Jessica chobot : An entitled group of gamers are having a ridiculous whine fest at Bioware.
Go look around the forums. Is she really wrong?
Yes. She's wrong. And all you're doing is piggybacking her insult.
Tell me how is she wrong? Almost every thread is someone whining about how Bioware isn't cool anymore or about how starchild doesn't make sense or about colours.
And the majority of people believe they should get a new ending and they should get it free.
Whining and entitled seems quite spot on to me.
You are the person who once wrote that you were glad if Steve got killed, because he was gay.
Hate speech above all else is something I won't stand for. I do not take ANYTHING you say seriously.
I KNEW I recognized his forum name. Thanks for reminding me.
I'm with you. Anyone who makes a hate statement like that doesn't deserve
my serious attention And guys, remember most of those calling us
entitled, whiny, petulant etc are hoping we will respond in a manner they think
will validate their statement. Remember, don't feed the trolls.
Concerning Miss Chobot; surprised she is that unprofessional on her
professional blog (not her twitter). One would think she would at least
finish the game and do a little research before making such a statement.
It makes me wonder. Someone earlier mentioned IGN generates revenue by
the number of hits. I suspect she was purposefully inflammatory in
order to incite this exact type of reaction, thus giving IGN plenty of site
visits.
I also grow tired of the term “vocal minority”. I wonder if people have forgotten how
majority opinions are determined by polls and surveys. Granted, any survey or poll on this site will
likely be weighted in favor of those unhappy of the ending. But when it is so heavily weighted (98%)
against the ending, then it seems to imply that this is not a vocal
minority. Add in the evidence that polls
on many, many other sites not affiliated with Bioware also have a huge margin
in favor of those who are critical of the ending, and one wonders how anyone
can still use the term vocal minority with a straight face.
This only serves to prove the whiny self entitlement statement she has made. Just because someone doesn't like something, like homosexuals or whatever, it could be anything it suddenly makes their opinion not matter on this topic? Some people might have religious beliefs that cause them to feel a certain way about certain people and I don't know about you but I'm all for religious freedom for everyone so it's unfair to judge a person on a statement made in the past that was likely not even serious in the first place being that this is a forum and it is full of trollish statements. Especially since Steve Cortez is a character videogame sprite and not a real person. Plus this justin fellow doesn't remember making said statement so perhaps you should consider that it may have been a joke or he didn't make it in the first place. Now you truly are acting like children. 'oh god how dare someone say somethign that doesn't agree with me, they no longer have any credibility just because they made a stupid comment, yes because we don't understand that people make mistakes or say things they don't remember saying because we're self entitled whiny cry babies that have to have everything our way'.
Tell me that you don't look at yourselves and see the entitled word stamped on your foreheads.
I know this has nothing to do with Chobot's comments but...
Valo. Please re-read that portion of your post in bold. Did you really just validate someone making a hateful remark against homosexuals as "oh well, he doesn't remember so it's ok that he did"? (even in jest, you have to admit its not cool)
If I made a hateful remark against jewish people, and then claimed I don't remember making it, would that be ok? No, because even if I didn't recall making that particular remark, I'm still responsible for it and I should still be held accountable for it.
I don't know you. But I wonder if you've ever had to deal with racism or bigotry in any shape or form. Because defending something like that, even if it's an offhand comment, is still not cool.

As for Chobot. She's in our game. Not much we can do about that at this point. Her remarks are crass and made worse by the fact that she hasn't completed the game yet. But lets not get too carried away here folks.
At the end of the day, does the opinion of someone who makes factually inacurate "hint" videos and licks game devices for views/notoriety/free stuff really matter?
