You don't need hashtags to promote harmony and fairness.

If you don't stand behind violent death threats and misogyny, then you aren't a GG. And if you want to continue to identify as a gamergate member, don't be surprised if you are labeled violent and misogynistic.

Stan Ford? (Gotta be a joke, right?)

I think, and I could be wrong since I'm a white guy, that generalizations on both sides hurts legitimate arguments. And yet it doesn't matter if you're on Deadspin or Gawker, The Rest of the World vs Gamergates, generalizations are wielded like a blunt club to curb discourse. It's the internet equivalent of shouting…

So uh, your name is LuxuryTweeting? Pleased to meet you! Can I find LuxuryTweeting on Facebook or Google+?

Well, damn, as a white male I was going to argue against Gamergate and its stupidity, but I'd just be wasting my time. Thanks!

Our president could do something now, and to fail to act is a stain on him directly.

Game: Dark Souls 2

Oh I'm so sorry, whatever you tried to post failed miserably because I can't see it. But I'm sure as soon I get home and rush to check your reply, I'll immediately need aloe to take the sting out of that sick burn!

In other words a group of people who are traditionally picked up by society form their own group and once it became cool and popular to be part of said society suddenly the natives are releasing decades of hatred and venom?

So, you know "exactly it should be." That's impressive! Did you go to school for that or were you born with these magical gifts of mental prowess? Because, you know, I really could use someone in my life to just follow me around and tell me exactly how something should be, every time. I do so hate making decisions…

It's okay to sound like an elitist. Without us, no one would ever try to rise above the fray. Take a look at the comments from posters who say "pfft, I don't care how a game looks as long as it feels well done story wise." We'd never have anything past MUDs graphically speaking if that were true. It's called higher…

PS4 people, you're one step closer to knowing what a PC player feels like. High-five, minion!

There is one problem with this entire situation and that's the under(or over)currents of hatred.

Kind of how the federal government treats computer related crimes, huh. How you can go to jail for simply getting around a company's poor URLs than if you committed deliberate murder. Because you are the example, over and over and over again.

All I learned from this book was that I'm the woman in my relationship.

Well, I guess it'll only be a few days before Gawker authors get tired of seeing my comments hit their inboxes. :/

People panic, especially in numbers. Imagine if this guy made this joke to just one person with no one else around, they may laugh nervously but probably not say anything. Especially after finding out it is a joke.

I have a family member who is convinced that this Ebola is airborne. I mean almost full-on prepping for it. So I can definitely see idiots on a plane freaking out over a sneeze and causing a rukus.

I heard something once about a war and Argentina not winning it. But I can't quite think of it, right now. /shrug
