Actually, I have nothing but love for the first Abrams Trek— I found it to be a fun and inventive way of doing a "reboot." Really, the only misfire design-wise was turning Engineering into a frakkin' brewery.

Islam is a religion. ISIS is a terrorist group. GamersGate is a disorganized movement. They are not at all the same.

If you still ally yourself with GamerGate at this point, the problem is you. You are the problem.

He/she's using it correctly actually, but nice try.

meet the contrarian, same as the old contrarian, until it becomes...wait...

Why do you care what Anita says? All she does is produce YouTube videos. The only reason she had any power at all is because her opponents give her power. They transformed her from an obscure YouTube critic into a new York Times headline and a rolling stone interviewee. Do you honestly believe that she would be…

And that's why people continue to dwell on Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian and Brianna Wu? None of the Gamergate stuff has remotely been about how AAA publishers interact with media outlets. The ethics claim is a fig leaf for 'aggrieved' gamers having an existential crisis.

Nobody is stating that YOU'RE that bad. What everyone keeps trying to point out is that this whole thing started out with the harassment of these women, and if everyone keeps rallying under that name, the movement will be forever linked to that.

There was no 'GamerGate', there was no movement, there was not a huge outcry.

And if it was actually about ethics in video game journalism, it would have started a long time before Zoe Quinn made an indie game for a novel concept.

I've been saying this for a while now.

I grew up in a time when being a "gamer" was cause for ridicule. Shit, admitting to owning a Nintendo in the mid-80's was a good way to get your ass kicked at my school (not at all schools, I understand).

Now that gaming's finally mainstreamed, and the hobby has -finally- gained…

No. I'm a Texan. We keep Texas. We can kick the neocons out.

So would you also condemn a critic writing about how messed up the Holocaust was without mentioning Vietnam?

Which writer was caught?
Also a reviewer doesn't have to label anything "an opinion piece", if it is a review it is already an opinion.

Yes. Its pretty clearly become that. The big names of the movement are right wingers, and the "femnazis" that they fight against are "liberals."

feminazi stole your ice cream, huh?

I'm confused already, who is "we"?

Sadly I fear that the Tea Party of gaming will be around for the long haul.

Why are you continuing to pretend that this is a legitimate movement? The sooner you start ignoring them, the sooner they'll all go away.
