Buzzfeed Publishes Story, Interview with Jace/Jan

[Tookie]

How is everyone so convinced the Buzzfeed article is a fake when 99% of us were duped into thinking Jace was at least somewhat real?

He was in chat last night and was laughing that the article got published and didn't exactly seem "terrorized."

 

[waffle]

Yeah, Jan/Jace/dd/the pope was in chat last night and basically said he did it all for the lulz, no fear, no regrets.

 

[KingGeedorah]

I wish I could just live inside of Brianna Wu's mind for a day...

Then I realise it would be like this

Tuff to be a lady when men are cenobites.

 

[c-no]

I'm pretty sure he's just trolling them. I mean, he said the Jace character was created to parody Gamergate.

Yeah, the Jace character was around longer than GamerGate. If anything, the character would pretty much parody COD players who is real.

Lol, they're crying about how Jan LITERALLY HARASSED Brianna and therefore he's still a demon. Because some loony with a Prius and airsoft guns coming to challenge you to a street race is THE EXACT SAME THING as someone sending you death threats or making threatening phone calls to your home at 3 in the morning.

He triggered their feelings plus they thought he's a literal threat. The only thing that was real was the crash. The video of it however is as real as Wu's game getting a legit good score that isn't from a friend.

 

[I AM STRAIGHT!!!!]

After all this, you guys think he's a sincere GGer? Sorry guys I believe he's honestly making fun of the GG dorks. Will admit I'm wrong if it is shown otherwise. Echo chamber indeed.

 

[IcyHotWings]

If anything he's making fun of both sides. Trolls don't take sides, when trolls take sides they become easy targets.

"White male nerd culture"

I'm seeing this term come up a lot on mainstream websites like buzzfeed. Why is it suddenly socially acceptable to be racist towards whites? Can you imagine the backlash these journalists would receive if they called for the destruction of "black male gang culture"? I'm not even white but the obvious double standard is sickening.

I don't even care if it's racist, it's just bullshit. It's nerd culture. While (at least in the US) mostly a sausage party, it's always been inherently meritocratic. The fact that judging people on their merits may be anti-special-snowflake doesn't make it racist or sexist.

Jan is a god-tier actor and he deserves to be interviewed by someone other than a clickbait journalist.

Honestly I think you are just being oppressive againer non white and mixed race gamers. As a Eurasian gamer I feel we need more support from the gaming industry and this is one of the first steps. All this white privilege stuff is ridiculous, you have no idea how oppressed my gamer lifestyle is. Jace's race zone was a great step for gamers like me and I hope there is more stuff like that in the future.

Press 1 for slightly brown gamers!

Jace/Jan was never pro nor anti-gg.
Both sides of the gg debate are equally retarded and i think most people that post here hold that opinion.

 

[sonichufan]

Holy shit that interview is a master stroke.

All those Wu-natics on jezebel and buzzfeed are unironically saying he was asking for it and that he should shut up because he deserves it, blissfully unaware of the naked hypocrisy.

Jace, are you a descendant of Jonathon Swift or what?

 

[JON CENA]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=kdPZIVdSCvUMundaneMatt just talked about it. He doesn't realize either that Jan was just trolling with the interview.

@4:44 He says, without irony, "You mess with the bull you get the horns." That's awesome.

What with the likes of Homer troll shielding their own repugnance. I agree.
However, when I talked with "neutral" indie devs irl and their thoughts on gg -
They unintentionally fall somewhere in line with the Sargon(tl;dr yet fair reasoned gator) or TB(empathetic to gg yet neutral) camp.
The weird thing about conflicts is people share each others culture and become more alike than not.
No disrespect pro-pals you start using memes of the SJW crowd they become a part of you.
Make of this what you will - hopefully its the flame war to end all flame wars.
I'll agree with you that Jan hit the worst aspects of both sides. As a true comedic genius would make fun of everyone and spare no quarter.
Press gamers!

Both sides are spergs but anti-GG has lately got the upper hand on being morally repellent.

It's funny how I agree with you. Reub and Wu is proof enough.

“Some kid stood outside my window throwing pebbles. And someone knocked on my door — it’s a closed apartment, you shouldn’t be able to get in. And then there was no one there.”

I find it really hilarious how Buzzfeed took something as mundane as someone knocking on a door, or a kid throwing pebbles at a window as harassment that should have everybody quaking in their boots.

Exactly. The major point of this interview, aside from attention, was to satirize the folks that get scared to death over stupid shit. Sam and Jan act like they have made a horrible, life-altering mistake and show deep regret because:
1) Some kid threw a pebble at a window.
2) Someone rang their doorbell and ran off.
3) Someone sent an anonymous yearbook picture to them in the mail.

No rational, adult person would find the first two threatening. A kid throwing pebbles is a child flinging small rocks, not a terrorist that will kill you. Someone ringing your doorbell and running off is due to an immature adolescent, not someone that will hurt you. The third one is the most laughably ludicrous example, because it shows how some shitty journalists will just type shit without even exposing it to the most basic light of logic. If this is true, someone found out Jan's high school, got a copy of the correct yearbook, located and removed the picture, mailed the picture to him, had the picture travel through the US Postal system, and be received and opened by Jan. All of that in 36 hours max, and that is being very, very liberal with the allotted time.

Any decent journalist that thought about this for five seconds would realize that Jan is making fun of people like Wu and, again, poking fun at journalists who are unable to show even a modicum of common sense before they write and publish their silly blog posts. It's not surprising that the anti-GG guys don't see the irony and absurdity in all of this since they have so much emotionally invested it. It's frankly hilarious though how incompetent someone of these "journalists" are...these guys are supposedly professionals and they can't notice that someone is obviously giving a sarcastic, mocking interview. It's fucking mind boggling.

I find it really hilarious that almost no one has picked up on this obvious joke.

It turns out "LISTEN and BELIEVE" may not be the best advice for a journalist.
