This should destroy her reputation, but she's escaped scrutiny before. I would like to see how her and Jon's move into more mainstream 'critique' will fare for them.

Any SJWs answer to this?

Raven Reaper 10-25-2014 04:54 AM

Ironically, she forgets that the shooter also killed his MALE friends as well.. Guess she didn't give a shit about that one.

Kalyx triaD 10-25-2014 04:58 AM

I'm sure she's aware.

Overall I'm happy she went this far. Until this she played it safe.

The Rogerer 10-25-2014 05:40 AM

Please triangulate some statistics that disprove what she said. Please activate your deep blue brain and explain what the stated motivation for his shooting spree were. Please tell us what you'd do to her if you got the chance.

The Rogerer 10-25-2014 05:43 AM

What is it about gamergaters running breathlessly into a room, slapping down a printout from twitter on your desk and going "HA!!!!!......." and then staring silently at you for 5 minutes before staring out the window and going "Ho ho ho it's all over now"

Raven Reaper 10-25-2014 05:46 AM

http://www.realsexism.com/ These statistics help out? Look it up and tell me it's bullshit.

Burden of proof would be on her, sir. The default position to shootings usually isn't to put it on male culture.

I'll let this one slide. Pro-Tip: You can't actually say 'anything' you want about people on the internet. Do not misrepresent me as somebody who would threaten to hurt people again. It was a very random dig considering the rest of the post. Chill with that.

Why would that matter?

Sexist would probably only target chicks.

There you see, you don't care if men get shot too. It's only women who are being killed in violence.. So yeah men don't matter. Women ONLY matter... Fucking equality MY ASS SHIT.

So, I guess if you're saying men don't matter, YOU don't matter if you're a man too.. I guess you won't matter if you're a guy who get shot by other guys too. Fucking idiot.

She didn't say sexist, she stated that most perpetrators of mass acts of shooting are male and suggests it is as a result of "toxic male culture". So why would it invalidate that argument if they murder other men while they're at it. The fact is she's entirely correct that it is males who commit these mass acts of violence and indeed most acts of violence, whether she's right specifically about a "toxic male culture" is debatable, obviously, but that's why you express ideas. I don't see why she's wrong for airing that opinion, it's a valid one from her perspective. There's a lot of male anger around aimed at women and society, particularly on the internet.

Raven Reaper 10-25-2014 09:29 AM

Google Women Mass Murderers. There's lots of it. Fucker.

yet only one mass shooting in america was commited by a woman

Raven Reaper 10-25-2014 09:39 AM

My point is this: Regardless whether male or female of who's more violent even in statistics, BOTH sides are at fault here. Not just the guys..

I also blame the mothers of the killers who didn't get enough attention as a child either. Not because they were born male...

What about when a gamer guy gets bullied for coming out gay in the community and commits suicide? I guess feminists like Anita doesn't give 2 shits about it either.

What?

Raven Reaper 10-25-2014 09:44 AM

I guess you're homophobic as well if a gay guy commits suicide because he gets bullied within any community even GamerGate.

thecc 10-25-2014 10:34 AM

You are dumb.

And stupid

Raven Reaper 10-25-2014 10:46 AM

But this stupid person doesn't subscribe to "allegations of threats" that simply never happened at Gamergate considering it was a BAD PR publicity stunt.

ron the dial 10-25-2014 10:58 AM

i'm still having a hard time believing this is a real thing.

Vastardikai 10-25-2014 02:51 PM

*This is for Reaper and Kalyx*

What I'm gathering from this last page or so is:

1 female mass shooter is the same as whatever number it is (that is GREATER THAN 1) number of male shooters?

Wehttam 10-25-2014 04:59 PM

while i feel kalyx might be a 'good guy' on whatever side of the argument he is on, raven reaper defintely seems like the stereotypical over-reactor who just looks like a woman hater.

This.

Also I find it funny that STD said he didn't want to hear about this, then posted sixteen more times discussing it.

Reason why is because I don't like Anita who represents everything wrong in the gaming community like labelling everything in games as sexist fantasies for men.. She's no different than a 90s Senator who also thinks DOOM game promotes gun violence.

Kalyx triaD 10-25-2014 07:05 PM

Reaper can be excitable but he's 100% about Anita/Thompson/Senator thing.

