While Jamie Walton really did jump the gun, if there’s any truth to her clearly stating that she told you NOT to quote her, you really need to take her quote down from the article and offer an apology, at least on the article itself. Anyone with brains knows this mistake doesn’t mean the complete corruption of all…

What a twist!

Considering many subreddits are default subs that everyone is subscribed to automatically, and not all of those 789 subs are gaming-related, in the grand scheme of all things gaming, then I would argue otherwise. Everything else in the world? Absolutely, but not in gaming.

I just think it’s hypocritical and nasty to write this stuff about GamerGate harassing women, and then he doesn’t get permission to quote a woman from an email, posting private correspondence wherein she asked to be left alone, and excuses it away as it wasn’t explicitly stated to be an “off-the-record” email.

I don’t…

What Klepek quoted was literally from the email where she stated she had no desire to be involved. He can obviously write about her public remarks, but he quoted her from private conversation, a private conversation in which she stated her desire to be left alone.

Ya dude, I don’t see Klepek putting *that* in this article. Dude is straight scum IMO.

Dunno, but it’s stuff like that that really makes me glad I’m a part of the group that this guy is so against. When you’re this slimy to get a quote, and don’t even apologize or pull it from your article, and then proceed to wax poetically in her favor “ALAS I DO NOT KNOW HOW THY FAIR MAIDEN IS INVOLVED IN THIS”,…

Except there’s no actual proof of a massive campaign of GG harassment, even as reported by Women In Action media. 1% of GG twitter accounts are actual harassers.

What the shit!?

790th out of all subreddits isn’t actually too bad, when you think about it. A lot better than a “fringe” movement, IMO. Enough that Patrick Klepek gets salty about our posts!

WHOA.

I agree. Social Justice is probably one of the worst cancers you can think of. It’s gonna take some work to get it’s influence out of gaming.

That was from Jamie Walton’s Twitter, btw.

Fringe movement with 58K subscribers on Reddit, baby.

“the departure from reason that leads to smears and character assassination”

Had a long post, but I’m editing it. There’s no reasoning with you, so no point in posting anything. You’re obviously an ideologue.

oh yes this is kotaku, the videogame website that talks about patriarchy

If only you put as much dedication and time for your articles about actual video games...
