The problem there is that in MANY articles and tweets, people criticizing these extreme asshats have just said 'gamers.' 'Gamers' are violent and misogynist or however you spell that word. 'Gamers' hate women and minorities and are mostly white horny teenage boys. I'm a married man with a daughter. I happen to be…

Sure, sure. I can get down with that. Though, honestly I don't think anyone is going to put that much effort in, because in the end, it's....gaming....this isn't ISIS being reported on. But I could be wrong, maybe the level-headed moderates will, for the first time in history, tell the extremes to shut up and sit down.

It's actually not like that at all, since #gamergate is a tag, not an organization or group. It originally had to do with questionable ethics in gaming journalism, but now it's been hijacked by a vocal minority of nutters. So if some people would like to take the hashtag back, they should do #takebackgamergate and…

Yep. But how do people who want to see the grievances with the gaming journalism 'industry' have a discussion now without it being hijacked by either being called a 'gater' and thus by association a misogynist nutter, and thus having no valid opinion or being by the nutters themselves? I posit that it isn't possible.…

I agree with that. With every word of it. So much agree.

"Gamergate may have a logo and a mascot, but it has no leader, and as a result its many supporters can remain unaccountable for any actions they deem the work of fringe extremists."

"We are harassed too!" Gamergaters say. I have no doubt that's the case, and that sucks, too. But while I happily echo my boss Stephen's repeated calls for across-the-board de-escalation, I must also acknowledge the truth that's apparent to anyone paying attention: This is not an equal thing. This is not a case of…

Oh! And I forgot Anivia! She's maybe the one female character aside from Kayle before reveal that has a 'sex' but not a 'gender' if you get what I mean. But she's there!

I've read through a lot of your posts. I'm not going to argue that there ISN'T a female/feminism problem in video games or in LoL. I would, though, say that of everything that's out there, LoLs more recent releases in terms of characters seem less actually offensive. Actually, scratch recent, I'll point to Kayle! She…

Mass Effect. HOW has this image not careened into your head in some form or another. This guy in particular appears in the series' second iteration.

Nope, nope it didn't.

The researchers, from the University of Witten/Herdecke in Germany and Melbourne University in Australia, connect this to a human performing the actions of "an automaton-like avatar." In particular, Dr. Ulrich Weger, of Witten/Herdecke, says it indicates a "blurring of reality" that comes from virtual environments…

Again, how expensive is it for your AAA MMO to fade into the dust of obscurity because NO ONE can play it? A lot more expensive than some servers.

Question: How expensive is it to have your AAA MMO re-release completely fail because:

Please someone delete this. It's actually got negative worth. It might produce a singularity.

Opinion incoming: It seems to me like you are conflating Single Player Games and Multiplayer Games throughout this article. Like it's confusing to me which you are talking about and/or if you see no distinction and/or if you are just ignoring the distinction? 'F2P' as you have described it, a great way for a gamer to…

I literally have no idea what you are saying. I have assessed the society I live in...that's kinda my point? And what does my gender and race have to do with it? You sound like you have a "If you are a guy your opinion doesn't matter on gender issues and if you are white your opinion doesn't matter on race issues"…

I said it in a reply to someone else, but I'll say it again as a larger point:

I don't believe this is true at all. There will ALWAYS be creeps. They will ALWAYS gravitate towards these types of events. Simply that creeps exist does not mean there is a larger 'societal problem.' I think Men have been de facto 'in charge' for so long (it is really only in the last 100 years that this is…
