Nah.Texas,i like you because you’re one of the rare people on Internet that dont bend over to the Channers mob but no,some complaints about Sarkeesian (ESPECIALLY the flaws of her Tropes vs Feminism videos which are chokefull of cherrypicking and uninformed crap) are legit.But ,granted, it’s true that no sides of GamerGate are willing to listen the other opinions and instead throw accusations of zoophilia and “sea-lioning (whatever that mean” at each other.
Also,this,one hundred per cent this
“The koolaid drinkers could have, for example, commented on the fact that for twenty years Nintendo ran a magazine called Nintendo Power that existed solely to review Nintendo games as if from an unbiased perspective, or the fact that Electronic Arts handing out payola to magazines and review sites in direct exchange for positive reviews of shitty games was an open secret in the industry for over a decade.”
@TexasUberAlles
You just love dawning that shining armor don’t ya? :3
You do act a lot like them, complaining about such trivial things like this thread talking again, when you are infact could have just not said anything, you chose to keep it going.
You also have such a low value of women to believe when they are so weak and when say anything online that the need a big strong man like you to protect M’lady from being corrected when she’s wrong. My, you sure are sexist.
I’m not even getting into your assumption of Gamergate as there’s already a place for that, which I doubt you’d visit anyways, but seriously if you don’t want to see this pop up in your notifications then UNSUBSCRIBE it’s not hard. Just click the [x]

A simple survey of the attitude of the loudest complainers– and a little basic fact-checking– show that most of the complaints about Sarkeesian are on the opposite side of the galaxy from “legit”, but the transparently misogynist motivation of the hashtaggamergater koolaid drinkers might have been just a wee bit more opaque if they had acknowledged the actual corruption in the video game industry and gaming press instead of focusing exclusively on manufactured controversy about exlusively female (and male feminist) journalists and baseless innuendo about nobody game devs based on libel and slander promulgated by their angry ex-boyfriends. The koolaid drinkers could have, for example, commented on the fact that for twenty years Nintendo ran a magazine called Nintendo Power that existed solely to review Nintendo games as if from an unbiased perspective, or the fact that Electronic Arts handing out payola to magazines and review sites in direct exchange for positive reviews of shitty games was an open secret in the industry for over a decade. Leaving out the trackable 4chan IRC meetups encouraging organized threats of murder and sexual violence, doxxing, IRL stalking, and targeted harrassment campaigns designed to encourage suicide… that might have helped as well.
…Say, isn’t everyone extra special happy that this corpse got dug up five months after the body went cold? Necroing political shitflinging threads months after everyone involved had gotten over themselves sure does contribute a lot of fun and positivity to the site, huh.
About this thread:GamerGate is based on legit complaints about crooks like Sarkeesian and yellow journalists like Gawker and co,but unfortuantely Channers in their neverending quest to steal the spotlight and promote themselves as “ALMIGHTY DEFENDER OF FREEZE PEACH” poisoned the well by ressorting to their usual tactic of trolling,doxxing,you name it.Some of the journos scumbags notice this trend that whenever Channers go,shit follow them and try to use it at their advantage (ie:Brianna Wu or whatever faking death threats on her Twitter).And let’s not start about people like Milo Yannopoulos that see this wonderful shitstorm as a platform to push his political agendas (see his tweet lamenting that right-wing politicians didnt jump on the GG bandwagon to win “THE CULTURE WAR AGAINST ESS JEE DOUBLE U tm”)
In conclusion,fellow Derpis,dont touch the GG poop and share this bucket of popcorn with me as the Feminazis/Journos douches and the Channers/Gamers turd sandwiches make asses of themselves.Or we can play video games to change our minds,that’s cool too.
@Tetrominon
…From the dude who necro’d a thread that had been in a shallow grave for five months just to make a bitchy little unnecessary point to an empty room. Yeah, you sure got me there, bruh, you’s totes the bigger person here.
@TexasUberAlles
Great contribution as always, Tex. Just the level of insight and understanding of flawed human behavior I’ve come to expect from your ilk.
@SilentObserver01 The Round Stable, a pony site/forum founded by SomethingAwful goons and populated almost entirely by bitter, hypocritical misandrist shitheels. You’re better off not visiting the link I provided; at least, I sure as fuck wish I never had.
@Cyborg_pony
So, basically… you don’t actually understand the definition of “white knight”, it’s just your go-to attempt to use buzzwords instead of actual arguments because the very idea of anyone giving a shit about someone other than themselves is a completely alien concept to you.
