Why am I not surprised that *someone* made an upskirt shot. Jesus, people. Get a grip.

Most of us will never find that thing that makes the money. Several of us are not even particularly good at anything. I'm one of those people. I have and have had assorted jobs. I've always worked, but no, I haven't found my calling that brought me great financial security. I live paycheck to paycheck. That is how…

It's all well and good to say you want to give women an even playing field to compete on, but you obviously don't understand how that's actually accomplished. The bias against women is internalized prejudice held by a significant portion of the movie industry. When prejudice is internalized as opposed to institutional…

I'm so worried about the Wonder Woman movie. If it's terrible, it may be many years until we see another female superhero film.

Michelle MacLaren! She does great action, I would be on board for that. Time to step it up, though, Marvel. Obligatory WHERE IS MY BLACK WIDOW MOVIE?

What you're experiencing is often referred to as a "Heteronormative" outlook. This is "denoting or relating to a world view that promotes heterosexuality as the normal or preferred sexual orientation". The idea that heterosexuality, even though it is far more common than homo or bisexuality is more "normal" than other…

Why do you care what Anita says? All she does is produce YouTube videos. The only reason she had any power at all is because her opponents give her power. They transformed her from an obscure YouTube critic into a new York Times headline and a rolling stone interviewee. Do you honestly believe that she would be…

"Instead of an NPC cracking a joke, they point out that their gay/bi or whatever, which just makes it feel like you're being preached at."

GamerGate is no more about journalistic ethics than the Civil War was about states' rights.

To be honest, I think Kotaku has been handling this issue very well. You guys have had many open discussions, introduce ideas for change, and, as far as I know, haven't been swinging the ban hammer at everyone who states the contrary. Heck, there is a reason that I visit this site each day, other than the fact that it…

That's because what you said is pretty homophobic.

Nobody is stating that YOU'RE that bad. What everyone keeps trying to point out is that this whole thing started out with the harassment of these women, and if everyone keeps rallying under that name, the movement will be forever linked to that.

And if it was actually about ethics in video game journalism, it would have started a long time before Zoe Quinn made an indie game for a novel concept.

That depends on you and how you craft and mold your message. It depends on how well you control it, how you identify yourself, how you and your cohorts behave. Frankly, "the media" doesn't give two shits about gaming journalism, I'll tell you that right now. I mean this isn't going to hit the NYTimes because…

Unhitch your cause, whatever it is, from #GamerGate. Its moved well beyond the point of redemption. Find another name, find another fight, find another way of expressing what you want ("ethics in journalism" or whatever— good luck with that) #GamerGate is done.

All it takes is one unhinged person to kill someone. That her home address was published makes it materially easier for that to happen, which was the intent of publishing it — to terrorize women into keeping silent through threats of violence towards them. "We know where you live," it says. Can you tell the…

I've been saying this for a while now.

I grew up in a time when being a "gamer" was cause for ridicule. Shit, admitting to owning a Nintendo in the mid-80's was a good way to get your ass kicked at my school (not at all schools, I understand).

Now that gaming's finally mainstreamed, and the hobby has -finally- gained…

What strikes me about the doxxing comment I saw was that it was posted as a weird, fucked up way of reassuring Felicia Day—their assertion was that the info was easy to find, so all her fears were silly. And it's just such ridiculous logic. Here's someone being vulnerable, and that's how you respond?

What actually does Gamergate want? That is to say why did they come together in the first place?
