Does anyone remember the name of the youtube channel of the angry black guy ranting about gamergate?

Off topic (IMO, except it involves FemFreq):
Miracle of Sound (Gavin Dunne, Escapist employee), one of the few rational anti-GamerGaters around, evidently got pissed off at Anita Sarkeesian's (or should I say McIntosh, since he writes her stuff) bullshit about white people being the oppressors and colored people (her words) are the oppressed.
Well, Miracle of Sound comes from an Irish background, and he didn't take too kindly to that assertion. Seriously, scroll back and read through his tweets (Twitter shows the most recent tweets first, so you'll have to scroll down, find the relevant tweets, and then scroll up to read them all).
We already know that the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V will be playable from a first-person perspective. What we didn't know, or at least hadn't actually considered until now, is that that means players will also be able to experience first-person sex scenes.
It seems obvious in hindsight—the entire game is, after all, now playable in first-person—but even so, the gameplay footage floating around on YouTube (via Esquire) is bound to raise eyebrows. It is, of course, extremely NSFW, so bear caution before you click: It's not visually graphic, although it's certainly beyond what we're used to from, say, BioWare's sex scenes. The audio is certainly explicit.
Amazing how I can be completely opposed to his stance on Net Neutrality (I think NN is an even bigger issue than GG, we need to keep the internet like it is), yet see eye to eye with him concerning GG.My goodness it's fun bludgeoning people to death. I know I've written scathingly in the past about so-called ultraviolent video games, but that's before I discovered Postal 2 and began to appreciate the nihilistic abandon of chasing a fat bird down the street, tasing her from behind and then lopping off her head with a shovel. Mea maxima culpa.

That is fake right? Lol
Was gonna ask what he was implying with that pic, but was on the heavies and saw he posted up a porn gif
EventStatus? He hasn't done any GG-related videos in awhile. I hope he does, I think he does an excellent job.Does anyone remember the name of the youtube channel of the angry black guy ranting about gamergate?
I think your entire family should take a back seat and let these oppressed coastal white people (ironically very high on the socioeconomic scale, but still oppressed because of REASONS like gender and race, which they will say are social constructs but WHATEVER) be your mouthpieces, since it's obvious that these highly educated, upper middle class-to-rich, affluent white people know your daily struggles more than you.my parents are white, i have 2 Asian sister, 2 Mayan brother, 1 Mayan sister, an 1 black brother...does this mean my whole family being oppressed?:icon_lol:
Honestly, I'm much more troubled by the way that the industry is embracing hacks like Sarkeesian than by any of these allegations. She's not even a fan of games, she admitted this on video not long before she started this shit. She also lost weight and dolled herself up to be more presentable on camera. She's basically like a Armenian SJW version of the Greek chick from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
I'm sticking my hand in the fire with this one but I figure the people who hate me already hate me so it's not like it can get any worse. I was reading Miracle of Sounds tweets from last night where he was objecting to the "whitewashing" of racism against white people. The current popular narrative from some people who believe in what they call "social justice" (which still ultimately confuses me since it's such a nebulous concept and seems to mean different things to different people), is that sexism against men isn't real and racism against white people isn't real. Their logic, which I'd be interested to see if it has any basis in academia, is that you can't be "ist" against the people with the power, that the power dynamic is what leads to oppression ergo, "ism". It's an interesting idea that certainly feeds into the oppression narrative but, when I read Miracle of Sounds tweets I noticed a constant in a lot of what these people said.
It's so goddamn American.
Speaking of Event Status:
Oh and Jack Thompson is still an asshole. He can't whitewash what he did years ago. He's not an ally to GG. But when JT is calling you out... you must really suck.
Is David Pakman done with #GamerGate? I guess all the SJW's scared him off?
It seems like all he wants to talk about now is fringe religious and political nut-jobs which is pretty much what his show was about before he got into GamerGate.
Oh well, what can you really expect from a male who labels himself a feminist?
I love how she refers to characters in video games as "prostituted women". Even a lot of her fellow feminists objected to that BS. She acts as if prostitution is automatically something that happens to a woman against her will and that her consent doesn't matter in that case. Women can't make choices, they must automatically be victims of men. And at any rate, it's stupid to refer to video game characters with such Orwellian terminology.It was eventstatus, thanks.
Jack Thompson's position is entirely reasonable. I don't necessarily agree with it and I don't think there is any evidence to support it but it is reasonable.
Anita Sarkeesian on the evidence is entirely unreasonable and there is absolutely not evidence to support her claims even though she pretends there is.
He seemed to really panic when CBC used his face during a piece on Gamergate. He's gotten a clarification from them and I think he will now specifically avoid discussing Gamergate ever again. It's a shame because he was pretty neutral, said if anything slightly anti-GG but could see both sides. I think he's done now, saw his career going down the toilet and panicked.
It seems like a strange decision to stop cover GG considering he was getting over 3 times the views when he was covering gamergate. I notice he averages around 5,000 views on his YouTube videos. When he was covering GG he was getting well over 15,000 views.
It really seemed to bother him when he was falsely accused of being a misogynist. He even apologized when he was accused of victim shaming. Oh well, I guess he can go back to mocking fringe religious and political nuts.

... [Feminism] claiming it is the fight for equality and, yet, only advocating for women, feminists show the movement as stubborn-minded and prejudiced, acting upon illogical, biased and, therefore, extremist values. A movement is its voice in the media, and ours is constantly bombarded with the notion that women are the only oppressed gender while men are the perpetrators of rape, rape threats, domestic violence, cat calling, sexual objectification and with headlines such as 'a sea of misogyny', 'men should just shut up' and 'men avoid housework and don't do their share'. This can only have one outcome: suspicion, dislike and blame toward all men.
I am an advocate for women's rights. I have daughters and hate the thought of them facing discrimination, harassment, catcalling...or whatever else. I want to help create a society where they can safely prosper and choose whether they work or keep house, or both. But I have a son too, and I reflect on the discrimination I, and others, face because we are male. I do not want him to experience that which I have seen and felt.
So, I cannot stand by and watch feminism create such bias in our society. Call me an egalitarian, a humanist, an equalalalist (I made that one up), but I am an advocate for men's rights too...and that means I'm certainly not a feminist.
