.
It has been ten years since the last model release for Sisters of Battle, there was not a single release of a female imperial guard or commissar or inquisitor in the mean time. During those ten years, unless I am mistaken, the only faction that had any female model release was the sado-masochistic space elves. And maybe some new daemons for the god of pleasure.
But yeah, 40k is the realm of sexual equality, right, spot on!

Could not be more wrong.
-Orks hold the largest population
-Orks have no gender
-Orks are green
-Orks have bunch of lefties
Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.
If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.

Who are you kidding. In the far future of 40k, there are only space marines. And a few punching bags for those space marines.
Nice smart-ass, though.

As posters are still disregarding the requests with regards to content this thread is done.
