It's adorable that you think it's possible for something *you* say to go over anyone's head.

Wait, wait...you're saying that death threats to developers are common enough that you personally consider it part and parcel of being in the video game industry, *and* that calling gamers assholes is somehow wrong? And you don't see the inherent problem with this?

Yes, media should be ignoring the violent death threats that you so cavalierly discuss as old news, and focusing on your niche interests instead. If it doesn't affect you it couldn't possibly matter, amirite?

That you can shrug and say "both sides are equally at fault" about feminist critics and people who post rape and death threats specific enough to drive women from their homes is fairly ridiculous.

Your deeply, deeply unjustified victim complex is truly impressive.

He works for Deadspin. You can tell, because he posted an article on Deadspin.

Your defense of slut-shaming couldn't have been dreamed up by the most gifted satirist.

People are emotionally involved when a person is harassed and threatened from her home because of her views on fucking video games? Yeah, funny how that happens.

"Faux outrage" is the lamest fucking buzzword. The outrage in this case in particular is incredibly real. If people didn't show that outrage in the past, then it's a good thing that's being corrected.

Aaand, right on cue...

"This is a horrific act of violence. What aspect of it do I find most worthy of comment? I know - the beaten woman's decisions were bad!" - you, apparently.

A million go fuck yourselfs.

Considering all the people that defended him with "well, he may have just been defending himself! We don't know what really happened!"? Yes. It was necessary.

You're patting yourself on the back for taking moral lessons from Dragon Ball Z as a grown adult while criticizing the taste of children for their immaturity, and genuinely don't see how silly that is. Amazing.

No offense, but there's no material difference in maturity between this stuff and having Goku as a hero. It's all just style preferences.
