@DoYaSeeMeAre you trying to bait R34 artists? Im down for that.
Also on topic, im not sure whats worse, the guy complaining about it since the added Characters are split 50% in male and female, or Dexerto picking that story up, i mean they see some random crazy neckbeard rambling like a tinfoil hatted homeless person and make news out of it. You can't take anyone involved here seriously.
@BigBlackCaustic & @Vladplaya That’s very true but every weird stuff gets covered nowadays to illicit a response. But depending on the character of the author if something doesn’t get the exposure they want they write even more about it or more intense until they get what they want @Vladplaya
- @Koochi-Q Any publicity is good publicity.
- @Koochi-Q Thats not how it works, if the author releases a dozen abominations that either gain no traffic or damages their reputation i can garantee that their boss will bend them over their desks and goatse them as they are still profit-based and likely have shareholders to please.
- @BigBlackCaustic With such a minor issue being the focus of the article, the benefits of exposure most likely outweigh the potential drawbacks.
@apostolateofDOOMThey are known for these shenanigans to such degrees that they are both directly and indirectly discouraged and banned from being talked in some communities like the competitive CSGO and Siege community. If they insult and degrade their audience enough they will go the way Buzzfeed went. Which means they will be stuck talking about safe and superficial nonsense in the hopes of regaining any audience.
- @BigBlackCaustic Oh no Mr. BBCaustic, I didn't mean the author of the article, I meant the author of the post of which the author of the article is writing about. I should've stated it more clearly.
I know authors of articles (usually) work for someone and they have to meet a quota each week, so it's not their fault when they come across something and write about it even if it's not deemed 'newsworthy' by some.
With my post to which you're replying I was referring about alot of 'extremists' (in the broadest sense of the word) who write about stuff they're passionate about. Usually they write/speak or advocate for a long time but don't feel that they get heard so they go over to extreme measures to ensure they do get heard. That's where I was going with my post.
