Patrick Klepek - News Editor at Giant Bomb Part 1- Patrick's PAX Talk April 2014 In a talk mainly focussed oncyber bulying Patrick brings up an example here several people on Twitter voiced their con- cern about nazi-like imagery found in Viambeer's latest title I have a question about Luftrausers: is there some political point to playing as nazis or is it supposed to be funny? FAX East 2014 Why Intemet Jenks Arent Going to Win, And You Can Help so luftrausers as a jew, what offends me is the aesthetic as a game designer, what offends me is the absence of critical distance from it. Warning: For those interested in watching this talk , Patrick mentions a m려or MGS Ground Zeroes plot pont酵about 18:15, 18:23. Relevant-Luftrausers. information at Patrick Kiepek's statement in the video14-50 to-16:30 … The two of them thoughtfully explained their position on Twitter. This is criticism, and in tact it is well articulated criticism. So even though Fm not jewish...and so even though Idon't have much of aproblem with the imagery in Luftrausers: Irespect imins and Dubbin are coming at this from a very different ife perspective, I beleve scientists call this empathy, but they're stil' looking into And they're not asking viambeer to change the way Luftrausers looks, they're only raising questions about wheter its aesthetics could leverage nazi imagery in a way that's glessed ever, because the game is really damn fun LJ And Vlambeer didn't have to respond to this, but they in fact did They wrote an extremely long blog post Here's the excerpt that stood out to me We de have to occept that or gome culd moke some people uncomfortable. We're extremely sodobout thet, and we sincerely apologise for that discomfort. The fact ls that no interpretation of a game is wrong When you create something you leave certain implications of what you're making we accept there'sno wrong interpretation of a work, e also have to accept that some of those inter pretations.could not be along the lines af what ww 're trying to create It is unlikely that Luftrausers will undergo any major aesthetik change as a resultofwhat Simins and Dubbin said, but the con clusions ofthis exchange brings a better understanding of what Viambeer wanted to do by creating Luftrausers Noone has to agree with either side but our understanding of Luftrausers place in gaming culture place was deepend as aresult of acritical ex- change where no one toldeach ather to screw off Everyone won and we understood the game just alittle bit better.

zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h Since I'm getting a lot of emails about this: no, l've got nothing to do with That TV show. I learned about its existence at the same time as the rest of you. No, I was not asked, consulted etc. and if I had been asked, I wouldn't have been ok with it. That's all. 5 17 42 408 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I continue to reject any oversimplification of GamerGate that leaves out its roots in white supremacy, domestic violence, and the pre-existing societal issues it capitalized in favor of a more convenient and inaccurate narrative about it being solely about women in games. t7 78 5 510 @UnburntWitch - 57m zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn If I am portrayed in it, it's without my involvement or any input on my end, and is happening without my consent. If I'm written out of it, well. I'm not so sure how you can present it as an “honest" story. But that's really not my problem, either. 27 10 204 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn ... @UnburntWitch I don't want to do any interviews on this, I don't want to give any other statements aside from this. It's bad enough having all of this pop up again without any warning or regard for how I might feel about it, so l'd like to just try and ignore it. Thank you for understanding.

O DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm - 9h Ellen Page and Paris Berelc have been cast in the gaming comedy 1UP' for BuzzFeed Studios. The film is described as being in the vein of 'Pitch Perfect' but set in the world of esports with a Gamergate backdrop. (Source: link.hollywoodreporter.com/click/21952263..) IB CAD 44 27 251 M 1.6K zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch 1h love that the psycho ex who ruined my life and the alt-right mob he drummed up basically seems to have won the disinformation wars given the replies to this. big props to everyone who knew better but stayed ""neutral"" during gg. O 6 27 52 O 829 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h fun reminder: the game review I supposedly "bought" with sex literally never existed in any way, shape, or form, and the psycho ex who kicked up the mob even said so himself. 000 I hate that this still somehow is considered a controversial statement. 27 78 O 771 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I hate that I have to keep saying it but I don't know what else to do when people just let the waters be muddied for this long and my existence has been politicized to the point where I can't just live my life. 000 277 O 497 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h 000 They even named the protagonist "Vivian" so they know enough to know better than to make this a fun comedic romp. O 10 337 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch 57m I'm so sick of talking about this even though it STILL impacts my life every day. I struggle to live my life around it, recover from it, and not let it break me and then stuff like this comes up from time to time and kicks me in the teeth.
