You should probably carefully read the forum rules before you continue down that path...ill-advised, duder.
Sweet veiled threats, especially after breaking the forum rules yourself - "Everyone is expected to treat one another with respect as well as to respect the site, its features, and the various members of staff and moderators who help run it." It's messed up to put down people asking questions of "diversity".
Super bummed out. If I'm honest, I don't enjoy Alex's content and seeing Vinny and Jeff broken up ends one of my favorite pairings on the site. Speaking honestly some more, Giant Bomb can verge on depressing when it comes to the industry and I loved Vinny's bright, optimistic attitude to counterbalance that. I worry with him leaving there'll be a lot of cynicism present across the various things GB SF does but I hope that's not the case.
OH MAN, I've been waiting for a Nate Ruess song since he was in The Format, now I'm finally getting a Fun. song. I wish it was a deeper track or from the first album but I can understand the reasoning. SO HYPE.
Holy shit, I know the guy who made Intense Staring Simulator. We both frequent a tight knit game stream. He's an awesome dude and I'm super psyched for him being featured here!
My initial reaction was to be worried about what this meant for the website but after thinking about it for more than a second I realized that you wouldn't do anything that wasn't in the best interest of the website and you wouldn't sign up with anyone who wanted to change what you guys are all about. So long as the vibe stays the same and you use all that SWEET SWEET MONEY CASH to make tons of content, I'll be happy.
I feel really bad when sexual harassment stuff comes up in places I like because it shows me that no matter how great I THINK a scene is, there's a lot of idiots in it trying to justify sexism and misogyny.
This comment section is no different.
Also to those saying that we need to stop blaming the whole fighting community, that's somewhat valid. The scene is obviously hostile to women and anyone saying otherwise is lying, but to be fair it could easily be argued that the gaming scene, hell the entire INTERNET is shitty towards women. Don't take that as me advocating the attitude of "well there's worse stuff going on out there so why make this a big deal." If this makes people more aware of how casual and normalized this stuff has become, the better. We SHOULD be making a big deal out of shit like this.
