That's a really shoddy excuse for censorship on a massive commercial level.

Sometimes over a golf club....

Actually, there are two men who are either going to rape/bury/eat a woman and you get to inflict swift justice on them...

why is the violence towards women more important than the violence towards the men in this game. Feminists seriously suck, they unfairly chastize men and looove the attention of being a victim without having anything bad actually happen to them IE a fucking fictional video game with no real victims

A death threat is "I'm going to track you down and kill you". A death threat is trolling through someone's friend's list and threatening them. A death threat is finding out someone has children and threatening to harm them. I've seen a lot of threats on the internet towards people. Telling someone to go jump off a…

It's bullying, pure and simple. But calling it a "death threat" assigns a level of alarm to it that it frankly doesn't warrant, and minimizes actual death threats.

So Gamergate is about women in indie game development? This shit is getting more confusing by the second. I though it was about ethics in journalism.

Why twist this to mean anything other than what he said. He specifically said a "Small group of people" and last time I checked GamerGate was hardly small at this point. It seems to be obvious to me that he was condemning the people who are causing the continued harassment of women. Actually at this point I don't…

Kind of off topic-ish, but...

I'm sure he was talking about that "Gamergate" nonsense, but what he's describing is basically the Internet, every day, everywhere.

I don't blame you, I have no idea what it is at this point either.

Useless. "Harassment is bad, ok?" accomplishes nothing. GamerGate doesn't think it has a problem and won't think he's talking about it.

But GamerGate was originally started as an Anti-Kotaku thing.

No Yannick LeJacq. He was talking about the rampant harassment coming from both sides. But you know, clickbait.

Did you ever stop to think that he may have not said gamergame because he doesn't commit the fallacy of conflating harrasment and gamergate

Actually the whole "games are art" thing was pushed by journalist and reviewers who yearned to be taken "seriously". The gamers were too busy gaming.

Eh, it wasn't without flaws (a lot of flaws!), but Colbert hit some nice notes there. Anita was purely the foil in this situation. But it was a decent slot.

Here's Sarkeesian in 2010 saying she isn't a fan of video games. In her interview, she referred to herself and others like her as "lifelong gamers". She's just an opportunist
