I have never been so happy for a retcon in my life. Wanda and Pietro’s relationship to Erik has only hindered them character wise ever since it was introduced.

No more “will I be evil because my dad is” drama. No more losing their character agency to put the more popular Magneto in the forefront. No more dragging the more Avengers oriented twins into mutant drama.

They are free! They can now be written to stand on their own two feet again.

Whee!

Free to be the white and homogenized tartar sauce MCU versions of themselves that best fills Disney-Marvel’s myopic, badly-written, lowest-common-denominator-satisfying needs!

if you really like superheroes who don’t have Jewish Romani heritage then yeah good move.

I would like to add to the sentiment that Disney is stupid as hell and can go fuck themselves after this forced retcon.

Marvel are fucking Nazis

Correction, Disney sucks ass. From what I understand, Marvel themselves may not have liked this stupidity any more than their fans, but they had no say because Disney is their owner and Disney enjoys sucking ass way too much to stop doing it.

I would like to tell you a story about what my life is like these days.

Friday morning I wake up. I glance at my Twitter feed, which is full of attacks against me, so I pass it off to one of my people to clean up. I spend the morning dealing with the endless headaches of setting up a non-profit legal fund. I spend the early afternoon interfacing with law enforcement, and then I spend the late afternoon talking to people at Twitter regarding their harassment policies. 

Then, as soon as I’m trying to leave at 5, one of my people at GSX informs me that someone is trying to extort the people targeted by Gamergate for $5000 a month. I look into it, it’s legit – and then I end up spending three hours dealing with law enforcement again. 

You might notice that A. None of this has anything to do with game development and B. I don’t get paid for any of it.

The truth is, I now have a mob of people that make entertainment out of harassing me.  I wake up, they make image memes making fun of my looks. They threaten to extort me. As my dog was dying, I had Gamergate making a horrific day even worse. 

This is the thankless task I’ve signed up for. If I were being honest – I’m more than a little resentful. The vast majority of our male-dominated games press wrote a single piece condemning Gamergate and has been radio silent ever since. The publishers are silent, the console makers are silent. And so, Anita, Zoe, Randi and myself are out here doing the majority of the work, while everyone whines about wanting it to be over.

Meanwhile, the rest of the industry is doing what they do best, which is nothing.

The frustrating part is this. I’m in a position where I’ve GOT to act if anything is going to be done. Look at the extortion attempt – it’s relatively easy for me to get the attention of law enforcement on that because I’m already working with them. And so, on a Friday as I’m trying to leave my office, I find myself working until 8.

Something has to change. I have 3 games to get out the door – Revolution 60 PC, which is almost done, Cupcake Crisis and Project: Gogo. My team needs me leading them, not fighting Gamergate.

I’m not sure what the answer is. I might start a Patreon for an assistant to help with all these Gamergate tasks. I might just start doing less. But, I do know I’m going to lead GSX more this week and fight Gamergate less.

I got into the game industry to make games. And it’s time for me to get back to it.

No, but if that’s true, I’m not surprised. -ibuki

It’s true. Here’s the screencap before she deleted the Tweet.

is this actually true whta the fuck that’s disgusting

This is not true???  There’s no tweet about this.  I checked allllll the way back from before Mike Brown’s murder.  Also it was sent to a person named lgbtpeopleagainstsjws so…yeah.

That tweet has…

• No timestamp
• No retweets
• No favorites
• Isn’t her writing style

Also, on November 24th, she spent the day RT’ing People of Color on the issue. See for yourself

There is no honesty in this.

It is an absolute lie and a deception.

Worse yet, it’s not even a good one, because there are literally websites that auto-generate better fake tweets.

The only reason anyone would forward this picture is that they have either been tricked or actively, deliberately, participating in a desire to perpetuate false dialogue.
