1. Don't believe that because GG showed a public effort on twitter to stop him, there wasn't private support for him.

But don't forget, all the transparent misogyny and harassment are really about ethics in gaming journalism! Apparently the best way to fight for ethics in gaming journalism is by harassing women. Weird.

This whole thing is truly one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen. A shitstorm of mental illness everywhere, outside of the women being targeted. No it's not about ethics or a cause, only unbalanced people would paint such a campaign of terror in such a light.

Wow. That's like....Nazi-era anti-Jew level caricature there.

Yeah I saw a lot of antisemitism in GamerGate, but nope, it's not about harassment, it's about ethics *barf*

even a cursory search for Sarkeesian's name on Twitter and some other Gamergate-heavy forums is enough to find plenty of angry messages, offensive caricatures, and inflammatory comments.

And yet my cabbie just got lost in the 1 mile from the tube station to my house. I had to give him directions from the back seat.

(Normally they are fabulous, I think I just got a dud today).

Agreed. Anyone who has spent two minutes in London knows this, and actually in London, not just transiting LHR. The stupidity of some people is truly a sight to behold.

Not really. GPS isn't actually that good with narrow streets nor is it very useful when you have to know the fastest way from point A to point B. The number of times I've had some nitwit who didn't know where he was going and just relying on the googlez are practically innumerable.

He wrote about "mind control applications" of microwaves and is worried that a movie said he wrote about zapping nutrition out of food? Frankly, the movie's claim is more believable in the context of the film and the general ignorance of people regarding technology.

Alternate theory then: He's a garbage man to make sure that all the toys that are thrown away meet their doom.

Killing animals, though distasteful, is not anywhere near equivalent to the killing of a human being. I'm against inhumane treatment of animals, especially things like cosmetic testing, chicken farming, and the like, but preserving a specimen is an entirely rational and ethically sound thing for a scientist to do.

It is amazing how boldly unhinged your rhetoric can be when you are safely hidden behind a digital mask.

What is the basis for assigning different ethical value to the two?

The Internet: surprisingly similar to the Middle Ages.

Are you the logical fallacy fairy?

But really, it's about ethics in gaming journalism.

I disagree. History teaches us we should expect something along the lines of "B***H IM GONNA F*****G KILL YOU AND RAPE YOUR CORPSE BACK TO LIFE THEN KILL YOU AGAIN YOU W***E GET A CANCER YOU SCUM F*****G KILL YOURSELF".

False equivilency: Spiders are not humans. Not even close, not cognitively and not ethically. And you chose DNA extraction, one of the few things he mentioned for which a non-lethal alternative exists. But there are dozens of other tests for which non lethal alternatives do not exist. And you also ignore his point…

The Internet: Where "I do not agree with you" turns into "I will fucking murder your entire family".
