Here is something even more interesting: http://www.usu.edu/ust/index.cfm?article=54179 Law enforcement deemed there was never an imminent threat. Anita canceled her talk because of Utah's CCW law. Spin it how you will, those are the facts. A gawker site against gamergate?!?! NO! But thats what I thought, I didn't think this was deemed a legitimate threat Because it wasn't.

I didn't expect them to be less overt, if anything I expected them to be more overt. Most media will not call them on their ****, no matter what his low they sink. You are very much right. There are a lot of lazy journalists out there. I found an article in a Dutch newspaper, one which normally rarely ever covers anything to do with games, decrying the terrible abuse suffered by women at the hands of the conservative angry white males known as GamerGate. The journalist who wrote it had obviously just copied everything from the Forbes article without doing any sort of research of his own into the subject. And I imagine this sort of thing is spreading to local newspapers everywhere. The force of lazy journalism is strong indeed. For those who speak Dutch : http://www.ad.nl/ad/nl/5595/Digitaal/article/detail/3770903/2014/10/17/Gamevrouwen-bedreigd-Bitch-ik-weet-waar-je-woont.dhtml It can't even get the basest facts right because it specifies that the attacks are against "topvrouwen" a.k.a. those who are at the top of games hierarchy. I haven't heard anything of Jade Raymond getting threatened, just some nobodies that literally nobody would know if they hadn't been threatened. EDIT: WikiLeaks on GamerGate: "The say movement is tainted, they're right. Keep going anyway." You mean Brianna Who? isn't a top tier developer? I'm shocked! The more this goes on the more obvious it has become that these people have sealed themselves into an echo chamber. Mental gymnastics like pointing out that trolls can't be easily stopped means you condone harassment, using a hashtag and wanting more ethical journalism makes you a misogynist bigotry, and that there is some grand conspiracy by gamers to drive out teh wimminz and teh darkies because some **** anon troll on Twitter tweets something awful are ****ing baffling. Maybe asking for more ethical journalism was a mistake. I'm starting to believe that these people are so unprincipled that they are incapable of adhering to any code of ethics or honor. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig after all.

I didn't expect them to be less overt, if anything I expected them to be more overt. Most media will not call them on their ****, no matter what his low they sink.

So it's like a videogame Expendables?

Nope. Here's a collection of screen grabs that explain it far better than people whining about people on the internet. You'll note the GNAA involved in egging the harassment on. ... What the ****. Honest question TN, are you honestly suprised that these folks who do their best to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find evidence of misogyny are bribing people to say misogynist stuff to discredit opponents?

Meh, looks boring. If I want to go around killing everything in sight I'll probably end up playing IWD or some other combat heavy RPG.

Picture of journalist who either favourited and retweeted these bullying tweets: http://imgur.com/2o6lNXc This with what Orogun1 posted is damn depressing. These guys are openly encouraging bullying and the Guardian wont even talk with pro-GG crowd and labels them as idiots. I think I'm going to take a few day break from this. I thought when this started to hit mainstream media I would get to see more balanced articles, you know, reporters talking to the both sides, but no. No, no no. Lazy reporting what others have reported or even denouncing pro-GG crowd, like the Guardian. And why in the hell everyone keeps talking about Zoe? She is as important to GamerGate as Gavrilo Princip was to World War I. Yeah, in all honesty this is getting me to wonder if bothering with ethics has been a waste of time. I'm starting to doubt if the game press has any integrity or moral fiber to speak of, and maybe I would be much better off ignoring them completely.

Yeah it's pretty scary. When my father quit his job to start a business he was pretty stressed out, and I remember the first year being scary as hell for him.

Wait, he seriously got doxxed for reporting on it? What the **** is wrong with those people?

^Let's not forget Fallout New Vegas, which apparently encourages the player to kill scantily clad women.

I don't want combat XP or Bestiary XP, but trap/lock XP is just dumb. Hell, it's arguably more degenerate gameplay than combat XP because you're almost requiring a player to have a slot occupied by a character that can deal with that ****. Just let players deal with locks or traps how ever they want and let the reward be lootz or not getting hurt by traps.

I think the fact that #gamergate is a hash tag makes it impossible to define it as a monolithic group, as anyone can use it. I do think it is going to be around for quite a while though, as much as the bloggers seem to want it to stop they can't resist throwing fuel on the fire.

I have to agree with TN. Fantastic Chronicle has a lot more problems than the cast.

Stop the harassment, you neckbearded misogynerd pieces of ****.

She's been playing games since she was a kid. She also doesn't play the games she usually mentions in her videos. I fail to see the contradiction. As for the gamergate's association with the MRA crowd, I'm pretty sure that whichever clown tweeted this has to be quite close to them. That's preeeeetty thin. Who are those two? and I see no gamergate tag. You've never heard of DUCK ENLIGHTENMENT! Have you been living under a rock man! He is huge in the world of anons you've never heard of.

And racial minorities just colored their skin, they're actually white dudes. Feel the call of the neckbeard, my patriarchal brethren.

Interesting. Which ones are sexist? Are the accounts used by verifiable people, or are they under tags like "chatterwhiteman" or "I0wnzu242"?

Let's go even further. We can't talk about football until all hooliganism stops.

Exactly. We should hold the individuals accountable and leave it at that.

As an aside, could something be done about automatic use if smileys? I find it a bit jarrring that Enoch or Nonek's eight line is puncutuated by .

I actually stumbled upon this earlier today and almost posted it. It's a pretty good read, even if it doesn't say anything new to those of us who've been around this for a while. If they want to end GanerGate, adopting an ethics policy is a good way to start and finish. Screaming that people need to **** off is probably just going to poss them off.

Days of Future Catholicism?

These women need a SJW to mansplain what gg is actually about.

Homo Misogynus? I probably should take the subject serious, but to the best of my knowledge, I don't bash the opposite sex on a regular basis and consider it more of an "adjustment needed to a first world problem". Now if people were talking about how women get treated in tribal societies suffering from stone age mentality, where women are treated like slaves, raped, humiliated and either killed or forced to marry the offender as a convenience to solve rape crimes, then that is something that gets my blood boiling. Yeah, off topic, carry on... That stuff isn't as important as rich white women haveing someone be mean to them on the internet.

From what I can tell, it's a boiling point to the divide between consumers of video games and journalists who cover video games. In fact I'd argue that the ME3 ending stuff planted the seeds for it.
