Which is not related to “playing devil’s advocate” at all.

I’m no lawyer but I’m sure there are many that could argue that presence can be harassment, a common example being stalking. A stalker, in the simplest of terms, is merely being present where ever the person their stalking is also present. Also, the nature of intimidation is not that you have acted, but to imply that…

Exactly she called him out at the top to remove power. She effectively disarmed him, his entire gambit was predicated on her being ill at ease knowing they were there and trying to tread around it. The wall of cameras I’m sure was to catch her in some kind of equivocation, instead she turned the tables. She pointed…

“But my difficulty is by asking for examples, I have been labeled as some kind of MRA-prototype.”

I dunno, I kind of feel like one reason people harass others online is there’s the screen in front of you and a sort of feeling of anonymity to go with it. You’re protected by not having to say these horrible things to the person’s face and not having to really take responsibility for your actions. You can say/post…

Fuck off with tone policing.

Considering Benjamin and his pals not only said they were doing this and called their shot on Twitter (as per the polygon piece which had more info), their attendance was not in good faith.

What Anita said was barely harrassment. Harrassment is categorised by repetition and persistence.

Dude, nobody is handling Anita with kid gloves. She said some stuff, one person said it was wrong of her, the other one said that Anita verbally defending herself is fair and warranted in the context of the harassment she has to deal with. (Incidentally, being “calm and even-handed” doesn’t explicitly constitute…

But saying someone’s very presence in a room warrants the claim of harassment itself is to me a very dangerous idea with broad implications.

If you were trying to “educate yourself” you would have researched this before you started to spew out you bile of idiocy. You’re just playing the Devil’s Advocate so that you can continue to justify what has at this point basically turned into victim blaming.

People have doxxed her and sent her death threats because of asswipes like Sargon. Her calling Sargon an asshole does not even begin to put her on his level. It’s dickholes like you and the OP of this thread who keep insisting on playing the Devils Advocate and do nothing but wag their fingers at the victims for…

Do you realize he’s launched a full campaign to ruin her life right? Like, people have doxxed her and sent her death threats and he has essentially encouraged it. But nope, she calls him an asshole and she’s immediately in the wrong.

“He hit me”

I mean, I’m not ADVOCATING for her to lower herself to his level, but she’s throwing paper airplanes at a guy who’s been holding guns to her head for years. Her “moral high ground” has consisted of her being harassed online by MRAs and Gamergaters. It’s not the same, no matter how much you want it to be.

I think Donald may know a thing or two about not paying taxes.

The official VidCon response to the situations was a well rounded rational one.
