After we get so many wins, getting bored of winning. They have came back for revenge!

REVENGE OF THE SALTMINES

The song dives into a college student suffering from Donald Trumpism, worst disease of it's kind. Donald Trump has won the presidential office and is taking names. Crybaby is left in a constant state of sadness, only aided on by her school classmastes.

The only way to absorb the full meaning of my video is to…

WATCH IT NOW!

Just realized the title sounds like Revenge of the Sodomites, comment below if you think it does

Yes, this dialogue is on an answering machine in "Far Cry 5". Full text follows and map to it below.

HURK DRUBMAN, SR.: Hello, this is…goddammit, Junior, this thing even recording?

HURK DRUBMAN, JR.: Yeah, it's on. You're doing a great job, daddy.

HURK DRUBMAN, SR.: I know I'm doing great. You come from my goddamn gonads, son. I don't ever need your opinion on how I'm doing.

Hello, I'm Hurk Drubman, Sr. I'm a veteran, small business owner, a loving father, and I'm running for State Senate.

I care deeply for Montana, which is why I can no longer sit back while this state and this country are turned into Canada by godless, gunless hippies who will not rest until democracy is dead and we're all eating ketchup chips. These syrup sucking socialists sneak into our country with 300 different gender pronouns and take our high paying jobs in entertainment and hockey! They don't care about our way of life. They want to take our guns, spread their liberal agenda, and give our daughters free abortions.

If elected, I'll put a stop to these maple leaf menaces to the north. I will make sure our healthcare is more expensive than ever. I'll remove the French courses from our schools. And I will require all Montanans who were born in Canada or share their politics to be deported or shipped to California.

Finally, I'll push for more strict immigration laws and build a 700 foot tall ice wall on our border, which I'll slowly move one inch north every year until Canada is American again. Make no mistake: If you're Canadian or that dirty liberal judge Andy Walker who ruled against me and let my gold digging ex-wife steal my fortune in the divorce, your days are numbered.

I'm Hurk Drubman, Sr. and I approved this goddamn message.

And to think people were afraid that Far Cry 5 would be nothing but SJW propaganda.

They also thought Far Cry 4 would be SJW propaganda, and them Amita turned out to be a bloodthirsty dictator.

No doubt there will be more FUD when Far Cry 6 is inevitably announced.

Anita's update after article. Found it via Tumblr.

* She updates a lot more regularly these days! Ever since Tropes vs. Wom*n ended, the Feminist Frequency youtube channel has put out a whopping 80 videos… and no, you probably don’t remember nor care how long ago TvW ended, but oh well. It’s certainly a lot better than like 10 videos in four years.

* The channel now runs a bunch of different shows. On the one hand, this makes it feel a lot more decentralized, and therefore likely less prone to being overwhelmed by Anita Sarkeesian’s massive ego. On the other hand, most of these shows are the same essential premise - the flagship is definitely The Freq Show, has pulled in by far the most views of any show on the channel, with one notable Black Panther Podcast exception. But the premise of The Freq Show seems to be basically “Anita rants about stuff to the camera, with severely clickbaity titles.” I’m not kidding about that - “7 Ways to Talk To Your Racist Uncle At Thanksgiving” and “One Weird Trick For Helping Women” are actual video titles. With the exception of the Star Trek Discovery recap podcast, all other shows seem to follow this same basic format. “Feminist Frequency Radio” is the same basic premise but with more people… and the weirdest nagging feeling that they might be ripping off the Honey Badger Brigade. “Feminist Answering Machine” is also the same premise but shorter, and with a different feminist each time. And so on.

* When I said that The Freq Show was the flagship because it gets the most views, I meant that sometimes if they’re lucky it will get above 20,000 views. Realistically, however, the majority of their videos have around 2000-4000 views, especially in the past 4 months. The Freq Show has recently returned, and I have to say it’s about time the channel had a video with more than 7000 views under its belt - the months where they were taking a break and just doing Feminist Frequency Radio have been absolutely dire for the channel and its views.

* In every single thumbnail apart from the one where she was deliberately play-acting a miPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Happened because people were sick of truthless and unrelated feminist propaganda in the gaming press. People found out what a literal psycho scumfuck slut some chick Kotaku was flaunting for the sake of that shit was. We found out that the dude who was writing about her was one of the legions of thirsty betamales continously frosting the walls of said psycho slut's putrid meat cave. At first everyone thought Kotaku would be embarrassed like decent people would be and maybe decide to tone down the horse shit.Then everyone learned what an incestual clusterfuck the gaming press is and what a damn cartel the press is in general.

#Gamergate spearheaded the fight against fake news, and it was a glorious shitshow for a time. Hopefully Trump will get on opening up the libel laws like he promised.

In light of recent events (even Trump has said he's gonna look into violent video games & media), I think we need to make a database to spread.

1. Post a PDF or link to every report that proves videogames do not cause violence or make people crazy.

Articles talking about the reports/papers/dissertations/etc should also be posted here (archived). With their official tweet as well if you can.

2. Post a PDF or link to every report that shows how many people under the age of a game's rating own the game.

Same as the above. The intent is not to feed the enemy, but to show the parents are giving their kids material that is not appropriate for them. Blocks won't work if the parents seek out and get this material for their children.

Secondary Goals

3. Post a PDF or link to every report that shows social media affects kids negatively.

Same as above, and again, the internet is not to feed the enemy. SJWs and the hard-left rely on being able to appeal to young people so their politics are set as "normal" in their minds from a young age. Not to mention how social media ruins how people are supposed to socialize (to the point one of the Twitter founders says he regrets it).

> We need to stop kids from seeing material that makes them violent!

< Fine, lets stop them using Twitter to read CNN.

