you make this sound distinguished mentally-challenged

Pretty sure you're the one doing that.

You know way too much about the details of this stuff, magoose.
And yet he keeps telling us we should just ignore it...

i'll believe this is a hate movement when i see someone being dragged into it who's NOT involved or when the culprit of all these harassement have actual names and faces
Are you honestly not aware of how stupid this is?

i honestly got interessed in this because you guys wouldn't stop talking about it, if you don't want to believe me that's fine but look at this page, i made a few joke post and... how many has benji done?  as far as i'm concerned my conscience is clean

It was a long time coming, but I think it's time we leper Magus, close this stupid thread, and go back to talking about videogames instead. Or maybe bitch about GAF a little bit, that always cheers us up.

oh no who will call me a pirate and a pedo and give me silly nickname and make fun of me, if you want to ban me go ahead, see if i care, i'm starting to get tired of this place again already... it's gotten again to the point where i come here bored and leave annoyed and angry... how it was? "i don't need this kind of toxicity"

(Image removed from quote.) pls

ehy joe! rename this thread magusgate, this way it can be about my digital suicide and you guys can have some extra laugh at all of this

i just wanted to estabilish that anita has an history of internet drama even before tropes vs women was a thing, let alone gamergate

And this is supposed to somehow bolster your argument that the harassment is fabricated and the terrorist threats against Utah State are somehow a part of an effort to both make gamers look bad and turn Anita into a victim?

you make this sound distinguished mentally-challenged, but yes... that's what i was trying to say

i'll believe this is a hate movement when i see someone being dragged into it who's NOT involved or when the culprit of all these harassement have actual names and faces

Yeah, cause Zoe Quinn did all this to herself, and making the point that the video game industry rarely if ever treats women as anything other than objects totally means Anita was "involved" and "asking for it."

Front page of the NY Times

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/16/technology/gamergate-women-video-game-threats-anita-sarkeesian.html?_r=0

I can't believe the publishers refused to comment and instead hid behind a weak ESA statement. I just assumed everyone thought gamergate was bullshit except some insane individuals. But the more this drags on the more I realize they aren't the bad apples, I'm the bad apple ruining their fun. Publishers, developers, websites... seems like they all want this to go away so they can keep fleecing gamers until the whole industry implodes on itself

Thankfully I just bought an iPad :) So I'm safely making my exit from this mess now :rejoice

She released another video not too long ago, but I'm sure she got directly involved on Twitter and elsewhere the moment this shit started.
She's already had gamer anti-christ status though, as you probably know. I keep seeing her likened to Jack Thompson, which is just hilarious.

Meh, given people's incredibly short attention span and narcissism creating a platform that allows you to speak about yourself to people who like you in short bursts and having it become huge isn't too big a surprise in retrospect. The surprising thing is that someone else didn't come up with it.

This thing has made me fucking hates gamers and I am one myself. Look at my live profile and you'll find such progressive gems as Deathsmiles,  Oneechanbara, and Otomedius Excellent and I still say fuck these people for the way they're acting. They certainly aren't wrong about a lot of shit but their methodology and near exclusive targeting of women is utterly inexcusable. Assholes so shitty they're making me side with the dykey Jew, just amazingly impressive next level awful people. Typing this much on a phone is good times I tells ya.

The irony of all this hubbub is that the changes feminist minded people want might actually come faster because now the mainstream media is going "lol the fuck is this" and anyone not copping to some "SJW demands" is going to look like quite shitastic. The gamergaters essentially expedited the process which is hilarious.
