What you can ask for is an apology, which he has already given, and for him to donate to charity, which he already does (but maybe it's not the right charity? idk).

the thing is though, what we get every time with PA is "GOD FINE IM SORRY CAN I GO PLAY WITH MY FRIENDS NOW I WONT DO IT AGAIN MOM. FUCK." followed by some half hearted donation to a charity because rich white dudes think that solves their problems

like it's this bizarre thought process of "oh i may have pissed these people off but if i throw a bunch of money at them i won't have to actually think about and analyze my future actions, right?"

the bad thing they did and their following reactions outweigh any good thing they have ever done is my point basically

especially when many of their good things are hasty responses to them being shitbags

probably the bit where you kind of like

debated whether the rape joke was a rape joke or not
304  Player / General / Re: RPS boycotting Pax on: September 20, 2013, 03:25:16 AM
making jokes about rape != encouraging rape
actually, yes, it does

by turning something like rape into a joke, you are (whether you're aware of it or not) actively supporting rape culture and belittling survivors which is really fucking shitty and trying to sidestep that the way you are is gross as hell

also, @nillo: that's cool and all, but they didn't. they mentioned rape. they made a joke about rape. and that's bad. stop defending people who actively support rape culture for any reason whatsoever just because of some bullshit "well if they did THIS instead" idea
like it should not be that hard to understand that by joking about rape culture you're supporting it, by being passive (or making jokes in this case) you are taking the side of the oppressors.

i'm not getting into a discussion on the difference between murder and rape and why the latter is Objectively Worse though bye

"there are only two genders and rape is 100% okay"

"rape is 100% okay" is definitely a straw man
how else do you explain making a rape joke, trying to sell rape branded merchandise, and proclaiming after the fact that you regret ever taking those things down because if that is not blatant support for rape and rape culture than I don't know what is

gamer culture is so fucking depressing. if both sides actually listened to each other,
if both sides actually listened to each other that would make people believe that "there are only two genders and rape is 100% okay" is a valid point and that's stupid

"listen to both sides" is a stupid spineless argument and doesn't actually accomplish anything

stupid

I think that's up for debate.

No I only have empathy to the suffering of the ones close to me.
Since you can't make everyone have a good life, some choices need to be made. Some will suffer and some will prosper.
The question who you sacrifice for whom?

*pulls clove out of $10 tweed blazer* lemme tell you guys a story. *blows smoke in your face* everyone who i dont know is shit and probably not even real as far as i'm concerned

if you dont understand the gta v hate feel free to go back and read through all the very detailed posts you apparently read about why its bad, dude

and im not saying if you dont *have* a solution you shouldn't be offering critique at all because that's 100% not the case but like
come on do /something/

give an example, make an edit, tell them how you would fix it instead of continuing the fucked up Pixel Art Gatekeeping where no one ever gets anything other than "that's wrong" or "that's great" thrown their way
312  Developer / Art / Re: show us some of your pixel work on: September 18, 2013, 04:08:16 AM
its really cool that you guys keep taking the phrase "vaguely insulting" to mean "an actual literal insult meant as an insult" because my point is still that a comment that doesn't actually tell someone how to fix the thing you brought up is vaguely insulting because you're just telling them that they did something wrong

like how is that hard to understand

probably the best part is that in order to remove a broken key from manga studio (easily and in the program itself at least because uninstalling doesnt delete saved keys and brushes im sure theres a file i can delete) it needs to be verified

otherwise it just tells you the key is not verified and needs to be before you continue
314  Developer / Art / Re: show us some of your pixel work on: September 17, 2013, 07:23:48 PM
an opinion can still be vaguely insulting if its as useless as "FIX COLORS" *dives out of thread onto magical nimbus cloud and flies off into sunset*

I can barely distinguish the colors from each other.. Maybe because I'm colorblind. But still..
a cool t hing to do instead of being vaguely insulting is to either make an edit to go along with your vaguely insulting comment or just say what you think they should use by making more words

gta does a piss poor job of satire because it never actually /says/ anything (which is. the entire point of satire) they just display these things that have happened and go "haha look"
