I just thought that a little out-of-character chat might be necessary just in case anybody interprets Illogicopedia content as reflecting my real opinions and doesn't get the jokes.
So, for the record, my real opinion is that if you're working in games then I couldn't possibly care less what color or gender or sexual preference or whatever you are. None of that crap should matter. Ever. The only relevant question would be, '"Is your actual game actually any good or not?"
Also, are you using "protected status" as a crutch to score political points? Because on reflection, if that is the case then I'm gonna boycott that crap no matter how good your game is. You don't do that crap! You say, "Buy my game because it is a good game." And that's all. --Nerd42 (talk) 04:51, 7 Arply 2015 (UTC)
- Yes that is all out true. They are just in it for the free advertising it provides. XY007 ⊡ talk ⊡ contributions 04:58, 7 Arply 2015 (UTC)
- By saying, "And that's all" I mean specifically to exclude women, minorities ect not from working in video games, but from having their inclusion being any kind of special consideration or concern in the games industry. We should never, ever go out of our way to prefer women, minorities, men, majorities or anybody the hell else. Meritocracy and only meritocracy is my standard, as enforced by the free market. --Nerd42 (talk) 18:47, 7 Arply 2015 (UTC)

Because GG is now a largely irrelevant historical internet slapfight, I think this article should be rewritten and moved to a more appropriate title, e.g. Holy Autism War. I've been drafting an irreverent but reasonably objective article that summarises the facts. Bonkeyballs (talk) 13:43, 3 Aym 2021 (UTC)
- By that logic, the Peloponnesian War is now a largely irrelevant historical real world slapfight, and we should now call it something generic but melodramatic. CG098 (talk ☼ contribs) 14:11, 3 Aym 2021 (UTC)
