Was his Sierra documentary basically "they have (had?) a woman in an important role, checkmate feminazis"?

More than 1. Between them Roberta Williams and Jane Jenson were responsible for a near majority of their output.

Well precisely, even if you're a huge GG-er

There are other kinds?

Hold on, I thought that Real Gamers were supposed to be the silent majority? How is SJWs declining to fund his documentary supposed to be a problem?

He doesn't really explain this bit - it just goes from "Corey Cole said he won't work with me" to "SJWs are boycotting it so there's no point and I'm giving up."

I can only find one article covering it, and barely any mention on Twitter so I don't see where this boycott has come from. I think Jordan's just thrown his toys out of the pram because one of his heroes pointed out what a dick he is.

He reckons he took out a loan of £1,875 for proof of concept footage.

I assume he had a cunning plan that the documentary twist would be that 'Leisure Suit Larry' was a Sierra series so Roberta Williams is something something.

It looks like Al Lowe was the only person who had agreed to be involved possibly because he hasn't looked into Jordan's background.So you're probably right.The joke of course being that although the Larry games were,on the surface,incredibly non PC even for the 80s,the ongoing joke was always that Larry was a massive loser and most of the women were strong,capable and independent underneath their bimbo exteriors.

That Roosh shitehawk plans events of some sort in Glasgow and Edinburgh. He hasn't met many Scottish women if he thinks that is going to go well for his followers...

Cardiff as well. Apparanty they have to meet below a statue in the city centre (a statue of a.......woman) then enquire where the nearest pet shop is to be shown to the secret meeting place. And if anyone gives them grief they should be filmed and Roosh will extract revenge on them.

Surely it's not just feminists they need to worry about, but maybe groups of blokes on a Friday night out who aren't women hating cunts?

Asking where to find a pet shop? At 8pm ... that's the worst secret meetup password I've ever heard. Anyone they ask who isn't involved is going to immediately think they are a cold war era Soviet spy.

Surely most of these meetings are going to attract about 5 people max, and journalists will probably be all over them. Should be amusing at least.

I would've thought that a bunch of men meeting up in the evening and exchanging passwords before leaving to some secret location is going to look more like an erotic rendezvous than spycraft, especially if they're going to be asking everyone on the door whether they're straight.

And it probably is because I know Sierra pretty well and I've had to look up who Corey Cole is.

Turns out he was responsible for Quest For Glory, alongside his wife. So that's 3 top women at Sierra. I wonder why he's a fan at all, that's worryingly close to diversity for a gamergater.

I had to look him up too and maybe Belts just thought his wife being involved was all actually a ruse, hence not mentioning her at all even though they are apparently a team anyway (outside of marriage etc of course)

What's to stop some rogue element turning up in a fedora under the statue, and then when someone asks him where the pet shop he squirts them in the crotch with squeezy mustard?

It's a crime that's impossible to report.

Police officer: "Let me get this straight sir, at 8pm, you asked a gentleman in... a fedora was it? You asked this gentleman where the nearest pet shop was and he squirted you in the crotch with mustard."

MRA: "Yes."

Officer: "Have you been drinking sir?"

You sure that's not Torchwood?

I imagine he ignores Roberta Williams for much the same reason.

Roosh has made a lot of column inches down here because he's decided he's coming to Australia next week. And he don't need no stinking visa.

When it was pointed out that might be problematic he posted his solution. Taking a boat across from Indonesia or East Timor.

Be interesting to see if he tries that. He might end up having a really really bad time of it. Out country is pretty sexist so he might get a toehold here. It's also pretty racist and the guys up north aren't too friendly to people sneaking in via the sea.

To be honest, I can't imagine anything these attention-seeking losers would like more than seeing the massed forces of social justice out to oppress them for being men. The worst case scenario would be if nobody noticed or cared about their heavily-publicised "secret" meeting.

EDIT: that's probably slightly unfair, as a lot of the people who go to Roosh's meetings are probably either lonely and frustrated, or just naive. But the organisers are clearly trying to whip up controversy.
