Argonaut all men.

That is not how the carbon tax works. You won't be paying more taxes. The carbon tax is net neutral in taxation. What it does is moves taxation from the principal of earning to the principal of consumption. Aka, you get rid of parts of the income tax and replace it with the carbon tax.

If that is what you want, go read another website.

Here at Deadspin we generally assume that our readers are at least somewhat intelligent people. A lot of other sites dumb down content or write for an audience of morons: we don't do that. But because we've gotten at least one dumbass e-mail, and some dumbass comments and tweets, I'm going to explain why what Ed…

Are you invoking not believing global warming exists in an attempt to SUPPORT your position?

That looks hilariously terrible.

your definition of lofty standards is what some might call a low fucking bar to hop over. Game development is hard. Making games that respect female characters isn't.

"Excuse me waiter, this food you've brought me is rotten." "Open your own restaurant!"

Who wants to read some internal emails that make the NCAA look incompetent, reactionary, and completely unable to justify its own authority?

I don't know what kind of meds you had to take to remain civil while talking to some of these savages but I'd really like some.

In the interview, one of the women point out that the issues regarding ethics in gaming journalism (just like many other industries) had been raised a couple of years ago but boiled over with Zoe Quinn.

These people want to have their cake and eat it too in almost every conceivable way.
They want games to be considered art, but they don't want to have to have games be critically analyzed in any way that makes them uncomfortable.
They want to be viewed as a huge powerhouse of a consumer base that cannot be ignored, but…

Empress, you are so much better than these feebs you're arguing with, it's stunning. You have more grit than I do. Hats off to you.

Haha, thanks. Much appreciated!

If you're sincerely trying to argue that, for instance, Kratos was designed primarily with a female audience in mind, then I really don't know what to tell you.

I'm just gonna address this first:
Plenty of men in gaming are heavily designed to be sexual sex gods or extremely attractive.

Gamers: "We want games to be considered Art!"

And that's why people continue to dwell on Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian and Brianna Wu? None of the Gamergate stuff has remotely been about how AAA publishers interact with media outlets. The ethics claim is a fig leaf for 'aggrieved' gamers having an existential crisis.

There was no 'GamerGate', there was no movement, there was not a huge outcry.
