There is not a bag of dicks big enough for these assholes to eat.

Just a general rule to live by: If you find yourself being endorsed by/your views being shared by neo-nazis, you need to reevaluate your life choices.

I’m constantly disgusted that this cancer has made its way into an industry I care so much about.

There is absolutely no reason a single person should be singled out like this. It’s disgusting.

And then there’s the general issue of whether changes during localization are automatically “censorship” at all. I remember reading about anime translation (fansubs, dubbing, etc), and the translators talked about the various ways to localize cultural in-jokes & similar things - you can do it literally, so that you…

FWIW I’ve always gotten a kick out of GamerGators accusing other people of being pedophiles, since one of their main hangouts, 8chan, is a notorious child porn hub, even being de-listed from Google search results because of it.

What Nintendo is doing is not censorship. It’s content curation that they’re entitled to do on THEIR product. They’re not curtailing anyone’s speech.

Really disappointed to see the amount of people writing this article off because it’s “giving a platform” to idiots versus spot-lighting an important issue that is hurting a lot of people - predominantly women. Please continue talking about these things, Patrick. It’s really important. Ignoring the problem won’t make…

GamerGate still is a very real thing when people still actively use the tag and stomping grounds to harass women like Alison. It’s still not over for the people who are being harassed by them.

“Gamergate may be well over”

I dislike most of the censorship, but making someone’s life a living hell over it isn’t just cool. Fight it the other way, but don’t destroy someone’s life over something like censorship.

Hey gamergate dickheads. Your “cause” is stupid as hell, you are the the video game tea party. We all hate you, you are aren’t “true gamers” or “” culture warriors “, you are simple minded pricks and you are making our hobby shitty just by your existence. Go fuck yourselves.

Nothing says tedious like “video game culture war”

Patrick, this is a great article. I was watching this thing unfold from NeoGAF and had no idea what was happening or why. I heard about the infamous college paper, but felt that since it was on her LinkedIn, it was more of a nonsequitor.

“I’ve been a counter trafficking survivor advocate since 2009. No one is interested in doing press about that for years, but suddenly Gamergate and anti Gamergate insert me into their dispute and the media wants to talk. All that does is break my heart. I want nothing to do with either side, and I find this entire…

GamerGate is gross.

I once had the brilliant idea to try on a new dress (which actually ended up fitting really well) by pulling the whole thing down over my head because I was alone and I was going to have trouble zipping it up if I did it the logical way (yeah, I dunno, it made sense at the time). I had trouble getting the waist over…

I got trapped in a sports bra in a dressing room last week. MY GOD THE PANIC! I was eventually able to calm myself and gently struggle my way out.

Oh yeah, definitely the tub thing. My last apartment’s bathroom was small and weirdly shaped and 90% counter and I was positive it would kill me one day.

Yes! I also regularly think about this getting in and out of the tub. I’m just glad I don’t have any animals that would eat me.
