"What you seem categorically incapable of grasping is that aggression against women in gaming is not a racial thing."

"If you want the industry to be more inclusive, the first step is to stop shouting down voices for diversity just because you think they aren't the right kind of voices for diversity."

Is that any kind of excuse not to have that kind of voice represented in the discussion? Shall POC, non-binary, and homosexual people just keep letting the straight whites do all their talking for them?

I never excused, condoned, or promoted the harassment of Anita Sarkeesian by saying she wasn't credible; anyways, that does little to address the argument that the proponents of diversity have all been white heterosexuals. Like I said at least gamergate tried, what the hell is the opposing side doing besides paying…

Essentially I wish Anita was a transgendered black woman, then I feel like the call for diversity in games would have a real world face, and possibly a better impact.

That's not a good enough excuse to not get more diverse faces in this discussion. Even gamergate paid lip service to the idea of diversity with that bullshit #notyourshield tag. All I've seen their opponents do is prop up white men and women to complain about diversity issues.

Not all voices are created equal. I wouldn't listen to a self-described feminist who was friends with David Duke, why? Because credibility matters. Her position as this pro-gaming Messiah for the minorities of gaming is hypocritical bull shit, and I wish someone else would step in front of this train, but it just so…

"The fact that you're going this far out of your way to discredit a woman..."

"Listen: the people you're standing with will never stop moving the goalposts."

And please stop saying "my people" as if I'm some racist, sexist, homophobic, mouth breather. Gamergate is full of Nazis, and I am VERY far from a Nazi. I think gaming women need a bell hooks, not a betty freidan, then the critics arguments would become transparent. I'm sick of white, pretty people speaking for and…

"A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject."

Do you even read yourself when you write? I never once said she was a villain, that representation for women wasn't an issue, etc. Your inferential logic is like a bottomless pit of hopeless and unfathomable stupidity.

"I don't even like Anita. I think a lot of her citations lack actual research and show that she's got only a surface-level understanding of how games work. Or that she has a team doing her research for her and takes what they tell her at face value and makes an argument off of that."

Umm... ok so I think you either a) have reading comprehension issues or b) live an alternate universe where what I'm typing and what you're reading vastly differ in content. It's pretty simple really, I agree with you, games are emotionally stunted, and women definitely need proper representation in games, I have said…

Whenever I see the holy trinity of Wu/Sarkeesian/Quinn or Gamergate mentioned in anything my stomach starts to turn. People on both sides of this discussion are horrendously shallow.

So you engage in ad hominum attacks and insinuate I'm a gamergater because I said her credibility was shot? Nice deflection, but it only serves to make you look like the one guilty of linear thinking.

"... and by arguing that her points are irrelevant because of some perceived scam mentality you've projected onto her..."

Hey at least you guys have a few note worthy directors: Guillermo del Toro, Alejandro Jorowski, and this guy. We Puerto Ricans are still waiting for our cinematic genius.

Just so everyone knows 1) the " not your shield" reddit has like 300 people and has been inactive since last year and2) Dick Wolf is a conservative, and the producer of LaO so that means the episode had to get his stamp of approval, so this really isn't surprising at all.

I feel like if they left in all the smutty creepiness, and then had Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross do the soundtrack, and let David Fincher direct it, this probably could've been a pretty good thriller about a woman who has stockholme's over a sociopath.
