Is this site legit

Drop Site and Ryan Grim in particular are as legit as it gets. Site was founded last year by Grim and another journalist from The Intercept.

Ryan Grim isn't legit in the slightest, dude is a straight grifter.

Looks like the latest Marvel slop is getting badly reviewed. Can't wait to see Jeff Marvel running damage control.

I skimmed through the thread and Jeff is surprisingly restrained in his snark, he's still a cunt here and there but no meltdowns. Is it possible a mod warned him after his EZA crashout that he was on thin ice? Or perhaps seeing how many users were glad to be rid of him for 3 months shook him a bit more than we anticipated?

Also:


What a sniveling little bitch. Absolutely no spine to speak of, but what can you expect from someone addicted to resetera? Get a grip on your life.

Surprised there isn’t an era thread about this, would also bet a dollar that someone in this video is a member of that forum  

The child speaking broke me. Parents who do this, no matter what political lean, are disgusting.

What are you talking about? It was clearly coming from the heart. You can tell the kid cares deeply about this cause.

I have never heard of anyone being punished for using the wrong pronouns to another person. She says people are losing their jobs and their social standing for it though. Is this something that's happening and I'm totally missing it?

Or is this just the same old person yells at cloud stuff that I see in my day to day life? Except she has wealth and status and gets people hurt over it.

she is stilll focused on the maya forstater thing that had a timed job NOT RENEWED because she was transphobic as fuck

[Tucker's Law]

Forgot to comment on this:

They actually patched Lords of the Fallen to replace Body Type A/B with Male/Female

It's so pathetic and I say that as someone who really likes the game.
Like all this Chud signaling is pushing away people. We see it time and times again, Chuds will talk up a big game but they don't ever walk the walk. They aren't going to suddenly buy the game nor will they buy the sequel.
It's literally pandering to an audience who doesn't care about your games.

You know, since we know this isn't a troll (kalentan, aka that guy who's trying to be a female v-tuber and boob artist instead of getting a real job. also has a really shrill voice that makes you wanna blow your head off.) that means this dude isn't being ironic. And from that, you just know this fucking moron's drowning in the kool aid. That sweet, purple, grape-flavored, Reset-branded drink. 

No kalentan, it is those who care excessively about "inclusive pronouns" and offended over "male and female" that are always in the minority. Who do not play, buy, have fun with, or actually care about video games. Games marketed exclusively towards those terminally online crowds, like Concord, Dustborn, etc. usually flop miserably. Everyone knows this, except of course, delusional woke leftists so desperate to spin this narrative on its head.

This is the kind unnecessary shit that doesn’t matter in the long run. What is the difference between this and the dude cry about pronouns?

Funnily enough, the difference is that these people would automatically lose out. As what they're campaigning for is, by far, the worse option.

Like sure, the "FAWKING PRONOUNS!" starfield guy was very easy to meme on and laugh at, but at the very least, you could at least argue the guy was just urging on a return to normalcy. Male and female instead of "he/him and she/her" or "body type A/B". As what most people would prefer. Doing the opposite of that, aka "FAWKING TWO GENDERS!!!" would just be five times as unhinged.

Az was 100% right, and the rant was well-earned after he was subjected to something like 6 hours (I think) of the trash that was Starfield's writing (a game he was genuinely excited to play beforehand).

The rainbow zealots should've stopped with general acceptance instead of pushing for special treatment, and especially pushing the ideology onto kids; that's when I bet the great majority of normies crystalized around the realization that these peoples personal mental illnesses were not harmless at all to society at large.

[kaleidoscopium]

Yes, if FF and Thunderbolts both flop, that is obviously a huge problem.

But even then, it's literally not possible to cancel Secret Wars. That doesn't make sense.

He does not understand that movies can be cancelled... incredible

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

Factually incorrect.

[Nintex]

It's so silly to see people yell, "THEY NEED TO REBOOT!" because they've had a few misses in the span of three years after being around for 17 years.

But I thought they were all perfect and did exactly as expected what happened

[Gamegirl Nostalgia]

I'm not gonna lie though. People get out of hand in this thread, I'm prepared to nuke the bet from orbit and call it off. I won't allow this to start getting toxic as fuck.

