No. New All-Female 'Ghostbusters' Cast Chosen. *sigh* This just screams "oooh, we are going to tap into the current generation with this"-focusgrouping.

"Interrogation at Guantanamo was left to untrained amateurs"
Dystopian books on how the human condition makes tyranny, torture and authoritarianism is a slippery slope for any civilization can be easily debunked as irrelevant because current ideologies are completely immune to it. Bruce, Bruce, you're really trolling now

Haven't you gotten the memo? Adults find the female form repulsive and abhorrent, it is a sign of maturity after all. And don't even get started on pictures that might insinuate sexual dimorphism. So grow up now, will you. In other, they have found out that the leader of #GG was all along TotalBiscuit. Extra Credits has the irrefutable proof and this is TB's response: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1skam53

What's this #GamerGateNeutral? Is someone trying to divide the community?

The site is already online? I haven't even seen it in the #GG twitter-feed. She needs to promote it more.

Not really sure how this is relevant to GamersGate - and bothering to discuss it in a GamersGate context (IMO) just feeds the idea that GamersGate isn't about ethics in journalism. Relevant? It's fun goddammit!

It's back up for me. Huh, must've been solved pretty quickly after i logged off then. Oh well, these were the news that i was talking about: - FemFreq makes almost 400k in december 2014 alone. 2015 will branch out with merchandise (i think that anyone can easily conclude what a con this is by now): https://www.dropbox.com/s/q4z6qa561roidh5/femfreq_annualreport2014.pdf?dl=0 - eCeleb-drama: Brianna Wu's husband seems to have been quite abuse according to his ex-wife: http://theralphretort.com/giant-spacekats-frank-wu-under-fire-as-ex-wife-details-domestic-violence-0124015/ - 4Chan logs leaked, showing that the admin chose to shut down any gamergate discussion due to "bad PR" (l0l0l0000l) and how the janitors agree that 4chan is not a place for people feeling bad about themselves (tr0l0l000000000ol): http://8ch.net/gamergate/res/272801.html

I was just gonna post about Femfreq planning to offer merchandise (for a fee of course), but my link to 8chan died since their gamergate board is under attack again

Eraserhead (1977) *sigh*/10 Is this movie supposed to be disturbing? thought-provoking? All i was left doing was either almost screaming at the screen "Do something!!!", laugh at it or just having a frowned face. Great special effects and cinematography though.

The Georgina Young one was much more effective criticism. The first one just came off like all the bad anti gg articles. I would think a harassment support network would be something someone who is harassed goes to, rather than something that would reach out to the harassed, so his points fell flat to me. Well, apparently there is a vetting process where they determine if you're the right kind of victim for their company (whatever happened to listen and believe and not victim blaming?). Also they apparently reach out to victims that they feel would make a good fit for their company. Seriously though, why would a help group need to vet people before they help them? I seriously expect this thing to become "Victim.Inc". I can't wondering if Zoe's Patreon money is funneled into this. If so, i wouldn't be surprised if it will be filed as an charity.....que tax-free patreon-ca$h. Why is the countdown to August the 16th btw?

It seems like the IGDA Director is a financial supporter of FemFreq Kickstarter, but it has ofcourse never been officially disclosed. http://theralphretort.com/igda-director-was-backer-of-anita-and-zoe-012215/ People are keeping on digging and it seems like there are other IGDA members as well.

Last i've heard they booted people indiscriminately. Ryulong was booted though, but all in all, so were those that were more pro-GG.