Protip, bro dip: unless someone is fishing for compliments or expecting some kind of reward, “white knight” doesn’t apply, and you just look ridiculous for squirting it out like it’s some kind of big gun argument winner.
@Tenafly Viper
a lot of her ‘‘threats’’ were found to have been faked
So, in one boilerplate bullshit bloviation, you’re both casually dismissing all the valid-as-any-other-online-misogynist-shitbag threats, and claiming with absolutely no sourcing whatsoever that there are “faked threats”. Bonus Round: try to find any citation to back up any of that that doesn’t include the self-identifying tinfoil hatter weaselwords “false flag”.
And yyyeah, was there ever any actual evidence of Quinn “sabotaging” anything? Aside from “BECAUSE REDDIT SAID SO AND REASONS”, I mean. ‘Cuz, y’know, turns out not even The Fine Young Capitalists is pimpin’ that shit any more.
@Tenafly Viper
Might as well ignore him. He suffers an extreme case of white knight syndrome, and gets outrageously furious when you sully M’lady’s honor even if they do it themselves or there is some proof that she’s a liar.
@TexasUberAlles
…So, like…did you just conveniently FORGET that a lot of her “threats” were found to have been faked, and that she tried to sabotage TWO different projects that were meant to benefit women in gaming? Because I don’t think you know much more than “OHMAHGURD THE MENZ IS BEING MEEN TO DA WOMENZ DIS PROOF I NEEDS FEMNIZZEZEMZ!!!”
@Cyborg_pony
If you’re trying to claim that Kamiya Hideki is drinkin’ your kool-aid, bro, you might wanna fact check yourself before you wreck yourself; he ain’t got time for that bullshit.
If all this #gamergate assholery was actually about JERNALISTC ETHIKS!!1!, they would be focusing on the payola and advertising-masquerading-as-reviews that are endemic among the big AAA game companies instead of one unknown reviewer and her spiteful ex at an unknown indie developer. Also, y’know, probably a little less of the rape threats and death threats and stalking and harassing family members and doxing and slander and libel and cheery discussion of whether it would help their cause if they were able to harass her into killing herself.
…Well, that sure is a lot of image rating related spoiler text for “a serious discussion about ethics”.
@Tenafly Viper
It’s always a numbers game to them. No matter how many women are invalid in gaming, because the majority of women would be completely against their views and agenda driven narrative. Just like Brianna Wo lying about knowing all the women developers and that they’re terrified of pro Gamergate supporters.
So I guess she’s spoken to the devs or popular games like Bayonetta and unchartered? Oh that’s right, they don’t count because they submit to the patriarchal will like the fine young capitalists which is why they needed to be destroyed.
@Cyborg_pony
What’s hilarious is that they are also simultaneously claiming that “WOMEN MAKE UP 40% OF ALL GAMERS!”, right after calling all gamers “misogynists”.
I know I can’t be the only one seeing that these people are intentionally stirring up drama just to profit off of it, right? Whether financially, or for attention, that’s all it really amounts to.
@Tenafly Viper
That’s usually how it goes nowadays. Just looks at the Gamergate stuff. Bloggers from the websites that have come under fire for unethical journalism got on TV, have google hangouts and even their own Seminars to speak about what Gamergate “really is” which is just white misogynist males that want women out of gaming, and everyone ignores the women and non-white males, because it devastates their case.
@guywithstuff
Are you certain about that? Because I’m pretty sure she’s either IN her 30’s, or in her very LATE 20’s. Meanwhile, she’s been caught going through posts on my blog that weren’t even tagged with anything she’d be searching just to passive-aggressively quote them in her own posts, despite allegedly having me “blocked”.
But hey - at least I’m not the one who not only got caught trying to make a profit off of someone else’s intellectual property in a way that goes against the ideals of the creator of said property, but also playing a minor part in causing someone to lose their job.
Once again, nothing on my blog would cause myself, nor anyone else, to be fired from a job. Curious, though, how you didn’t mention kick-neckbeard-ass, who was caught having multiple tags devoted to wishing death upon specific people.
But, no. I’M the “bad guy” for standing up for people that are being unjustly bullied. Yeah, okay there, champ.
I’m seriously surprised that so many of you failed to recognize the cartoons being parodied.
(I wanted to link some but…I couldn’t find them again.)
Thanks @dko for clarifying it for everybody. :D
