I see.
Eye for an eye stuff.
Then it seems that it is not general disagreement with what was said, but that he said it.

No, it was definitely what he said. He made it personal and used age and gender in his ranting. He insulted her intelligence by calling her a mental lightweight and her age by calling her a kid. Not to mention he said the only reason she had a following is because she's an attractive woman.

I mean, if you want to ignore things he actually said about her to make it look like people are smearing him just because it's him then that's fine I guess. But Jaffe is someone who regularly paints himself as progressive and tolerant, so his ranting here just makes him look like a hypocrite.

 

[rofif]

You all acting up like Jaffe is a bad guy.
He is a very successful guy who made some of the best games ever. He is an older dude who streams and smokes a pipe… or other recreational drugs.
He seems confused by the woke ideology and dragged into it, hence he defends it but not really sure why.

Anyway. Neither of us will ever achieve this level of success. So the guy can chill on his streams and say bs all he wants

was. (no one is taking his success away)

as streamer/content creator...

Yeah of course. no disagreement here.
But I doubt he tries to be a successful streamer. He does have his viewership though.
I am watching him sometimes and he is just chillin. Honestly I hope I will be able to do that at his age lol.

edit: Our dear asmongold here could dream of having such a creative success.
He was just lucky in the right place at the right time. The rest is history.
Now he is well spoken but he is a populist and he barely knows anything about anything other than watching videos

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

yeah.. but this is the irony. His "streamer" career doesn't reflects his previous success. so, the thing that he said about that woman content creator... (about not having the talent, mental capacity, intelligence..) can be very well applied to him in this "industry".

man can bake a good bread and be a sociopath at the same time. no connection here.
Gaming back then was different

 

[GymWolf]

I didnt really get that impression. The guy continued to try and engage with us on this site long after we were all officially deplorables.

Calling him out for the stupid shit he says in a public channel is hardly being deplorable.

 

[playXray]

I somehow simultaneously hate, don’t understand and don’t care about any of this stuff. Weird.

 

[laynelane]

Exactly! Great point. This isn't about gaming.


I hate it too. But Jaffe is also correct. Many people that hate DEI here, should be agreeing with Jaffe on this too.

What is correct about insulting/using a person's gender, looks, and intellect in an internet slap fight? It also sounds like you very much have the wrong idea about why people hate DEI in gaming.

 

[Neilg]

Even outside of this, jaffe has always come across to me as someone who's following has massively gone to his head and given him an overinflated ego. he speaks before thinking on so many things and pretty consistently comes across like an idiot.

I'd have been too embarrassed to put my name anywhere near drawn to death and that's all he's done in nearly 2 decades.

 

[JORMBO]

Jaffe reminds me of Al Bundy always telling everyone about how he scored 4 touchdowns in a high school football game 20+ years ago. He hasn't done anything relevant in a long time. Any time I see his name pop up it is always from some desperate hot take he wants to go viral to make a couple bucks on Youtube.

 

[Halo is Back]

David Jaffe couldn't find dirt on Vera Dark, so he went for with worst take possible, using her gender.

Unbelievable.

These people always throw out thier morals and values as soon as someone on the other political side has a different opinion.

 

[Halo is Back]

She is a normal looking woman. She is not some hottie babe showing off cleavage. Come on.

She's really not that big of a YouTuber either. I've watched her for a while now and her channel was very small for a long time.

 

[Topher]

She's really not that big of a YouTuber either. I've watched her for a while now and her channel was very small for a long time.

Yeah....I'd never heard of her until now. She has a decent following though. Better than Jaffe's....which is hilarious considering he was telling her she was doing this wrong.

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

Fat old has-been and a unattractive ginger why would anyone watch either of these YouTube channels go and get laid

 

[Kacho]

It also sounds like you very much have the wrong idea about why people hate DEI in gaming.

Disingenuous driveby posting is his specialty. Best just to ignore him.

 

[Neon Xenon]

I hate everyone involved with this.

 

[Humdinger]

It's all Veilguard's fault.

And there in lies part of the problem the "progressive" has over time been seen less as the group of tolerance and love and more as intolerant and hateful and Jaffe captures that perfectly,

there is a reason the election went the way it did and the progressive party is a HUGE part of it

People are seeing through the veil, that's why we're seeing such blowback against DEI and progressive policies and yes that includes games

Veilguard failed because of it's dumbed down rpg mechanics, it's HORRID writing and the fact they fortnighted/MCU'ed a dark and bloody series...the woke shit was the turd on top of a shit sunday!

[Pantz]

jaffe thanks shes pretty

 

[mdkirby]

Alanah Pearce posting pictures of her body and cleavage on a regular basis has a lot to do with that. I don't know much about the woman being discussed here. If she has used her body in the same way then I'd say that would be a good comparison, but otherwise....not really.

She appears on my X feed a lot, and I definitely wouldn’t describe her as being at all overtly sexual in anything I’ve seen of her. She has a generally pretty conservative aesthetic (especially for gamer girls on social media). Perhaps I’m wrong, but that’s what I’ve seen of her.

