That's fine. You can check out my last big posts here or peep the GamerGate tag on Twitter or KnowYourMeme. There are people who will explain probably better than I can.

Pulling ad revenue from a site/company has a direct effect on the entire company. Was there a single ENTIRE company responsible?

A valid point, but you can't use that point without acknowledging the harm that comes from sites calling all gamers misogynist, racists, terrorists. And I don't recall this point coming in response to other actions against game companies (boycott whoever because DLC this and that). Only now are we supposed to consider that people in these companies could be hurt from their employer or co-workers' actions? Is this something you've always felt?
I've never read this kind of reaction to having ads pulled. In any other scenario consumers getting things done is fair game. |

I am talking financial damage. People that have zero to do with this could be financially impacted thanks to the stupidity of both sides of this nonsensical issue. Devs having to move ENTIRE FAMILY HOUSEHOLDS because of a group of trolls that want to "doxx" people? It is on the same level of "SWATTING" because you kicked some 12 year olds ass at the latest CoD. Example of mass boycott related to DLC that has harmed a company/studio? Closest RECENT event I can think of that even comes close was the uproar about the ME3 ending. Video games are another art form and the devs of ME should have said "STFU" and left it at that. They cannot though, because of whiney brats that believe something should be the way they want it without consideration of anyone else. When has a company ever been hurt from such actions? And no, it should have been considered BEFORE doing something so dumb. A leaderless movement of any sort will net you cannon fodder in any arena. This would be the equivalent, in real life, of country A outright obiterating country B and every single inhabitant because there were a "couple bad guys" that really needed to be destroyed. |

I mean; the swatting bullshit - would you equate that to the CoD community? Or would you conclude that there's just assholes out there? Quote:
I guarantee if there were no forward movement on that (as it was initially), it would be laughed off. But since things are happening - legally - contacting companies with concerns is all of sudden a hit below the belt. Quote:

Trolls aside; this is what many of these journalists consider reasonable:
They pulled because of the pro-bully comments from a Gawker writer I mentioned just a few posts ago. She knows this. This is a classic shaming tactic of extreme liberals. |

I guess the girl also cheated on her boyfriend who posted alot of personal stuff about her online photos etc.
She was doing a game journalist. People think she got good press for her non-game Depression Quest because of the sex. Her game is barely a game so it probably should have never been reviewed. |

It wasn't that; it was the reaction to the inquiry that revealed something off about how these sites covered the story (not at all), which in turn revealed gender bias - which in term coincided with their growing politicizing of game coverage. Their toxic behavior after the fact started GamerGate.
I just don't know what else to tell you. |

Ah, I see with the Sam Biddle thing. You pride yourself on being humourless, moral majority types who want press objectivity but magically still somehow respect advertisment funded press.

Both sides make fair points. However, just as in more crucial current events, the negative will shine through and everyone just ends up looking more dumb than when it started. I take the stance that this entire situation, on ALL sides, started over something that was very petty, has been blown out of proportion and effectively done MORE damage to the entire industry than helped anyone at all. |

When it goes without counter-argument has been an issue with people since any other area of sharing ideals regard conversation and debate as a required test of legitimacy - but she doesn't have to do that either. Kinda sucks her untested conclusions get so much clout though. Her vids are starting to be used in some universities. |

A female YouTuber was one of the first to get doxxed and she made a video about the matter. We can start with that if you like. And @Nero, a journalist who is sympathetic to GG, had a syringe sent to his house. Quote:
It seems to be that you're willing to carry the idea of journalists and indy game devs being doxxed and harassed, enough for this to be a main point of yours, while gamers getting trolled the same way is met with grains of salt. Only after I speak about gamers getting this treatment did you consider how hard it is to prove anything. Hell, you technically didn't see any journalists and devs get doxed either. Everybody's word against everybody's! Who's lying who's wrong?! If you're at a place where you just want it to stop, I get that. But as you said it probably won't stop. The unfortunate trolling will continue on both sides until we root out the assholes (which is a more likely unilateral victory than journalists simply apologizing and not calling us ISIS). Quote:

She's self employed.
That Anita and Jonathan McIntosh aren't versed in how games work before they criticize them is a major issue of mine. When Jon vilified the very concept of player control he kinda clowns himself. Anita's Bayonetta comments are stuff of legend. |

For those people who negged rep in this thread, waste your money away to support her bullshit agenda and false threats at Gamergate.. Bunch of brainwashed White Knight/SJW idiots. Also, don't play video games that are reviewed by her and labelled as misogynistic shit... There.
P.S. I used to be a feminist myself long ago.. But now, the 3rd wave movement/tumblr/twitter feminists like Anita really made me see the light of day. |

I don't understand all the vitriol being spewed. Clearly, if she's as horrible as you guys say she is, nobody worthwhile will value her "wrong" opinion anyway. What's the harm here? Is it such a critical injustice in this world that a female rightly has a negative opinion on how females are portrayed in the videogame world?

Opinion can't be wrong or right; just legit or not. She's not legit. She misrepresents games to push her message. She didn't use her kickstarter money for research/videos. And above all else; a video revealed she doesn't even care about games to begin with. Her boyfriend is more than likely using her to push his bigotry through a pretty face.
She was awarded an ambassador award at this year's GDC. She was invited to an EA studio to consult on Mirror's Edge 2. She had a recent speech where she actually pushed the message that when it comes to women it is our job to "listen and believe". Her busted research is being used in a few schools. Her (or Jon, I guess) ideology has been shown to be ultimately anti-artistic freedom, with thinly veiled shaming as icing on the cake for anyone who tries to engage her. It's so formulaic that a documentary is being made to focus on how she and other SJW/Feminists conduct themselves when called on their arguments/actions. Her having opinions isn't the issue. Those opinions being structurally weak yet above reproach is kind of a problem. This isn't even a GamerGate thing. If she had her way the games you guys enjoy wouldn't exist. |

I haven't used the word as derogatory in itself. A chat with SJWs on a blog site made me rethink my usage lately. When I mention SJWs it's for lack of better label. Go back and read my posts and tell me what I should put there. 'Gamer Libs'?
