I've always had the utmost respect for this man. Grim Fandango has always been one of the greatest games I ever played, and even the Monkey Island games and Brutal Legend are pretty good.
But what the actual fuck is he doing?

As a disclaimer, I DO NOT approve of the way he is getting branded as a racist or bigot. That is entirely hypocritical of gamergaters to do because gamergate received that exact treatment from anti-GG/SJW's.

However I think he is unwise to insult Gamergate since they represent HARDCORE GAMERS. And to insult #notyourshield... either he doesn't understand what it is, or he is a bit of a dick. For those that don't know, #Notyourshield is a group of Gamergaters who are from minorities (and yes, in Africa, an African person isn't a minority- but we're talking about the English-speaking, mostly-white west predominantly here). #Notyourshield is a load of lgb & t, non-white & even females who are gamers that don't like SJW's pretending to fight for them. And I can completely get under this, considering these SJW's pretend to speak on behalf of these people, meanwhile attacking them for being in a movement they don't like.

At the very least he was unwise. At the worst, he was a bit of a cunt. But let's not demonize him as racist or whatever here.

Seemed more like he was making fun of gamergate.

Nvm, lol

Finding time away from developing games, Tim has recently attended the Game Developers Conference over in the U.S.A where he was given a chance to chat on stage as himself and controlling a literal sockpuppet. While this would be all well and good under normal conditions, right now there is a bit of a cultural backlash against abusive behaviour and blatant corruption in the gaming industry. Some of you readers will have heard about it as something called #GamerGate, and whether or not it’s a hate group, or a legitimate push isn’t the point of this article. Instead we’ll be looking at the #NotYourShield hashtag, which is filled with ‘minorities’ (we hate this term, what is a minority? I mean, in Africa, is an African a minority? What about in China? Is a Chinese person a minority?), minorities that are fed up with game journalists and game developers pretending that they don’t exist and/or using them as a shield to deflect valid criticisms by labeling all gamers as white basement dwellers. And ‘minorities’ are clearly not white at the very least.
