MAX MCGEE'S PROFILE
I CAN'T NOT MAKE GAMES.
I have enough lockerspace to hold an episode of Friends.
"We'll make a toast to absent friends and better days,
To remembering and being remembered as brave
And not as a bunch of whining jerks!
Don't lose your nerve.
Do not go straight
You must testify
(or I'm going to come to your house and punch you in the mouth)
cause CLOWNS MUST STAND."

New Policies for 2014: A Public Service Announcement
Obviously, this is a necropost and a half. I got here from here.
This is so unbelievably gay and retarded that it makes me want to spew. I had no idea that RMN had already been, for a year, on the bullshit SJW bandwagon of silencing dissenting opinions in the name of "tolerance". Because nothing is more "tolerant" than banning speech you disagree with, am i rite?.
Unless you are also specifically banning degrading language towards men (which would also be equally gay and retarded), this is an unbelievably despicably sexist double standard.
Let me be perfectly clear:
Here is another thing. This new rule, which I was totally unaware of, was specifically cited as a reason for my bullshit ban.
But when I said that "Zoe Quinn is a lying whore", that was not remotely "degrading language towards women". It insults one specific woman: Zoe Quinn. It reflects upon other women not at all. It effects other women not at all. It has nothing to do with the woman I have been dating for eight years, nothing to do with the woman whose team I was working on for the Game Jam that went on DURING this entire debacle.
The idea that calling Zoe Quinn a whore somehow degrades all women is a dangerous and toxic fallacy that is probably more harmful to women than to anyone else.
If someone says "Solitayre is kind of a prick" is that NOW "degrading language towards (ALL) men"? That the only reason it isn't considered that is because of a bullshit, sexist double standard is a dark reflection of the society we seem to be tumbling towards, headlong.
You are absolutely correct that you are not infringing upon our legal First Amendment right to freedom of speech. However, it is absolutely clear that you do not give a shit about Freedom of Speech because you have not protected it with your site's policies and TOS, and therefore you are still horrible fascists.
"Civil" human beings can still call someone a bitch when they are being a bitch, and that is Freedom of Speech too. It's just not allowed on your site.

Chance I will get banned for this post on the basis of it violating some unknown or conveniently made up rule: Who even knows. I wish I could say I don't care but...it's not even true that I don't care. I do care. This site is basically my sole interface with a potential audience of thousands for the hobbyist RPGs I have invested fifteen years of my life in developing. So obviously yes, I care a lot.
But I wouldn't be worth spit as a person if I cared more about the opportunity to try to get internet famous for making RPG Maker games than I did about what I actually believe to be right and wrong in the real world.
Actively and aggressively preventing the actual harassment of actual people, including women? Good and commendable.
Dictating and policing which words are and are not ALLOWED to be used on the basis of political correctness? Actual for real fucking fascism. And LITERALLY DEPLORABLE.
All I know for sure is that it seems more likely than not that I will continue to post a LOT less here. Even if I don't get banned for my opinion. Again.
If anyone wants to discuss this with me, please direct message me off-site. I'm not hard to find.

Degrading language towards women in submitted content is banned as per our Terms of Service.
This is so unbelievably gay and retarded that it makes me want to spew. I had no idea that RMN had already been, for a year, on the bullshit SJW bandwagon of silencing dissenting opinions in the name of "tolerance". Because nothing is more "tolerant" than banning speech you disagree with, am i rite?.
Unless you are also specifically banning degrading language towards men (which would also be equally gay and retarded), this is an unbelievably despicably sexist double standard.
Let me be perfectly clear:
- Not policing "degrading" language referring to women or men: Sensible.
- Policing "degrading" language referring to women and policing "degrading" language referring to men: Gay and Retarded.
- Policing "degrading" language referring to only women, but not men, or only men, but not women: Gay, and retarded, and a despicably sexist double standard.

If any of you think it would be clever to cite that this is an infringement on your freedom of speech and that we are horrible fascists for expecting you to behave like civil human beings, sorry, but this is not the case.
Freedom of speech only applies to what the government allows you to say. If you are a United States citizen and wrote an article for a newspaper saying that you think President Obama is a terrible leader, a squad of stormtroopers will not kick down your door and drag you off to Gitmo to be tortured forever. That's Freedom of Speech.
You are absolutely correct that you are not infringing upon our legal First Amendment right to freedom of speech.

