@xxmercyxx: He didn't even respond to my comments, he just continued with his inane, hurtful crap.
I thought the GB community was better than this. I guess not. Get some perspective guys; this is a video game website that is barely about video games. It's about, you know, having fun. Enjoying the industry. Getting different perspectives. Yes, some of those perspectives are objectively wrong (i.e. a lot of Dan's ramblings, but that's all in good fun, right?)
Every time you respond to these people they come back with 'oh, well, you couldn't best me in an intellectual debate! Where are your references, good sir?' It's not about winning a debate. It's not about trying to challenge each others ideas. We are not debating science, we are debating you being a dick to someone on the internet - again, she's NOT A PROFESSIONAL GAMES CRITIC. SHE IS A PRODUCER AND ON AIR PERSONALITY. I also never said it was about gender. I never said it was about politics. I never said you were conservative. You are projecting, dude. You are expecting a particular argument where it doesn't exist, and you are using this small segment on a games site to spout your personal beliefs.
She will read these comments, just like the other GB employees read them, and if she's anything like me - she will feel shitty. Think about that before you post. Next time, when you think "I really need to lay down some constructive criticism, I am sure this person will really appreciate it" - just don't. Try it out. Next time you don't like a movie; don't tear down people who do. Next time you don't like a person, don't give them 'constructive criticism'. It's not constructive. It's mean-spirited. You're attacking someone in their early 20s ffs. Trust me, it will improve your life.
It's no surprise the ramblings have now devolved into bullshit about politics and left leaning and 'hits to GB's revenue' like GiantBomb is here to placate his personal views...
Give it two more posts until he's calling us sheeple. Also, him and DazzaP type in a very similar way; must be something in the water..
The best part of E3 - get Janina on the Beastcast as a regular, cheers. Acting is overrated; being on the self proclaimed best podcast in the world is more important.
@jodokus_k: Yawn. She's allowed to have different opinions to you. Why pick out Abby? Abby isn't even a 'professional games critic'. She's there as a producer and someone who brings a good on air personality which meshes well with Vinny/Dan/Alex.
Honestly, you come off as a condescending asshole. I hate this so much. Why do people think it's okay to come in here and post this sort of shit directly towards someone who will likely read it? It reminds me of people who directly tweet at writers or directors and say their work is shit. How about you just keep your opinion to your god damn self..
I don't care if you're a games critic. I don't care if you've been premium for many years. Shit, knowing that means you have 0 excuse for the tripe you've just posted. The irony of you posting about not watching soap operas because you don't like them, but continuing to watch content Abby is featured in...Well, I'm sure that's not lost on you, as a 'professional games critic'.