Hell, years ago I had a thread in this forum putting Thompson blast for the same shit Anita's pulling now and the reaction to her quotes and arguments are night and day.

Or, ironically, sexist.

Raven Reaper 10-25-2014 07:42 PM

And for the record, I don't hate women, I just hate the bullshit coming from both gender sides' mouths...

I clarified that by saying I didn't really see any newsworthiness and it was getting in the way of Smelly's news posts.

Kalyx triaD 10-25-2014 08:00 PM

Obviously we have no problem with women and female characters in games. I think that narrative will naturally die out when people see it has no legs to stand on. In fact a great many talking points were killed off over the last few months, which is why they're doubling down on the harassment/doxxing. "Well they have women on their side and they're diverse - but trolls transcend race and gender! They're all trolls!"

What makes that tricky is the news media focuses on one side being fucked with, sustaining GG being the only people doing the harm in the public eye. Unlike the other talking points simply not being that kind of person isn't enough to convince people. Just a single dox on an outspoken anti-GG puts all of GG on the radar. We either did it or support it. And barring that; 'well you're in a group that does it/supports it'. All it has to do is happen and we're screwed, whereas the other stereotypes were beaten by taking action and getting reps out there.

Some game journalists and other people against GG have tweeted approval or support of people getting doxxed. Right there in the open. And people still believe GG are aggressors on that front. Because so long as somebody speaking out against GG gets doxxed, pointing the finger seems to be stronger than any form of evidence. We're still a hate group, because we can't prove a negative.

This is why I really jumped on the idea of dealing with the trolls before we can even continue the conversation of what games journalism should be.

The reporter got owned on this shit.. He must be a feminist himself..

Kalyx triaD 10-25-2014 11:41 PM

I believe he did fine. There were no anti-GG there so he had to beg many questions.

Tone down the rage, dude. I'm with you but being this tempered won't get you far. I've been able to talk with as many feminists and SJWs as I had by not being so aggressive.

Raven Reaper 10-26-2014 12:08 AM

Jemma was the loudest most outspoken girl of the 3 ever saying perfectly clear, "THIS IS NOT WOMEN UNDER ATTACK, THIS IS CORRUPTION IN JOURNALISM EHTICS." Nothing more.

Jemma is like my raging spirit animal, you know. lol.

Kalyx triaD 10-26-2014 12:26 AM

It was annoying how many times he went back to the misogyny angle. It was very good to have three women there (and one feminist!) to help squash that.

Raven Reaper 10-26-2014 05:30 AM

Yeah but that feminist doesn't even subscribe to Anita's sexist version of it.. Thank goodness for NAFALT. lol.

Kalyx triaD 10-26-2014 06:09 AM

A feminist on how she decided which side to take.

http://angelwitchpaganheart.wordpres...ker-and-tgwtg/

The Rogerer 10-27-2014 11:48 AM

She cares about ethics in journalism, so joins up the people who bother toy makers and write reviews about toys.

You didn't really address the previous point about why point out a relationship between violent crimes and being male is meant to destroy her. I guess the burden of proof is on you to explain why it destroys her rather than posting another hotlink.

Kalyx triaD 10-27-2014 06:27 PM

Her making a post like is that is a parody of why feminism has the image issue it has, and it puts her in opposition of people much smarter than her. She's playing big girl games now and her reputation will crumble now that she chose to elevate herself beyond talking down to gamers. In the forum of ideas you can't just say damning things about any group of people without some damn good backup, and her worst trait is her dishonest research.

I'm very happy she said what she said. And your cute thing about burden of proof and hotlinks doesn't change the fact that she went overbaord.

Kalyx triaD 10-27-2014 06:32 PM

Her dude, however, still takes the cake.

Serious or not, so long as people let stupid things like this deter the true meaning of any "integrity" movement, it will continue on as it has and seemingly get worse.

Kalyx triaD 10-27-2014 07:12 PM

Would I represent you correctly that you think a movement can only have a single goal and any deviation or addition is somehow a deterrence? Is this something you always believed about any movement in the past?

Yes the ultimate goal is integrity with games journalism; but I don't think it's bad to also call out toxic beliefs of where the game journalists get their beliefs, identify irrelevant tones that have arisen in the articles, stand against bullying, etc.
