Dramacow Laura Kate Dale / Laura K Buzz / Joshua Dale / Laurawesome / joshany12 - Fake "leaker", autistic tranny, popcorn fucker

[RK 672]

Meet Laura Kate Dale

Why is Laura notable? You probably know her as that transgender game journalist who accused a Microsoft employee of misgendering her on stage at Eurogamer Expo (http://archive.md/o2GgG).
You may know her from when she claimed a cab driver tried to abduct her:

Or maybe when she got a game developer to pull their game from Steam Greenlight and receive harassment because the game's title was "Tranny Gladiator" (https://twitter.com/LaurakBuzz/status/678513696994418688) (http://archive.md/LNWeJ). Or maybe when she wrote an article for The Guardian about how World of Warcraft convinced her that she was transgender (https://www.theguardian.com/technol...-warcraft-game-helped-me-come-out-transgender) (http://archive.md/JIYZz).
Laura works as a gaming journalist, freelancing for various sites. She's become notable for posting alleged leaks on Twitter. She also makes "games" using Twine. Here's an article she wrote about the game, talking about how brave she is for making it: http://www.polygon.com/2016/1/19/10789720/acceptance-game-trans-risk (https://archive.md/MRzky).
Why is she being talked about right now? Because last night, Nintendo held a conference for their new Switch console and most of her leaks were wrong:

(Here's Ian Miles Cheong's compiled correct list : https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C2CBXQzUAAAwhME.jpg).
Despite not being invited by Nintendo (possibly blacklisted), she managed to get in to the conference due to this charming individual:

Now people are claiming that she's being harassed due to her erroneous leaks.

You can't even throw a rock on the internet anymore without hitting an autistic, game developing tranny. Hell, we even had an admin who fit that description.

 

[BigCountry]

Im surprised there wasn't already a thread on him already. He got absolutely btfo by the real switch presentation, hopefully people will now wake up to the fact that he has no sources and will stop indulging this freak.

I hate this bitch because he got lucky a few times with Nintendo Switch leaks and promptly turned into this self-indulgent attention whore who spends literally every five minutes talking about and referencing his leaks.

His ego is out of this world right now and even SJW havens started to turn on him for his incessant arrogance. So glad to see him brought back to reality...although apparently he's still defending himself on Twitter LOL

Anyone who idolizes the queen of mental illness Zoe Quinn is bound to be pretty fucked up himself:

(First think I saw when I opened her twitter was this retweet. Hey, at least she doesn't use a blocklist.)

 

[keksz]

she wrote an article for The Guardian about how World of Warcraft convinced her that she was transgender (https://www.theguardian.com/technol...-warcraft-game-helped-me-come-out-transgender) (http://archive.md/JIYZz).

This one should be a fun read.

 

[Librarian]

Anyone who continues to give this attention whore any credibility in the slightest is beyond delusional.

 

[Feline Darkmage]

So this is the one that my good twatter buddies David Gallant and Sebastian/InnerPartisan were sperging out in defense of when Cheong made corrections to her leaks and causing them to harass him more than usual?

Yep. Also caused Sabine, another rat king member, to freak out. If you look at the likes on the tweet, Jake Alley and Rani Bakr liked it though haven't commented publicly on the situation.

Who in the world thought that Mario/Rabbids RPG would be a thing?

 

[Bront0]

Anyone got the 'deadname'?

 

[KotAGoR VIII]

If there were leakers, it would be interesting if one of them fed Laura misinformation on purpose, because there might be retribution.

It'll come out soon.

Not a bad-looking kid. Not like most troons who start ugly then get uglier. He honestly looked like someone I could be friends with.

It's a shame. I guess spending too much time staring at his Night Elf's ass broke him and he decided he could just become his waifu.

I'm blocked on twatter by him. Which is weird, as I don't remember ever talking to him.

That's weird since I'm on the fatty meth list and the old UK feminist one. I can't remember if Wil Wheaton uses methy's list or has his own, but I'm also blocked by him. And like everyone else on twitter I'm #blockedbysteve. But I'm not blocked by this Buffalo Bill knockoff.

 

[Keystone]

I'm wondering this too. I've been aware of this Troon cow for a few years now and I never heard people use his real name; even ones like us who mock and laugh at cows like him that is.

well, I'm also on the GG blocklist, so that may be why.

I love how when @DickHardy888 trolled LKB, Laura's best response is to say that The Matrix was written by two trannies.

1) They were both men - complete with dicks and balls - when they wrote and directed The Matrix. Not to mention that it's plausible that someone else wrote the script and the brothers swiped it without given the original writer any credit.

2) No one cares about the Matrix films anymore, except for a few sperglord losers who think that black trenchcoats will come back in style soon.

Then DickHardy888 pours salt on the (axe) wound and tells LKB that the quality of the Wachowski's films dropped off when they chopped their dicks off.

This one should be a fun read.

Boy was I wrong - it was a purely autistic and non-entertaining read at all. Some highlights:

Spoiler: Excerpts

• I had found a world where I got complimented on my appearance in game.
  • This is the long and short of it: pretending to be a female character and player got him a ton of male attention and the privileges that come with it. Turns out he likes the attention, a lot.
• My growing addiction to this world [...] became problematic. I played all night and went into school in the morning exhausted. I was addicted to finding out who I was. There was something healthy in it.
  • Raise your hand whoever had friends addicted to WoW who played way too much, enough for it to hurt their school or work life. But no, in his case he isn't a geek at all, but a beautiful independent woman on her quest for gender identity! :autism::autism::autism::autism:
• Yes, the first time I got “outed” was on World of Warcraft. I used pictures of friends from social networks when people asked to see a picture of me. Eventually, people in my group got tired of those excuses. I lost a lot of online friends.
  • So when you bond with people online it turns out they don't like being systematically lied to, to the point you send them other people's pictures as your own. Who'd know?!
• I moved away from World of Warcraft for good not long after.
  • Of course, after her "female" attention wore out and he couldn't milk any more privileges from his guild or whatever he just left behind that "amazing experience, so much more than a game, which allowed him to be everything he'd ever dream to be and live free from judgment" or whatever. Anyone sees a pattern here?

As the old chinese saying goes "if you are found out by your admirers in an online gaming community go for broke and become a woman in real life because there is more pity to be had there". Also, if anything this article goes to prove that, indeed MMORPG really means Many Men Online RolePlaying Girls.