The "factually incorrect" posts are so low effort and stupid and yet I laugh at every single one.  What does that say about me?  What does that say about us?

WOOF. Just kill it Disney. Awful franchise at this point. Couldn't pay me to watch another one of these soulless films.

You just sent the signal and there coming. Never mind there here

I assume you mean "they're" and not "there?"

You do this in a lot of threads but a reminder: quote the people you're talking about instead of passive aggressive talking about them to other posters.

You realize I was kidding, right?

It's kind of hard to tell with some of the takes popping up, to be fair.

Well just don't respond to almost everything. You've probably been on every single page because of that. Go watch the movie when you can, and give a review. Then let it go. It's just another blockbuster. Hopefully FF will be the thing that turns it around for audiences, and critics.

I'm good, but thanks.

Guarantee it's just me but I feel this place does this subtly all the time and people don't realise they're doing it either.

Any time there are threads asking how much you're willing to shell out for a new (insert upcoming thing) you have a majority voting on the higher end of the scale. Pick up threads are filled with high end shit which can be cool to see but it blows my mind that some people are able to treat themselves almost daily in some cases.

There are folks even mentioning they pay for people to clean their homes weekly and everyone acted like this was normal and not a big deal. Salaries get tossed around almost triple or quadruple my own and others I know and they still complain it's not enough. Even holidays/trips with huge budgets like it's nothing. Don't even get me started on that ungrateful person who went to Disneyland with their family and complained about the whole thing.

It's like another world sometimes. I get gaming as a hobby comes at a cost but I just get the impression I'm getting priced out of almost everything now.

[Ribosome]

Genuinely have sympathy for the genuine trans people who just want to live their lives without bothering anyone as the Era type have truly ruined it for all of them.

the plight of normal trans people (who I genuinely support and feel sorry for) for years to come, and I can't see it recovering for a long time under the current political landscape here.

Are they really losing anything? The trans people you're referring to never had much stake in a lot of the overreaching stuff that internet-catgirl-type trans make a huge deal out of. 

Trans people are not new, but somehow playing in women's sports or redefining the scientific concept of sex were never high priority items for them (along with most of the rest of it).

Nah they went down on the ship with the activist crowd in terms of public acceptance and policy. Oops.

At least Erin Reed and company got to make scathing attacks on people that only 90% agreed with them.

Yeah seriously. 

I was having a chuckle at all the mentally ill tumblr clown show freaks. But then you see the innocent child, clearly being groomed, manipulated as a mouthpiece, with no say in the matter, pushed as a tool. Then my smile soon faded away.

Fuck those shitty parents.

To be fair, if you can't use a child as a mouthpiece then what good are they?

Is he talking about the fucking GTA sexual assault thing?

That deserves to be mocked to the moon

I don't know the background, but does it have to do with the GTA Online "rape" mod/hack?

I remember years ago a coworker was telling me about some clip he saw of it, and he was laughing so hard he was crying and snot was coming out of his nose. Great memory.

I think it was just basically tbagging in the game and someone complained they were being sexually assaulted

World Of Warcraft players find new, freshly depressing ways to sexually harass and attack each other
https://www.avclub.com/world-of-warcraft-players-find-new-freshly-depressing-1818826083

Motherboard has a write-up this week centered on incidents of online sexual harassment taking place in Blizzard Entertainment’s ridiculously popular World Of Warcraft, centered on an in-game location that’s picked up the charming in-game nickname “rape tavern” from some of its frequent residents.

Located near the starting area for human players, the tavern has long been a hotspot on some servers for “erotic role play,” whether in the form of carefully crafted descriptions of textual intercourse, or in the use of a variety of items, dances, and poses to simulate sex. (“Snow cannons,” which fire white globules of material into the air, are apparently a popular feature.)

The most distressing examples include moments in which people overwhelmed by the sexual chaos flee the tavern, only to be pursued, surrounded, and harassed by other players

Klara leaves. Outside there are other players who are waiting for her. They surround her mage character and spew glowing white spells into the air, an example of the kind of unwanted cybersex that takes place in the tavern. Klara logs off. What the fuck just happened? She discovered the “Rape Tavern” of World of Warcraft.

Klara’s name, and the names of other players mentioned in this story, were changed at their request because they were afraid other players would harass them.
