This brings to mind the NPR story I heard on my way to work a few months back about research into bias and stereotyping. Before I get to that though, some thoughts on your article: I'm uncomfortable with the idea that any person who happens to be white who does something seen to be anti-racist or holds an opinion seen…

Not sure the person ever asked for a prize?

Not sure how DA: Inquisition didn't make this list.

Wut? Yes. We do. We always will.

Point.

There are some things that scar the memory of civilzation permanently. What the nazis came so close to achieving was so thoroughly evil, and so thoroughly possible, that society has placed all of their symbolism and rhetoric and methods on a plane apart. We hate them so much because of how close we came and still come…

And remember, Japan were allies with Ger- no I'm sorry. I couldn't do it with a straight face. They are the NAZIS. Their name is literally a synonym for evil totalitarianism. Globally. This isn't a 'regional' thing.

Its not just the location. The color scheme is exactly. The same. Exactly. If we were in a movie, I'd say, "Oh, these guys are supposed to be like space/alien/underground/soup/pop band nazi people, I see. " And I'd be right, because the Director intended that, because it looks ALMOST EXACTLY IDENTICAL.

Hate? First gen? Whaaaaaa? I don't...I just can't even....*dies*

Actually, in one game save, each legendary only has one iteration, while other wild pokemon are infinite. In order to get the percentage of pokemon in your game save that are legendary, one must divide the one by the other. Any finite number divided by infinity is zero (or approaches zero if we are getting fancy with…

Just a thought: since when has the internet needed an excuse to harass people? Doesn't track. When internet crazies want to harass people they just go ahead and do it. Theres simply zero logic or evidence behind the assertion that its all a conspiratorial cover to 'get away with' harassment. I mean, what does getting…

Sorry, what lie about Zoe Quinn was being spread? I'm not sure what you're referring to there. I don't think i've ever heard anyone contend that Zoe Quinn didn't have a relationship with a gaming journalist that reviewed her game. I've only seen people claim that information is only brought up for sexist reasons. I…

Please, show me your actual proof of that. Because it really didn't.

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…
