So much of the heavy criticism of Gone Home is not even based on the game, but rather a childish tantrum responding to the positive reception of the game. You can see this in the user reviews on Metacritic, which contain a tremendous amount of butthurt over the positive reviews it got and are...

Video review for Gone Home that does a fantastic job explaining why Gone Home is not just a video game, but a good video game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU-0Ijj-ZHA Follow-up piece by the same guy that addresses some of the more specific points people try to use to push the "Gone Home...

Me? Probably not. Did you actually read the article, though? http://www.polygon.com/2014/1/15/5311568/game-of-the-year-2013-gone-home Do you not think they did a good enough job explaining how they made the decision? Seems to me like they made a legitimate, well-informed choice. Here's...

So a web site you don't like gave a game you don't like "Game of the Year". What's the actual problem?

"I don't like Gone Home" is an opinion, sure. "Gone Home is not a video game and it only got good reviews because pretentious reviewers love them some LGBT content" is not just an opinion, it's an attempt to draw a line in the sand separating the "right" from the "wrong". It's defensive...

No, the lie is the whole "Gone Home is shit"/"Gone Home is not a video game"/"Gone Home was praised because QUEERS" narrative.

khorum: "The dumbass even cites GONE HOME like it's anything other than a long-overdue public service that people can refund that shit now." I've heard if you repeat a lie enough, you start to believe it. Do you believe this shit yet?

Phazael: "One side tries to deal in logic which is what wins debate by set definable criteria, but the other side just plugs their ears, chants, and turns the crazy up to 11." I'm 100% sure "the other side" would see things exactly the same way, only with the roles reversed. Interestingly...

eXarc: "Well, with all the other shit mixed in with this stupid fucking radfem craziness...can you blame me for believing it? :X" Yes.

Big Phoenix: "The core of the problem is that before these tards had no platform, with youtube, fb, tumblr and the like give these whiny cunts a free platform that reaches the majority of humanity." Yeah, and I wouldn't have heard of most of them if it wasn't for the angry posters here...

Voted. Good luck!

Lurkingdirk: "Can someone make this A Moon Bat's avatar?" What's the obsession with changing my avatar/name/title? I have bent over backwards to ensure the only way anybody could be bothered by my posts is to go out of their way, not just into the Rickshaw, but the specific part of the...

There's a lot you don't understand, bro.

Iannis: "Honest men exist. Eventually they will find their voice, and other honest men will hear them. More signal and less noise would be nice. But only nice. Not necessary." Hear hear!

Quaid: "The internet is fucking devious in its ability to convince people, through sheer volume and access, that their beliefs are acceptable or even 'right'. Confirmation bias is going to be the true ongoing struggle of the digital age." A THOUSAND TIMES "YES".

Lith: "the idea that if you think drawing cartoons is okay, you're essentially a racist redneck" Straw man.

Agraza: "He says in a thread built to mock his perspective. If you don't accept that as a valid counterpoint why would I?" Because "mocking" is never a valid counterpoint. Have I not made that clear yet? In any case, thanks for confirming that one of the reasons people are so convinced...

Agraza: "Have you ever been with a woman? Seriously. Mind games and irrational behavior are typical. It's why people say shit like we're two different species and men are from mars, women are from venus. Every time I think I've found someone down to earth and relaxed they find a way to go...

Fana: "right like I said you can't prove anything either, someones telling a bullshit story, i'm gonna go with the one where it doesn't involve mind games and irrational behavior." Wait a second... The version of the story that involves a girl becoming a scheming, vengeful crazy person who...

Gavinmad: "They're practically high fiving each other for ganging up on me, it's hilarious." It is, isn't it? I know that feel, bro.

Fana: "what do you call this tanoomba" I don't have to call it anything, she already addressed it: Sulkowicz: "I haven't faced him since he assaulted me, and I want to talk with him about what happened. I try to say this in a friendly tone, so that he doesn't get scared. I don't want him to...

Alkorin: No, no, no. You're not understanding how this works. She is the accuser. The onus is on her (and her lawyers, and her evidence) to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that her side of the story is correct and that she is telling the truth about what she says happened to her. That's how...

