A few points.
I) GamerGate has never tried to shut the other Sid up. We have literally offered to donate $10k to charity if Anita Sarkeesian will debate one of our louder voices at a convention. GamerGate is all about opening dialogue. Antigg hate it. They have employed endless methods of censorship. Block bots, false harassment…
What amuses me is that your condescending attitude is entirely unwarranted. Because your only real knowledge of GamerGate is from the sources they allege are corrupt. Doesn't that make you the somewhat poorly positioned to comment on the whole thing?
The bomb threat didn't send itself, my social justice crusader.
There's zero credible evidence there was a threat? One of the threats are included in the fucking article.
Yet when this is said about Anita Sarkeesian and her lunatics, it’s ‘disgusting’, ‘horrific’, etc. You people and your double standards. How can anyone take you seriously?
I’m not as au fait with social justice parlance as I once was, but I think this is called ‘victim blaming’.
So... Basically the same stance anti feminists take regarding Anita Sarkeesian, and who were roundly attacked for it by this very website? Cool.
It pains me that I need to drag myself to this cesspit, but since Jason Schreier is very unlikely to issue the correction that is absolutely required, I’m just going to have to clarify it here.
I READ IT ON KOTAKU.
Kotaku exposed for its shoddy journalism, and lack of rigour in favour of a good old piece of clickbait.
Funnily enough, my female friends would much rather speak for themselves. Unfortunately they have raving third wave feminist shrilling in their faces. Stop it, please. We'd all be much better off.
I wasn't getting angry, it's strange you'd think so. Perhaps you're oversensitive. Anyway, I'm done with Kotaku. I won't be back on this site of hackery and corruption.
Activism isn't really an opinion. It's a movement. A concerted effort. One piece advocating a cause is fine, as long as robust criticism is allowed, and encouraged. But it's endless pieces, with no follow ups, and no alternative points of view; a big blob monster screeching 'the one true way'.
"No preconceived notions. Please, you're looking for debate on the other side. Give me a few examples of what the other side would look like."
"What makes you feel like there is a danger that all or even most games will cease to cater to the white, straight, male demographic, as they always have? "
I really do appreciate that. Genuinely. A lot of people - and I'm sorry to say, but I'm going to - especially people on your side, are simply not willing to do so.
"Perhaps no professional game journalists are of the opinion that women shouldn't have equal representation in video games."
This is getting a bit ridiculous. Who disagrees with that? In fact I'll ask:
