He changed his name to "Anita Sarkeesian" and was doing quite well for a while.

>>3390262
Got a sex change and changed his name to anita sarkeesian.

>>3390262
He finally picked up Postal and Doom, decided they were fun, and started to keep to himself. That's what I want to believe anyways.

Basically all of the above.

During his court case against Rockstar he decided to see what all the fuss was about after all, played the fuck out of San Andreas, loved the shit out of it, went back and played Vice City, had a blast chainsawing hookers.

Pre-ordered GTA IV since he was super psyched for the franchise, got it day one and played it to death but when that chick you date ends up really being an FBI chick he felt completely betrayed and swore off the entire female species, couldn't trust another woman again. Became a fedora tipping MRA and protested against women's rights. While protesting a feminist rally in D.C. he met a cute librarian and hit it off with her. After having lots of hardcore anal sex and pegging she opened his mind to feminism, it was from there that he had gender reassignment surgery and insisted on being called Anita. Anita and her lover the librarian are a lesbian couple. She had a popular Youtube series for a while but has now faded into obscurity. Now you're all caught up.

Fake.

Everyone knows Anita was fucking Jonathan McIntosh up the butt.

>guy who thought games like gta were bad for kids
>girl who talked about women portrayed in video games
pick one.

>>3391269
Both moral crusaders. Same shit, different cause.

Gotta change to suit the times.

Last I checked he was still a conservative memecuck.

NICE HAWAIIAN SHIRT LOSER

This is a weird-ass website: http://www.jackthompson.org/

Nice layout though, very minimalist.

>nowadays jack thompson would be lauded instead of ridiculed

On his knees in a bathroom stall in Hercules.

>>3392412
The sad thing is this is absolutely true.

Dude submitted gay porn as evidence and got disbarred last time I've heard, forever ago. Can't make this shit up.

Not retro.

>>3392567
Pretty tangential, but
>On December 1st, 1997 14-year-old Michael Carneal killed three students and injured five more at Heath High School in Kentucky. Carneal later pled guilty to the shootings. The investigation into Carneal found that he played Doom, Quake, Castle Wolfenstein, Redneck Rampage, Nightmare Creatures, MechWarrior, Resident Evil, and Final Fantasy.

>Carneal’s crime saw Thompson begin his crusade against the games industry. In 1999, he, along with the parents of Carneal’s victims, filed a $130 million lawsuit against Nintendo, Sega, and Sony, along with Time Warner, Polygram, and two porn sites. Thompson claimed the games, films, and porn desensitised Carneal and caused him to kill his schoolmates.

>>3391269
The guy was at least sort of insane and comically out of touch. I don't think anyone other than soccer moms took him seriously. I miss when everybody had a sort of common enemy.

Remember back when referring to politics when discussing video games was seen as ridiculous and irrelevant?

Jack Thompson was the warning shot. Frankly, we should have thanked him.

>>3393079
in retrospect, this comic is pretty cringey

>>3393079

>"we're not violent, we don't have violent tendencies"
>"anyway, we outnumber you, DON'T FUCK WITH US OR ELSE"

If I remember right, a spanish FFVIII lunatic chopped his parents with a katana and Squall was all over the fucking news. Simpler times.

>>3392559

So basically he was a loony attorney that had his antics catch up to him.

>>3393312
>*unsheathes katana*

>>3393079
lol

>>3393079
Jesus Christ what a fucking autist

>>3393079
>I've played every violent game in existence

I somehow doubt the validity of that claim.

>>3393437
>pssh nothin personnel mom

>>3393185
it's terrible, it's why people have been talking shit about that stupid fucking webcomic since it's inception

if your eyes don't immediately glaze over when you see B^Uckley's rambling bullshit I pity you

>>3393312

I think it was a FF VII fanatic, but I might be wrong. I think the guy tried to have a hairdo like Cloud's.

But yeah I totally remember that. The kid killed his parents and sister with a katana.

>>3393183
Nothing good has ever come out of politics.

Violent video games caused my wife to miscarry.

>girl who adressed the UN general assembly in order to sharpen laws against mean words on the Internet

>>3391310
So you think anyone who believes in anything moral at all, and who stands up for themselves are all the same? Because that really sounds like what you're saying.

This thread is embarrassing.

>>3394243
"Standing up" against fiction, especially fiction in the context of escapist entertainment, is pathetic.

But please, write an article on how "gross" it is that you're able to watch a 32x32 sprite of a stripper dancing in Duke Nukem. I'm sure it won't be a waste of both your and everyone else's time. If anyone critiques your article, maintain an air of assumed superiority and you'll be on the fast track to a lifetime of parental disappointment.

>>3394254
I think it's awesome that I can do and see all sorts of hyper violent shit in video games. I just think you're pretty sad for getting all pissy and whiny over a washed out lawyer who was in turn just known for being a big whiny douche.

You're both the same. Anyone who doesn't agree with you completely is a terrible person and no one will ever hear the end of how much you don't like that they disagree with you. Cry me a, kiddo ;^)

>>3394476
I can feel your projection from here. Nice contribution to the thread, though!

>>3394476
>>3394495
You're both fags arguing anonymously on the internet to be honest family

>>3394527
First day on 4chan?

>>3391269
go back to gamerghazi

>>3390262
It's funny because in that Sarkeesian Effect docu, the creators interviewed Jack Thompson to voice his criticisms of Anita Sarkeesian.

>>3394637
What did he say?

>>3393079
>All those dialog balloons.

>>3393079
>>3395459
it's like 70% black and white text. I think that constitutes monochrome.

>>3393935
I found only one English article about it. It mentions "violent video games" but not FFXVIII:

http://www.iol.co.za/news/world/family-murder-for-a-new-experience-33177

This news report does, however:

Sure wish I could remember a bit more Spanish. I was surprised at how much I understood, though.

>>3391269
Thompson. At least Thompson had fuck all influence in the video game industry and was more obvious.

>>3392516
I dont know how thats not the complete opposite....

>>3392412
Not really. He'd be still ridiculed as a right wing nut because of his run ins with fags and blacks over "obscenity".

>>3390262
Got disbarred after dropping some gay porn in the middle of a case.

>>3393106
>Bubble Bath Girls will never rape you

>>3395481
>but not FFXVIII:
Shit is FF18 out already?

>>3392572
Nintendo? None of these games were in 99 on N64/SNES.

>>3390262
same as before.
He was paid to shill gta IV.

>>3399968
Your image doesn't support that. I would find it highly unlikely. Or are we just making shit up?

>>3400251
Just making shit up. He was a buttflustered lawyer who's now a disbarred buttflustered lawyer who OP is still buttflustered about.

>>3390262
Maybe he's dead?

>>3400281
Nah, someone interviewed him recently.

He even said Anita Sarkeesian is a hack so take that as you will.

>>3400702
Takes one to know one, I guess? haha.

>>3399954
Final Fantasy. Because suplexing trains make you a stone cold killah.