Was really good imo for the time you had and the fact it was made in with Java. Did have a glitch at first where I somehow walked through getting the radio warped into the wall next to it and infinity got fragged and had to end the program to even exit BUT other than that good job!
this was made with JAVA?? the hell?
Gamergate Target Zoe Quinn Launches Anti-Harassment Support Network
Max, what you are failing to understand despite it being explained to you very frequently is that nobody cares about this. You posting your sixteen page manifesto trying to assassinate someone's character isn't going to suddenly convince anyone to hate Zoe Quinn or support #GamerGate.
Just because you don't care about facts doesn't mean that no one does.
I'm sure Zoe Quinn has done bad things in her life. I just don't care. It's none of my business.
You should care, and it is everyone's business, because she is a public figure and because her (very provable) past bad actions and her wretched moral character have direct relevance to her future endeavors.
The reason we're disagreeing with you isn't because we're uninformed, Max. It's because everyone found your posts pretty horrifying.
You don't speak for everyone, Solitayre, and all others can, will, and must speak for themselves. But I don't assume you to hold the proxy voice of even one single RMN member, let alone all of them.
If you actually feel like the "SJWs" have invaded and 'compromised' or taken control of any part of the media and there's some conspiracy on their part to keep #GG or gamers down, I don't know what to even say to you. That is tinfoil hat-worthy levels of lunacy. At any point while typing that, did it occur to you how crazy it sounded? You have my personal, sincere assurances that "SJWs' as you define them have very little to no control over anything.
Clearly, SJWs have a strong degree of control over RMN since I was banned for expressing opinions that SJWs find unpalatable. The official party line is that I was banned for 'excessive vitriol' and sorry not sorry but I don't buy that for one second: it was because my posts were not politically correct. I'm sorry to keep bringing up the ban--I would love to never mention it again--but when you say SJWs don't control anything that's laughable on the face of it, since SJWs or at the very least SJW rhetoric plainly holds a controlling stake in, at the very least, RMN. Silencing people for politically incorrect speech is the classic hallmark of insidious SJW control.
If you think this sounds "crazy" that's your prerogative, have fun. I have been called worse things than crazy.
You should read this, because I absolutely think it applies to you. Don't shake your head and dismiss it, just take 90 seconds and read it over.

sure ok.
1. Nope. It's by definition a conspiracy but it's not terribly elaborate and it's certainly not just a theory. I have seen far more compelling and obvious evidence of corruption associated with SilverString Media and the IGF than evidence that those entities aren't corrupt.
2. Nope. It really isn't convenient. I don't like being banned from RMN, for instance. Or alienating people. Or being called crazy.
3. Oh My God Fuck Yes. I have actually had my real career directly and explicitly threatened by SJWs for not toeing the PC party line.
4. I had a lot typed for this one but really it boils down to...Not Applicable.
5. Well, so this one is interesting. Because apparently for your "cause" to not be "bullshit" you need to have experienced a real world example of it in your life ... yet it must not "reflect problems in your own life". That certainly seems like a bit of a double bind and a Catch-22. Anyway since Cracked.Com is concerned (lol) let me reassure it that I am not lonely, and whatever my anger management issues are, they are certainly tangential to these greater issues in society.
This is why in my PM I suggested that you avoid topics like this in the future, because right now I don't trust that you won't go into frothing vitriolic spittle mode and spark more firestorms.
Well, you can use your own judgement to evaluate the "frothing vitriolic spittle" (is that phrase a thing?) levels of my subsequent posts in this topic and ones like it. To be absolutely clear, though, I am not hateful, I am concerned, and I am less angry than I am disappointed.
Since day one the entire "movement" has been about people wearing blindfolds and soundproof earmuffs screaming "I'M RIGHT" at each other as loud as possible. People can talk about the GG "discussion" as much as they want, but there is no discussion. If anyone actually gave a single shit about female representation or ehtics in gaming journalism or whatever they pretend to support they'd be out there doing their part to affect it, not screeching at people on the internet like fucking children.
To a large degree...I agree with you. The entire confluence of the #GamerGate schism and the degree to which it has fractured and fragmented the entire gaming community is really sad and upsetting.
So Sunless Sea is out.
McBacon Jam #1
So it is looking like we probably don't qualify for even the 10 MS badge this time. Barring my team mates doing something amazing during the rest of the day.
The scope that we were aiming for was way too pie-in-the-sky big for our intensity levels, and not to be 'that guy' but I kind of knew it from the beginning and said so (if we had all worked as hard as Unity every day, in a way that was actually coordinated and efficient, that might have been a different story, but eh, I'm not stressing it. Wasn't nobody payin' us, and it wasn't even a proper contest.) And then in the last days of the jam Unity and I both got shackled with some kind of winter death plague.
Not qualifying will be...a bit of a bummer. But I have to say it was a very fun experience nonetheless. And to be honest, I am quite glad that I didn't go "as hard as humanly possible" and gam mak myself to the verge of literal, physical death like LockeZ, even if that would have meant we had something to show. While I respect his dedication, I am not ashamed of prioritizing my actual physical health and energy levels over MakerScore. I'm not as young as I used to be. (I gave birth to Backstage in just under a month back in college in 2005 and it almost killed me.)
Jeez, I'm sorry baconator. That sounds awful. Some real tragic gift of the magi shit right there. : (

The truth id. I had wanted to do a webcast following this up, but this morning, some vision problems of mine decided to make themselves worse, so I wont be able to do that or play games too well for a while. I'm very sorry guys.
Jeez, I'm sorry baconator. That sounds awful. Some real tragic gift of the magi shit right there. : (
