So what is this shit I'm hearing about Arthur and SimCity?
Shit, I just read this. Amazing. EviLore putting the hammer down.Recap: in the wake of the IGDA party dancer scandal, unsubstantiated Twitter rumors surface about women being paid to be in the VIP room of a Mojang party, apparently too attractive and numerous to possibly be there of their own volition (sexism much?). Mojang flatly deny claim and the source of the rumors is rooted out, essentially a game of Twitter Telephone, but a delusional feminist extremist crusader decrees that Notch is still at fault for people thinking that they were paid for even if they weren't, and that he should take some sort of action in reparation. Arthur Gies takes her side and promotes her on Twitter.
The OP is permed for going on a witch hunt (in conjunction with insane extremist posts afterwards) and refusing to update his thread after the attempt at scandal fell apart. Libelous, agenda-driven bullshit.
Arthur Gies is officially the most disreputable person in the enthusiast press.
It was. He just spoiled that Arthur Gies is Comstock's voice actor.

That sounds more believable actually.
this gif is too good.

I missed that. Link? :-(Arthur Gies is a bet welcher. Still owes a GAFfer ten bucks.
Except it was held at a concert hall, not a "club".

I rechecked this thread to wonder wtf people are still talking about, all in all a good summary, thanksRecap: in the wake of the IGDA party dancer scandal, unsubstantiated Twitter rumors surface about women being paid to be in the VIP room of a Mojang party, apparently too attractive and numerous to possibly be there of their own volition (sexism much?).

Who is Schreier?On a positive note, I hadn't seen Schreier's apology before. That's how these things are supposed to end. All of us are biased towards defending ourselves. Stepping back, finding clarity, explaining yourself, and apologizing is all anybody wants when this stuff happens.
Honestly, people should get angry at Notch for hiring Skrillex. Brostep is the worst thing.

Should have had Deadmau5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTFpMYhRbkQ
Polygon, you've been unbookmarked. I'll add you back when either:
1 - you distance yourself entirely from Arthur and his idiotic stance
2 - Arthur offers what I consider to be a sincere apology
3 - Arthur no longer works for you. Although if that comes later than sooner, you'll remain unbookmarked.
Integrity. Do you have any?
He had a nice discussion with everyone about sim city recently lol
Masterpiece.

Pretty much the only good journalist at Kotaku. He fucked up a couple of times in the past, but admitted to it. He still posts here and writes excellent articles from time to time that are actually worth giving Kotaku hits.Who is Schreier?

Should have had Justice. Bloody US border patrol...
Notch could have went into the electronic music thread on here, picked a name at random and come away with something a hundred times better.
was trying to decide if i wanted to post either of these gifs. then this happened. perfect.
This my favotite part of the story:
Dude, 2013? People have been saying this for years. I think Rebel FM opened a lot of eyes.I saw right trough his bullshit a long time ago
while many people still were like "how dare you, he so good, he journo he good"

If I was Mojang, at their next party I would hire literally 100 escorts. Fuck stuck up people.
To tell you the truth, I wasn't much aware of the dude since I try to avoid video game journos and their websites, but I noticed when he posted here than the guy was full of shit, what did Rebel FM said? Any links? I'd love to read/hear about it.Dude, 2013? People have been saying this for years. I think Rebel FM opened a lot of eyes.
The good one for cool people with sophisticated taste.Which electronic music thread?

Hiring a woman to look attractive at a party doesn't mean you think that's all a woman's purpose in life is. I watch pornography but that doesn't mean I think women should only be having sex for money. This mentality that if you pay a woman for something based on appearence you're devaluing her is absurd.
You're right, you didn't say any of those things, and I apologize. I actually never intended to say that you had these opinions, I just directed them at you since you were the one that was playing devils advocate and it was simpler then typing "everyone who holds those opinions". Either way, it was bad wording by me, and I apologize.
Regarding the issue at hand, I agree that it could press upon those stereotypes, but I don't think its as wide spread as you'd think.
And one of my biggest peeves is the idea that the world should be limited for some people just so other people will change the way they act or think. I believe that thinking is completely backwards.
If we spend our time readapting our society to where its just not POSSIBLE for men to think that way as easily instead of leaving it open to interpretation and explaining why men SHOULDNT think that way then we are doing society a disservice. Because if that's the way we act we aren't actually progressing as a society, we are merely trying to limit it so the worst types of people dictate how the world works.
As you've agreed with the problem doesn't lie in the woman being naked, it lies in the man not understanding that the woman isn't
naked just so he can enjoy it. So why punish the woman who wants to be naked? It doesn't solve anything. The woman should
be able to be naked without worrying about
anything. So the logical thing is to find ways to make sure the man understands that just because some women dont mind being naked or having sex for money it doesn't mean every woman holds those same ideals.
Anything else is just limiting womens lives to make sure men don't think a certain way. Its a whole different form of sexism.
