Cat DeSpira I, personally, am not that disappointed. I saw that one coming a long time ago as well as some others. It's sort of funny. After all, Manson had people who to this day believe he is kind an innocent of wrong doing although he provoked others to kill for him; Jim Jones convinced 900 members to die for him; the KKK still obtains new members every day. Sheep are pretty obvious once you spend ten minutes with them. So, like I said, not surprised to see one sheep in particular appear totally blind to the truth that is right before him. That person lives vicariously through the experience of another who is cruel to others simple because he has a a lot of resentment towards me and others, like you, but does not have the balls to live it himself. Deep down he is a sadist, just like Baby Boy. Could not be plainer to see.
Thing is, you and I know how this will all end up. Baby Boy will turn on him just like he always turns on those who try to help him.

Really? What is the retro game that he should be famous for? Punch-Out?
Who has threatened legal action against you?
And why exactly was Scott "invited"? Why should he have to "give his side?" Let me make it clear. THIS IS A BOY WHO HAS THREATENED WOMEN (not just me) AND CHILDREN.
There is NO debate. Scott wants nothing to do with him. Why should he? Why should you? You would be a friend with someone like that?
Honestly, the only reason I'm involved is I can't wrap my head around the fact that people would support him... Even my redneck (who are secretly Hispanic but won't admit it) family doesn't believe that a woman standing up for herself is a "radical feminist". They don't believe (and they believe some dumbshit things) that...
You know what? I'm just gonna let it go with you for now. What's the point? I know religious crazy people that are easier to debate with than you. Oh! I have an idea! You haven't threatened me or my family yet, so why don't you invite me on your show? Please!
In the beginning, I gave them none...then as time went on over two years, when the harassment accelerated to impersonating me online, contacting prospective business partners, attack my projects and keeping online journals of my every move and comment on my private page -keeping silent is no longer an option.

Dear blockers (the new ones)
Please ask yourself truthfully why you blocked me without even giving a reason. Examine our personal relationship, our interactions. Ask yourself what I have done to justify it. Ask yourself if you think I would have done the same to you, as abruptly.
Ask yourself if you are truly offended by me, or is it that you are offended on behalf of somebody else?
----update-------
And while I we are discussing it, did you go ahead and block the new owners of Twin Galaxies for having Rudy stream Jaws for 24 hours AND come on the show to
talk about it later?
No? How come? What are your true motives?
It is easy to band together and agree to bash the little guy. It is a little harder to bash the big guy, especially when they have more supporters than you.
---------------------
There are several people out there who are really pissed off at me, but at least they opened a dialogue and didn't just block me.
There is a poison in the gaming community. People are picking sides, telling people who their fiends can be, people trying to find out if somebody watched a podcast when they weren't supposed to.
There are two sides to every story, but if you even dare to question things you are labelled a hater, a troll, a supporter of the evil ones.
Cult mentality.
Do you really want to keep perpetuating it?
Do you really want to unfriend/unfollow/block me? Is my support for you in the past so meaningless, that you won't ever want my support for anything in the future?
I am not telling anyone to pick sides, just to open their eyes and see what is going on.
I am not going to say something as lame as "you have made a powerful enemy!", but I will say you lost a good and faithful ally and it was all by your own choice.

Ben Mullen Its all about choice. And its not merely a matter of association. When you make a "magazine" cover that insinuates that feminists are demanding the word "mankind" be changed to "unkind" you engage in a form sex based politics that comes off as anti-women in gaming... not rudy, you. When you caption as well the title "madman or visionary?" you lend credibility to the attacks he makes on other people, and that's you choosing to do that, not rudy, not "guilt by association" but you. Now I have no intention of blocking or this and that and the other. But I think you should know why that cover might come off as upsetting to many. Its not only a matter of giving that guy a soapbox, but also a matter of the words you chose for that cover. Also, of course, I have no real stake in this type of page as it is an "arcade" page and arcade culture type stuff in the scene is normally pretty dismissive of consoles (which are the majority of what I play.

Ben Mullen I think the key concern with people like this is a bit confusing at first perhaps, but manifestly obvious in the long run. Any community should, I think, have some minimum level of ethical standard as a litmus test to be celebrated. If you just take a cursory look at this fellows "fan page" you will see ample evidence of the sorts of thing Melissa is saying here. She is not lying about the claims he makes at all. He very often calls PSP's and melissas son retarded, claims they live in section 8 housing etc etc... And that's just one family he goes after. Now I realize you agree with this from your other posts but the rub comes in what the right response is towards this fellow. A good example, and a complex one, is Bobby Fisher in Chess. Now Bobby Fisher is not a perfect example because he was (arguably of course) the best to ever play the game (a position this fellow does not hold in gaming). Also as bad as what this fellow in the gaming scene says, what Bobby fisher would often say was even worse. He would constantly make raving antiemetic statements, cheer on the 9-11 attacks, etc. So how does the chess world deal with him? Almost as 2 separate people in some ways. Many of Fishers games are celebrated as some of the best ever played and analyzed, while folks simultaneously denounce him as a person. I think the cover which poses the question "Is he a visionary" and makes a claim about what "feminists demand", seemingly a claim coming from you and not him fails to do what the chess world did. Its begs us to wonder if you agree with his non-gaming standpoints while the feminist statement begs us to realize why you may not have picked up on the misogyny in the recent "podcast". So really, its not even that players action that makes people upset so much as yours; the choices you made in the text of the cover etc... If instead you had made a cover that dealt only with what he had done in gaming (and where I differ from some is that I do think some things he has done are impressive) it would not have been so bad. I think in general we should read about, and consider how the chess world dealt with this sort of situation in the past as we make decisions about how to deal with a similar situation in the present. I hope this answers some of the question about why people might be upset about this cover.

Arcade Culture Magazine Very well written, thank you Ben. I think you may have missed the subtle humor on the cover. It was "published" in Oct of 2013, before TG was actually sold to the new owners. So, is Rudy able to predict the future (visionary) or just a raving lunatic (madman). TG was indeed sold a few months later, and Rudy was on the front page of twitch streaming Jaws to thousands of viewers. Renaming Mankind to Unkind is also a lame joke, but perhaps there is more truth there afterall. Everyone is being Unkind these days.

What bothers me is the amount of people who are telling each other what to do, what to listen to, etc. based on one of their friends being the target of Rudy, even when Rudy is also the target of that same person. They are in a MAD situation (mutually assured destruction). This lame cover was an attempt at defusing the situation a bit, while at the same time pointing out how utterly damaging BOTH sides are.

Melissa Leigh Patterson He said it on his own "fan page" in public. Told my husband in a video to "get over it" weeks later. Don't be blind.

Ben Mullen Melissa is correct, I saw this with my own eyes. In fact, he made those claims almost daily when last I looked.

Melissa Leigh Patterson What exactly has Dave done to you? Or anybody for that matter? You have done nothing positive for the gaming community, you're not "in the industry", and you are a waste of everybody's time. Dave has "hurt" nobody, so back off!

Juan M. Castellanos Hehe so if I use a, lets say, Hitler picture in my t-shirt then judish or black people cant attack me or make comments againts me because of that if I walk all a long street, maybe if I was in harlem, think about it, what should a gamer can do to be in your cover? Do lame scores in lame games? Attack women or maybe make racist comments via inbox? You sould see what you are doing before do it if you dont want bad publicity in your page. By the way the profile with the cat picture is Rudy.
