RPGFan's Grand Lecture Part III Grand Finale

What I am is tired I am tired of coming back from work every day where I do my best to help people and see others who sit in front of their computer all day tell me what a horrible person I am for having passion for my hobby I am tired of toeing a party line that has been alienating me more and more while calling me names and attempting to shame me for disagreeing, even while they claim to be representing my best interests I am tired of the activity I partake in to forget the cruelties of real life becoming the battleground for ideologies and extremist propaganda I am tired of self-styled "progressive" journalists who grab onto individuals' immutable traits as a reason to drag them through the mud I am tired of game developers who behave in increasingly abhorrent and infantile manners I am tired of opinion pieces and propaganda being put forth in lieu of facts and news I am tired of innocent individuals like those at Wizardchan being the victims of a campaign of verbal violence to forward the interests of selfish journalists Most of all, I am tired of the constant viciousness the gaming press shows more and more of with each passing day, daring us to object to their methods I was raised to respect all people equally, I still believe in the basic human decency all people deserve, and that will always matter to me far more than making other people feel bad about themselves because game journalist A at shady game site B told me to I am now writing this because out of all the people who work in the game journalism industry, I have the least to lose.

RPGFan's Grand Lecture Part II

It has been no secret to the gaming community that many video game news sites have been employing increasingly extremist and reprehensible tactics to gain site hits and forward their ideology. I have long tolerated these tactics, erasing and moving back lines in the sand against my better judgement because l believe that at the heart of these tactics were genuinely good intentions dedicated towards progressiveness and inclusiveness within the gaming community. I have recently been disabused of that notion There has been evidence of people within the industry approving of tactics such as shaming sexual harassment victims, black wome and instigatin cha that are helping to get more nto game development to ensure a lack of competition for their industry friends Wi wha to promote a game about depress When their audience caught wind of this kind of behavior, they were aghast. These were the people pushing for equality. They were the "righteous" ones telling us how to behave. How could they treat obvious victims and minorities in such a way? At first the industry responded with silence. Then, they began to censor and ban anyone who spoke of these events. This only caused the situation to spiral out of control. Now, they have resorted to character assassination. There have been a deluge of articles on ma es calling gamers misogynists, man children, and all manner of terrible things in an attempt to shame all of them into backing down. Journalists have started behaving abhorrently on twitter, likening people like me to terrorists and Nazis. These journalists behave terribly and browbeat anyone whose opinions don't fall lock step with their own While they claim to and may honestly believe that - they fight for equality, they are actually representing the exac positions of power and privilege attempting to shout down anyone who takes issue with their tactics stitution which they decry - a hegemony where they are in the their defense," some of you may be beginning to think. But Ashton," "In all fairne Stop. There is nothing worth defending here They will attack anyone, even people the im to be protecting and representing. They will timidate all who disagree or voice dissent. They bully those who have less influence and power than they do. They doxx anyone who steps out of line. The depressed NEETs over at Wizardchan should have been their primary focus if they wanted to promote a game regarding aware assaulted at the whims of a few game j jackals who believed that bullying and harassing others is okay. It is not. When we object to this kind of behavior, game journalists will use the standard "straight white male" argume to dismiss us. Some will call us traitors to "the cause." Some, like game developer Chuck Jordan, will others reframe the argument to make us out to be women haters. This is incredibly alarming behavior because it echoes many immoral and unethical actions that have taken place during the history of our country.

RPGFan's Grand Lecture Part I

Gamers Are Not Dead, They Just Leveled Up I SUPPORT #GAMERGATE CONDEMN PERSONAL THREATS SUPPORT WOMEN IN GAM I AM AGAINST BIASED AND CORRUPT GAME JOURNALISM can we play video games already? Some of you reading this may have read editorials and reviews by me on sites I've written for. My name is Ashton Liu, and I am a contributing editor for RPGFan. This post is not endorsed or approved by RPGFan. By writing this, I have effectively “gone rogue." I am attaching my name as a sign of solidarity for my fellow gamers, and as a statement that what is happening needs to stop. My colleagues at RPGFan have nothing to do with this, they are excellent journalists and writers who have a passion for gaming and writing about gaming that is unequaled by anyone else in the industry. Yes, you can quote me on that But that's not what I'm here to write about. Today I come to you from a position of humility. Some may recall that I have previously made scathing remarks about fans of the RPG genre, as well as admonishing those whose complaints regarding Jennifer Hepler veered into harassment. I still stand by those editorials, as they reflected the behavior of the gaming community at those respective points in time. Today, however, I am here not to vilify or condemn you, but rather to add my voice to yours, in a situation where the shaming and bullying of one side towards the other has become out of control. I am, of course, referring to GamerGate.

SJW's influence on the Sci-Fi community

An explanation about the Hugo awards controversy Posted on April 24, 2014 by correia45 A few days ago the finalists for the Hugo were announced. The Hugos are the big prestigious award for science fiction and fantasy. One of my books was a finalist for best novel. A bunch of other works that I recommended showed up in other categories. Because I'm an outspoken right winger, hilarity ensued. Many of you have never heard of me before, but the internet was quick to explain to you what a horrible person I am. There have been allegations of fraud, vote buying, log rolling, and making up fake accounts. The character assassination has started as well, and my detractors posted and tweeted and told anyone who would listen about how I was a racist, a homophobe, a misogynist, a r--- apologist, an angry white man, a religious fanatic, and how l wanted to drag homosexuals to death behind my pickup truck. The libel and slander over the last few days have been so ridiculous that my wife was contacted by people she hasn't talked to for years, concerned that she was married to such a horrible, awful, hateful, bad person, and that they were worried for her safety I wish I was exaggerating. Don't take my word for it. My readers have been collectinga lot of them in the comments of the previous Hugo post and on my Facebook page Plug my name into Google for the last few days. Make sure to read the comments to the various articles too. They're fantastic. Of course, none of this stuff is true, but it was expected. I knew if I succeeded I would be attacked. To the perpetually outraged the truth doesn't matter, just feelings and narrative. l'd actually like to thank all of those people making stuff up about me because they are proving the point I was trying to make to begin with. Allow me to explain why the presence of my slate on the Hugo nominations is so controversial. This is complicated and your time is valuable, so short explanation first, longer explanation if you care after. Short Version: 1. Isaid a chunk of the Hugo voters are biased toward the left, and put the author's politics far ahead of the quality of the work. Those openly on the right are sabotaged. This was denied. 2. So l got some right wingers on the ballot. 3. The biased voters immediately got all outraged and mobilized to do exactly what I said they'd do Point made 4.
