As wholly as I disapprove of and cringe at this shit in RPG rulebooks, this also contains one of the most objective and succinct summation of Goobergait I've ever seen.

Still has no place in a sourcebook though, very unprofessional and not contributing to the discussion just the circle jerk of those who already agree or who won't be open to changing their mind to something coming from this space.

You know, what surprises me is that they never make these terrifying. Like, it's the World of DARKNESS. Shouldn't Gamergate be, like, fearsome masked killers who are like the droogs from A Clockwork Orange? You know, gleeful murderers whose exploits get cheered on by the public?

Nerdshit is 90% Gatekeeping revolving around whether or not you can spare an hour to memorize how to role dice and obtain the derived stats of your characters. At least in the tabletop scene.

I've been in games where we gloss over buying shit and go slaughter trash mobs and then spend time sorting out loot to min/max to the extreme and focus on dungeon crawling with social shit being glossed over in favor of collecting goblin skulls.

I've been in games where we spend a whole session buying trucks and have a hyper lethal engagement with a scout force from an invading army and loose half our cohort and all the fucking combat is like that so we try to avoid it as much as possible and stack things in our favor.

If you want a group you can game with you fucking gatekeep and kick out anyone who fucks with your fun.

Venser is clearly a different design space than whats-her-name and doesn't even flicker in the same way

that and there is almost zero reason to ever have him flicker himself
>>
>>51816619

I'm just saying, it feels like they're missing the point.

In the World of DARKNESS, social justice is not going to work. Like, the Technocracy fucking hunts down and kills/converts Mages, even those who do things like heal people with holistic treatments. Wouldn't the Syndicate and the Progenitors actively wipe out people like that, for views that are not conducive to True Progress?

I mean, if this is a gothic-punk realm of horror, things are supposed to be WORSE than our real world. You'd have stuff like neo-Nazis having enthusiastic support, vampires actively targeting those who can't defend themselves, and any attempt at resistance or pushing for social justice would be met with gunfire.

For instance, Standing Rock protestors versus Pentex? The bodies would hit the fucking floooorrrrrrrrrr. Or, I don't know, nerd gamers create virtual avatars to rape and murder helpless gamer-girls at will. (You know, like the Virtual Adept Marauders from the Book of Madness.)

I want you to take a goooooood long look at the text on the card and then find me a single reasonable situation where it would be correct to flicker Venser rather than another permanent you own

Kaya's flicker protects her while giving her more loyalty while her other ability gets the 2 life back anyway, you could see what sort of value engine they were going for but it just didn't quite work
>>
>>51817418
No, I'm not trolling. I'm pointing out that you, rather flippantly, tried to suggest that Kaya is the first planeswalker capable of flickering herself, and are now getting buttblasted that you're wrong on that count.

Even if Kaya "occupies a different design space", that doesn't mean that you weren't wrong. It also doesn't change the fact that Kaya occupies a rather useless design space, whereas people actually play Venser because he can do things that actually directly lead you to win the game.

But mostly the first point: You suggested Kaya was somehow unique in her ability to flicker herself. She isn't.
>>
>>51817465
>I want you to take a goooooood long look at the text on the card and then find me a single reasonable situation where it would be correct to flicker Venser rather than another permanent you own

You know your opponent is running Vampire Hexmage, don't have a way to counter if if your opponent plays it on his next turn, and want to protect Venser for the turn because his -1 ability is more useful to you at the moment than his Ultimate.

It was a pretty shitty argument wholly based around the idea that Kaya is somehow doing something no planeswalker has done before. I pointed out you're wrong, and you shifted the goalpost.

That's the sum total of what's happened.

>but you see my point?

No, because that's just off the top of my head. I don't exactly have tens of thousands of cards memorized and, despite playing Magic since 1997, I'm not actually all that great at the game. I DO know, however, that I have run Venser, mostly in EDH, and there have been several times that it's been in my interest to flicker him.
>>
>>51817527
Well its what happens to everyone in tezzerets familiy, even tezzeret.
>>
>>51817465
Kaya's flicker doesn't give her more loyalty.
>>
>>51817567
but flickering Venser is clearly an exception to the rule rather than the entire point of the card. I don't even know what the point of this argument is any more because you insist on just arguing semantics. I don't even think the card is good or anything, I just like the design space for fuck's sake
>>
>>51817672

>>
>>51817717
No it's just taught not to get into arguments with strong headed twats on /tg/ who can't admit something that is clearly true

Keep in mind that you are trying to refute my point of saying that Kaya is new design space for a planeswalker by saying that that space has already been explored by Venser, which anyone can see it clearly isn't.

