I feel so bad for Patricia - it always seems like she’s targeted, although I remember I think Grayson was also on a Breitbart article once.

Or they’re perceived to be something they’re not because a hate group who routinely misrepresents the positions of their opponents does this on the regular and has convinced thousands to drink the koolaid.

Parodies aren’t meant to actually fool people, though. This is more about inciting harassment.

Brave of you to self-identify as the kind of absolute moron who believes this type of poorly crafted idiocy. Bless your heart.

It’s parody, but it’s not really really funny.

Less mean spirited? Probably not. Borderline slander and thus illegal? Very probably.

Anti-SJWs: “Silly Tumblrinas are afraid to use facts and logic.”

None of the people buying into it have ever read her articles. Confirmation bias falls apart if you know anything about the people you don’t like.

It’s a non-issue, Supreme Ruler Trump will build a space wall around our orbital path, Interplanetary Feminazi’s stand no chance!! FINALLY, WHITE MEN WILL CATCH A BREAK AND HAVE THEIR DAY!!

They’re just mad because it’s hard to hold a controller and drag your knuckles at the same time.

...When does Kotaku do any such thing?

You’ve gotta wonder what goes on in the heads of zealots like this who can’t actually find real world evidence to back up their fragile world views.

YOU’RE WELCOME.

The only reason it’s ‘believable’ at all is because a cursory glance will tell you that Patricia does talk about women and how women relate to gaming. It’s just subtle bullying by people who *legitimately* think that only straight white dudebros have a place in gaming. They’re just sad that ‘their space’ is being…

Thank you for defending your writers, Stephen. Too few companies do anything about the online hate their employees can receive.

You sound like a highly educated and very reasonable person.

Meh, there’s no point. It’s a hobby of its own now. People just love latching onto causes and getting upset. Doesn’t matter what/why/who, if it’s real or makes sense. Shreier got death threats for reporting on a video game delay. This is the world we live in now. Gawker’s certainly no saint in perpetuating it, but it…

Jeez, that intro paragraph reads like a 12 year old’s essay written at 2AM the night before it was due in beginner’s English class. I feel like anyone who’s ever read an article by Patricia (and even those who haven’t) should be able to tell that something is wrong with this picture. Not even remotely close to her…

It’s ridiculous to think anything like this would show up on Kotaku. Obviously it would have been posted at Jezebel.

WOMEN SAYING TRUE THINGS ABOUT INEQUALITY SCARES ME AND FEELS LIKE OPPRESSION RELATIVE TO THE BENEFITS I RECEIVE FROM SAID INEQUALITY THEREFORE I WILL MAKE AS BIG OF AN ASS OF MYSELF AS POSSIBLE TO SHOW MY DISPLEASURE AND HOPEFULLY CAUSE SOME MEASURE OF EMOTIONAL DISCOMFORT TO THESE UPPITY WOMEN WHO DARE SPEAK TRUTH…
