But a good trolling to a crook did seem the least bit called for. anyways, not wanting to get into it The point is that Devi's entire career and aesthetic is based on being shocking and offensive but whenever she gets the slightest bit offended she cries all over the internet.

Members 9520575 Posted December 13, 2013 Members Share Posted December 13, 2013 devi is love with the sound of her own voice. That tweeter feed is brain vomit. She tweets every other minute. I wanted to see the offending tweet, but that was like 48 hours ago... She isn't interesting enough to put in that amount of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reviewing the thread, I have noticed the person talks about being broke, and not wishing to take a pizza delivery position (instead asking for people to purchase a compilation "pack"). The statement"I am always free to talk about video games. :)" seems in direct opposition to the idea "...but I'm going to work full time night and day as long as it takes to make it up.." I have been informed the Devi Ever does read this thread. While Devi Ever may wish to frame the conversation as those merely wishing to baselessly disparage, I urge that person to really look at what is being sais. The money owed, the circumstances in which they are owed "the other half was mismanaged and end up getting eaten up by business and personal expenses over the course of the past two years.I understand this is negligence on my part," and the remedial actions (or lack thereof) being taken. This person fully admits "I know that this will mean I have lost trust in a number of my supporters and fans, and I don't expect to easily gain back that trust, but I'm going to work full time night and day as long as it takes to make it up to everyone." -- but does not appear to be willing to accept the ramifications of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if the money was used for transition procedures instead of what was stated I suppose you'd have a fair point. This. I do not want to read any LGBT-bashing, and if I see it, I'll be handing out bans. No, I have not read the whole thread yet... but I may eventually get around to it, so if you have any comments you'd like to reconsider folks, I'd suggest going back and self-editing them sooner rather than later... As far as the overall subject of the thread, I think it's fine to discuss what is going on, as long as everyone stays reasonable and doesn't resort to cheap shots about gender. That has nothing whatsoever to do with an individual's character or business practices. Furthermore it violates our site rules, and I really don't want to see it here on HC.

Members Shine-ei Posted December 13, 2013 Members Share Posted December 13, 2013 Having worked very closely with a university gay pride institution, having transgender coworkers and always having gay relatives I get that devi has had to go through some extremely difficult things in her life (and still does) however I feel her accusations that this thread is somehow hateful towards her because of her sexual orientation is a huge cop out. Transgenders growing up this day and age, going through what they've had to is no walk in the park. The people I know who are Transgenders have some of the thickest skin of anyone I know. I've read this whole thread and there's nothing that I would consider truly hateful. Devi is likely mad at this thread because she's probably mad at herself and in an attempt to justify the anger towards this thread and score some sympathy points she's accusing its users of being discriminating. Complete bull{censored} if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's one of the major misgivings. I notice that the person's twitter feed contains the following :I am broke because I owe a lot of people money. So I am making money to pay them back and some are mad that I'm trying to make money. :/ Which, I believe to be a complete mischaracterization of the problem at hand.The person appears to be trying to make the money through means that are largely speculative, appear more to align with the person's current aspirations than optimal income, spending a large ammount of time on social media in that pursuit, and uses a funding methodology that the person can't really handle appropriately.shockingly the person calls the console kick-starter "semi-failed" which is extremely disturbing as I can only assume the person views the successful half of the "semi" is their getting possession of the money - which suggests an extremely self-centered approach.I forward the kickstarter project was not semi-failed, but rather, suffered one of the worst ffailure modes possible.If, for instance, funding weren't achieved, the project would have simply been aborted with the investors not left hanging.Even if the project failed, but the funds were used in good-faith toward the development (as opposed to personal expenses, etc) the failure would have been more graceful.

Members captain insane-o Posted December 15, 2013 Members Share Posted December 15, 2013 I'm not clear on how to cleanly link to a specific twitter feed (I am not a twitter user, perhaps someone could help with that) - the reply chain looks not well orgnized, but you should be able to work through it.I'd suggest a direct reading (though this appears to be a bit difficult given twitter's arrangement)https://twitter.com/devieverThe issue is over (this is a quote, not my term") "My niggah", including directly addressing the objecting party as such, post-objectionnote : I don't know the racial identity of the objecting party (or if that matters) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classy!?!From what I gather, Devi Ever would not identify with "classy", but is more of a self-styled counter-culturalist. Well, aggressive, personal racism is pretty counter-cultural these days.

Members Your Brain on Hugs Posted December 17, 2013 Members Share Posted December 17, 2013 I did get the impression she was the one doing the actual "work" behind the business. Not sure how "slavery" comes into things. Maybe she was getting paid in free rent or a disproportionate wage to Devi's cut of the profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
