So, I'll talk to you rationally about why it *was* appropriate to post that exact message on Twitter.
Anita has become a celebrity. Twitter may be a lark for you, but for people in the public eye, Twitter is the only place they can have a relatively safe and separate public discourse with their fans and detractors.…
Squarr, you are a Hero. This kind of outrage is EXACTLY what the Internet was built for. Detractors, take SEVERAL NOTES:
1)The war cry for Squarr's entrenched position? "Fuck You, Fuck Off". It is a simple, albeit vicious Dismissive statement. Squarr has not said to anyone "I am going to fuck you, I am going to take…
SAY FUZZY PICKLES!
Still sends shivers up my spine.
Sadly, I will direct you to his exact wording - "pepperoni stick". You just know he's a scared, conflicted little man who is using one of those teensy Oberto snack sticks, because anything bigger would be "gay". I've been in the willy-slinging biz myself, and ohhhhh do I know this type ><
So excited for this - the aesthetic reminds me of my favourite parts of FFVIII, and I'm totally ready for the shipping of bromantic leads~!
Granted, as long as it is acknowledged that expressions of disappointment in a site ("I can't believe Kotaku did this!"), disappointment in a writer /editor ("This really puts the value of his entire journalistic catalogue into question!") or individual ("Her tactics are uncalled for!") are miles apart from "Kotaku…
Sooo, I guess I'm still asking what talking about journalistic ethics has to do with this discussion *about* harassment and attacks that are currently happening.
EDIT: I mean, I conceptually get *what* you are saying, but, to bring it up, unintentionally implies that there was a trigger for these attacks - breaches in…

1) Is one side of the argument's ideal outcome that the other side is either harmed, or stops existing?
2) Do any…
But see, ignoring it isn't a solution, when real people are affected by it in real ways, and are asking for help. To turn your back on a person whose sense of safety and security have been damaged by this harassment, just because "nono, we're helping you by ignoring it - and you - and there are bound to be some…
Soooo you *do* realize that bringing any of that information into a discussion of harassment in the games industry is tantamount to saying there are situations and circumstances in which harassment on such a scale is justified - which is kind of the entire problem vis a vis the harassment issue. Which is separate from…
Well, I did it. I held out through every iteration of the 3DS until they met my design demands. I missed out on gaming experience after gaming experience as a watched the iterations trickle to a stop.
I suppose the part that confuses me, when anyone tries to get the "debate" back to a rational level is... why do we even need to debate or criticize her or her videos to any specific degree? I say that not because we can't have an honest discussion about feminism, but, like... "How to eat an Apple" is a thing on…
Came for Monstro vs. Sin.
