I agree with you that that's what the Alt-Right (more like Alt-Left if they are true nazis), but the people involved in Gamergate were not part of the Alt-Right.

Wat? How did you come up with that reasoning?

Nazis are National Socialists.  It's their actual name.  Nationalism can come from all spectrums of politics, left or right.  However, Socialism is a tenant of the Left.  Of course, the extremes they took to get there is why they would be characterized as Alt-anything, as most people aren't going to go that far for their ideology.

The Nazis weren't actually socialists, they used the name to garner support while trying to gain power. The Nazis actually banned Socialism in Germany when they did eventually come to power.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I think it makes sense as Colin's stuff is so different from the rest on Kinda Funny, he always seemed like he wants to be taken more seriously as a critic rather than a bunch of people just having fun and I'm not surprised he wanted to take a different direction from the rest of the group. His work basically doesn't match the name of the company lol.

Colin was not a great journalist but... whatever. He is gone and maybe the show will end up better for it.

He wasn't a journalist. He has a history degree. He's never had any formal journalism training.

-Nazis were Nativist/Xenophobic =/= not tenent of left

-They banned communists and socialists in Germany =/= not tenent of left

-They don't believe in equality =/= not tenent of left

Nazis were socialist in name only. Their idealogy is far-right in practice.

Good riddance. He was a fool.

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I never knew Colin leaned right politically. I just knew him as the annoying PS and indie games fan.
