Welcome!

KotakuInAction is the main hub for GamerGate discussion on Reddit.

What is GamerGate?

Our Mission

KotakuInAction is a platform for open discussion of the issues where gaming, nerd culture, the Internet, and media collide.
We believe that the current standards of ethics in the media has alienated the artists, developers, and creators who perpetuate the things we love, enjoy, and enthusiastically build communities around. We have taken notice of various incidents involving conflicts of interest and agenda-pushing within media which we feel are damaging to the credibility of the medium and harm the community at large. We believe the current media is complicit in the proliferation of an ideology that squashes individuality, divides along political lines, and is stifling to the freedom of creativity that is the foundation of human expression.
KotakuInAction is a community that condemns willful censorship, exclusion, harassment, or abuse. It is a community that organizes to hold the media accountable to the concept of artistic freedom by standing up for the artist, the developer, the writer, the filmmaker, and all who enjoy the freedom to create, explore, and expand. It is a community that allows the exchange of information, supports the ongoing discussion of media ethics, and protects the right of the individual to embrace their personal interests in entertainment and fandom.

/u/mike_pants you are a cancer. Please remove yourself from reddit and go into that newly created echo chamber.

I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. (finger guns) Topical!
[–]ShavingApples 51 points52 points53 points  (39 children)
Alright, you've showed up here so let me at least try to point out one fundamental distinction that you need to take to heart, if you are to be taken seriously when considering religious discourse.
Disallowed comments: Hate speech directed towards an entire group of people like an ethnicity, religion or nationality.
When someone says "Islam is a dangerous religion" they are talking about the ideology. What exactly they are criticizing are the religious tenets of Islam, the Quran, Hadiths, Sunnahs, etc. And a lot of what those holy scriptures teach is unequivocally dangerous. In fact, if we applied your "Disallowed comments" rule to it, much of the Quran could not be quoted on your subreddit because of its hatefulness toward women, Jews, apostates, nonbelievers, etc.
Criticism of an ideology should be heavily encouraged, not least for the benefit of Muslims themselves, so that their religion can manifest into the 'benign' versions of Christianity we see in the Western world today (even though there are still issues with it here and there). Remember, it is Muslims themselves who suffer most under the oppression of Islam; if you want to be an ally to them (which I assume your rule relates to) then you should do your best to allow discussion to flourish, whether it be in the form of intelligent criticism or rude satire (it all counts and it all helps to stimulate progress).
I don't know how much power you have as a mod and I don't know what difference a subreddit like worldnews makes, but I hope one day you at least understand the difference between criticizing an ideology as a whole and criticizing Muslims as a whole, because you are doing the latter a great disservice.

Waaaaaaaay too drunk too read this wall. Happy Thursday everyone! Two for ones! Whoo!
[–]Zederex 46 points47 points48 points  (1 child)
This is just pathetic.
[–]SegregationForeverdoesn't actually promote segregation 52 points53 points54 points  (10 children)
Yeah, when I was 15 I used to brag about being drunk too.