Not sure where she posts the pics, but they end up on GAF a lot when her name is dropped. It isn't bad or anything, but the difference here is pretty obvious.....

I've been gaming probably longer than you've been alive lol, so yes i know what he created.

At some point he lost his mind (seemingly around after drawn to death flopped) and went the mark hamill route of becoming old, bloated, bitter and extremely far left for reasons that noone knows. This is the same nutjob that apologized for being white, called metroid bad bad because he was a moron who couldnt figure out how to shoot diagonally, etc...

He has been irrelevant for a long time, and only posts the garbage that he does because people react to it.

 

[taizuke]

This comment was in his "Playstation Fanbabies Mocking Me Over Astro Bot" video.

I think some of his antics are on purpose. All in the name of channel "growth".

He is probably stacked and got old ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And I play games since the 90s so however longer you've played games.... yeah that tetris on atari really brings in some expertise....

Jaffe needs to pull a barv

 

[Unknown?]

On the Last Stand Media podcast after the election he painted is face red to symbolically represent blood from abortions.

The guy is a lunatic.

Say what you will, I think he is a lunatic, but I still like Jaffe. People are allowed to be stupid. Maybe some day he will see clearly and not crap from what he is shown on the internet.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

That's not the diss you think it is

she's always looked like she does on the right on everything ive seen

 

[Humdinger]

Yeah, she doesn't sexualize herself. She comes across as a nerdy gamer girl, smart enough, overly focused on the anti-woke stuff. The orange hair is weird, but whatever.

If I were her personal coach, I'd encourage her not to respond so vociferously to Jaffe's insults. The more you try to justify yourself ("I do not have this position because I'm a woman, I have it because I work hard," etc.), the more defensive you sound. "The lady doth protesteth too much", starts to sound insecure - like he pushed a button. Just laugh it off and keep going.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Dude, those are 2 different persons.

 

[Lukaku's First Touch]

Jaffe major hasbeen.

 

[mckmas8808]

What is correct about insulting/using a person's gender, looks, and intellect in an internet slap fight? It also sounds like you very much have the wrong idea about why people hate DEI in gaming.

I personally hate every conversation I've ever had about DEI in anything. I haven't seen or had one smart and balanced conversation about it in my life. It's almost impossible to do so on the internet. In 3 years "they" will have some other catch phrase that we will all need to be afraid of and panic about.

The fear is constant. Someone is always the boogeyman and it's silly.

Correct about what exactly?

I'm sorry but I've been in on this whole thing and haven't heard one thing this dude is correct about yet.

Correct about Vara? I already told you the unique thing about her channel is not that she is a woman but that she scoops on the outrage stuff usually hours before asmon and the rest.

Truth is Jaffe sees that we control the zeitgeist and Vara is one of the ways and he's not gonna be taking that back with a bullshit left wing gaming channel and his crazy logic, he's just gonna get embarrassed. He's mad because of "what we're doing to gaming" and anything else he says is just to try to hide that fact. He's literally the meme of the crying face behind the smiling one. He's the bluesky of youtube grifters.

You may not like how we are winning. You may think it's ugly. Well buckle up because you ain't seen nothing yet. We are a years ahead and our influencers have thick skins. Don't worry, we are gonna drag gaming kicking and screaming along this ride and everyone will reap the benefits, but we aren't doing it for recognition. We just wanted to play games. Good luck fighting this tide Jaffe, you're gonna need it.

This post is a perfect example of what I just said above. Look at the bolded. Why is Zacfoldor talking like this?

 

[mdkirby]

Dude, those are 2 different persons.

That was what I initially thought, was pretty hard to tell with the smushed up face on the left, and I noticed they had very similar eyebrows…..so I doubted myself …and figured I guess she could be wearing a wig, and dark always wears a non revealing black top everywhere else…so maybe they are the same? And that’s her being off brand.

You made me think... Vara's looks and intellect on Alanah's body would be too much.

 

[Bodom78]

Vara Dark is one of the most insufferable things I've watched. Put her in her place Jaffe

Disagreement isn't fear. You also still haven't addressed why Jaffe's response was "correct".

 

[Rocky_Balboa]

Jaffe's rethoric is amazing.

"You're disgusting, stupid, mentally handicapped, and literally the worst human being in the world. And that's FIIIIIIIINE. I am not saying it is bad. Hey I am bad at math. And it's fine."

Well the woke mess has a lot to do with the gaming industry becoming more corporate and leaning more towards women in a workforce on products that appeal to mainly a male audience…


This issue happened with Comics….

Women come into a male space push their agenda and try to be “inclusive”… (every product should have a target audience)

Now Women are entering gaming industry and making products for women when their audience are males…

Imagine Men getting involved in Barbie and making Ken the main product yet putting him in a military uniform…. Imagine men trying to be included into Victoria Secret and saying we need to be more inclusive….
