A coworker of mine got “Merry Christmas” on her cup this morning and posted it to Facebook. It’s the dumbest shit to get riled up over. And yeah, you are just giving your money to Starbucks in “protest” of their fucking cups.

The cognitive dissonance is basically bouncing off the walls here....

Remember kids: Black Lives Matter is a bunch of whiners who are looking for reasons to be offended. The real oppression is a lack of Christmas iconography on your coffee cups.

I don’t know. They may have a point. Those cups don’t look anything like the ones Jesus drank his Gingerbread Lattes out of.

The ESA’s survey also included some indication as to how gamers might vote. 48 percent of gamers self-identified as conservative, compared to 38 percent who considered themselves liberal. The remaining 14 percent were grouped under an “other” category. However, they were more balanced when asked about party…

No it wasn’t. In fact Commander Shepard was initially intended as female.

Then you chose poorly.

You’re either a male Shepard or a female Shepard. How is that difficult to understand?

and mine was female despite pr only showing off male for merchandise during 1 & 2, sooo get over it?

It doesn’t matter about what she has done, what matters is what Gamergate did to her based on zero evidence that she did anything wrong to begin with.

You do realize what Gamergate was right? It was thousands of sexist assholes that doxxed her, sent her death threats, and made her life a living hell all because her asshole ex-boyfriend posted libel about her. Go fuck yourself.

Except Gamergate as a movement started as a cause to harass Zoe Quinn because of the sad sack child of a boyfriend she dumped.

Nothing that I could see that she has done warrented any of the massive harassment she received. Breakups get nasty, but that’s no one’s business but their own.

Yay for ethics in journalism, fuck GamerGate, fuck online harassment, and fuck their supporters.

It’s utterly amazing.

I don’t get this view.

Problems with your logic:

...the other, GamerGate-leaning panel focused on ethics and politics. Both return, though SXSW will work with them to “to develop the most productive focus for their appearances.”

GamerGate doesn’t want a panel. They know fucking well they have no excuse for what they do.