Fana: "I am mistaken" I'm proud of you. That couldn't have been easy, especially after your "wtf are you smoking" prickishness. Now, are you ready to admit you were wrong about taxi drivers being as popular targets as hookers in GTA? And about Boxxy having made videos criticizing...

Fana: "You addressed him directly last page? wtf are you smoking..." I'm not seeing it, brother. Can you find a quote or something? Also, I don't like to draw attention to who I have on "ignore" because I consider that childish and petty, but if it helps clear anything up, I don't read...

Fana: "No I don't mean cad, and who the fuck knows with you, you'd actually have to take a stance" Whoa, whoa... You lost me again. Where exactly do you think I was accusing Khalid of something? I haven't addressed him in ages. I think I would know if I accused him of something. Also...

Fana: "This is what you accused khalid of except the same thing is applicable to you as shown by the "fixed" quote. explain how you aren't going off feels data" I think you mean Cad, not Khalid. Yes, Cad is super confident Sulkowicz is a false rape accuser, even though there isn't enough...

Fana: "you can't prove shit moron" Now, now, Fana, let's not get carried away here. Deep breath, OK? Let's do it together. Ready? 3... 2... *inhale* ... (hold it)... *exhale* There we go. Now, what exactly is it you think I was trying to prove? 1 sentence would be fine. A quote would...

Lith, i guess I'll take that as a "No, I can't do better than Cad did defending our hypocrisy. My claim that conclusive evidence of consent exists was full of shit and I know it, but my feels and my pride won't let me admit it. Now let me cover up my inadequacies by exploiting group mentality by...

Soygen: "Her texts and behavior for months following the alleged rape cast quite a bit of reasonable doubt on her accusation. Clearly it was enough for the school to dismiss any charges or disciplinary action against the accused. I guess the school was just going on the "Feels" system too."...

Doc: "lol you aren't even trying anymore." Don't be so hard on him, he was totally trying. Fana: "listen up buttercup, this is literally your position, nobody can metaphysically prove it either way." I see someone's been playing with the Deepak random quote generator...

"Feels" it is, then. That's pretty much the only interpretation of "I personally don't believe her but I can't prove it" I can reasonably make here, especially since you declined to provide an alternate explanation. I'm still glad you've made the effort to read my posts and reply to me. Thank...

Cad: "You're just stupid, as usual, because there's a difference between I personally don't believe her and being able to prove it. I think the evidence indicates what I say it indicates, but not in a strong enough way to make her statements provably false. For defamation or filing a false...

Cad: "Uhh what the fuck are you talking about dude, nowhere did I say any such thing. I said I think she's lying and just being a vindictive female, but nowhere did I say she's "guilty" of anything other than being a lying vindictive female. If her statements were provably false she'd be open to...

Quaid: "Tanoomba chooses to create/perpetuate a label made up of three value judgements that are meant to demean without context." OK, here's some context: Angry: Have you seen the anger directed at Sarkeesian? At Quinn? At Dunham? At the Cosby accusers? At Sulkowicz? At Wu? At Chu...

Cad: "Nowhere did I say she should be prosecuted or have anything done to her regarding her accusations, merely that I think they are false. So, way to set that strawman on fire, champ." You claim Sulcowicz is guilty of making false rape accusations even though this has not been proven...

Cad: "Whats funny is, just like in Zimmerman, Tanoomba is once again assuming the story advanced by the race-baiting (in this case, rape-baiting) media is truth, the "victim" deserves complete deference, and we're all being "assholes" for not blindly agreeing that some guys life needs to be...

Lith didn't answer my question, but if anybody else would like to take a stab at it I'd like to hear: Why does this rock-solid evidence that Sulkowicz consented to anal not hold any legal weight? Why isn't Nangussen suing the pants off (ha!) Sulkowicz for defamation? If she "ruined his life"...

Hmmm... I'm curious as to how "Doesn't force himself on unwilling girls" translates to "bad in bed".

Well, I also like how AIAs are the opposite of SJWs in terms of ideals, but their equals in terms of tactics they use. There's a poetry there.
