Not actually what I said, but okay. Enjoy your victory over that straw man, buddy.

Oh, look. Totally baseless, ad-hominem assertions. Truly, an impressive argument. About what I'd expect from Jezebel's denizens.

Kudos.

So you say. She artificially inserted herself into the controversy—it had nothing to do with her. She didn't start getting flak for "critiquing games." Perhaps you're confusing whom you're talking about. The mob of super-hostile Internet trolls is a known factor—just like lightning in a storm is a known factor, and…

Completely—and predictably—substance-free response. Kudos.

That's true, but has absolutely no bearing on anything that I said. There is plenty of legitimate criticisms of games—and every "GamerGater" I've ever spoken to has fully conceded that there are numerous problems with games—especially the big title games, the star of which is usually a single archetype (scruffy…

About the level of discourse I'd expect from Jezebel. Kudos.

By all means, point to where I ever stated, or even implied, that anybody "deserves harassment and threats."

Wu didn't create the mental illness this man suffers from—but neither did GamerGate. The only thing Wu did was make herself a target for it. Does that mean she has no right to speak her mind on any issue she…

What invisible audience do you think you're fooling? Look, you made an indefensible, moronic statement. Period. No subsequent rant has any impact on it. You implicitly stated that "Gamergate folks" need to "self-police" the mental illness out of this guy, and could be held responsible for it if they don't. You…

You made a delusional, evidence-free statement that "Gamergate folks" should do some "self-policing" regarding this obviously mentally ill man. Being "publicly disavowed" by "movement leaders" doesn't magically erase mental illness, my staggeringly ignorant friend.

Oh, wait. I'm supposed to have read subsequent…

Yes, Sarkeesian is a target for a lot of unfair and patently misogynist treatment. I don't see anybody denying that, and I've never seen any prominent voices rationalizing the vitriol that Sarkeesian (or Wu, or Quinn, etc) have been subjected to.

You said: "Video games where players molest strippers and run them over with their cars." One can only presume you're talking about games like Grand Theft Auto, though I'd argue that your characterization is faulty.

Games like GTA do not, in fact, guide the player to "molest strippers and run them over," but instead…

Who ever said anything about "stopping" someone from having an opinion? Criticism is naturally subject to further criticism from other parties.

I can't speak for an entire group any more than you can, but I can tell you that virtually every so-called "GamerGater" I've ever or spoken to has been fully willing to concede…

What "policing" do you think "Gamergate folks" could do to stop someone obviously mentally ill? Vigilante force-feeding of medication? No, no, those "idiot GG folks" should absolutely .. uhh.. not be civilly liable for.. uhh.. Nothing?

Did any critical thought whatsoever go into writing that? Cringe-worthy. Wow.

Nice edit. You still come across as anything but an "adult." Kudos on the cognitive dissonance.

Where exactly is anyone "encouraging threatening of lives"? Pointing out that your assertion that "GamerGate" (or "Man Children") "focused attention" on Brianna Wu, randomly, is false—doesn't constitute a "encouraging…

The only one who needs to "grow up" here is you. Who is "endangering lives," exactly? What you're making, essentially, is an argument against discussion, against criticism, etc. If Brianna Wu wants to stand up on a public platform, and invite discourse, you have no arbitrary right to deny her.

Spoiler Alert: Swearing…

They're called sandbox games specifically because you can do anything you want. If you want to stack up cars and watch a series of cascading explosions, fine. If you want to drive 200 miles an hour down a highway and fly off a cliff, fine. If you want to shoot up a rival gang, fine.

(Duplicate)

The only person who has "focused attention" on Brianna Wu is Brianna Wu.

There have been constant "discussions" about violence in video games. Spoiler Alert: The result of that discussion was that there's absolutely no causal relationship between exposure to violence in media and acting out violence in real life, and contrary to what you see in hyperbolic clickbait articles on Gawker et.…

You can see 4k pictures, you just won't be able to see the entire thing (when displayed at 1:1 ratio). Viewed at 1:1 ratio, a 1080p screen can only show 1/4th of a 4k picture.