4. Post a PDF or link to every report that shows how kids are fucked up due to other factors outside of videogames.

Drugged for being hyper-active, boys punished for being masculine and girls punished for being feminine, kids being isolated due to their peers being brought up to not associate with anyone different from their interests, a lack of job prospects, a lack of good boyfriends and girlfriends, a lack of good friends, exposure to specific subjects too early in school (identity, sex, etc), a lack of identity outside of what they consume-

White House official channel uploaded this.

Just footage of "videogame violence". No commentary, no context, no narration.

Just the "worst" of the medium- same as if you took the worst of horror films you could lambast all film, or the worst of republicans to slander everything left of Clinton.

1. Downvote the video.

2. Post articles from this thread in the comments.

3. Spread awareness on social media (infographs, etc). Criticize the video as well. "Why just post a montage of the worst?" - get people thinking and they see through bullshit. You just have to make it obvious to them.

As with all information campaigns, the idea is not to change the minds of those at the top- but to change a big chunk of the public's desire so that it'd be career suicide to go against them.

It happened again! How many anti-Gamers revealed to be sex criminals does that make?

> “I cut a lot of corners, I’m a weird guy, and I put people off in a lot of ways, and I don’t mean to, but I never intend to make anyone ever feel uncomfortable and I need to get better. I didn’t realize. I would never intentionally want anyone to ever feel uncomfortable. Especially looking back at it, I realize that there’s definitely a lot of things I could have done differently.”

That's understandable and possibly true. He should have thought of that before he chose the side that assumes the worst of everyone's behavior and automatically declares them guilty.

> I was paid less than minimum wage for full time work, berated and belittled for hours over minor mistakes

That's not harassment, that's typical industry business practices. Maybe they could start addressing that instead?

Polygon: The ESRB’s new warning seems to hide loot boxes in plain sight

https://archive.fo/wVxAg

>Patricia Vance at first sounded a little confused by the pushback. Another reporter on the call Tuesday pointed out to Vance, the president of the Entertainment Software Rating Board, just how expansive the board’s new labeling of in-game purchases really was. Practically anything you see touted at E3 2017, The Game Awards, PlayStation Experience, it’s all carrying some kind of in-app purchase.

>Vance suggested that there are post-release expansions that are not offered for sale from within a game. I know I scratched my head trying to think of one; it sounded like the others on the line were, too. I tried to repeat the question in a different way, pointing out that a current game — South Park: The Fractured But Whole — has chapter extensions and a season pass, literally available from within the game (a bus stop serves as the marketplace for that). None of that was objectionable before loot crates hit the scene last fall. And there are no loot crates in the South Park game.

>Vance stuck to the message. A season pass and DLC offered from within the game gets the in-game purchases label, and the ESRB encourages all parents to set spending controls using tools on the platforms available.

>“The new In-Game Purchases label will be applied to games with in-game offers to purchase digital goods or premiums with real world currency,” the ESRB said in a statement, “including but not limited to bonus levels, skins, surprise items (such as item packs, loot boxes, mystery awards), music, virtual coins and other forms of in-game currency, subscriptions, season passes and upgrades (eg. to disable ads).”

>To me, it has the effect of obscuring, or normalizing (there’s a trendy word) the phenomenon of loot crates. If they’re just another in-game purchase, and gamers have tolerated them for years, what’s the BFD about this one, right? I’m not the only one who feels this way.

>A ‘Missed Opportunity’ to educate consumers

>But I do respect Lee’s consistency of message, that there’s at least a class of microtransactions that deserve more attention. I still think he and his colleagues face a steep challenge, because it can still be argued they’re seeking to regulate content, and video game publishers won big against that effort in 2011 when the Supreme Court threw out a California law and found video games to be protected works of free expression.

>For its part, the ESRB seems unwilling to call out loot boxes as any kind of special or distinctive transaction. It was pointed out to Vance that the ESRB has content descriptors for gambling (and “simulated gambling”). Not that I expected the ESRB — a creation of the Entertainment Software Association — to regulate them as such. The ESA has been clear since the Battlefront 2 controversy broke that it does not consider loot boxes to be gambling, as Lee and other regulators and lawmakers allege.

>”I’m sure you’re all asking why we did not do something more specific to loot boxes,” Vance said. And, yeah, we were. She pointed to focus-group research that suggested parents weren’t familiar with the concept, and even those who were, weren’t actually informed about what a loot crate involves.

>A more specific warning is needed

>To my mind, that would suggest the necessity of a warning more specific than the ESRB is offering, rather than a blanket label that equates story extension DLC with a spin at the wheel for virtual items. The ESRB’s thrust is clear: Drive the focus toward parental controls that are available on consoles and other systems, which we’ve called a problem already solved. This isn’t surprising, and this approach was suggested to me by others within the industry a couple of weeks ago after the Hawaii legislation was introduced.

>A public service campaign calling attention to the parental support a console provides — and has provided for years — is fine. What’s bothering everyone is this is an industry trend, and the only way that can effectively be regulated is if no one’s buying it. Good luck with that, especially on something as popular as The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars or Call of Duty.

So with talks about SESTA/FOSTA going through despite warnings from everyone (Including the DoJ, and a number of politicians), some Anons are asking the question of "How will we build another internet?"

That's what the purpose of this topic is for discussing.

Vavra mentioned that Josh Sawyer, author of Fallout series, said that if they succeed he is leaving his job and will be founding a studio of his own.

Hey guys I've been following this Social Justice thing for a while and I thought the 4chan #ItsOkayToBeWhite publicity stunt was so genius it deserved it's own anthem. Hope you dig it, cheers!

It was a good piece of agitprop that exposed some actual racists in positions of power, but people didn't follow through by collecting names, shaming, and pushing out to media.
