White dudes chiming in on how women should be controlled and have autonomy of their bodies taken away. Funny that.
I hate these types of clowns with a fucking passion.

Thanks for this and fuck this dude, piece of shit.This doesn't surprise me.
I used to be a mod for Tripwire forums some years ago and I did some non-paid testing for some of their games over the years. I know a few people at the company because of this. John and I were "friends" on Facebook up until about the 2016 election.
I come baring receipts of him being a piece of shit for ages now. I had made a Facebook post calling out anybody that willingly voted for Trump. I said, in short, that those who voted for him "set progress and America as a whole back by a factor of decades, if not more." Included in the post were links to shit that any sane person would look at and think "how the hell could we elect this person?" But no, not for John or people like him.
This was on November 9, 2016. This entire post is public on my Facebook page. It was always public from the start.
John's initial reply to my post and the follow-ups.
Here is where John admits to unbanning a repeatedly excessive racist time and time again. He "tried to be kind" to someone that broke the rules on the TWI forums to warrant a ban about a dozen or so times, each time being unbanned by undisclosed higher-ups. Some time prior to this I had already stepped down as a moderator on the forums precisely because that user was constantly getting unbanned by "undisclosed higher-ups" and completely undermining the job we were doing as mods.
And now a great part. John says he can't be racist because the pastor of his church is "an African American!" Oh, also his daughters had crushes on "African American boys."
His last two replies on the post are here where he justifies unbanning the repeat racist offender "Mike." He then doubles down on the whole racism thing by saying he "knows many racists" (I'm sure he does) and that they would "never go to a church with an African American pastor."
I did not reply to him anymore after that. In fact I believe I removed him as a friend on Facebook afterwards.
So sure, it's not quite the same topic at hand here. We weren't talking about abortions, but John's true colors were pretty obvious even back then.
Fuck you, John. You were a piece of shit then and you're a piece of shit now. The only people I feel sorry for in all of this are the employees that will now have to deal with the fallout from your continued stupid bullshit.
Not shocked "prolife" and racism are usually kissing cousinsThis doesn't surprise me.

Which isnt surprising considering the website that supports snitching on women who have gotten an abortion (or wanting to get one) is now being hosted on the same server that hosts white supremacist websites.
That video of George Carlin ripping pro-life conservatives to shreds remains relevant to this very day, unfortunately. These people aren't pro-life, they're anti-women. Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em all.
Funnily enough, I was just watching this yesterday. Bit is ever so relevant today as it was back then. Despicable shit really. I really love how he dismantles the whole argument from the conservative side with such precision. It makes those against abortions look like the idiots they really are.
Carlin really was that dude. I miss his comedy very much! He had such a way with words.
Man, fuck him and their games. I almost bought Maneater. Surely glad I didn't. Definitely not going to support their games from now on. Already shared this with my family and friends.
Stuff happening in Texas' just horrible. I feel for those people who are being affected.

Yeah watched the full skit of George Carlin on abortion just yesterday as well. Definitely aged like fine wine.
Lol and top tier avatar there!

The fact that they support no social safety nets for those children says it all. Would love to see the list of charities supporting underprivileged children this clown supports.
I forgot to develop in my first response but I didn't wanted to be disdainful with stan423321 objection about spreading a leitmotiv rather than an argumentation.
In these exemples (abortion and torture) the confusion is between "human" in a moral or in a material defintion. So it wouldn't be on my side to prove criminals aren't humans when its's obviously easily proven they are materially.
The problem is on people wanting to dehumanize them, they would have to use moral to deny that part of humanity to justify their actions : torturing a bunch of flesh rather than a human being.
For abortion it's just reversed, they are putting moral in a bunch of flesh - an embryo - to give them the right to torture women with forced pregnancy. It's very pernicious.
Also, I don't think the problem is to convince bigots but more to find a way to circumvent and neutralise their capacity of nuisance.

You're kind of ignoring history, how companies work, and this guy's actual role in the company. If you want to keep buying and playing his games, just quietly go about doing so rather than give silly justifications on this forum.

Thats quite a weird thing to say considering Conservatives wants to punish women for the womens belief on having their own choice to have an abortion or not.

Ah, yes, the usual "complain about being criticized instead of defending your actual views" song-and-dance.
So brave. So principled. /s
Here I was thinking the bad guy in all this was the person who was applauding women losing rights over their own bodies. But no, it was actually me for not wanting to buy someone's video game anymore.
Reading this makes me feel weird. There is a huge part of me that has struggled with these kinds of thoughts over the years. I'm one of those people who used to say "there is always two sides of a story so let's just hear them out..." but I've come to learn that thinking that way is frowned upon when an issue goes beyond "sides." On one hand, I agree with what he is saying but on the other, there's absolutely nothing about this situation that would warrant this kind of mindset.
I guess what I'm saying is, I hope he becomes more educated on what is happening and deletes this tweet.
Not surprised considering the Islamophobic stuff I remember him tweeting a few years ago
Unless he refuses to pay the people working under him a salary until the game comes out and meets a sales quota, the people working there are getting paid just fine and refusing to support the company of which the president runs won't affect those lower on the power chart either. Damaging the reputation of the company was his doing and refusing to buy the games is the best way as a consumer to help show our stance on what the president said.
So is this guy donating a significant portion of his salary to help raise these kids? Because unless he's putting his money where his mouth is (he isn't), he can fuck off.
I look forward to continuing to not pay or play any of Tripwire's titles.

If Garry thinks he can change his mind then he can gladly try, nobody is stopping him. Apart from that he he should just shut up.
Thanks. I feel filthy for actually giving this company money in the past.

You know, I would still disagree with but at least respect a true "pro life" stance -- meaning not only are you against abortion but you're also in favor of gun control, in favor of social programs / UBI, and in favor of socialized medicine and vaccinations.
"Everyone deserves a chance at life" my fucking ass. I bet John's heart is just bleeding for all the kids that get shot at school or don't know where their next meal is going to come from.
Fuck. right. off.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. There seems to be some people who don't see much issue with abortions and it doesn't bother them. It does bother me, and I wish no one did them other than real extreme situations. But I wouldn't impose my views on others by outright banning them.
Why do you think we care what you think? Why do you think this thread is appropriate for you to tell us what bothers you?
This is a rhetorical question, you don't have to answer.
if creating an imaginary boogieman helps you sleep then sure i guess
As a logical centrist I think you need to listen to both sides of the issue.
After all, Pro-Lifers are people too, ya know. They might have some legit arguments.
All you guys are doing is dividing us further apart.
You guys are making it really hard to be an ally.
Also I think Racism has a place in comedy.

But that still makes you pro-choice, which is the sensible stance to take, because trying to ban abortions all together just makes things worse.
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare developer says female characters would make the game less appealing to women
Torn Banner explains why there are no women in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

I still remember this when the name Torn Banner gets brought up. They probably don't care.
Saying that having a child you aren't prepared for isn't an extreme situation to start with betrays your perspective. Having a child is life-changing in the most rosy of circumstances.
Well, I can safely say that at least one person I know from the studio (TWI, not Torn Banner) is drinking heavily right now.
Edit: Whoops, didn't see that this was on page 3 of this thread. The response is still appropriate now though.
Texas is just full of shit.
Open carry without a permit, abortion ban w/whistleblower site to alert the government of anyone going against the ban, as well as restricting access to voting. Then there's their shit track record on Covid, along with Florida.
If you're pro Texas anything, you're an asshole.
