Yeah, it's missing a "Addresses victim, blames them" tile.

I hate everything that they do, but I don't really take GamerGate's death/violence threats terribly seriously. They're a giant gang of internet tough guys: they'll talk trash and hack your records, but they're utterly terrified of meeting people in the flesh (hence their over-the-top response to being doxxed…

Yeah, I'm starting to think that the idea of reforming gaming ethics (which is a thing, needs to be done, and is totally unrelated to GamerGate's actual goals) has been scotched for at least a year. Every attempt will draw these assholes.

You know, we don't need to doxx you guys to know you're a bunch of assholes with tiny dicks.

*rolls eyes* Everybody wants a pass to the victimhood club. Just because I got swirlies in high school doesn't mean I know what it's like to get tailed every time I walk in a department store (well, except that one time in a Barneys).

I've gamed since we were in floppy disks, and I've never attempted to engage the online gaming community for those exact reasons: it's either 14-year olds screaming the new racial slurs they just learned, or their adult analogues. I content myself with making them explode in World of Tanks.

Right, "Gaming is not a crime" and no-one ever said it was. We just prefer that the people playing games hit a maturity level above that of the 14-year old screaming the N-word into my head-mic.

Only if they have a really bad case, or are a bad lawyer. Lawyers generally play up the dramatics only when they have no real case law or facts on their side.

Sadly, no. Absent a constitutional amendment or a subsequent court decision (not ruddy likely), it's final.

I think it's difficult to overpower someone with statistics no matter what.

Yeah, a lot of people tend to ignore the people persecuted in the Holocaust that are politically or ideologically inconvenient.

I mean, I hate to agree with him but he's right. Blood Meridian is basically a Quentin Tarantino movie if you cut out most of the dialogue and had all the characters overdosing on bull testosterone.

"In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially entertaining."

Honestly, his module could have two circles next to each other, one containing his public statements and the other what he actually pulled in his private life.

To be fair, we don't talk about Jefferson because we don't want to confuse the kids with the enormous differences between what he said people should do and what he personally did.

You have to have recognized though, as you wrote that, how central "if" "probably" and "almost certainly" are to your argument. It's possible these men are guilty. It's also possible that a particularly cruel prank is going down, and none of them are guilty.

Since for all we know every guy on this list is the victim of a particularly cruel prank, for your lack of empathy, disregard of due process, and generally embodying the image of feminists that many of us try to dispel in the public's mind every day, I'd like to extend my heartiest and most sincere Fuck You.

Ok, but there seems to be a rather disconcerting thought thread around here that basically dismisses the collateral damage of this list for some nebulous good it might do. For instance, when you said that you're ok with women avoiding these guys if it prevents a rape. If empathy is the name of the game here, I might…

I just accused my cubicle-mate of raping me. According to your logic, there is a 98% likelihood that she did.

That you dismiss the idea that one or more of these guys are innocent and think that having his/their reputation thrown in the shitter (and since this is the age of the internet, probably permanently) is acceptable collateral damage is beyond fucked up.
