I believe in Alexis Kennedy, Meg Jayanth gave no evidences to support herself.

What do you think about this?

[Ragen_Vlad]

I don't know whether those allegations are true or not, what I do know is that so called newspapers should not relay them before they are proven true, and leave it to the court. Such allegations have destroyed lives, and way too many were blatant lies. But I guess this is the world we're stuck in for now...

[Maina]

I'm generally of the "wait and see what the proof is before ruining a man's life" camp, but posturing your support as an "anti-SJW vs SJW" discussion is doing him no favors. People hate both sides and the general public tends to hate the anti-SJW side more. Feel free to support him without dragging the (anti-)SJW politics into something where it really isn't necessary.

"People hate both sides and the general public tends to hate the anti-SJW side more."

You got data for that or are you just talking out of your ass?

The general public is anti-SJW, because SJWs ruin everything. Their sole purpose is to make everyone as miserable as they are, and they're succeeding. Everything crap with society right now is because of them. They've destroying Western Civilization with their incessant whining. Losers, one and all.

@Maina I would love to, but after Zoe? I just can't... If only Meg did gave some solid evidence to back her, she didn't. Go check her tweets about this, you will know what I mean.

I'm sad I've lived long enough to see the words "social justice" being used in a pejorative way... How worse can it get?

In any case, we have no idea what happened or not, so why tf are you vomiting your opinions on this subject as if you were omniscient?

[Simonson [29th Ret.]]

"I'm sad I've lived long enough to see the words "social justice" being used in a pejorative way... "

Maybe that's because it's been used as a club to beat white people over the head with. Ever hear of social justice for them?

Exactly.

[Maina]

So now it's just blatant racism, then.

[Simonson [29th Ret.]]

Another meaningless word.

[Ragen_Vlad]

Yeah, today the words that end in "ism" or "phobia" are just ploys to discredit the opponent without using any real argument. Today, with social media, people have to be morally perfect in every regard, one slip of the tongue can lead to devastating consequences like being fired or harassed (which is why I loathe Twitter with all my might).
People should think before devoiding a word of its meaning by using it ad nauseum.

[Maina]

Once people start playing the "white people are the ones who are really oppressed, guys!" card, there's really no need to try and provide them legitimacy. They have none. It has nothing to do with the topic at hand, and it's trolling at best or racist dogwhistling to try to turn a good community into another /pol/ or voat at worst.

[Ragen_Vlad]

Without saying "white people are the ones being oppressed", I think it doesn't take a lot of effort to notice the double standard. No limit soldier could have used any other example beside this I think, to reflect on the fact that social justice is imbalanced.
But you are absolutely right on one point: this has nothing to do with the topic at hand.
So Maina, if you have time, I invite you to a private discussion, we could debate cordially and politely. Of course I would perfectly understand if you don't want to, but I think it might be interesting.

I just wish there was a way to disable "Recent News", more often than not they have nothing to do with actual games and I have no interest in them. Steam client is a game launcher for me and I don't want it to be a news feed full of dirt, allegations and political views.

I think this thread's a pretty good example of the kind of crowd Weather Factory is gonna truck with from here on out, if they don't handle the accusations with tact and contrition.

[Sarasvato]

Yeah that's super weird because Weather Factory is 2/3 women so shuting it down would not do any good to protect women in this industry, yet here's the kind of racist rape-appologist bigots we have to defend it...

Anyway, I beleive Twitter is the Herald of Appocalypse and I don't trust anything coming from the Bird. To me these allegations seems weak and, without any other source, untrustworthy.

[Tito Bandito]

Last I heard, the only woman left is Lottie. Claire and Hannah seem to have quit over this (and Marc's no longer on the CS Discord, so his status is up in the air right now).

Anyhow, you're free to doubt the women (plural...) coming out about this guy, but do know that Failbetter (the company he ran while most of this was going on) weighed in on their side and not his. As far as sources go, I'd think that's a pretty good one.
