The other way around. They are hypocrites.

So now that pro-GG people are getting doxxed and SJWs are trying to mess with their livelihood directly by harassing them at work I'm waiting on all these anti-GG people to practice what they preach and take responsibility for the crazies amongst their ranks. Waiting... Oh, right, they can only demand this of other people.

Bruce we all know what the dictionary says. But the problem is in identifying said inequality and finding solutions that are fair. You can have all the best sounding motivation in the world but it is the how you go on about achieving your goal and the results of your efforts that can rightfully come to define your entire movement.

I don't know what I would do if I were gay. But I know there is a very long list of things that would need to be settled first before the Russian society can even begin to have a real conversation about gay issues.

These type of things had been damaging any protest movement in Russia for years. Nothing to do with right and wrong, just a fact. Most ordinary Russians see opposition protests as a collection of dressed up carnival freaks. It is a question of priorities. Things like gay rights, etc, are very low on the list of concerns that most people have to deal with.

I actually tried to find that article but thought they deleted it out of embarrassment. Which they would. Although these days maybe not.

Ah, ok. My bad. Although it would surprise me little if we get there in time.

This is a respected member among the video games' journalist community, not a radical in some corner somewhere. Also it's more funny than outrageous. So if I say don't play games with PvP in them if you are this traumatised by it, is that victim blaming?

Just because I have not seen this before: Tell me again about devaluing the word rape.

As long as they try to "fight back" by banning and censoring this thing will keep going. These abuses of power are endless ammunition. This thing might have been forgotten by now had some people not gone on a massive deletion of threads and posts spree. But since we are where we are. They've managed -- and I don't really care how, through actual collusion or just some hive mind logic -- to censor this thing, to deny exposure, across some pretty major places around the web. Neogaf, reddit, 4chan, etc. We've been told for a long time by these people, "There is no censorship," "No one is coming for your games," etc. Now what? Who is going to guarantee after what we are witnessing that they will never do this to a video game on the basis of some similar social justice reasons? They wont get away with doing it to a major publisher but a smaller game that has a trope that does not suit their world view? They can talk all they want about how they are not trying to police games' content. But an indie dev who relies on these people for exposure is going to have to think very hard before deciding if they are going to do what they want to do or try to please the thought police of the games' industry. And pleasing them isn't even as simple as being pro social justice, just look at TFYC.

Wow. That real? It does not feel real...

Careful. El rape is coming for your white large something.

I think we have finally discovered the capital of The Patriarchy.

And in another hilarious twist of irony Colin Campbell the author of the Polygon article wrote a book. Editorial integrity... blurry ethical lines... delusions... I had plenty of material to work with... <-- I'm sure you did Colin.

Polygon: "Sommers is also fond of insults. She tweeted that I am a "mansplainer" and invited me to address what she describes as her "ideas." Others added that because I question the views of one woman, I must be a misogynist. One person compared me to Napoleon (the pig, not the emperor.) I am not the first person to face the wrath of video game sexism-deniers, and compared to the vitriol some have faced, my experience was very mild." Oh my god this is hilarious. The insult. The irony. Soaring right over his head.

"The dichotomy of casual and hardcore gaming is a useful one, up to a point. But to use it as a justification for its own worst aspects, such as unnecessary and inhibiting gender disparities, is to ignore the creative potential of its own destruction. Games are stories and the best stories are blind to gender." You're on to something there Polygon.

Silverstring media's Zoya: "TotalBiscuit’s rapey interpretation of journalistic ethics." http://borderhouseblog.com/?p=11941

Well I agree that she's far less important than the journalists.

Just like to make one thing clear. I'm quiet ok with sl*ts. I'm not shaming her for liking to have sex. I am shaming her for being a massive hypocrite. She preaches loyalty to one partner which she does not practice. And the relevance that I attach to this is that this is a person who is in a position to dictate moral standards to other people and it is relevant to gaming journalism because she's their victimised hero posterchild and her position may be even stronger in those circles.

This is some dumb trolling. I would be quite pleased with free useful things even if it is just toilet rolls.

Lets get something straight about criticizing Zoe Quinn. I rarely talk about her personally but let me get something of my chest since the subject of her "troglodyte" critics -- sweet generalization here again, somehow the same people never want to take things 'in context' when an 'oppressed' group is being generalised like so -- came up. There are some insults and threats that are truly excessive. Are all of them deserved? Nah. Is she given too much importance in the gaming journalism story? Probably. Is it perhaps unfair that it was her that started everything and not a subject more deserving? Probably. But lets get something straight. Zoe Quinn is a terrible person, in fact if this forum allowed I would use a few choice terms to describe her. Not because she is female but because she earned it. She (and her cronies) was a major nuisance for TFYC over bull**** SJW reasons that didn't even make sense, she created Wizardchan harassment story out of her butthole, she "raped" her boyfriend according to her own world-view (which says a thing or two about all that feminist ideology she'd like to push down other people's throats but not her own) and whatever you may think of how the guy acted Zoe Quinn hardly has any moral authority not only over him but anyone really. It actually is not that surprising that one of them annoying SJW pricks would irritate people enough to be the final straw as opposed to some 'real' corruption that people like to point to in the, "Why now because a woman is involved and not then?" context. We now live in this environment where everyone has to pussyfoot around snowflake bitches like her because she has a vagina. Like her vagina is the vagina of every woman and any attack on a woman is de facto considered an attack on all women. This is just as sexist as anything out there.

Judging by Leigh's irrational twitchy actions this is causing her considerable stress.

Leigh Alexander is running around deleting her tweets. And naturally all that does is draw everyone's attention to the content of those tweets which of course can never be deleted from the internet. For someone who believes themselves to be smart... Here is a sample:
