these things should get just as much attention than that other of the other side

Or the ISIS comparison tweet. I'm starting to think twitter is for preserving stupid stuff that people say for posterity. Not the most constructive use tbh.

Jonesy89: Ok, I thought it was bad when there was one tweet comparing GG to the Jews during the Holocaust, but this... this is somehow worse.

CthuluIsSpy: Ironically, there was also a tweet wishing for the members of gamergate to be sent to the gas chambers.
So yeah, idiots all around.
Let the choir sing its own song. The audience will have the say whether it's apples or oranges. Personally, I think the curtain has already been pulled.

And how do we review this performance, this cavalcade? I give it a rating of 3 mountain dews or 4 bags of Doritos.

Beer, dancing bears, and ending with some sort of raffle. Perhaps we pull a number or name from a hat and announce the winner. Shit, I don't know. I've had 6 beers, 3 pounds of turkey flesh, and I'm typing with one eye open.

Then you're half way to where you need to be!

So we're supposed to associate all GGers with the idiotic tweets of a few? Just like we're supposed to blame all GGers for the harassment perpetrated by a few trolls and sociopaths?

If you want a Ferguson connection, try this:

Should we hold all Democrats, left-wingers, blacks, etc responsible for the riots in Ferguson? Left-wing racial hysteria over a narrative disproven by the physical evidence fanned these flames. Sure, many have explicitly disavowed the violence, but most GGers explicitly disavow harassment. If we apply anti-GG "logic" consistently, we must conclude that all Democrats and blacks should be blamed for these crimes.

Starting to see how ridiculous the anti-GG thought process is yet?

Emob78: Oh no. You've done it now. You might as well have just sent Adolf Hitler a get well card. You silly sexist with your sexist game dev privilege.

But seriously, no don't run... don't hide. Don't shy away from GG. Stand your ground and fight. If you run now, you'll end up running your whole life. Some things are worth fighting for. Speak your mind and your ass will follow. Better that than the SJWs, who tend to speak out of their asses in order to find their minds.

jefequeso: Here' the thing, though... I agree with pretty much every sentiment of GG. I agree that videogame journalism needs an overhaul, I agree that there's a concerning bias on display, and I'm against radical feminism. The only thing I don't agree with is the idea that reviews can't discuss anything other than the surface mechanics of a game, but that's beside the point.

The problem is, now, the whole Gamergate thing has turned into party politics. The focus now is on defending "the team" against the other "team." And whether that's justified or not, it means that participating is less a matter of fighting for what you think is right, and more a matter of aligning yourself with a team. And I don't want to do that. I don't want to say "yes, this is the group I'm wholeheartedly part of," then have to be responsible for everything that group says and does.
Particularly when a group is so decentralized and connected together by hash tags and forums. But hey I'm old fashioned. I also don't feel the need to throw my hat in with people I don't know and may not endorse for the exact reasons above.

Though for the record I don't support bullying, corruption, censorship or twitter. Seriously, fuck twitter it just brings out the worst in people.

Never said that all GGers are guilty by association. I'm saying that it sucks that these exist.

I stand by my previous statements about twitter. That one was particularly cringe worthy.

I smiled when I just saw those "follow recommandations" on my twitter homepage. For the record, I never bothered to check any GG-related twitter page. See pic attached (maybe it' a sign from the gods of internet...).

You are clearly destined to be a SJW.
Embrace the hair dye, let it flow through you.

Currently watching the semi-official marketing conference of the unity engine and I LOL'ed at the intro of the press release:

Apparently there's a sympathetic profile on Anita Sarkeesian in Bloomberg. Milo wrote about it:

Gamergate is the present that keeps on giving...