I wouldn't really call it 'moving the goalposts' as much as you being 'technically correct'

Yes vensir can flicker himself but it's nothing like the way Kaya does
>>
>>51817818
For the record, by the way, Karn's middle ability can also be used to exile himself, although that is mostly only useful if you have turned Karn into a creature and have Experiment Kraj on the field, then stack the activation of Kraj's stolen abilities from Karn such that Karn is exiled and then Kraj restarts the game.

>>
>>51817852
But that's not what you said. You said, or rather flippantly implied, that Kaya is unique in her ability to exile herself. She doesn't. And while she is a little different from Venser, that doesn't somehow make her totally new and unexplored ground. More to the point, Venser is *actually useful* thanks to the minor differences in how he functions, which is more than Kaya can claim.

Also, there's no such thing as "technically" correct. I'm either right or I'm wrong, and in this case, I'm right.

>>51818079
I think we were less concerned over a black lady on a Magic card, at least in my case, more concerned with how much of a big deal Wizards were trying to treat it as being, as though we had never had black people on Magic cards before. As though Mirage, Visions, and Prophecy never happened.

My problem with GG is that it was so disorganized that it was easy for the most retarded to become the face of it.
In my view, GG was not just about game journalism, but about Left-Wing politics in vidya. I share some of the grief against the Left, but I also thought that the Left wasn't always wrong. I was also concerned that the Left's poisoning of the well would result in GG being drawn in by the Right-Wing rather than avoid political alignment.
What is weird to me that even though GG is dead, Left-Winged organizations and individuals like to blame them on a bunch of things, such as Ghostbusters and the 2016 election. I think all three of those events had one thing in common: the Left's alienation biting them in the ass.
Really, I hope that the SJWs and the Alt-Right fuck off. The SJWs are heretics who make me embarrassed to be a liberal (apparently I am one) and the Alt-Right overvalue their hyper-nationalistic ideals over pragmatics and facts.
I'm worried my apathy will overtake me and I will start to enjoy the drama and lose my sense of right.

Holy shit, you don't know fucking anything about GamerGate.

>It was more a bunch of anons
No, not "anons," people. It was made by a bunch of people. Right from the start you try to discount GamerGate and the people making it up. Still, it's better than calling everyone trolls, which is what nearly everyone in the media and on the anti side seemed to be doing.

>shill bogeyman
I assume here you're talking about how GG contacted the advertisers for websites. I don't know what your argument is here, these websites published hit pieces on gamers, and GG just let the advertisers know how much these sites were shitting on their target audience.

>shouted down anyone who pointed out they could gather up legit sexism and racism and fight against those
The problem being there is so little legit sexism and racism actually going on in gaming. One of the biggest points of GG was the anti side calling gamers racists and sexists and telling everyone how horrible they are, and gamers defending themselves and saying they aren't. Really, the racism and sexism seemed to almost always be coming from the anti side. Just look at how the anti side talked down to #NotYourShield, saying everyone involved was just a sockpuppet, discounting the very people they say they represent because they didn't go along with the narrative of talking about how shitty gamers are. I'll also point out how GamerGate donated money to a group called The Fine Young Capitalists, which was doing a project to make women more involved in the video game industry. Who were then attacked by the anti side.

Also, you don't seem to realize how a movement works, it doesn't just last for as long as possible, it just lasts until it fulfills its goals. GamerGate fulfilled its goals, which is why it's not a thing anymore. This is one of the reasons people say Feminism is like a religion. It doesn't have any tangible, achievable goals, it just wants to convert as many people to Feminism as possible.

They're just two sides of the same coin. SJWs hate White science, the Nazis hated Jewish science. They're both reality-denying retards. I really don't think the base conflict is SJW vs. Nazi, it's collectivist vs. individualist, and SJWs and Nazis are just two different versions of collectivists.

I think that there is quite a bit, but it's not very common. I know that according to some Pew survey that men were more likely than women to receive verbal harassment, but not as likely to receive something more serious. Apparently the survey was cited by some report that for no substantiated reason says that women were 27 times more likely to be harassed than men.

The thing is that while I do actually believe that feminism CAN be a good thing for America, since I do believe there are some issues that need to be addressed (maternity leave, handling sex crimes, wage gap (although I doubt the gap is as large as claimed)), the problem is that a lot of feminists act like assholes and idiots who would rather waste time talking about "manspreading" and being entitled hypocrites.
I just hope there's some way to get these manipulative Left-Winged assholes to stop poisoning the well. I actually don't want everyone to be divided.