Whoo! Retro memories!
[–]Marsmar-LordofMars 23 points24 points25 points  (4 children)
Jesus Christ the lack of professionalism here is astonishing. May you never have a position of power higher than your shitty subreddit if this is how you respond to rational criticism of your actions.
[–]beauty_dior 7 points8 points9 points  (3 children)
He's not a professional anything. He's just a sad teenager on a pathetic power trip.
[–]Projectmayhem666 0 points1 point2 points  (2 children)
INTERNET POWER IS REAL!
[–]beauty_dior [score hidden]  (1 child)
Kinda sad really. When guys like this ban you from their little subs they threaten to have you removed from Reddit completely if you come back: Like that's the worst fate they can imagine!
[–]meatpuppet79 5 points6 points7 points  (3 children)
I don't think you're drunk, I think you're too cowardly to face what you do straight up and honestly.
[–]mike_pantstroll mod of /r/worldnews -4 points-3 points-2 points  (2 children)
Neat!
[–]suna-epar [score hidden]  (0 children)
I love how his response is basically "You're right, I don't have the intellectual fortitude, critical thinking skills, or even charm to stand up for my own beliefs!" so eloquently expressed in just one word.
Let him, and archive this pathetic circus. Don't interrupt your enemies when they're making mistakes, as they say.
EDIT: I'm not the best at reddit, is there a way to automatically show comments below threshold in a permalink so I can get archive.is to read it properly?
[–]agentace7 10 points11 points12 points  (0 children)
I don't think it's the alcohol that makes you unable to read...
[–]KyorakiCome and get him. \ https://i.imgur.com/DmwrMxe.jpg 21 points22 points23 points  (5 children)
Getting drunk on a Thursday night, don't you have a job or anything? Or are you like that GamerGhazi mod who made deleting mildly offensive comments from the Internet into a creepy obsession?
But then, I suppose you'd have to be some kind of drunk in order to enforce literal blasphemy laws on Reddit.
[–]mike_pantstroll mod of /r/worldnews -5 points-4 points-3 points  (4 children)
Eh. I work from home. And also, news flash: (news theme) Bourbon is the best.
[–]floppypick 11 points12 points13 points  (1 child)
I'd like to say, you're bannings were pretty freaking silly. Buy man, enjoy your drunk Thursday. Everyone should get a drunk Thursday sometimes.
[–]mike_pantstroll mod of /r/worldnews comment score below threshold-7 points-6 points-5 points  (0 children)
Sometimes? Hee. Adorbs.
[–]Ghost_of_Castro 6 points7 points8 points  (0 children)
/r/worldnews moderator is not a job. Does your totally-real employer know about your drinking problem?
[–]KyorakiCome and get him. \ https://i.imgur.com/DmwrMxe.jpg 4 points5 points6 points  (0 children)
Bourbon is the best
The chocolate biscuit maybe, but the drink? Blended American crap. Made mostly from corn of course, like everything else from that part of the world.
Maybe you'll act less childish in your moderating when you're old enough to appreciate a good glass of Scotch ;)
[–]Ghost_of_Castro 8 points9 points10 points  (0 children)
too drunk
If I had no life outside Reddit I'd be driven to drink too. 3.3 million link karma in 3 years. Good lord.
Also, please stop drinking. You're offending Muslims.
[–]spartanburger91 14 points15 points16 points  (14 children)
What an utter fucking disgrace you are. How does it feel to only matter inside your own echo chamber?
[–]mike_pantstroll mod of /r/worldnews -5 points-4 points-3 points  (13 children)
Pretty okay.
[–]ProblematicReality 7 points8 points9 points  (11 children)
Look, I know that you feel, that you actually believe what your doing is right, it's morally justifiable, it's on the "right side of history". But.., how to I say this without sounding condescending.., you're wrong, you're dead wrong. You cannot suppress reality, you cannot ignore events and what those very real events have on the opinion of people, people like you but that don't think like you, or to put it in another way - people that are rightfully expressing not only their opinions but a version of the uncomfortable reality what we live in, not with "bigotry" but with harsh facts. You know that everything has consequences, nothing is simply "white or black", and your actions, as well-intentioned as they might be will have consequences, even ones that might contradict the same thing your trying to prevent.
I cannot change your mind, and I'm pretty sure I won't. But all I want is you, just for a moment partake in some introspective, insulated from peer pressure, and think. One should use their heart to love, and their head for everything else, this might, might be the latter case.
PS: Read dead when you sober up if you will.
[–]Lithovore 1 point2 points3 points  (7 children)
Re read this please, it makes good points.
[–]mike_pantstroll mod of /r/worldnews -5 points-4 points-3 points  (6 children)
Nah.
[–]Lithovore 1 point2 points3 points  (5 children)
Too bad, it did really make some excellent points.
It also shows that you are entirely unwilling to look at yourself critically, after all, you have the moral high ground and nothing can possibly go wrong.
A real shame.
"...if you think you have the moral high-ground, that's a dangerous thing..."
[–]mike_pantstroll mod of /r/worldnews -2 points-1 points0 points  (2 children)
30 Rock is pretty damn funny. Heh heh.
[–]ProblematicReality 3 points4 points5 points  (1 child)
Read the PS.
[–]suna-epar 5 points6 points7 points  (0 children)
He's not going to. Far too chickenshit to actually defend his actions so all he will ever do on this thread is shitpost.
[–]spartanburger91 8 points9 points10 points  (0 children)
And that's why you'll never become anything.
[–]DancesWithChimps 8 points9 points10 points  (0 children)
As a very confused 15 year-old once said, "with great power comes great abuse of power followed by intoxication"
[–]Superpat12 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
When you're point is proven wrong but you immature so you pretend to be drunk. What are you, a kid?
[–]kaltigur 26 points27 points28 points  (2 children)
islam is a violent cult unfit for western society and you're a fucking wanker for defending it.

You basically put a star of david on that guy because you didn't like what he said. Holy fucking fascism.

I cant believe they put you in charge of a news subreddit. Pathetic
