There was a simmering anger about people like me — "Social Justice Warriors", as they call us — who are asking for change in the game industry: a better, broader representation of characters, among other things. We're "the cancer that's killing games", and Kotaku is seen as the key enemy site, with Polygon a close…

Um. I think you're misunderstanding.

Sorry Evan, but Geralt has moved on from that. The Witcher is about journalistic ethics now.

Someone should make a horror game about wanting a worthy sequel to Silent Hill 2.

Nope. It's embarrassing to watch, and I'd bet dollars to donuts that those who think people are being too hard on him are a bit on the younger side, and thus perhaps a bit more immature. This is your job, your livelihood and you cannot act that way at any job, period. Just because he's on twitter and it's a video…

"If I do continue to work in games it'll be as an anonymous 1 of 1000 at some shitty corporation."

Katniss is about as flawed as it gets. But among those flaws just happens to not be every single stereotype about women. Starbuck, who is the quintessential tough ass kicking chick, is also an extremely flawed character. Big difference between flaws and stereotypes. And there's also a big difference between…

As a biracial, bisexual, I had Leigh Alexander call me a wailing, angry, white man.

You're putting yourself out there pretty firmly in this comments section, so I'm forced to ask: why are you not content to simply ignore the media outlets presenting material you don't like? I simply don't understand how attacking publications you don't like is anything but vindictive. I mean... What is the end game…

Jesus Christ on a cracker.

Leigh Alexander wasn't talking about you. Hell, she wasn't talking about me (the cis-gendered heteroish white male in our current back and forth).

She was talking about the cesspool of self-obsessed child rapists that have come to dominate "gamer culture" - basement dwelling Hot Pocket…

Stop using Bing.

They are the real victims here.

I stand corrected, don't use Ass-related Insults ™ that often:p

That's the penalty for not stocking up on health stims which took all of 30 seconds of harvesting plants to do between missions.

Jesus, man. What are you talking about? #gamergate is not a cultural heritage. It's not your last name. It's not the name of your country. For fuck's sake, it's 6 weeks old and was invented by a huge asshole.

BOOM! Done. Please, ride it all the way to Washington.

"To me, one of the biggest issues with this whole controversy is the fact that both sides constantly try to paint the other as a single homogenous group based on the actions of a few people."

The ex-boyfriend posted his rant to several places, including 4chan who he worked with from the very start.

#GamerGate wasn't an innocent critique of games journalism that got hijacked by vile agitators. It all started with a terrible harassment campaign against a female developer. Only later did it try to cover itself in the language of a valid-seeming social grievance.

Psychos sending messages on the internet aren't likely to say such things in public. The mistake here, and what lets them 'win' is saying things like 'what is wrong with the rest of you?' They aren't the rest of anything. They are apart. They are the exception and the freak.

Okay, seriously. What in the actual fuck, folks?

I teach English at the college level; last year, I was privileged to teach ENG 230, which at my institution is a rotating (through the faculty) course that is generously labeled "Special Topics in Literature."

I taught my course, for two semesters, as "Gaming: Literary…
