So... Is this article supposed to be "ironic" or hipster self-aware hypocrisy or something?

The graphic of the Widowmaker wearing skin-tight body latex with boots and shoulderpads kind of makes the Blizzard / Kotaku claims of ratcheting down the sexploitation rather hollow. And the Mercy character isn't any better…

The argument that "Gamergate is broken. Give it up" is the argument of a coward and a bully. What you people are saying is, "I don't want to engage in a difficult, uncomfortable, nuanced discussion - so I'm just going to claim an entire group of people is wrong because of the actions of unrelated extremists. It's…

Maybe if they played some good Euro board games like Cavern Farmers instead of Ameri-trash junk like Monopoly...

I admire the man's craftsmanship. That's some fine Legory there.

The point is that there is serious question as to the legitimacy of Sarkeesians' so-called victimhood. The 'abusers' may not actually exist. Claims she has made in the past have been fraudulent. Whether or not THIS particular case is real is called into question by her past behavior, which has broken her…

That presumes Sarkeesian is a victim, when there is ample evidence from her behavior and words that she does what she does not because she is a victim because because she is making money on victimhood status.

That's the problem when you have little boys lying about wolves, or grown women lying about death threats. …

IF (heavy emphasis) the threat was legitimate then hopefully they catch whoever did it and throw the book at them. However, there is enough evidence based on her past behaviors that justifies doing a double-take on any story Sarkeesian coughs up.

I'm no fan of this self-aggrandizing SJW and her particular brand of bull. Of course any actual threats deserve prosecution, but she's been caught faking enough that she gets the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" and "Chicken Little" treatment from me when she opens her mouth.

Throwback Mountain Dew is good, but I like all the Throwbacks and I specifically buy my Coca Cola from CostCo so I can get cases of the Mexican bottled stuff that uses real sugar. I just prefer the sodas that do not have HFCS. For some reason the HFCS sodas taste 'sharper' while the real sugar ones like Mt. Dew…

I wish they would bring back...

The "problem" (as I see it) is that there is a yawning gap between the so-called "gaming journalist" and their audience.

I'm supplying actual arguments. You're tossing ad hominems and no arguments. Your behavior marks you as the troll. Physician, heal thyself.

Ah - the ad hominems a person that lacks a cohesive argument. How rare and special it is... Since you appear unaware of writing conventions, I'll deign to educate...

There is just something viscerally appealing when you watch a person who truly is enjoying what they're doing. It doesn't matter what they're even doing. It just matters that they love it. This guy is a good example of that. He's just a guy sitting in a chair watching a 'partly' interactive movie, but he's just so…

Yeah the people making threats are pinheads. Stooping to that kind of garbage means they're either troglodytes, or they're too stupid to make an intellectual argument. There is plenty of ways to dismember Sarkeesian's arguments without that sort of drivel.

I read it - and accurately analyzed it. You just don't like what I had to say. :) For example...

"I'm not sure how the hell you got the idea that I was saying we should do things just because they're hard."

Maybe it was the part where you said...

"So since it isn't easy we shouldn't do it? Ridiculous."

That's a more fair argument than what Sarkeesian presents. Her video is not making those kinds of suggestions. She's saying, "This is bad and needs to stop" while not supplying a realistic alternative, and also while ignoring or minimizing other information that contradicts her posit.

For example, she talks about…

So since it isn't easy, we shouldn't do it? Ridiculous.

You make a better argument here than the one made by Sarkeesian. Let's examine it more closely. You have a video game where you are going to motivate the protagonist (the player) so that they start going out and doing stuff like fighting and traveling from place to place. What is their motivation?

In "Last of Us"…

Pht - so all the faceless hordes of male minions that get mowed down by the thousands in EVERY video game have "autonomy and depth"? And no male in a video game ever dies to elicit an emotional response? What a load of bullcrap.
