Dear Bros,

"Family is important to me."

Would I get upset over being strip-searched? Always.

"What IS this movie even?"

Unhitch your cause, whatever it is, from #GamerGate. Its moved well beyond the point of redemption. Find another name, find another fight, find another way of expressing what you want ("ethics in journalism" or whatever— good luck with that) #GamerGate is done.

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…

Gamergate has already won. People in the industry are all siding with us because they know these slanderous articles are all insane.

Clueless bigot is clueless.

Hahaha yup, I feel good seeing a racist, sexist harasser get their feelings hurt. Therefore I'm exactly the same as harassers who threaten peoples lives. Get out of here with that BS. Go back to 8chan with your friends and cry about how oppressed you are.

idk I think that part's pretty important

Her examples (and perforce, her research) sometimes evince that she's not played the games she's commenting on, but her general observations are still spot-damned-on.

She's a great example of the power of a solid idea undercut by terrible research practices, and that continues to sadden me—she's saying what needs to be…

This is why I end up using Adblock even on sites that I would normally like to support.

Maybe this is just because I just finished moving and have been knee-deep in the stuff, but that skirt looks like it's made of bubble wrap.

Dude. Have you ever played a video game, watched an action movie, or read a fairytale? If you have, and haven't noticed what's wrong with most of them, try reversing the genders of every character and see if what happens seems strange to you. Imagine a racing game where the female driver who wins at the end is…

So, do you believe the Holocaust happened?
Because I'm assuming you aren't Hitler, or a high-ranking member of the Nazi party, or someone who liberated the death camps, or a survivor. But then HOW COULD YOU KNOW?!
And you know that there was a culture and a history that allowed it to happen, right? Both in Europe and…

Try to think about this in black and white terms. Literally.
Let's say a black man came up to you and told you that he was pulled over and beaten by police for some unknown reason. Would you believe in that case that it has something to do with culture or history? Because odds are it does.

I'm not a visible minority.…

Rape culture: CNN worrying that the rapists in the Stubenville case would suffer because they'll have criminal records.

This is what really stuck out to me:

This is terrifying. As a teenager I barely understood that you were allowed to decline a prom invite. It didn't help that at my school you weren't allowed to go to a formal dance without a partner. The date had to be opposite sex, because that really prevented any students from being gay right? By the way, this was…
