RPGHQ data was used for a paper on video game modifications

[rusty_shackleford]

Can you imagine having to type that whole spiel because one dumb broad doesn't know what she's doing?

It's absolutely appalling...

Rusty strikes me as the kind of person who gets a tingly pp from that kind of thing.

I think it's the other way around. I think it's the broad that got wet thinking she's owning the nazis or whatever goes through her noggin

Remake of "What Women Want" but it's Mel Gibson losing it by hearing all the inanities that go inside the dogbrained women mind.

Hm one could argue the data on here is publicly available (though still bad ethics to not ask), however putting words into Rusty's mouth, especially in DIRECT QUOTES and in bad faith, is an absolute nono.
Depending on the topic, that could put someone at extreme risk if it became public and someone (who's actually radical) targeted him for it, or at very least be some sort of defamation?

Also lol at these *****, such a clear subjective viewpoint, too. From complaining about people restricting what they do in the bedroom, to restricting what people do in their bedroom (with their own game, while gaming, in single player, ffs).

Looks like there's these major points:
- Misrepresented as "Leader". Implies a figure of some group, pushing some agenda, not "administration". Incorrect, and paints a target on him.
- Defamed due to direct, intentional false quote.
- Left at risk from actual radicals, due to direct, intentional false quote on a politically charged topic. (the fact he's said other stuff that results in the same should be moot)
- The fact a false quote was used, very specifically with "Claims", and in quotation marks, with no "(our interpretation)" or similar, despite the fact Rusty demonstrably never said those words.
- Anonymisation not applied to Rusty. Targeting him as the "leader" specifically singles him out. "Administration" could at least sort of apply to the mods.
- The fact data was harvested without consent, or chance to give official comment. (Though publicly available, it's still bad form / ethics).

Now whether it's an official "peer reviewed" paper or not, surely if a uni opted to allow such to be published after receiving a complaint, that would leave the UNI culpable.
Sue their stinking woundholes off, @rusty_shackleford. IF they still allowed that to be published without edits, a good Jew lawyer should be able to get you megabucks.

There's one thing making an interpretation or forming an opinion, but outright ******* LYING on such a topic is another entirely.

Just reading your letter now. Good bloody point on them harvesting stuff from the members-only sections. That's not exactly fully "publicly available", indeed.
I understand GDPR but how does that work when it's an entity operating in Europe that's at fault, using data from overseas? I'd have thought GDPR and all the "rights" would still apply, due to the country that it's operating in?

Just wondered about the legitimate use / consent for processing data, and "right to be forgotten". Though I guess that only applies to "personal" data.
Not that it matters as everything you wrote trumps that, but curious whether it would add-on. The ****(s) are operating from Germany so, wonder if they're still bound by it if the complainant is overseas.

Nice letter, btw. This is one of those things that one MUST defend, like copyright sorta stuff. Presuming it can become "implied consent" if don't vehemently defend each breach.

Considering the "master thesis" I wonder, could you demand a full copy of her work? Or at least all the data she holds from here. If the argument is it's "your" data, might have the right to force them to hand it over, too.

At least they are not pretending (anymore). Its very clear from their mission statement what that the results came before their "research".

I think the authors of these things are expecting people from other countries to read them.

According to my wife that is not the case (she is a physicist) however there are different language studies possible, the University of my wife had Physics in english others have german language.

In other words it depends on both the field and the specific course(s) of the University. How that applies to social non-science studies is anyone's guess though.

To all the oldheads on here, if you were to guess what percentage of the current gay-mer audience is made of people who played games since the 90s, what number would you arrive at? I find it hard to believe that any "real" gamer whose played games since then would be a libtoid freak such as this particular specimen.

That's quite a hard guess. I think about a third perhaps? Most "real" gamers have not stopped playing, so they're quite a few. However gaming has gone mainstream, and a huge amount of people have come in, those being born later and just those who may have come to playing games later in their life. (not counting mobile ******* of course)

Considering how the population of western countries skews toward the 30+ age range (apparently the average US gamer age is 36), I wouldn't be surprised if that number was close to 50%. Even more when you consider that even people born 1999+ could have grown playing older games. With that said, I'm not sure that age has much to do with it. I've never met a libtard gamer, in fact most would easily fit in here outside their genre preferences.

TLDR - You should stick to using gaymer as the term for the mobile gachas/Fortnite/social media crowd and gamer for those that play actual games.

I'm from France (yet not a French thank God), so I'm breaking ToS I guess

But truth is, in EU we don't have free speech. Controled speech is more accurate. You can have legal attacks for "hateful" comments. So while France pretends to be the land of free men, it is not true. Germany is worse since they are way more into the woke and sucking migrant dicks.

My parents came in the 70s, respect the culture and so do I.
I just don't feel any real connection to the people or the country because (to sum it up), it reeks of laziness, sheep behavior and a huge lack of real patriots. Portuguese folk love their country and culture, a lot of Frenchies clearly don't give a rats *** by being replaced in a few decades with blackies and arabs who REALLY don't respect France.

I studied, have a respectable job, own a property... I'm far from being the problem. More like they take away my hard earned cash to sustain Ursula and her self-made problems (***** Angela Merkel was in that business aswell).

I just don't recognize myself in the country I was born and grew up in. Would be the same in my parents' country too, it doesn't feel like home or where I belong.

Yeah I'm german, bro. It's completely done here, you at least have the decency to burn down your country from time to time. Germany is in a full on stupor
