Brasas: If you really believe this is not largely political (yes, imo you're being disingenuous)
Vainamoinen: Then where's our basis of discussion?
Chironis opts for diversity for the very same reasons Shakespeare and Chaucer did and that's a fact. It's just that she goes a little overboard in finding that historically accurate.
This is political agenda paranoia about simple philantropist literary motifs which have, in one variant or another, been around since antiquity. This whole Social Justice Warrior conspiracy crap is continuously embarrassing the gamergate movement.
Even John Bain knows that, that's why he's desperately pleading to stop giving that crap more spins. So I am absolutely aware that not all gamergate currents pull off this delusion.
But, hey, good news for you. It looks like you're about to see TWO "Social Justice Warrior" Sarkeesian Effect documentaries in the future. The Owen edit and the Aurini edit. And right now, it's probably a race for them — whoever finishes first wins.
Interesting times, and, I agree with dragonbeast, we're not yet seeing the end of it.
What you call crap and conspiracy, others see the truth. For example, there was a group called the PMRC, they did bankrupt Alternative Tentacles records with a frivolous lawsuit and succeeded in putting Parental Advisory warning labels on music and pressuring some corporations not to sell music labeled as such. Those are all true...
SJWs did get GTA V removed from New Zealand and Australian Targets and Walmarts on the false grounds that the games was specifically abusive toward women. Many have said they are trying to change the games we play, that a day will come where story-based games will replace shooters and remarkably, many of these story-based games get rather exaggerated ratings on certain media.
There have been many such as the Duke Lacrosse team who have been falsely accused of rape, with plenty of media and political pressure at hand. Groups who claim women will never lie about it, but so many times that has been proven untrue. In fact, most often, when many of these groups cry loudest, it's after rational people have looked at the evidence and found it lacking.
I recall when a black man was killed at a shopping mall. He was shoplifting and was choked to death when restrained by a security guard. Jesse Jackson came to town calling it racism as a black man died at the hands of a white owned business. Didn't matter that the security guard himself was black. Whites were guilty because they owned the business.
So what you call a conspiracy, the more rational; among us see better than you. There are many such advocacy groups, many with great political power all trying to push their agendas as far as possible, even beyond rationality and reasonably.
Who do you think keeps sponsoring all these speaking engagements for Anita? Where is this money coming from? It doesn't grow on trees...
I'm certainly not saying every crackpot theory is true, but there are often elements of truth to many of them. Brianna Wu's self-harassment is one example. Seriously, using an image of a meme dated before the Tweet in question was even sent...other sock puppet accounts...
And @htown, you should be careful of labels, because unless you are in your mid-60's, I'm no "kid" to you...
