Shhhhhhhh, stop spreading truth!

Oh the internetz, full of people making stuff up like "if there's one thing Gamergate will always oppose, it's a woman stating her opinion." No matter how smart you think people of a community are then you read something like that.

It's amazing to witness how defensive the gaming media gets when their own hypocrisy if exposed like in that image Kotaku used to use.

Well we know why she didn't consider herself a gamer, because she attacks gamers as sexist pigs. No one wants to be the object of their own demonization!

Wow, she was basing video games as some social cause even back then? That's pretty enlightening. Thanks for posting the video. It sounds like she is trying to get her 15 minutes of fame.

If they are so upset about how women are treated in games, why are women and the games media attacking gamers as mysogynists. Whey not attack the game developers? How about the music video industry or attack the portrayal of women in movies? I would get behind all that too.

You said, "Sorry for liking games like GTA V or Skyrim, which depicted you in not the greatest light."

Arden, You said, "These people have allowed their identity to be SO completely threaded into this hobby that they feel any critical eye cast towards games is an attack on themselves. Can you imagine any other group of people who have allowed a consumer product to so dominate their identity?"

Wow, Anita is a bit extreme in her views. She is condemning all men because of a few bad apples? Is she really that spiteful to men? I thought feminism was meant to support women not tear down men and spread fear mongering and hate.

I don't watch the Colbert Report but I thought I would watch the clip you provided because I am interested in the GamerGate issue. I have to say, the clip was both enlightening and funny. It was fairly even handed and did actually show that Colbert knew the real reason that started GamerGate (questioning ethics in…

See, you just wrote a whole lot of respectful discourse. It wasn't insulting or condescending. That's entirely appropriate and facilitates useful and enjoyable conversation.

Is this the one about the Mexican immigrant that just went on a shooting spree killing three (including two deputies) in California? Hate to break it to you, but this video got it all wrong, they captured him alive.

Arnheim said, "engage with the more moderate elements of the movement has to be couched in diplomacy, rather than castigation. That may sound like wavering on my end, but more gets done when we try to reach out to the sane folks."

Barack Ebola said, "Let's be clear on one thing, thought: Gamergate was not "co-opted", it began as an attempt to recruit people to harass a woman for no legitimate reason. It started out rotten right from the beginning."

First I want to say I appreciate your response. You obviously do care and you aren't rushing to call me some caveman, homophobe, Tea Party, misogynist, or whatever the current attack name is. Thanks.

None that I know of, it was what you call and illustration or example to articulate what Flionheart was saying.

I think the Flionheart is right. He feels that for the situation and the context that interjecting conversation about the type of people they have sex with is more serving of a progressive agenda and less server of the particular plot or game. He's not calling out characters that are gay, just the artificial way…
