Hey, Ironbite, I know you hate UP more than everything out there, but jeez, could you try being less obvious that you've got a vendetta against him?

Even if he does need to provide a citation, you're basically being a dick.  If I recall correctly, that's been against the rules for years.
Mockery of ideas you don't comprehend or understand is the surest mark of unintelligence.

That's Ironbite for you. He's like an angry pit bull. Not particularly bright, but viciously stubborn as all hell. Once he latches onto something, it takes weeks or even months for him to let it go. Naturally, whether or not everyone else, including the target of his vitriol, has long since moved on with their lives is entirely irrelevant.

You mean the one about there being a story of Quinn being a fake name? The one where he literally posted the video where he heard that story in that post and said that it is a crazy story without evidence to back it up and didn't claim that it is a proven fact?
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Only tangentially related, but not meriting a thread of its own:

So this article says: 4chan users hate Zoe Quinn because they are misogynists or antifeminists or something in that vein. And so to spite Quinn, they... donated a bunch of money to a women in gaming thing. And they created a female gamer mascot that is entirely normal.

The article really tries to paint them as the villains, but I'm really confused as to who is supposedly trolling who here.

TBF, 4chan makes no sense so it's hard to understand anything they do.

(I once saw someone posting about sending tampons to people to spite them.)

I don't expect to understand 4chan. I'm trying to understand the reaction that goes "They donated money to a pro-women cause? Misogynistic bastards!"

Yeah, the reaction's silly.

4channers are troll's trolls who trollishly troll other troll's trolls.

...Yes, how horrible of them to donate money to charity. Because no charity should ever accept money from monsters like 4chan users, because...

...Hey isn't there some famous phrase about cutting your own nose off to spite your face or something? Was that a thing you were supposed to do or not?

Seriously though, /v/ is not one of the better boards on 4chan and when THEY are being nicer than you, you should really start thinking about your life.


(They did manage to accidentally send pornographic images to the charity organisation among the images of their mascot. Which is also pretty funny.)

"Accidently."
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

No, I'm pretty sure it is spelled "accidentally."

Or possibly "totally on purpose."

Hmmm, auto correct is saying it's the latter spelling...

Yeah, now that I think about it "totally on purpose" is the most likely candidate.

From my perspective on another 4chan board, /v/ and /pol/ did it because of a 'even we have standards' thing. The issue with Quinn was a mix of standard misogyny mixed with a lot of anger at her hypocrasy, particularly about her calling the other women in gaming jam thing anti-feminist while advertising and taking money for her own event which currently has no agreed date and location and looks a tad scammy. So the whole 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' logic kicked in, by supporting feminists they don't hate against a feminist they despise.

This covers it from the 4chan side of it,

And that's covers the Vivian James posts from 4chan and related stuff.


The entire thing's turned into a stupid witchhunt by both sides at this point.
