Wardrox's Collection of Thoughts

I'm John Kershaw, mostly known as being responsible for Nukezilla. Coffee, videogames, feminism, roller derby (I skate for Manchester Roller Derby, my derby name is Sausage Roller. Good, isn't it?), writing and other fairly nerd-related things all float my boat. This Tumblr blog is a collection of things of interest to me.

cyclicaltremors asked: What is your opinion on the Paul Christoforo/Penny Arcade story?

The same opinion as everyone else, I imagine.

Though … perhaps with more sympathy. That guy works in PR, a horrible industry. And he’s now being mauled by bloggers who are arguably just as terrible as people. And all because the guy was an asshole. How dare he be an asshole! Real people are sometimes assholes, not PR people! It’s all descended into a bit of a hypercritical love-in lynch mob, which is always sad to see. But hey, the reader’s love some drama. And if one guy has his life ruined, who cares, we had a fun time on twitter for a few days when nothing else was going on.

But, he was an ass.
