Exactly. The video game industry needs to take a hard look at itself as to why they are trying to justify victimization and criticize "cyberbullying" when Fish has acted exactly like the trolls they criticize.

Sorry, but you don't understand protecting "Freedom of Speech" if you believe "lines" have to be drawn at some point.

You only say that because 4chan makes you feel uncomfortable, and because of it, you feel that the website should change to make you feel better.

Not going to happen, but at least you're free to visit websites where you can block anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, right?

You have the right idea. Really puts it into perspective, when these people act like their on a moral crusade defending a upper middle class assholes because he got mean comments from other middle class assholes.

No, please stop. I can't take it. What you wrote is an inaccurate interpretation of the facts. It also exposes your hypocrisy. You seem to speak passionately about "bullying" and that Phil Fish is a "victim". Apparently, it is wrong to harass someone on the internet, unless your name is Phil Fish. It is wrong to write "suck on it" "hows your boycott going nerds" "compare yourself to me and kill yourself", and to act like a disrespectful human being who insults his own fanbase, unless you are called Phil Fish. When people ask for Fez on the PC, and you insult them. That's okay, because he is Phil Fish, he is only defending himself from his "abusers", his fans. Phil Fish has a history of doing this for the past year. He acquired his notoriety preciously because of his disgusting actions. He was a bully, yet he couldn't take the heat. He IS part of the problem. Period. Now, when you realize that Phil Fish actions are indefensible, and are the REAL problem about this situation, you will say that he suffers from "mental problems", but this is another excuse.

Notice how there are many indie developers are out there who aren't being harassed. Thats because the idea that Phil Fish was harassed randomly is simply a way to gloss over the real issue. You spend all your time, like warriors, decrying about how bad his supposed "abusers" are, like there is some type of epidemic problem of people who are spending their time attacking poor Phil Fish for no reason. Yet, what set him off weren't the abusers, it was his critics. Again and again, he responded to his critics like a child. Shifting the focus on the "abusers" is ignoring the real problem. This is what western developers have become. It is sickening to see people defending the indefensible.