Yes, Christianity actually did invent separation of church and state. The devision between secular authority and religious authority grew out of Christian Europe. The muds, on the other hand, have no such tradition. For them, all authority was religious in nature, and you either conformed or they tortured and murdered you and enslaved your entire family. That's what you leftists are supporting.

Nah, a lot of the left just wants to get to the real Christian ideals

Like feeding the hungry and tending to the sick and clothing the naked

Like treating prostitute and merchant and governor and tax collector and Jew and gentile equally

Like caring for the least among us as though they were our Lord and Savior

To be perfectly fair, if Gamergate never happened, then /pol/ wouldn't have reorganized and subsequently surged in popularity in react to perceived censorship on the art of the janitors.

And, because Gamergate happened just before the elections, /pol/ reformed itself just as Trump became viable as the centerpiece of new political movement. A faction moved to 8/pol/- on website that only exists because of Gamergate- and became hardcore internet nazis for Trump and the rest who sayed on 4/pol/ became obsessed with Trump memes.

My point is there's a clear distinction between Judaic jurisprudence as seen in Mosaic law and post-Council of Jerusalem (see Acts) Christianity which assumes the simpler regulations of Noahide Law (see Genesis directly after the Flood and Noah). You can't really use examples of Judaic law not seen in Noahide law and apply them to Christianity, because that sort of law had already been assumed fulfilled by Jesus. There's an internally-consistent logic there.

You just made an ass of yourself. Every time someone on /gamergatehq/ went against their precious narrative of "We're oppressed" they started to shout down and shitpost the opinion as much as they could. Just like the SJWs.

I posted a thread about pointing out actual examples of sexism in games, and calling out companies. But apparently, that's "giving SJWs ammo". And yes, I know about FYC, because I supported and gave money to them, and I also contacted multiple reporters, their sponsors, and LGBT support groups after the suicide of Rachel Bryk to give my scorn after the reporters used her death to further their agenda. I also was one of the people who pointed out the fact that Brianna Wu's "gross fucking aspie" comment was made by a fake account.

One of the last straws for me was when they decided to brand some guy I forget the name of as an anti-semite for making criticism towards Israel's political actions. Guess what I was called when I said that was morally and ethically wrong? That's right, a shill.

Nobody sent emails, barely anyone dug shit up, people were just talking big about nazi-punching while being too lazy to actually do anything themselves. There was only a small amount of people who actually had the backbone to do anything, and I wont admit to be one of them but I did personally contact others for various unethical acts, and the last time I did that was with Beamdog's trannypandering in their Baldur's Gate expansion which upset my transgendered friend to where she refused a copy of not only the expansion, but the base game from me as a gift as well.

It was 95% circlejerk, 4% somewhat actives, and 1% people who got shit done. Is it dead? Fuck yes. Is media still corrupt? Fuck yes. Is it getting better? Fuck no.

The root of these types of conflicts is that many of the participants have this zero-sum thinking, where if we call out the wrong bad behavior we end up giving the other side some ammo. If anything, showing that you have standards on both sides shows that you are the moderate and do not turn a blind eye to things that may hurt your side's reputation. If someone makes a mistake, and it's not corrected, that's a second mistake.

I consider myself to be a GG sympathizer, but I also try to be fair with anti-GG.

What surprises me is how some celebrities and "journalists" still think Gamergate is a thing or has had much of an impact.
I do believe that the Left is repeating their mistakes by poisoning the well of their opposition, with GG, Ghostbusters, and the 2016 Election being examples. If they don't change their ways, then I fear that there are going to be so many bitter defectors that the Left will die, and as a Liberal I do not actually want that.
For the record I do think the last one, the Election, was ultimately the fault of Alt-Right ideology undervaluing facts and misplacing blame, so I'm not necessarily the "fukin SJWs" type. Of course the media is going to be biased against Trump. He's so unconventional and unorthodox that most of the media is going to say "What is he doing? This isn't the way it's supposed to be! These changes defy common sense!" That's about as fair as I can be to Trump.

What was the point of specifically hiring a African-American to write her, again? Absolutely nothing she did the stories she was in had anything to do with being black.

