cha ching!
seriously tho, if she had done that to a bunch of hippies or animal activists i would feel the exact same way, don't undermine and judge people because of what they look like and do for a past time....she just needs a little bit of help in the manners department
"Oh jirre Bakgat nou wat?"
Its NOT "Light Hearted" , the baby girl pretending to be a journo had this to say on twitter while at the expo :
Sourced from facebook , if this is factual then its clear that they need to get someone else to do the show , you cant have someone present a show they know nothing about , and worse , makes a mockery of , as done in the video:
Ok I've made up my mind! if my kids grows up doin this ish I will rent him/her friends and pay them all to have a social life!!!
Ironic that it is the small minority who are the reason they have a show at all. Take away the minority support and lets see where their show ends up
To me its a huge PR/production disaster. They just insulted their target audience?! WTF, are they even serious?! Trying to shift blame and start talking about a minority, grow up and see the lighter side of things. Please! It was a SHIT segment in their show, big fail.
Well, they can suck it! So much lost credibility.
wtf?! Fire her ass!!!its not "light hearted" , the baby girl pretending to be a journo had this to say on twitter while at the expo :

Yeah, but I undermine and make pre-conceived judgement towards hipsters all the time.
I find this entire affair laughable. Both from an industry point ( the state of the industry in SA) and from a gamer stand point. I can in all honesty say in all my time in SA i never watched The Verge, the one clip i did see was of the presenter FAILING to play Batman Arkham Asylum (in a non-combat environment) which kinda sold me on the idea that its a show by idiots for idiots. This entire "insult the core demographic" sage has just made me chuckle at the stupidity of the presenter and of those that seems to take this as some sort of personal insult. So the chick thinks gamers a a-social misfits, she isn't the first and she isn't the last. The fact that she host a gaming show should be considered mildly ironic if nothing else.
Difference is, you don't get PAID to do it, on a networked TV-SHOW!
Maybe everyone is just insulted by her stupidity? Anyway, she's in no position to insult anyone, anyway, since she's just an ignorant fool to begin with. But I understand why people are pissed off. Being ignorant is one thing, but being rude while at it is just very irritating and tends to piss people off.
I think the gaming community is pretty much just telling them to take their show and shove it up their arse.
