You can just picture the Facebook lawyers scurrying around, and dealing with this in a panic after they found out in the morning.

I be shocked if anything comes of it but on the gripping hand it is interesting she nuked shit from orbit.

 

[Neuromancer]

I wonder what John Carmack makes of all this.

 

[jay]

His girlfriend looks like someone I have seen youtube suggest I watch videos of. Has she done videos attacking feminism and other crap (that youtube for some reason thinks I want to see)?

I wonder what John Carmack makes of all this.

I assume he knows who Luckey is and is alright with it.

 

[Arkeband]

Palmer's statement on this is totally going to be about freedom of speech, calling it now.

"They (the lefties!) MADE me scrub my social media history and my girlfriend's social media history!"

 

[Exuro]

I wondered how can a woman be a GamerGater? I guess we both need to adjust our expectations a bit

My little sister was into it for a bit. She believed the whole "ethics in games journalism" spiel.

Here's the Polygon story, where they say they spoke to Oculus who said they are looking into this.

I wonder what John Carmack makes of all this.

Carmack is famously libertarian, the kind that doesn't want government intefering in him getting rocket fuel.

A different breed then the alt-right version with palmer

 

[Tagavaka]

I can't believe this, he legitimately sounds like a Bioshock villian.

In fact, I think Ken Levine has found the angle for the next Bioshock game, VR and all

Rich alt-righter tries to build a Utopia via VR to escape "the rabble"

Instead of a city undersea or in the clouds it is literally "a city in the cloud"

I thoroughly dislike Trump, but none of this matters. A Clinton supporter doesn't need to stand behind or agree with everything Clinton has ever done or been suspected of doing. Being Republican doesn't make you a white supremacist and that reductionist way of thinking only hurts discourse. I'm sure most 'Trump supporters' want anyone -but- Trump as their standard bearer. But that doesn't mean they want to vote Democrat or have Clinton in office.

I'm not affiliated to either party. I think we have a shambles of an election this year, and both candidates approach my 'worst case scenario ever'. But it doesn't mean I think every Trump supporter is a racist, nor every Clinton supporter is the various things they're called.

We could make just as damning a list against Clinton for the things she's done. They might not be as vile in that specific way [ie, racist], but they are just as damning in other ways.

A presidential candidate running on a campaign of racism/white supremacy and little else "doesn't matter" Lol. Do you think "none of that matters" to the millions upon millions of minorities in the US?

Do you even read what you type? You sound fucking ridiculous

The idea that all men are created equally so no one should get special help is more appealing when you're born a genius.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

So damn sick of seeing false equivalencies between Trump and Hillary.

You are a bigot if you support Trump, because bigotry is what he stands for and is what we're going to get if he becomes president.

You have to either not care for your fellow Americans who are not white males or actively hate them to find a Trump presidency acceptable.

 

[UncleSporky]

If these people are so committed to these beliefs, enough to initially make those statements associated with their real name and all...if they truly believe what they're saying, why are they so quick to delete everything?

That's an admission of guilt or a mistake. It's like they knew it was bullshit all along.

 

[BiggNife]

Pretty much this. It's unfortunate that someone like Trump has obtained so much traction, but let's not kid ourselves. The alternative is not much better ( if at all really ) ...

I can't say I agree for calling for this guy's head for his political views though. No matter how indifferent you feel about them.

That being said, I'm not very educated on this movement he's trying to push here.

Have you read any of the posts in here listing all of the horrible shit trump has done

How is Hillary on the same page as trump? Because of Benghazi, which has been repeatedly proven to be not her fault? Because of the emails, which was a stupid decision on her part but not grounds for indictment? Because she's a "war monger" and trump somehow isn't even though nearly half of American voters polled in a survey this week think Trump would use nukes?

Please stop perpetuating this myth that Trump and Hillary are the same when they're not. Hillary isn't amazing, and I have some issues with her as most people do, but painting her as bad as trump is straight up ridiculous.

Self hate, ignorance, selfishness. They're not gender specific.

