QUOTE | “We call on the entire game community to stand together against this abhorrent behavior." - The International Game Developers Association's board commenting on the recent string of attacks on people in the industry like Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian.

It's not our place to comment on her personal life, and for the most part, the discussions (keyword here) I've seen have avoided that, because it's irrelevant. But when most major news sites (in relations to gaming news that is) go into complete lock-down and nuke any attempt at discussing the overall problem,…

Therein lies a bit of the problem. If it had been a female claiming sexual harassment, these sites would have "blown the fuck up"... but a male? There was literally zero coverage of it, or even the response to it.

Please show me where I said she "deserves" it. Please. Here's a hint, don't use quotes if the person you're quoting DIDN'T SAY WHAT YOU'RE MAKING IT LOOK LIKE THEY SAID. Learn to read, I never said she "deserves" it, I said she and Zoe aren't innocent, like they, and their followers, claim to be. And you know why?…

So Zoe and Anita got harassed, yeah, that's awful. But are we going to ignore the indie dev that claimed to be sexually harassed by Zoe herself, and then got threatened by Phil Fish and others into not only keeping quiet but APOLOGIZING for it? As if it was his fault he got harassed? Are we going to ignore the…

No surprise, Luke, we're all used to the spirit of inclusion of the social justice crowd ;)

No, "we" aren't, but continue hating yourself so Sarkeesian can continue making money.

I think it's important to let people speak their mind, man. Taking away people's words doesn't make anyone feel better.

The only thing America has to be ashamed for is having people who live in it who are so ignorant they think being an American is something to be ashamed of.

I remember the days pre-X360 when gaming was about us versus the rest of society who still refused to see it as anything but a child's toy and as a result there was little infighting. Since becoming mainstream since the late 2000s more and more people are joining as it becomes more and more accessible and now people…

Guess I missed all this. But I'm also now in the habit of skipping the obvious social commentary articles.

Wouldn't exactly call this my dream... If it could be jiggered up to ACTUALLY play PS1 games...

Why waste all that time and money putting the internals in place if it's not meant to actually power on and be used? Now I want one just to rip it apart and make it work.

Her question/thesis is not the problem. It's her evidence.

A video that shows one side is not a debate, but a debatable topic. They used to call this propaganda.

'Anyone who has ever had an opinion on anything ever' didn't get paid $160,000 as a journalist to state it. I expect something a little more comprehensive than what I read on tumblr every day.

What with violence against men? Why that is not a problem to anyone?

So what do they want? Both genders receive violence in video games. It's not exclusive to any gender.

Not a fan of Sarkeesian. I just take issue with the fact that she entered this with an axe to grind and thus is only going to pick evidence that supports her agenda. I think it gets in the way of a meaningful dialogue, after all, it's important to acknowledge when things are being done right as well as wrong, and that…

The people getting mad and/or surprised at Joss Whedon aligning himself with feminism have been endlessly amusing to me.
