And that is ridiculous. So not only did she form part of the "I am offended!" brigade, she also can't admit to making a mistake.

One of the most depressing threads I've ever read, tied with fake Shenmue 3.
I love how she misuses the word companionship pretending it's not a loaded term that implies sex. What a disgusting mole of a human being she is.Also, this is freaking shameful:

Notice how she doesn't give a fuck whether or not she completely fucks over the reputations, family relationships, etc. of these girls. People like her do a lot of harm to the image of actual, serious, level-headed feminists. Unfortunately, people like her are the ones that are most visible as well.
Oh come on, how is what that guy is saying anything but an attempt at stirring shit up?Also, this is freaking shameful:

Let's not forget the people who fabricated the rumor.
And it didn't.It should have ended here - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=51943497&postcount=635
Let's not forget the people who fabricated the rumor.
There were attractive women in the VIP area. That's literally all that happened. Everything else was assumed. And wrongly assumed at that since nobody was paid to be there.And this is what I don't understand - where did this come from? There is just no way all of those people independently decided to make this up.
btw. Alex May later clarified that he wasn't actually there, just tweeted something he heard about.Let's not forget the people who fabricated the rumor.

Wandering backstage into a room full of women apparently paid to be there? That sounds a bit different.There were attractive women in the VIP area. That's literally all that happened. Everything else was assumed. And wrongly assumed at that since nobody was paid to be there.
You sure seem to love laying out your life right now. I know a lot more about you from this post than you know about me from mine.I hold NeoGAF to a much higher standard than any of those. Which may or may not be wise.
Seriously now, this may be more telling as well:
Number of posts in Gaming: 995.
Number of posts in Offtopic / Community: 0 (at least, I think so).
And it's exactly for the same reasons, I seem to be the only person on Earth that thinks that laying out your private life for the entire Internet to see is conterproductive.

Read Holly's twitter (should be linked a few posts up). She says there were an inordinate amount of females in the VIP. That's the backstage room full of women people assumed wrongly were paid to be there.Wandering backstage into a room full of women apparently paid to be there? That sounds a bit different.
I assume this was posted at some point, but another first person account of having spoken to someone who was "paid to party"

I do believe that Notch and the organiser didn't pay for anyone to be there. Perhaps this was the club or someone else involved?
Aha now it all makes sense. One of the staff embellished her job. Case closed. What's the bet she was a hostess in the VIP.
And it didn't.
And she carried on digging.
Later, she denies digging a hole (indeed, that seems to be her last word on the matter.)
Needless to say, her name's going to be a punchline for the next couple of weeks at least.
I'm really having a hard time imaging this scene. So some guy stumbles into some room where all these women are gathered (dressing room?) And instead of leaving he asks them about their professions?Wandering backstage into a room full of women apparently paid to be there? That sounds a bit different.
I get a bit upset at things like this where a party makes accusations outright instead of asking questions? There wasn't even a need to try to inject outrage or gender politics (at a fucking private party, nonetheless!). It's like this Holly person saw the outrage over the conference deal and decided she wanted her 15 minutes of fame, damn the facts and damn the consequences.
@notch - Hey, there are rumors of you guys hiring people to be at the party? True?
@winnersusedrugs - No

They do this because there are no consequences. Even if you're proved to be horribly wrong, you just Retweet the replies you've received from crazy people, and suddenly you've switched the situation around to where you become a victim.I get a bit upset at things like this where a party makes accusations outright instead of asking questions?

Or you just do an Arthur Gies and ban anyone who disagrees with you from your twitter. Such a professional that guy is.They do this because there are no consequences.

So she was actually a groupie? Which means she was with the band and had absolutely nothing to do with Notch and co. Nick Robinson is just as bad as Holly Green in this story.If there is no picture and witnesses giving different versions of the story, I don't know what all this discussion is finally about.

And we're getting all of this from someone whose Twitter name is "winnersusedrugs"? smh

What's your problem with "winnersusedrugs" being her twitter name? Don't you recognize the reference? It's pretty cool actually.
Twitter is a case study in confirmation bias. Just cherry pick the replies that make you look right and bingo, you're right.And it seems that no matter how wrong you are proven to be, there will always be a hoard of people saying things like "I'm glad you spoke up!" "Thanks for speaking your mind!" "Fuck the haters stay strong!"
I don't understand Twitter whatsoever.
No, if it's a reference then it's fine. If she legitimately meant it there would be my issue with it.
His Twitter feed has more details.
OMFG what a joke.
Ok, so apparently did he not even talk to them. Just assumed stuff. My guess is that he just saw a bunch of waitress/bartenders etc. calling someone to pick them up
