    I can start using "cock" instead. Because you're being a wee bit of a cock.
    And no, you're definitely the one, the only one in the thread, trivialising mysogyny.
    I don't give power to the words like you do.

    By "standard" I mean what people who receive them generally do.
    And I assume the police would agree with that.

    "I showed you the proof."

    You linked an IRC chat with, like, a mere 30-50 people, with snippets out of context that was made after Adam Baldwin coined the term.
    Eh.

    "They have used friendlier sounding terms to cover up for "keep them n*****s away from our women". They've always been about white supremacy, they just

    Way to trivialise actual mysogyny.
    And I use the words because they roll off the tongue perfectly. "Cock" is pretty good too, in the bluntest of fashions.

    And yes, when you quote it I can definitely see how it looked like that.
    I was referring to the standard procedure what you should do, using celebrities, who are

    Nothing about calling someone a twat is misogynistic, per definition.

    "We know for a fact that several GGers were creating a bunch of dummy Twitter accounts to push #gamergate and #notyourshield. How surprising would it be to find out I'm right (by the way, me being right is pretty much the default setting)"

    "Anti-GGers" have made dummy accounts on 4chan and Twitter to try and stir

    "Except that whole "created by mysogonistic assholes to round up useful idiots" thing."

    Cunt, dick, twat, cockhead.. it doesn't matter.
    You're the one choosing to interpret it that way, and it's silly.

    No, I don't know for sure, obviously, but I assume they're not a bunch of completely incompetent idiots.
    You don't see celebrities talk about how many threats they receive, do you?
    And the "you're only

    Myeah, but aren't those usually pretty easy to spot?
    And do you really think that's what's been happening?

    Stephen Totilo on Kotaku said himself that the majority of the GGers he interacted with on Twitter were reasonable folks.

    "It is just a stupid hashtag. and it really is stupid."

    Alright, so there's no reason to change.

    "The KKK advertises itself as a civics group trying to fight crime and moral decay in America."

    Don't forget trying to restore white supremacy.

    "So, the hashtag is bigger than the principals behind it?"

    To the public,

    Elaborate.

    Insulting a woman isn't hating women. That's just trivialises actual misogyny.
    I'd feel and say the exact same if they were men.

    "As to her not announcing her death threats, it makes absolute sense to make them known and make threateners know they have been and will be reported. Please share with the forum your

    Aye, but with 50k Gamergate tweets a day that notion is pretty far-fetched.

    Why should they change tag?
    They joined Gamergate because they want some ethics in journalism, and that's what it was advertised as. Therefore, that's what it is.

    And of course it's a big deal.
    Gamergate is huge. Changing it would likely result in a disappearence, unless people REALLY dedicate themselves to spreading

    Now playing

    Seeing as GG is a completely leaderless movement, getting hard proof is impossible.
    The vast majority of tweets towards GG's most famous "targets" are neutral. To a point of about 90%.
    So we can rule out the harassment.

    The ideals would mostly be about ethics in gaming journalism.
    David Pakman Show had a pretty good

    What kind of badmouthing are you referring to?

    I definitely agree that discussion should always come first, but I understand people who think above mentioned people are manipulative twats.

    Another way to decrease threats would be not to use them as advertisement for your agenda.
    When you get threats you report 'em to

    No need to be a douche about it.
    I admit it's possible, seeing as 4chan can have some big influence.

    Alright, let's entertain the idea that a few 4chaners started it, calling it a movement for ethics in journalism, but they have their hidden agenda.
    Those thousands or people don't join in because of said hidden

    Why?
    The handful of trolls and genuine cunts are a handful of, well.. cunts. And they're condemned by the majority of GG, since the majority is a group of sane people.
    They don't represent GG or its ideals.

    Just like I don't think the people threatening and doxxing GG supporters represent all

    Feel free to provide your proof.

    How so?

    "A few local ones did. you can't claim all GGers were involved in that"

    That sort of contradicts what you wrote here.
    An arsonist is one person with one crime and a fairly straight line of thoughts.
    Gamergater isn't a single entity, as you yourself said.
