Almost all of Yangs 4%+ polls have been random non counting polls. And he's put up 3% in like 10 polls that count. It's going to take a nice November debate bump to qualify for December I think. I know he's been expanding his number of offices as well, but that additional ground game hasn't translated to % yet.


the constant 3%s are annoying, but he's said that he's just finally started to spend money and is planning to ramp things up, his first ads have gone out, and his wife is joining him on the campaign trail. have you seen any of her interviews/ads? she's wonderful! i don't think any of these polls have been after the opening of the offices and all this other stuff, so, we'll see...

this is why this sort of "objective" list is totally impossible to make

at least if it's someone's personal list you can be like "well that's fine, not everyone likes every game/genre, its hard to pick just 100"

this sort of list is just bound to piss people off because even with 100 entries, there are some absolute masterpieces and classics that you can't fit in (not to mention it has no character because it won't have any niche games, except games that are popular for being "niche")

4-4 is bad though.

Not sure there are any other cases in the series I dislike, though I think 5-2 and 5-3 were sort of forgettable. (And all of AAI1) And 4-2 and 4-3 certainly have issues, but I still enjoyed them.

1-5 used to be my favourite as well, though it's been long enough since i've replayed the whole series that i'm not sure anymore

i'm a fan of stories that go really in-depth exploring every detail so i really like how long 1-5 is and the pacing of it and what it focuses on

it's also the only case that uses the 3-day structure properly. 1-3 and 1-4 really, really do not, they both have a strangely pointless first day where the trial would have been a psyche-lock if it was in the other games, and 1-3's third day is weirdly short, and 1-4's third day transitions to being about an entirely different case

but i really like 1-5's structure with day 1 being one crime scene, day 2 being another, and then putting it together on day 3, and i just love how dark and dramatic the whole sequence is with young ema and the blue badger and etc

i can see why it's not for everyone though

Then why isn't the topic about them, and instead about an innocent person who isn't really the problem?

The fact is that any deflection to "mob culture" in this context is a direct attack on victims who speak out against their abusers. The goal is to defend abusers and silence victims by violently shifting the blame. That is the entire point of this topic, a big part of GG, and it is what you are directly supporting when you say "well akkkshullyyy it kinda makes sense that he's mad at the accuser!!"

Would you say that Epstein's suicide means that pedophile sex ring call out culture is getting out of hand? If Bill Cosby killed himself would you say that we need to relax our stance against people who roofie and date rape? (These analogies should not even be necessary but here we are)

That's exactly what you are doing here. You're not being neutral, you're not being open minded, you're not being intellectual. So if you don't actually support those ideas, then shut up about the dangers of mob culture in this context. JC won't shut up about it, because he does believe all this stuff.

Last post I'll make about this since I really only wanted to respond to Dels. GG wants this kind of "argument" to continue way too badly.


Acknowledged.

I'm not going to make a topic saying that ZQ is to blame for this, but if someone does, I can understand why they feel that way. I wouldn't say I'm supporting the accusation, just the human being who made the topic. You may feel it's the same thing. Your point (and Icon's) is that I shouldn't give anti-ZQ sentiment even an inch. You could be right. But tbh, if all the replies had just been "Here's why you're wrong" instead of "fuck you piece of shit, trash topic" I wouldn't have felt the need to say anything at all.

I think most people are actually in agreement with me that we want to see nuanced and respectful discussion of this topic, they just felt the OP's post wasn't, and therefore deserved scorn. And their reaction was different than mine.

It does seem to me like this situation isn't the same as those other two situations. I see your point though.

I think my stance is that ZQ had every right to say what she said (and was likely telling the truth), that what Alec did is wrong, and that mob culture is bad. My point wasn't to make this about mob culture though, just to defend OP.

No need to reply further if you don't want to, but that's my stance as best I can explain it. I don't have anything else to say either.

Well all he has done is go you guys not agreeing with me and condemning Zoe is lacking empathy about his death, thats unsettling, so

Its very clear by now what his intentions are


well, he didn't respond to my post i addressed to him where i tried to argue the other side. =/

I personally don't see his arguments as being totally illegitimate (about whether zoe knew the implications of her post and what her full motives were), though I don't think I ultimately agree. i do agree with what Wang said which is that ultimately she had the right to tell the truth either way, I think. But as you can see, I'm not locked in and I don't see it as black and white. That's just my opinion and I hope it doesn't make me a bad person.

but ultimately my main point was I like the way people like Wang and Zen have replied where they've said "hey, you're wrong, this is why you're wrong" or "this is why this topic is disrespectful" without full-on insulting or mocking the OP.

I want people to be open-minded and respectful and I felt bad seeing the OP get piled on (which also felt like mob mentality to me, tbh), but i guess that means i'm just being the civility police, which I'm sure is annoying. so I will probably stop posting now.

Translation of her "accusations":

I started dating a douchebag I met on the internet who indulged my desire to be choked during sex. Now years later, because I haven't been in the news cycle enough recently, I'm going to bring this up and frame it as abuse. Screw all actual abuse victims!

Until people like her start suffering for their false allegations, this will always remain a problem, and as long as the internet outrage culture machine indulges this stupidity, more people like Zoe Quinn will keep coming out of the woodwork.

Enough is enough


see, this is what i'm talking about when i talk about a scale of unreasonableness.

this post has zero nuance, zero respect for anyone, zero desire to analyze all the details/context, and zero indication of pure feelings that may lead to misguided conclusions, and 100% direct incitement to make "people like her start suffering"

so if anyone's not understanding why i gave jcgamer the benefit of the doubt, i feel this kind of shows an example of who i wouldn't give the benefit of the doubt too.
