Sorry, but how would you have done that? The Soviet Union collapsed, but Russia never surrendered to anyone. I doubt that even in their most weakened state they would have played along. 

The disparity between how the media has reported on Ukraine’s defense, in comparison to coverage of Arab resistance efforts like the Palestinian people’s desperate attempts to stave off Israel’s apartheid state, has also been a major conversation outside gaming.

My God dude, is it THAT difficult to refrain from your political stance for a month or so?

Holy crap, can you please not feed into the whataboutism? At least not yet?

"This is easily proven false if you're actually interested in the facts of the situation"

What about when Adria Richards doxxed two random men at a tech conference for making a joke in private that she didn't find tasteful?

For one, we don't even know if the reviewers are playing a review copy they received from the publisher. That would be a good place to start.

Thank you. It's good to find someone else who doesn't buy into the notion that your ethics are determined by which "group" you belong to instead of how you treat people.

and if everyone keeps rallying under that name, the movement will be forever linked to that

So this stuff is only worth condemning when it's performed by people outside the control of progressive activism? Keep in mind that the go-to response for progressives is to Doxx political dissent and attempt to get them fired in order to silence them.

I don't agree with the misogynistic attacks.

You really don't see the irony, do you?

How do you know who the majority of Gamergate is?

I feel sorry for my friends who are into the whole ethics thing. I don't necessarily agree with that position, but I've seen some who are pretty discouraged. They want to pursue this thing, but then you get the doxxers working against them.

so you're cool with a bullet in the head of a gamergate supporter huh?

Smear campaign aside for a moment,

To be fair, shark jumping exists in pretty much every Resident Evil game.

Dare to dream!

Christ, do your research, would you kindly?
