    I can't. True.
    But then, neither can anyone claim they're a group that's against women, or whatever people choose to accuse them of.

    I CAN, however, say that the majority of the GG'ers on Twitter are mostly neutral towards their "targets".
    At least we have data on that.

    Good point.

    But Walmart and KKK have some solid evidence against them, regarding the accusations.
    Not to mention what they're accused of isn't done by some obscure minority within the groups/organisations.

    Any evidence about Gamergate being a hategroup is, well.. absent.
    The donations are not about bragging rights,

    You're right.
    It was a project to get women into the industry, paying them for their contributions, should the game earn money. 30%, with 20% going to charity (unless the women involved wanted those 20% as well).

    A good cause nonetheless.

    They've (Gamergate) also almost raised $17000 to a bullying prevention charity...

    They've donated a lot of money to various charities, including Young Fine Capitalists. Didn't get that much attention.

    It'll pass when gaming journalism improves.

    Huh. I wanna try that.

    If you're a rational human being you wouldn't make such a statement.

    They did, about the "reviews".
    But orignal claims were never about reviews, but positive publicity.
    I have no idea why people, GG'ers included, got it mixed up.

    Unless Mr. Green has some insane sense of honour.
    Which I doubt.
    Since he's a criminal.
    Or not.
    Cop might be an arse.

    Whoa, what?
    The guy in green was holding a gun, and he just gets ignored once you approach the guy in blue?
    Shitty policework!

    At least they're of western design.
    Perhaps that was all that was missing from those JRPGs.

    Myeah, hopefully we won't have these cringey lines now that we have a good writer on board.

    It is.
    But there's gonna be a 2 year post-production for all those CGI goodies.

    They are, all the time. In Asia.

    Didn't see this much bitching when Bayonetta 2 came out.

    None of the characters are anatomically correct. Might as well roll with it.

    Why does that matter?
    And they ARE a tiny minority. I just provided you with that fact.

    I'm not dismissing anything.
    I've said time and time again that the ones doing it are goddamn twats and should be reported to the police.
    What I don't agree on is that they should represent a much larger group of people that are

    But it didn't debunk anything, because it didn't even have the facts.

    I read it, and it didn't do much to debunk anything.
    It wasn't about positive reviews, but positive publicity.

    Nathan earns ad revenue and Zoe earns positive publicity, which, in a longer term, earns her money through donations and whatnot.

    And no, suppliers don't suppress negative publicity. Especially not by using
