Radfems that hate trans people. There. Dismissed.
It doesn't mean much, but a random internet stranger is sending you hugs and good thoughts. I hope your tomorrow is better.
I agree. My friend is currently transitioning, and she loves the light that Laverne Cox has shined on trans issues.
She is incredibly important in today's world. Love her.
You are approaching this with a degree of level-headedness that is antithetical engagement season. Y U H8 LUV?
Gosh, I guess I've been roasting chicken all wrong since misterbear and I aren't yet bethrothed. Oh, woe and alas!
Who in #Gamergate has the power to "condone" anything? If you think it's the founding members, then yes, they did condone this because they were the ones who began this whole thing by harassing Zoe Quinn. If you think it's the most vocal members, then yes, they condoned this through the massive amounts of sexist…
The only thing worse than regular Ghandi is Space Ghandi.
Fuck, yes!
As long as Ghandi isn't aboard one of those ships, I'm good. Escaping that tyrannical maniac was pretty much my civ's impetus for building a spaceship lol
Yeah, guys, it's just two bomb threats. Just two instances which by all logical definitions count as terrorism, and which could have killed hundreds of innocent people. NO BIG DEAL, FOLKS.
Sarkeesian, Wu and Quinn have all had to retreat to safer places in the last few months because of these miserable little shitheels. (I wouldn't be surprised if that list is missing a couple of names.)
Since when is Twitter "casual"? Presidents and prime ministers tweet about their goings at this day and age. It is the fastest, most efficient way to be heard when you have something short but important to say. Would it have been more appropriate for her to write an essay and publish it in a newspaper? Maybe she'll do…
You are either an asshole or willfully ignorant. Possibly both.
Fucking what? Nobody's threatening your life. If you were the one getting bomb threats, I wouldn't criticise how you handled it. Matter of fact, I would EXPECT you to put a brave face on it and show the world you were not going to be stopped. I would applaud you for that.
Wow. Really. You went there? "Look how smug she is!"? Is that how you feel about anyone who presses on in the face of death threats?
I don't interpret it as smugness. I'm no fan of Sarkeesian's presentation style, but in this instance, I believe that Tweet should be read as, "Seriously, the fuck. You're not going to shut me up, so keep trying."
In that—even if I disagree with her methods (though I do agree with her message, as she's been bang-on…
"Why is it only her?"
At least three women in as many months have been threatened so seriously they've had to leave their homes because of this shit.
Eloquently said. As a former Domino's driver (the most notable moments of my career were [a] being robbed at gunpoint and [b] delivering several pizzas to the members of Guns 'n' Roses backstage and being tipped 32¢) I appreciate that.