 

[Pellegri Testament]

Believe it or not, there are women who actually like being treated like dirt and believe all women should be treated the same, it's the same with some minorities. It's really awkward how they can say what they say without even a hint of shame.

Not this shit again. Really you don't see a difference between Trump and Clinton. Holy hell man. Sometimes you wonder why some people can vote.

Added to my list of things to never buy: Oculus Rift. What a loathsome man--and his girlfriend seems terrible too.

Palmer Luckey sure did create....a rift.

someone that votes on Trump just because he's the GOP nominee is equally as idiotic. The Republicans that are not batshit crazy have already come out against Trump.

Do it then. I'll be patiently waiting your list.

You want to talk about what's bad for discourse? What is bad for discourse and dialogue in this country is when one side supports and open bigot and racist for president. Until they stop doing that they can fuck off as I have zero interest in having any kind of discourse with them.

 

[chekhonte]

This thread is really nuts. The more this election cycle goes on, ,the more worried I am about a Trump presidency.

I called it wrong last night. I did not expect the gf to go scorched earth on twitter.

 

[Tranqueris]

I still don't really get it. Surely he knew the outcome and what kind of trouble would come with it. Especially since Zuckerberg is so outspoken against Trump.

It's not as extreme, or actually maybe it is considering who Milo is, but this whole thing reminds me of the thing that happened this year (I think) with the guy who took a picture of his black coworker's son and made some joke about having bought him or something, and then all his racist friends joined in making jokes.

The point is that assholes seek other assholes out and when they do they become accustomed to being able to do whatever they want within their little group until it becomes completely acceptable, in their mind, to do these things out in open society.

I wouldn't be surprised if that's what happened in this case.

 

[pirata]

Well, this seems to be some creepy bullshit. Man, the past year has felt like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but instead of alien invaders posing as people, there are secret Nazis popping up everywhere you look. What the hell's going on?

 

[fred]

This story sounds like a load of nonsense to me. How come one minute the alleged Palmer Luckey posts on that Reddit thingy that he won't reveal who he is because it would be bad for his business and the next minute he tells a tabloid paper that it's him..?

I call shenanigans on this.

And even if this is true it won't affect my decision to buy a Rift in November. It has more advantages compared to getting a Vive after the Touch controllers have released:

RIFT

• Headset is lighter and more comfortable.
• Headphones included.
• Slightly less SDE.
• ATW
• More developer support (although the Vive has started to catch up now tbf).
• Having the Touch controllers sold separately allows me to spread the cost across two payments.
• The Rift plus Touch controllers is 20 quid cheaper than the Vive.
• The Touch controllers, according to reports at least, feel more like an extension of the hands.
• The Touch controllers have finger tracking.

VIVE

• Slightly bigger FOV
• Less noticable god rays.
• Motion controllers included.

And once the Touch controllers have released that third advantage for the Vive will no longer be in that list.

So even if Palmer Luckey releases an official statement that this is entirely true and isn't a load of old bollocks, grows a Hitler-style moustache and starts wearing black shirts and jack boots instead of those Hawaiianshirts and flip-flops I'm still getting a Rift because it's going to give me the best VR experience.

But I don't think he'll say anything of the sort. Even if those two conflicting things that I mentioned at the beginning of the post weren't enough to convince me that Palmer Luckey has nothing to do with this then I should also point out that the posting style also doesn't seem like his his either.

 

[Shoeless]

We have foreigners on our American forum? Time to build a wall to keep them out.

As a Canadian, I can get behind this. We'll even pay for the wall ourselves. We think it's a really great idea to keep you ou-... uh, I mean, us, in.

 

[zethren]

Trump has given a platform for closet bigots and idiots to speak. They've been there all along, but now they think it's okay to just spew their stupid bullshit.

Holy shit, guys.

The number of times I saw people shit talking about Nikki's twitter in here on top of people posting about her on Gizmodo that she has deleted her twitter account due to the harassment she's seen.

People tweeting at her that she's a hateful fucker and to fucking kill herself.

Seriously, guys? This is what you want to do? You bitch and moan and whine about inciting harassment on women in gaming, and you take part in this kind of shit on her?

I get what you're really all about, now. You only want women who think the same way you do to feel safe. Fuck the women who don't. Is that seriously progressive? And don't give me the 'it's third party trolls' because it's clear to me that no one accepts that in either direction of these stupid arguments.

Really. You want to talk about harassment of women in games? Look at the times people on here have threatened me for not following groupthink. Look at what happened to her. Instead of spending all your time bitching and whining about Trump (who I detest by the way- so don't throw your stupid 'trump supporter' excuses at me), maybe people here should take a moment- a good long fucking moment- to look in the mirror before they start judging other people.

Or..racists can almost taste a racist in office and are doing everything they can to get him in so that their racist views are supported by actual law again.

That's true. If you consume alt-right media, you'd get the impression that you're the brave rebellious underdogs who are rising up and are on the right side of history.

Shine a mainstream light on these views, and they are seen as popularly loathsome. Palmer might not have realized that...

It's real. Don't try and convince yourself otherwise simply because you want to buy a Rift guilt free.

 

[autoduelist]

You can not vote at all instead of voting in a racist who's only platform is racism. Who also has a bigot as a VP and other people on his team who believes minorities have always had the same chance at life as whites.

Stop with this argument. We've seen other Republicans say they aren't supporting trump. People who were in the race with him. Others can make that same choice.

Of course. But those same people may not want Clinton to win, because they don't agree with the Democratic platform. And for some, they may prefer to hold their nose while voting for Trump over allowing Clinton to win -- because the political direction of the next 4-8 years is more important to them than some of the things Trump has said/done.

Again, it's incredibly reductionist and doesn't serve discourse to simply say Trump's only "only platform is racism". That's just sillyness. I don't like the man, and I don't agree with most of his positions, but 'racism' is not his only platform. That's like saying the only thing Hillary has on her resume is Benghazi, it's simply untrue.

I hope neither of them win. Unfortunately, that isn't a viable option.

So even if Palmer Luckey releases an official statement that this is entirely true and isn't a load of old bollocks, grows a Hitler-style moustache and starts wearing black shirts and jack boots instead of those Hawaiianshirts and flip-flops I'm still getting a Rift because it's going to give me the best VR experience.

But I don't think he'll say anything of the sort. Even if those two conflicting things that I mentioned at the beginning of the post weren't enough to convince me that Palmer Luckey has nothing to do with this then I should also point out that the posting style also doesn't seem like his his either.

It's amazing you decided to spend half your post playing HMD console war and the
other half spouting buklshit that can be easily answered by looking at the article with direct quotes from Palmer.

Holy shit, guys.

The number of times I saw people shit talking about Nikki's twitter in here on top of people posting about her on Gizmodo that she has deleted her twitter account due to the harassment she's seen.

People tweeting at her that she's a hateful fucker and to fucking kill herself.

Seriously, guys? This is what you want to do? You bitch and moan and whine about inciting harassment on women in gaming, and you take part in this kind of shit on her?

I get what you're really all about, now. You only want women who think the same way you do to feel safe. Fuck the women who don't. Is that seriously progressive? And don't give me the 'it's third party trolls' because it's clear to me that no one accepts that in either direction of these stupid arguments.

Really. You want to talk about harassment of women in games? Look at the times people on here have threatened me for not following groupthink. Look at what happened to her. Instead of spending all your time bitching and whining about Trump (who I detest by the way- so don't throw your stupid 'trump supporter' excuses at me), maybe people here should take a moment- a good long fucking moment- to look in the mirror before they start judging other people.

The fuck lol

Who the hell in here is harassing this woman? ...unless you think criticizing their abhorrent views = harassment?

Oh please. I've been reading this thread for far too long. Nobody has been harassing Nikki. Unless of course, you're counting everyone that's rightly pointing out that her behavior is beyond the pale.
