QuoteI have been harassed on Twitter and Reddit, I have had my personal e-mails hacked, and it is certainly not by those who support this revolt. It is by trolls and those who believe that as a woman, I am a traitor to my gender for not wishing to quell this debate, for not automatically siding with Anita.Wow, turns out reading that part would've helped.I don't wanna know what it will take for all of this to end (or at least die down).
Iced said, November 07, 2014, 05:41:20 pmthe people sending the knives and stuff are anti gaming edit:( or at least anti gamergate people, so, part of the sjw movement? I guess, maybe.)Ah, I see. I kept getting a 404 while trying to read the article earlier. It seems to be up now, but the 404 still happens occasionally... which is weird. Anyway, my point still stands for the most part though, harassing people for an opposing opinion, no matter what it is, is ridiculous.

"gamergate" always existed in one way or another (people complaining about game websites being shitty), it just has a name now and has gotten some shit done. internet threats and people being shitty in general will always exist no matter how many people tweet #StopBullying. twitter's reporting system seems to be excruciatingly slow and not very effective, that's what needs to be fixed if anything
we have all been on the internet long enough to recognize that people that harass are always present. The more mediatic the situation the more prone for it to happen. I find it more dangerous when someone thinks they are doing moral justice while harassing and harming others.Moral groups attract extremists that want outlets for their aggression. We shouldnt fail to see the forest because of the trees. Not all christians are bombing abortion clinics and not all sjw are sending out threats and trying to harm people. The anti gg would be less of an issue if it wasnt for all their public figures acting like bullying monsters and claiming moral superiority after, it just validates the extremists. Gawker repeatedly trying to push the narrative that "this time they are OVER!" has just been inciting that further.Everytime people fail to recognize "the other side" as humans this kind of situations just escalates and escalates.The audience of Anita isnt people who already know games, its normal people who know nothing of the genre, preferably feminists that are afraid of the stereotypes, stereotypes that she then reinforces.It would be hard to describe me with anything other than liberal, shit one of my oldest friends is trans, Ive come from a liberal arts background. And yet I can see this for what it is. Anita, Phil Fish, Mcintosh, they are all in it because they can avoid any criticism while doing it, they can become critics and get praised for being moral as long as they keep a puritan outlook on things. Its the same stuff Jack thompson did, just instead of targeting christians they are targeting sjw ( as their audience, not as a mark ) .When people criticizing them appear, they can dismiss them as being the monster they were speaking of.have a interesting articlehttp://metaleater.com/video-games/feature/rethinking-gamergateand a concise exchange between adults

So a man and a woman are two of my co-workers. I tell someone that I shit-talk the man because he has facial hair, a masculine body shape, and a coarse voice, while treating the woman like a decent human being.Great to know that it wouldn't be considered sexist, wonder if that same logic applies to race.
Actually. there are people who beleive that racism against white people doesn't exist for the exact same reason its a copy paste of another Ideology which is leading me to think that she is just trolling for attention at this point.
too bad feminists can't pull the white-something (white-african, white-latin, white-native ) when a female does something they don't like (male-female(?)).
Personally I think a lot of this is crap, be it sexism or racism alike. We as a whole species are not dominant over another just because you think you are better regardless of belief, gender, skin color, sub-species or even as stupid as higher intelligence because you have a scrap of paper you earned in some failure of a community college as proof (which even then you might have cheated your way to get there by every means). I wish people would understand this.And one more thing, for the abusive leaders in the world, heres a quote for ya."Just 'Cos You Got The Power, That don't mean you got the right." - Ian "Lemmy" Fraser Kilmister (good song btw.)

What does any of that have to do with Feminism in video games? (no to mention it was brought up in Random Topic)
