The only valid complaint here is the Christina Hoff Sommers one.

I agree with everything you've said in this comment. I was responding to your replies to Totilo, where it does seem to me that you want an SPJ-style standard for all of games journalism. That's not realistic, but now that I've read the rest of your original reply to me, it's clear that that's not what you want. And I…

Sure. But if you make a very obvious lecture and then are shocked that people thought it was a lecture and not an argument, then there is a problem in your presentation.

Thank you.

If you honestly think that creating a standard guideline for an industry with hundreds of separate entities who have no need to be beholden to such a guideline is easy, then you need more experience being in a group of more than two people. A specific site, giving a guideline specific to that site? Sure, that's easy.…

You are right! They are two bomb threats; I hadn't read much further than the locations. Now, please tell me where in these articles they say gamergate or their opponents are in any way related. I've read both in their entirety, and it looks like it's entirely invented by a brat with a martyrdom complex. Especially…

Oh no. A bomb threat with no evidence of being linked to this at all.

I agree with 100% of what you just said. I did not ever intend to paint it as anything less than fucking reprehensible. I still think that it is less extreme and worrisome than a lot of the shit Gamergaters do.

HAVE A NICE NIGHT! RESPECT MY US TIME AUTHORITAH!

Well, shit. If you hadn't ended that with a paragraph of pure, utter bullshit, I'd take you at your word and have a whole lot of sympathy. As is... give me evidence. Give me police evidence coming from your reports, like the women you hate have done. Give me pictures. Give me a slight scrap of evidence. Because at…

The very first post. Where you go on about the indisputably retarded bullshit the USA does, ignoring the indisputably retarded bullshit most EU countries do.

It's already gotten people killed. It is not a joke. At all. It is only negligible in comparison to telling someone you are going to rape and murder them, and then explicitly informing them that you have all the information you need to go through with it.

I, TOO, AM DRUNK! DRUNK BUDDIES!

Oh yeah, you have a better criminal justice system than we do. So does hell.

Awfully strange wishes, given that he chose to put it on steam in the first place.

I only read the first two sentences of the first paragraph and all of the second. You seem to be judging social circumstances by pure logic, with no regard to emotion, psychology, or basic humanity. Sociopath is, most likely, an incorrect term. Sociopathy typically indicates poor education and an inability to…

I'd say Kratos has had his moment of sympathy. I went through the phase of feeling sympathy for Kratos, I hit the climax of God of War II, and from there it's been him literally annihilating mankind for revenge, an awful reason.

I stopped reading at "The primary difference (morally) being that the threatened generally maintains control over whether the rape or murder happen and could choose to not go through with it at anytime". I do not have the training to argue social situations with sociopaths.

Swatting is an incredibly douchey prank. Rape and death threats are a crime that should be much more serious than they already are. Presenting the two as though they are remotely comparable does nothing except make the presenter look like a massive sack of shit.

The original plan was for future God of War games to have Kratos vs. Norse and Egyptian pantheons. Honestly, the best scenario would be a brand new, less shitty hero for these pantheons, but I'd rather have Kratos again than an ethnic reskin of Kratos.
