Face it man. There IS a double standard on the internet. You're blind if you don't see it.
Did she act a fool? Definitely. Does she deserve the amount of crap she's getting? Nope. Does she deserve some crap? Sure. Roughly the same amount that other podcasters get when they fuck up their shows by involving booze. Either they get loud, stupid, or say stupid shit. Most do all three. Very few of them have nip slips though. :lol

Yes. Somebody tried to leave a bombchu under his porch but Nintendo forgot to include them in Twilight Princess.MiDNiGHTS said:Didn't someone send death threats to Jeff Gerstmann over his Twilight Princess review?
Rich Uncle Skeleton said:Yup, this. She would be fucking annoying on any podcast, but being on GB, where any guest simply detracts from the pure awesomeness of the main crew, just multiplies the effect by.... some.. unreasonably large number.
jacobs34 said:I can't really get mad at the GB guys for putting Leigh back on the podcast, they knew what they were going to get out of her, and probably thought it would be funny. It became painfully obvious that she was not in on the joke around the half an hour mark. I just feel a bit bummed out for the other guys their, they seemed a bit ambushed by the stupidity.
Rich Uncle Skeleton said::lol You don't think he knows what games he's interested in on the system? I can tell you straight-up, there's no "maybe" about it for me: If my Wii was my only system, I'd be fucking bummed. I think the analogy was fine.
There were some comments in the chat about how 4chan "found" the stream. I would agree that some of the GB/4chan crossovers are the main people posting these kind of comments.wmat said:On her blog:

Then again, people just call Gabe fat because he hates the PS3, so what the fuck I guess.
I'm almost glad that the queer members of the industry aren't that visible, simply because "fag" would be thrown around without a second thought.
That shit does piss me off, the fucking fat jokes, fuck sake. There was one just the other day in the Sony conference thread. Some weak sauce insult. Want to rip on someone, fair enough, but at least pick on someone who's a dick and be witty with it.firehawk12 said:On GAF someone basically called her ugly in lieu of any real constructive criticism.

Keeping in mind she did the exact same thing the previous year and apologized for it then does the exact same thing again this year, of course it's going to be a lot worse the second time around. That's where a lot of the excess anger's coming from.Kintaro said:Does she deserve the amount of crap she's getting? Nope.
firehawk12 said:Yeah, really. I'll fully admit that I do it too - I completely respect the fact that Tak and Naoki did their bits in English at the Konami event (because god knows most of us could not do the same thing in Japanese), but I still think YOU WILL BE SUCKED is hilarious.
But I'd like to think that was all in good fun - that there's a level of understanding between everyone in the thread that we were laughing at the trainwreck and not the fact that they were Japanese people speaking broken English. In fact, Tak should just put "YOU WILL BE SUCKED" on a T-shirt and sell that sucker for 30 bucks. I'd buy one.
Something like the "775" thing I think is fair game. You're laughing at that because it's just ridiculous. But the moment any aspect of her gender enters the equation, a line has been crossed. The problem is that it's so easy to cross that line - especially because of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.
And really, it's as simple as "775? How stupid." vs "775? What a stupid bitch." One's cool, one's not. And if people can't see that... well, I can't help ya. :lol:
FStop7 said:I'll do it, too. I'll post in a thread "This is retarded" or whatever. Where, IMO, the line is drawn is when someone starts initiating direct contact with the person they dislike - emailing them, sending them DMs on Twitter, posting comments on their blogs, about how bad they suck, how they should kill themselves, etc. Especially when one isn't putting their real name next to their words.
The 775 thing was ridiculous, as was her behavior in general. That's what happens when people get drunk and lose control...

I made it to 40 or so minutes. That's all I could take.
If they every put her on the show again they need to rig up a dog shock collar so that if she interrupts someone she gets a little jolt, ok maybe a big jolt. Something tells me she'd talk through the little ones.

Your quote was used not because it used gender-disparaging language, but because it suggested that you found it offensive that she might believe people disliked her because she was female. I think the other quotes show that there is certainly a lot of antagonism here (not to mention the far worse stream comments) that suggest otherwise.StuBurns said:How many people on that podcast were female?
It's pretty easy to identify the person you are discussing when they are the only female without knowing the person's name. Example, I would have said "The rockband guy" because I don't know his name, and don't think it's worth researching because I know everyone on here would know who I meant by saying that.
There was one woman in the podcast, she was awful, but saying "that woman" is perfectly legitimate in terms of a method of identification.
There is something worthwhile to play month to month, there are tons of great games for the system, and the fact that you want to be fanboyish over your console of choice doesn't negate that fact.MegaKungFuRadio said:Seriously. I wonder about people who defend the Wii like that. It's as if they live in some alternate reality where a trickle of quality Nintendo titles over three and a half years somehow makes up for not being guaranteed to have something worthwhile to play month to month.

Kuros is more whitish gray in the actual Wizard and Warriors games though - still kind of works.Htown said:Also, your avatar is the wrong color, Matty.
MegaKungFuRadio said:Please, if Paul Barnett were being obnoxious, half of those posts would just say "British dude." But he isn't obnoxious, so they don't.
Okay, this is fair. She was addressing the 'kill yourself' thing, but as I had slagged her off too, I did feel like she was addressing every male who dared criticize her and just using the fact she was different, i.e. a woman, to write off every complaint despite the fact that it is her that is at fault. (That is not to say some of the people slagging her off did not go too far and said disgusting things).MattyGrovesOrMe said:Your quote was used not because it used gender-disparaging language, but because it suggested that you found it offensive that she might believe people disliked her because she was female.

Oh, he was a Scot, I said Irish earlier. Poor memory.Jax said:Lol at that asstard in here trying to make this about gender. Maybe you missed last years e3 podcast with the drunk Scotsman. (might be 2 years ago).
