I'm sure this is a completely fair characterization of the situation and not a one-sided rant that lacks in crucial information.

Trust me, she's definitely unprofessional. And her games aren't very good unless you're an SJW. I had a whole list of links to post, but I'll just leave it at this: https://twitter.com/christinelove/status/483834786885038081 https://twitter.com/christinelove/status/483834786885038081 Paraphrased, "People who think my games are bad are homophobic"

  You've got to read pretty deeply into that tweet to come away with that perception. Why not just include the tweet, instead of paraphrase it: "People who claim to be feminists but then shit on queer girls just for liking games that represent them ARE THE FUCKING GROSSEST"

    He thinks "SJW" is a for-serious pejorative. What were you expecting? Digital: A Love Story and Analogue: A Hate Story are badass and y'all should play them. (Digital is free.) Hate Plus is interesting and a bit experimental; I don't think it works perfectly but it sure ain't bad. (edit: ooh, downvotes! Sorry, fellow straight white dudes, people saying things that make us uncomfortable doesn't make them "social justice warriors". Gonna have to learn to deal, guys.)

  Please don't bring "SJW" here. If you can't say what you mean without a slur, even if it would cost 8 or 12 more words, maybe it doesn't belong here.

    I don't agree with the parent comment bringing some random unrelated twitter drama into this thread, but c'mon, "SJW" is not a "slur".

  I had no idea what you were referencing; for those playing the home game: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SJW http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=SJW "A pejorative term for an individual who repeatedly and vehemently engages in arguments on social justice on the Internet, often in a shallow or not well-thought-out way, for the purpose of raising their own personal reputation." I don't know whether or not that applies, but you learn something new everyday. I should go post about this on the kiktweet the kids are using these days.

  Nope. I'm not a SJW (and seriously, you're not helping the conversation by bringing that in here), and I've loved all of her games. Not that it's relevant here - turns out this article is about the Game Boy, not Christine Love, not her games. This is totally unnecessary.

    You're right, and I apologise. Regardless of my personal opinions on Christine Love, what I said was an unnecessary and personal attack, and a diversion from what this thread should have been about: an interesting look at the technical aspects of the Super Game Boy.

  "SJW" is as useful a conversational marker as "feminazi" for revealing shitty opinions on the part of the user.
