A you trying to make me a feminist?Follow

I know, I know, you're all still /butthurt that Kotaku points out the relationship of those identifying with Gamergate & the ongoing harassing of women associated with it. I can't blame all gamergaters for their crazies, just like we can't blame all tea partiers for theirs, all muslims for the action of a few, or ruport murdoch for instances of christian extremism, but if a video game aggregate website makes the 'spergers of gamergate settle down to the point where they stop harassing folks then I am for it.

Whoops, guess it hasn't appeased them yet!

All intenet media is clickbait, be it foxnews, huffpost, or gawker.

This more accurately describes my frustration with gamergate.

That's a nice way of waving away the problem. False equivocation for the win!

I like how every anti-GG comic I see has some "disclaimer" saying "If you see something wrong with this, it's because you're a terrible person" and neatly evades any possibility of "It's because the argument made in my comic was simplistic and weak". No, it's only because you're a bad person for not agreeing.

Hey, if you want groupthink and media feeding you a narrative to generate outrage, I understand that Fox News is always looking for new viewers.

I would like to apologize for my tone in the last one. I'm just ******* tired of us getting blamed for things other people are doing.

Edit: So apparently there are PCGamer related happenings. My twitter feed is half PC Gamer stuff, half screencaps of GG people who have gotten doxxed or attacked. The latter may be related to the Guardian article, but I'm not certain what's going on with the former, though PC Master Race has been mentioned a couple times as has several references to deletion of incriminating articles. Will edit post when I find something.

Edit: Apparently a writer at PC Gamer, Tyler Wilde, was romantically involved with someone working for Ubisoft and didn't disclose that while writing articles about Ubisoft's products. PC Gamer is reportedly deleting articles. That's enough research for now. Trainee put me behind not just on keeping up with GG stuff, but also with watching MF Pallytime's Heroes of the Storm videos, and that sounds more entertaining to catch up on right now, now that I have a rough idea on what they're talking about.

The best thing to come out of this gamergate thing is it finally gave me a reason to use Firefox's automatic site blocker.

Yes.

Earlier today Smash totally doxxed me and told the forum where I live, give or take fifteen miles.

I'm not saying it was Gamergate related Spoiler...but it was totally Gamergate related but who do I contact on Twitter to get my free money?

I just typed "Joph's house" into Google maps. You should lower your online profile, probably.

This post is because I laughed at someone and thought you might find it funny too. Edit: Part 2.

I wonder what Amanda thinks about having a cyborg sent into the past as the governor of California.

Sadly, it sounds like /baph/ swatted someone and got their dog killed(a couple weeks ago, from what I'm hearing). Of course, people are trying to blame it on us. Not sure why it's coming up now. I just know that I'm really tired of GG being blamed for things other people do. Hell, apparently they tried to blame us for Leelah Alcorn's suicide at some point from what I'm hearing(I haven't confirmed that, too tired).

On the upside, I'm going to be on vacation for a week starting Wednesday afternoon, so I'll get a break from work and have more time to game/watch anime instead of watching twitter(may check before bed, but certainly a lot less time), so it should be a good break from drama. Hell, I may even catch up on all those episodes of Grimm on my DVR.

Hard to keep track, which side is leaching onto publicity generated by hate and harassment to promote their cause?
