LiquidOxygen80: You know, for someone who claims to stand for equality and all these positive things, all I see from every post you've ever posted, is the worst toxic, viperlike, cancerous personality I've ever witnessed. It's ironic that you're calling a bunch of gamers and women a hate group, but the only hatred I see from both sides seems to be coming from yours. That's not how you win friends, pal. That's how you get people to dismiss YOU as the hate group, because all you do is make unfounded claims, baseless insults and throw weak jabs at strawmen.

You're like a cartoon caricature facist, desperately trying to paint narratives about one of the most inclusive cultures ever, but the only thing that you've succeeded in doing, is making it LESS inclusive. I was playing Payday 2 just the other day, and a girl happened to join our team, and the two other guys respectfully asked her to leave, because they didn't feel comfortable playing with someone who could potentially slap abuse cases on them. They were polite about it, I'll give them that, but we knew nothing about that poor girl. She could have been really skilled and been a major help, but that didn't matter, because of the piss poor narrative you people have painted for normal gamers like me.

This isn't even an isolated occurence. I read that a woman gamer was asked to leave a DBZ game as well, for essentially the same reasons. So instead of making a "safe space" for women, what you're doing is making a clear division for people who never had a problem with it prior. I'm sick to death of people like you, peddling hatred in guise of progress, division in place of unity, and segregation instead of free congress with like minded people, regardless of background or ethnicity. If ANYONE is full of hate. It's not GG or normal gamers. It's you.

dragonbeast: thats a bit....excessive
(not that i don't understand where they are coming from. I myself sometimes feel uncomfortable taking a seat next to a girl on the bus because these days she might see that as harassment)

Just try to be polite. I myself tend to can the thrashtalk and memeing, which isn't actually a good thing because 1) you should be allowed to be yourself and 2)many gaming girls don't want players to behave different; (they often want to join in)
This was told to me by a female admin from a TF2 group i used to frequent. They all behaved around her as they'd behave around anyone and she didn't care/mind.

remember, many/most gaming girls just want to play vidya. Play vidya and have fun.

because that's what this is all about: VIDYA

Vainamoinen: Girls crash adults' party, adults ask them to go, girls ban adults from party, the end.

HiPhish: Bannig the HBB was not an act of misogyny, don't inflate the word like feminists do. I know it's funny to reflect their accusation back at them, but HBB were not banned for being women, they were banned for their opinion.

Fever_Discordia: They were politely asked to leave because a/ they misrepresented who they were apply for a stand for when they applied for a stand and b/ they repeated asked off-topic questions in fan forums and talked over the panel's attempts to answer those questions

Shadowstalker16: And how exactly does that warrant a ban? If you really think they were expelled for anything other than being GGers, you're kinda deluded. Its in SJW ideology; so its not difficult for people practicing it to understand. Who in their right mind will take and accept an official white collar statement like that? Lets not pretend they were asked to leave for reasons other than GG; because that is the obvious truth.

Shadowstalker16: Is talking about something going to make it happen?
I'm posting about an i5 4960X and an AMD Radeon R9 280. When do I get my free stuff from people who encourage toxic hardware culture?

Could someone remind me again how it's GamerGate driving women out of games, comics, and conventions? I keep forgetting...

MrLongPants: THIS IS WHY I NEED MENINISM!!!

Klumpen0815: Always choose getting information first hand if possible:
Klumpen0815: Klumpen0815: It's called masculism and is usually seen and slandered the same way as feminism was a long time ago, the post above this one is just one example of many.
