*DING DING DING* Armchair psychiatrist alert!

Nope. Because my identity isn't tethered to a joystick. Sorry for the lack of your life that yours apparently is.

NO ONE claimed that all gamers were bad. Get off your cross for two seconds and see that many, many articles were written about how the stereotypical 'gamer' - basement dweller, socially inept, gross dude - is dead, because gaming is now something everyone likes to do. And what did these assholes in GG do in…

I remember the start of it fairly clearly. I stayed out of it. It was a shitstorm. This is the internet. One of your own said it best: Clear heads will prevail.

When things were a tiny bit quieter, admittedly they're still pretty shit-roaringly loud, I went to that initial post and did my own fact checking. Looked at…

For the last time, not abiding by simple ToS != censorship.

The icing on the cake was a GGer aligning themselves with the overwhelmingly peaceful Civil Rights movement. The lack of self-awareness is strong in this one.

Remember kids, 3rd hand anecdota now equals data!

You didn't actually read Leigh's article. If you had, you would know that that isn't what it was about.

As a white straight male gamer who for many years when he was younger did not have any friends whose name did not end with "intendo", you fucking bore me. You're fucking insecure. That is your problem.

The problen is, yes, they are saying we are all this bad. They have been from the start. Thats what caused gamergate.

I came to reply to your comment because our notifications system only shows us the beginning of each comment. It's a perfect example of how many of these discussions go. First paragraph: polite compliment, a nice setup for a civil discussion. Second paragraph: valid concern that we could discuss. Third paragraph:…

If Occupy became more known for sexual assaults than protesting against banks, then YES, yes we would suggest that they change their name.

Except Occupy started as a protest against the banks. Gamergate started as part of a bunch of people witchunting a woman after her ex posted a bunch of information about her. The first use of the tag came when Adam Baldwin tweeted it along with Quinnspiracy videos. We addressed the accusations against us, Stephen sat…

But you benefit from the harassment and doxing. Your baldly ridiculous assertion that Anita is a fake feminist will go unchallenged, your assertion that videogame journalism corruption merits any attention when compared to the harassment described above willl go unmocked, and nobody is pointing out how wildly…

You gave yourself away when you started in with the "fake feminist" bullshit.

Why do you care what Anita says? All she does is produce YouTube videos. The only reason she had any power at all is because her opponents give her power. They transformed her from an obscure YouTube critic into a new York Times headline and a rolling stone interviewee. Do you honestly believe that she would be…

"Instead of an NPC cracking a joke, they point out that their gay/bi or whatever, which just makes it feel like you're being preached at."

GamerGate is no more about journalistic ethics than the Civil War was about states' rights.

That's because what you said is pretty homophobic.

I've been saying this for a while now.

I grew up in a time when being a "gamer" was cause for ridicule. Shit, admitting to owning a Nintendo in the mid-80's was a good way to get your ass kicked at my school (not at all schools, I understand).

Now that gaming's finally mainstreamed, and the hobby has -finally- gained…
