If you make yourself a public figure you better be prepared for negative attention, because not everyone is going to love you. This is true of just about anyone with any kind of fame. If she really wanted to protect her fragile ego, Hepler could just surround herself with the few people her writing actually appeals to, but twitter is a public forum.

Wow there are a dozen new tweets every time I refresh that page,some people are really going all at her

Nah, it's just Hepler reaping what she's sowed.

So is she the human Reaper?

She's large enough to be one.

moar leik the Human Hepler!

hurr durrr

I am myself surprised by all the anti-Semitic, racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, and generally crude comments posted on that Twitter.

And most of those probably aren't even Codexers.

I wonder if all these traits are a RPG fan thing rather than a Codex thing.

I agree, it definitely goes way too far! It is just a string of "ad hominems" and not criticism. It really is juvenile internet crap at its worst.

There's just something special about a picture of Todd saying it. The man's weathered enough vitriol over the years that you can almost hear his scoffing at her weak skin.

It's an internet thing. It's fascinating to watch people's sub/conscious prejudices bubble to the surface. Does my misanthropy a world of good.

The lead "gameplay" dev for DAO (zoeller) was hired primarily based on his nwn mod. Considering how shitty DAO's combat mechanics were, I can't imagine how godfuckingawful his mod was (and there were more than a few mods good enough to make nwn worth installing).

The hell?



Any gay or gay-friendly Mass Effect players please apply!

I don't think Chris is been unreasonable here.

He is rebuking homophobic remarks before a single one was made.

Basically, BSN posters are guilty until proven innocent of any fault attributed to them, including homophobia.

It's a strange mentality that you expect the worst from your very own online community and don't believe it is inhabited by likable people.

Well I didn't read the topic so I'll take your word for it. All I saw was that Chris gave a warning 4 hours after the topic began so been the optimist that I am I assumed that one of the members stepped out of line.

It might seem he's not being unreasonable, but these days even merely questioning something a gay man says is considered offensive. "Bigotry" is short hand for "your statement is not in accordance with undomesticated snowman and feminist values, and I don't need to explain why."

Full lenght ME3: Take back the Earth trailer



Reminds me of this Starship Troopers thing, where everybody gets full emotional about some stupid bugs.

"Nooooo you killed the child you Husk bastards!!!!111 I take this very personal!!! Wahhhh dieeeeee!!!!!"

Like? MLP?

Hey, MLP is written much better than anything BioWare has come up with. There's like character development and stuff.

Not that I'd know anything about that, of course. That show's for girls.

Gaider whiteknightin hard there.

Wyrm-kun, you do know that forum moderators can delete posts they find to be inappropriate? What do you think happened in that thread in the 4 hours between the original post and Priestly posting his warning?
