A mouse may bite back when cornered, but that doesn't make it the predator.

You say it's about 'blatant misuse and misunderstanding of the issue', but the vast majority of GamerGate proponents who respond to me say it's the collusion between journalists and developers, about journalistic integrity and ethics. But it all began with Zoe Quinn and Kotaku (and some other unnamed journalists…

I've yet to see any "extreme" feminism on display throughout all this. Wanting to have women play a greater role in the gaming industry and to have more women playing a larger range of roles in games is hardly extreme. The most extreme I've seen of feminism is the desire to reduce the "boys' club" mentality that…

The problem is that anti-man sentiment is far outnumbered by misogyny. When you look at facts about women's pay equality, women's representation in media, women's objectification, the fact that a few angry feminists might hate men on twitter doesn't even begin to level the scales. I think a majority of gamers are…

"Modern feminism and its brand of extremism is not something people should stick up for anyway."

Wow. How spectacularly naive and ignorant of the world do you have to be to think that a person's gender doesn't incite some people to hatred and violence? Is this kid new to our planet or something?

The men I've read about being targeted were frequently labeled as "social justice warriors" and were also often identified as being in support of feminism. It is an anti-feminist movement more than it is anything else. Split hairs for yourself all you want, I've read and seen enough of it to know what it is.

Right I suppose it's like anything else, women are allowed to be involved if it's a male-approved capacity in the gaming world. Women who want to comment on inequality though, look out.

it was still started by "those morons." Anyone actually concerned should drop GG and go do whatever activism for integrity under a new banner. And then they should probably check out that Shadows of Mordor Payola thing instead of trying to hang a bunch of random indies who mostly happen to be female out to dry.

Breitbart may have come around after this thing had been going on for a couple weeks, but the fact the whole thing was being planned and directed from a chatroom by people who would drop the word "feminazi" without any hint of irony might have been what attracted them in the first place.

I just have a hard time dropping the notion that they really only care because it's a female developer. Part of it might simply be that because it's a one person indie dev, it's easier to put a face on who's to blame, but we hate big corporations all the time. I don't see anyone still railing against Eidos or…

Pffft!. They have their facts...

Just sounds like conflating Anita with Zoe at this point. No doubt there's someone upset that women are involved with video games, but I'm not seeing why Depression Quest was the catalyst to rail against feminism in games.

She thinks it's directly linked to her commentary on harassment within the GG movement, and that it was noted in a chat room before she was threatened. All things considered, she's probably right. I doubt people would target her simply because she's a female dev... These assholes are fine unless a woman dares have a…

I don't think you really understand the situation here. People have always been wary about the gaming journalism industry first of all, and the doxxing is what really set off the whole GG thing. Now it's become a rat's next of doxxing and false flags from a bunch of idiots trying to cash in or just giggle at the drama.

Right, if you want an example that gamergate is nothing more than misogynist propoganda, look no further than Christina Hoff Sommer's infuriating video, defending "gamers" and attacking women. When a right wing think tank takes your side, it's time to rethink your entire fucking life.

The moment that video was posted,…

Considering how many times he mentioned feminism in his tweets, yeah. I'm saying he went batshit like that because she "has a vagina," as you so classily put it.

Fuck gaters.

Baldwin's a Twitchy twit, his comments on GG have mostly been supporting it. His usage wasn't intended as negative towards the people harassing Quinn.
