You know, about 90% of this shit could be avoided if people would quit being such antagonizing assholes on social media. Alison Rapp was being a straight up douchebag to fans of the company, and that was really uncalled for. The grand majority of these “gamergate related” issues are because someone said something…

Guilt by association is an incredibly effective tactic and is exactly what’s going on here. Find a ‘group’ on the internet who’s membership is predicated entirely on an individual deciding to associate with it or not, and then blame the entire group for that individual’s behavior. Act like the group needs to somehow…

From what I’ve seen as an outsider it looks like the GamerGate thing was massively overblown by the media, the very media that GG is criticizing, almost like there’s ulterior motives at work.

This article does a fantastic job of trying to force any discussion of censorship into 1 of two camps, turbo harassment neck-beards or the enlightened ones. I dont think that was specifically your goal but its definitely the tone of the article.

The easy answer is GamerGate, the all-too-familiar amorphous group of gamers who organized in summer 2014 after game designer Zoe Quinn’s sex life was made public and eventually ended up at “ethics in games journalism.”

You haven’t been I’m assuming. You’ve probably gotten 100% of your information from Kotaku.

I can’t help but noticed you call me a liar but don’t actually say what I’ve lied about. You’ve just taken issue with me saying anything at all. Hell, I even provided links to Grayson’s Rock, Paper, Shotgun articles so you can see that he did in fact write them.

That’s Kotaku’s weirdly dishonest spin on it. That is the only article he wrote about her on Kotaku. He wrote two other articles featuring her on Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

But that was the allegation. I’m merely putting it out there since Joanna decidedly avoided saying what those “rumors” were.

So don’t buy games with white guys in them. What’s the problem? I’d like to be able to walk onto a college campus without being accosted by angry black kids, but we can’t get everything we want.

We could use an article on the top 10 brooding white “journalists”.

Oh great another one of these articles, we get already. Although I guess since I’m sorta trans F 2 M am I’m a traitor thus my being a little tired of hearing this drum beating makes me an “Uncle Tom” or whatever the equivalent word would be. Not trying to be a dick or a troll I just think this whole “white male”…

The kid won the contest, though. Ergo, he was more deserving.

Do guys regularly outperform you in your field?

First. to those that I constantly find in every comments section regarding this or Xenoblade, posting about how much you hate a fanbase actually makes you worse by comparison. Someone is passionate about something you disagree with or don’t care about. You really don’t need to be here.