Frankly, /tg/s are left very well alone, most places that have any kind of pandering to any side are the palces you would expect to. The thing is, times are changing, faggits are trannys are more and more represented in all of culture, but tgs never really had the "we have to shove mionoretys into everything" phase so it will be still a year or two before authors learn how to write faggots and trannys that are more than one dimensional characters defined by their love of cock or dislike of their own lack of tits. Give it a year or two and it will work itself out, the more people bitch about just the fact that there is a sexual minority in a game instead of criticizing the characters shitty writing the more shitty characters we will see

This might be because the people trying to combat it got as pants on head retarded as the sjws. Here is the thing about the sjw vs anti sjw problem, there were easy ways of fixing it, debunking the whole thing in a liberal fashion, and supporting the people who were not retarded on the side of the sjws, what happened is that we got (at some points literally) the whole stalinists vs fascists thing. No one likes fascism, no one like stalinism, anyone in their right mind would want both to go and stay go, but for what ever reason we let them dominate the whole thing, and as they are a very loud minority, politician and such started to allying themselves with the belies of the loudest idiots out there. Same thing with tgs will happen if the sane people dont take a stance. You wanne know why beast was completely re-made to be not-so-sjw? Because beta testers and stress testers looked at it, and told WW "dude, this is lighting your dick on fire and fucking a power outlet levels of retarded, stop this", which got support from the normal costumers.

Fake news. She supports charter schools, so it's no surprise shitlibs in the pocket of the teacher's unions want to trash her.

Let's practice something called "empathy".

Some White Wolf Writer has a particular set of beliefs. Now, let's not challenge the beliefs right now, just assume that they are true, and reach the logical conclusions:

>gamergate was about the oppression of women by a toxic culture of white males.
>oppression of women is bad
>I have a platform where I can write supportive stories to the oppressed women, with little consequence, because the audience of my product largely agrees with me
>Not standing up to oppression is moral cowardice

Again, I'm not saying these beliefs are true, only that they are held, and if held, compel the writer to put in the anti-gamergate story.

Empathy is the ability to put yourself in the position of another, examine their beliefs, without necessarily adopting them for your own, and then understanding how those beliefs lead to specific actions. You should develop it, because it is a very useful skill.

I'd even argue it's part of why Trump won. It wasn't only WASPs voting for him. Minorities have realized the left doesn't respect them and actively discriminate against them to sustain the narrative that they're underprivileged. So the ones that weren't getting givemedats voted for the asshole who won't coddle, but won't "overprotect" them into failure either.

Because I'm certain that actually happened, and isn't just drummed up bullshit set up to sell clicks by making the attacks seem more exciting.

Don't get me wrong, that sounds like something that could have happened -- but there's no actual guarantee, and I haven't been able to find any corroborating sources. As a result, I have to assume that its far more likely that the Bataclan terrorists behaved just like most other terrorists who take hostages during police standoffs (i.e. they try to convince the hostages that they aren't bad people, and had a good reason for this, while simultaneously trying to keep them calm, on the grounds that the police will rush them if there's an obvious riot going on).

I have no reason to think these terrorists were any different, because Brietbart, like most media sources (and especially ones that aren't "mainstream"), can sell more clicks by making up some details to make the whole situation more exciting and dangerous.

Hell, you're on /tg/. You should know by now that the real world is usually far more boring and less edgy than you'd like.

>>51824630
Part of the problem is that we all live in bubbles of thought. A guy on facebook sees his friend posting conservative ideas that he doesn't agree with, and he ignores him so he doesn't have to see it. A girl on 4chan sees someone posting something they don't agree with on a board so they drop it and retreat to pol. The internet has made it incredibly easy to ignore dissent and reinforce your own ideas with likeminded people, to the point that very few people have realistic views of the world's opinions.

A white wolf writer probably has a very liberal work and friend culture surrounding him, and filters out conservative viewpoints consciously or subconsciously, creating the perhaps false idea that the majority of his readers are likeminded liberals.

It's getting to the point where this is happening with our news media too. People dismiss news sites that present articles unfavorable to their beliefs, and retreat to even crazier sources, like Infowars or HuffPo, leading to the fake news crisis.

It arguably influenced the election. Pollsters thought Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio were locks for Hillary,despite evidence to the contrary. This might be because people who voted trump didn't trust random pollsters enough to actually share that, or it might have been due to incorrect polling mechanisms brought on by actual confirmation bias.

>>51824723
Here's a pretty good example of what I'm talking about. This guy correctly believes that the perpetrators of the 2015 Paris attack were french citizens (technically, some were belgian). This is correct, but it isn't the whole story, and he's either willfully or subconsciously ignoring the fact that the attackers got training in the middle east, and then exploited the immigration crisis to easily cross borders as Registered Terrorists.

Yeah, that's pretty accurate.

Though to be honest, regarding "registered terrorists", increased immigration control would not have made any difference -- as citizens, they still could cross via any border, and unless they were on a very specific list and the border guards were feeling especially thorough that day (assuming there were any to intercept them), they still could pass between France and any other European nation without issue.
>>
>>51824863
> increased immigration control would not have made any difference -- as citizens, they still could cross via any border
Bullshit. They were known terrorists and if it weren't for the fact that Europe has open borders they would have been stopped on their way back in. They snuck in via the refugee program, which has fuck all in terms of checks for identity. If they had been, they would have been found out and the attack would have been stopped.

