And btw, evolution is a natural process by definition. The games industry was evolving in a direction more welcoming to women perfectly well before all the Offendatrons came along.

I dare, yeah. I’m an egalitarian. I’m fully aware that both can co-exist. I would love for there to be a broader spectrum of choice in gaming. For example, Child of Light was excellent. The problem is that this current movement is all about demonising titles with “toxic” elements, and less about actual creation. If…

I don’t see the point in debating origins. It’s irrelevant to the present. So yes, you are right. I will leave you with a favorite quote from your not-at-all-a-hate-group:

“I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig.” — Andrea Dworkin

Yeah, we are having a decent talk here. It’s a day old article, so it’s off the radar (hence my spamming of that link, because at this point people only usually see replies directly to themselves). Plus I have been on Kotaku for years, and I am trying my best to be balanced and not inflammatory. I have said anti…

I don’t know if the event (or anyone else) made a video. I hope so, because the sound quality in the HBB’s own one is rather terrible.
I would say though, that the panelists responded positively to what she was saying. They agreed with many points. For example “And you are absolutely right, men are marginalized into…

Most of the mainstream ones unfortunately. Kotaku and Polygon seem to be the worst. The Escapist is a standout among mainstream gaming sites as it actually allows discussion on GamerGate (even though they are more against it than for it) without just shutting down conversation like many of the other sites do. Other…

Yeah, there is plenty of stuff that’s been dug up on KiA. It’s happening all the time. For example yesterday there was a piece up there that Cara Ellison, a journalist for The Guardian and Vice, wrote 6 articles about Gone Home without disclosing that she was good friends with the director and lead voice actor. Cara…

If you listen to the longer version with the lead in, you will see that it was totally on topic. It was the panel that brought up gamergate and MRA’s. They were specifically talking about and wondering about the disconnect on this issue, so I don’t think it was derailing at all. It was totally on point.

Because Kotaku is one of the main places slandering them. To paraphrase Total Biscuit, “Kotaku has investigated Kotaku, and found Kotaku innocent”.

Yeah? What are your thoughts on it?

A rhetorical question was asked, a badger stated they could answer as they were part of the rhetorical, then a civil debate was had where the panel agreed with many of the badgers points. Of course this is my reading of it, you can make your own mind up as the badgers recorded the whole thing (with some awful sound…

This is the “harassment”. It sounds more like civil and invited debate to me:

This sounds more like debate and less like censorship to me:

The main hub is called “KotakuInAction” for a reason.

It was hardly disruption. They were invited to talk, and the panel agreed on many points. It was civil.

I think nature AND nurture both have a role in shaping us as people and as a society. Am I batshit crazy?

Their input was welcomed in the panel and the panelists agreed with many of their points. A civil and interesting discussion was had.

This is the “disruption”. It’s them being asked a question in the Q+A section of the panel.

Promoting AGAINST the censorship of men is not the same thing as promoting FOR the censorship of women. That’s a logical fallacy, and is very black and white thinking.

Make your own judgement. This is the “disruption” that got them thrown out:
