"And gamers are under siege. The whole hobby was a clubhouse for disaffected young white dudes, and now a bunch of uninvited people, the same people who made them feel alone and disaffected in the first place, are coming through the door and changing the place."

Anyone who talks shit about Gail Simone is automatically on my shit list.

1. Grow up. 2. how is going after sexism in games going after nerds in general. Are you saying all nerds are sexist? What a stupid comment. Grow up and then fuck off and get a life.

If the devs don't care about being called sexists and don't care if their games are described as sexist, then there's no problem. Larry Flynt is still selling porn, after all, and feminists have written acres and acres about porn.

I don't really know how to respond here. It's not "sexism". It's sexism. When people attack women with misogyny and threats, when being a woman is made the point of attack, it's sexism.

I'm not snarking on you, but is this really the first time you've heard about women being threatened online with rape and murder? Along with the wish to be extraordinary, there are few things as ordinary as this violence against women. The journalists named in this article are just a few women who've been deluged with…

Geezus H christ on a pogo stick, stop with the Anita Sarkeesian is affecting meeeeeeeeeeeee bullshit. If you don't like what she says then don't watch her vids. Did you get pissed off when Roger Ebert ranted that a movie you liked was indicative of the industry's poor form? Were you afraid he would affect…

You're question makes it seem like feminist and nerd are two different categories. The issue isn't that feminists are picking on nerds. Boy nerds are picking on girl nerds. The girl nerds speak up. The boy nerds attack feminism. The only thing feminism has to do with it is that the feminist value of not taking…

GamerGate: Because "We're trying to viciously bully a woman into committing suicide because she's a woman" is bad PR, so we're going with "We're trying to viciously bully a woman into committing suicide for important ethical reasons" instead!

Back up. Don't you dare say "gamers are under siege" as if you speak for all of us. Most of us are grown-up enough not to be threatened by women. But GamerGate represents a vocal minority who respond by saying horrible, misogynistic crap. And frankly, when that is what you are about (and that IS what GamerGate is all…

Why shouldn't they? The medium of video games can not only influence society but also reflects it. Going after sexism in video games, or the industry, is no different than confronting it anywhere else.

The gaming community is really the worst thing for gaming.

You're not one of the harassers? Great. Nobody's fucking talking about you.

"This anonymous (and typical) member of #Gamergate uses descriptors such as "ugly, acne-ridden" and "basement dwelling" to characterize how the rest of the world views other #Gamergate members. By deprecating the entire community under the guise of using "the enemy's words," they unite the entire group, and recruit…

Just shut up. It is SO tiring to hear this defense of GamerGate. GamerGate is not some heroic defense of a lifestyle and valiant charge against ethical issues in reporting. It's a bunch of boys scared by women with a voice. And they respond to being scared by spewing out some of the most vile misogynistic crap I have…

Yes, that is clearly the biggest issue here. It's not the death/rape threats, it's the fact that you saw a totally sweet YouTube video that TOTALLY puts Anita Sarkeesian in her place and no one else is watching it. So sad. How hard it must be to be you.

what exactly is the "feminist agenda"? To let women participate in the development process without being threatened with rape?

You don't HAVE "valid evidence", you moron. The only people being dishonest here are Gamerholes like you.

Too fucking right.