>>
>>51824849
No, we actually have a very legit system for this anon, that relies on empathy. It's called trial by jury, and self defense laws. If your belief that your life was in danger, and lethal force was necessary to save it, is considered reasonable by your jury, you'll probably be let go in most jurisdictions. Before the jury even gets to analyzing whether your presumptions were reasonable, it has to understand your presumptions (the actual process of empathy)

Self Defense, as a concept applied in american law, would never work if the juries were not allowed to, or could not, empathize with the accused.

I don't know much about Europe's immigration controls. For reference, my source is the Guardian, and quotes in it by french officials, which I haven't verified independently.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/20/paris-attacks-france-launches-un-push-for-unified-declaration-of-war-on-isis

The implication seems to be though that tighter border controls might have prevented some of the terrorists from getting in. But that may just be someone posting a narrative.

Fuck off shitlib. For years you people have been able to talk politics on every board, blabbing on and on about how wonderfully progressive you are. But the moment anyone disagrees, you scream "BACK TO /pol/!" But now the pendulum is swinging, and your time is ending. Now we don't have to hide our beliefs for fear of liberals trying to get us fired or ostracized. And guess what? It's all thanks to you. You shitlibs ran the country for decades and all you did was run it into the ground while screaming that everyone around you was a racist, sexist deplorable. And now America is sick of your kind, they've had enough and so now we can finally come out and speak our minds again.
>>
>>51824908
Still have to disagree there. There are tons of spots on France's border where anyone with or without a car could get in without getting caught. And terror lists are long, and often feature inaccurate photographs; how well do you think some border patrol guard would do in spotting someone in a cheap disguise off of a list of thousands of names?

Even if they used cameras, said terrorists would be over the border long before anyone checked the recognition software.

My answer was for

>That's the sort of people you shitlibs are trying to import.

The terrorists are not coming from the outside. The majority is radicalized domestic ones, and the hard stance against refugees and the rampant right wing power demonstrations keep giving more and more incentive for radicalization; and not just muslim ones, but to fucked /pol/fags who want to shoot up schools and mosques.

The sad this is that you could easily make compelling games that explore social issues/different cultures without resorting to what amounts to advertising.

I'd be totally down for a game where you're a runaway slave running to freedom while making hard choices about risking your own freedom for the freedom of your companions.

>The terrorists are not coming from the outside.

But these terrorists did come from outside.

They started inside, went outside, got put on lists, got training, and then came back inside, from the outside. I don't think most of the wall builders want to ban all muslims. They want to stop immigration temporarily to prevent bad muslims from using the good muslims as cover.
>>
>>51825094
Here's one. Get rid of the muds. Round them up and ship them back to wherever they came from, then stop letting any more of them in. We have armies enough to secure our borders. If they try to invade, we kill them, because that's what an army is supposed to do to an invading horde.

Wrong. Obamacare got zero republican votes. None. He didn't even attempt to bring them into the discussion, he just tried to ram it through with zero debate because "we needed to pass the bill in order to see what is in it."
>>
>>51825629
Bush Sr. raised taxes. Bush Jr. expanded medicare and bailed out the banks, running up the debt. Neither of them did anything to roll back the massive entitlement programs that have been running the country into the ground for decades now. They were leftists.
>>
>>51825681
Well, yes. Obamacare got few Republican votes because they rejected anything, regardless of compromise, when it came to health care reform.

The fact that they can't figure out how to replace it says a lot. Especially given how unpopular removing it wholesale is now.

In the meantime, most other bills were carefully designed compromises because 99% of the time nothing else would pass. Some people (who just follow what their favorite news site says) seem to think that all bills passed were "forced through", however.

Nope. Repealing Obamacare is so popular that it is literally one of the main things that got Trump elected. The American people despise it for massively inflating healthcare costs while doing nothing for them.

>>
>>51826018
Universal healthcare is only possible because the US basically subsidizes the rest of the world's healthcare, both in terms of research and in terms of the total budget.

Because of the price controls in other nations, companies that are the main driving force behind new research, new technology, new drugs, etc. can't stay in business. They need the US market to actually be able to turn a profit and stay in business. All that technology that Europeans benefit from? Made possible by the fact that the US follows a market based approach rather than a statist one.

Same goes for the overall budget. European nations are only able to afford universal healthcare because the US pays for their defense. Without the US protecting them, they wouldn't have enough money for universal healthcare.
