Your case doesn't fly. The "good" have no onus of presenting their case, and indeed, even if they did, it would be largely ignored. To whit: in the grand scheme of things, for the gamer community, which would you say has a bigger, overall effect on the real world a) the gamers who created and support things like…

Didn't you get the memo? Gamers don't exist anymore, they are a non-thing. All of this is just a figment of your imagination.

But for realsies, no, the vocal assholes don't control the public perception of Gamergate, for good or for ill, it is the people who are reporting on it who do...

See, this is the thing: humans…

Does...does that slab of chiseled man-flesh have pi tattooed on his neck?

Someone is gettin' hella bent out of shape about a thumb nail drawing on a piece of concept art. If you clutch those pearls any harder, you are gonna be left with a handful of dust. DID YOU SEE SHE ALSO DID A CLOSE UP OF THE TIES OF THE DRESS! OH THE HUMANITY! MY POOR VIRGIN EYES!

I'm totally digging the game. I'm gettin' real tired of the moaning of, "Why can't everything be like it was through my nostalgia lenses?!"

Seems like an issue with you. Never had a problem with traps, because I was careful, and if you aren't careful, you pay the price. Being sloppy is a problem with the player, not the game, especially when there are multiple tutorials saying, "Hey, this is a thing, you should probably pay attention."

Also, I don't…

He probably feels hopeless. Cut him some slack, unless you happen to be perfect and immune to emotional distress.

I notice the difference in reaction to this and to when Wu got threatened...hmmm...makes me wonder...

Caring about social issues aren't making games better. If that were true, there'd be a SJW themed AAA title in the works right now that everyone would be raving about...but there's not, and the likelihood of there being one is is in the slim to none range. This is because social issues don't make for "good" games. …

Jackie! Is that you?! #IMissTheDarkness

Wait, wait, you are telling me that if you wanted to make two different gender models, it would take time an effort to do so, not just a couple days work? Obviously you don't work for Naughty Dog, because apparently it's super easy and takes no effort! /sarcasm over AC: Unity

Even that is a small number compared to the totality of wars. It's a common misconception.

You realize that only a small handful of wars were actually caused by religion, right? I mean, in the grand scheme of all the wars that humanity has had, we're talking less than half a dozen that were directly caused by religion. Even the Crusades weren't really CAUSED by religion, religion was merely the backdrop. …

Thousands online rally to stop Gamergate; many thousands more don't care.

Thanks to all those out there that make the gaming hobby increasingly unbearable!

Wait, wait, let's all get outraged because there are no PoC! RAWR! LOOK, I'M THE INTERNET! Oh, man...MedievalPoC cracks me up.

There is so much irony in your post I had to get a tetanus shot.

If you have armor, yeah, it kinda is. Ideally you won't get hit, but in practical terms, you will. That's why a body dodge is generally combined with a block/parry, because the idea is that if you DO get hit, the damage is not as great.

I've killed so many orcs in this game, even Drizzt gave me a side-eye.

Well, the other big thing is that the attacks in games don't follow reality, so the defenses in games don't follow reality. I mean, small movements to dodge are great (watch good boxers slip punches, it's pretty amazing), but you aren't fighting one on one with swords or fists, you are fighting 30 foot tall fire…
