RWarehall: Do you even read?

Even in the full quote, she doesn't say she was wrong, she just says she (supposedly) learned to hold back from telling everyone about it all the time.

"you learn how to pick and choose your battles and that sort of thing"

Does that sound like someone admitting they were wrong?

But the reality is she IS wrong. When you look for sexism, or racism, or homophobia by association, you find it where it's not. Just look at her videos. She finds it in the way avatars are dressed; she's looking at whether more or less butts are exposed; the existence of prostitutes or strip clubs in the games. Are there "enough" blacks in the videogames? Is someone trying to protect a woman? One thinks Japanese culture is completely backwards, that sort of thing...

Basically anything she can construe as sexist, racist, or homophobic is in her mind and she proves her approach in her videos. She seems incapable of looking at anything with an actual critical eye. She seems stuck on the concept that anything that can be construed as one of those things, necessarily is.

Yes, the quote is snipped, but it doesn't appear to actually be out of context...nor to not actually reflect Anita's worldview.
Indeed, I don't recall her changing her opinion. as far as I can tell, she basically charges money for it now. (kickstarter & other such services & consultation fees)

I didn't know it was misquoted, so kudos to you for pointing it out and kudos to KiA for not being such an echochamber. Even then, she does say someone or some ideology encouraged her into doing that, and the thinking behind whoever or whatever that was is still scary to me.

EDIT : she didn't change it seems. So she still probably thinks like that.

Ralph is going to jail for drunken assault on police officers : https://archive.is/nzUAX
Still kinda strange to see him going to jail for this instead of basically being the one-man lovechild of TMZ and Gawker.
First bump of the year! Yay!

Seems like Buzzfeed may be in danger after releasing an ''article'' about how one of Dolan's lawyers met the Russian Hackers™ : https://archive.is/4bZy2
Hopefully they die and take their cancerous youtube channel down with them.

Last year gawker got dropkicked by Hogan. This year buzzfeed might be walled off by Trump. Who knows what else might happen along the line.
Jeez, i thought this whole stupid "#Gamergate" bullshit was already dead and forgotten. :D

Apparently having the responsibility that comes with journalistic credibility is a minor technicality for these outlets.

In a certain way it is, there's not been much to gamergate in the last months other than shitposting and gloating at all the bad things that happened to the media. The election of Trump despite unanimous consent that he'd never make it as nominee even kind of crowned that.

A lot of gators probably bled into the whole #MAGA thing too, that's probably how #Pizzagate and buzzfeed's lates mess started too.

Oh, i never knew that it actually was a "movement". But i have already posted more about this unpleasant topic than i should.
I'll just keep my trap shut and forget about it again. :D

Most people never knew much anyway, including myself. Anyhow, don't refrain from posting if you feel like it.

Just remember Gamergate isn't a "Hate" movement just a hated one.

I believe r34 is something creators should generally embrace as a form of flattery. This is a respectable way to handle it.

Yeah r34 artwork seems to co-relate with future success. Just look at Overwatch. Its pretty much its own porn genre now.

I must admit many things I enjoy were things I became aware of due to r34. Sex sells, that is human nature.
