Longknife Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Another vaguely relevant (aka mostly irrelevant) video that's more for chuckles. This came up in my recommended vids, probably cause of all the GamerGate stuff: Not looking to make any political statements about this (though I could) I more or less wanted to share it because somewhere in the video there's a comment by a guy that made me go "LOLRLY, YOU CALL THAT HARASSMENT??" I wanna see if people can spot it and if their reaction is just like mine. "The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far.

Blarghagh Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) This is the part where I make a rare statement of personal condemnation: What I don't understand is that they're perfectly fine letting Stillgray speak for them. Do they just not know who he is? Have they bought into his nonsense about how gamers made him a Nazi sympathiser and his claims that he is no longer a holocaust denier? Because I don't believe he has owned up to the things he did and said, I don't even believe that he has left those things behind. If I wasn't already pro-GG, Stillgray speaking against it would have made me so. If there is one thing I can't stand, it's open and proud Nazis. Thirty years in a convent isn't enough to atone for the **** this disgusting piece of human filth has said and done. It makes me so mad that someone like that can pretend to have the high moral ground. Any ground he stands on is tainted by very definition. Edited October 29, 2014 by TrueNeutral

Fighter Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) She is an advocate for gender equality between men and women as she sees it. According to their favourite definition of the word this makes her a feminist. Or have they conveniently forgotten their favourite dictionary definition? Edited October 29, 2014 by Fighter

Oerwinde Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Watched the Colbert Report, he does some in-character ball-busting, such as acusing her of wanting to put men's balls in a felt purse, but it was pretty heavily anti-gamergate. Realistically though, guests on these kind of shows are there to promote their piece, and not answer hard questions, and thats exactly what happened.

Realistically though, guests on these kind of shows are there to promote their piece, and not answer hard questions, and thats exactly what happened. What I'm seeing from the anti-folks is some variation of "oooooh GamerGate got owned", while most supporters seem more interested in sending emails or talking about the Totilo talk with TotalBiscuit. I suppose it's because the supporters have already had much worse lobbed at them and aren't affected by media reports very much and that the TotalBiscuit bit was actually focused on the ethics GanerGate says it's concerned about. *shrug* Let the mainstream media bleat all they want, if we get even a few sites to adopt more ethical standards and a less condescending tone, we've slain our dragon.

Barothmuk Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 1) Those were merely examples, and even so you've done nothing to prove me wrong in that regard. That's exactly what I said: we as individuals do not conveniently fall into categories or political stances 100% and a conservative can support liberal stances on various issues. This does NOT however change that there are liberal stances and conservative stances. This merely means people are complex individuals who support different ideologies on different issues. Feminism however lacks defined stances.”Opposition to sex based oppression and equal rights and/or liberation for the female sex.” This is problematic and leads to very unproductive discussion. You can see it for yourself in that half of the GamerGate discussion is now about our opposition to the feminist clique within the industry rather than against the corrupt journalists.That’s basically what it’s always been about. 2) "Opposition to sex based oppression and equal rights and/or liberation for the female sex." Congratulations. You have now named your opinion on what feminism is. Just like every other person who supports or opposes feminism. The problem is that without defined stances regarding what feminism is about, your opinion is as valuable as those opinions opposing them. You ask for a defining stance of feminism and then dismiss it because feminism ‘has no defined stances’. I’m not sure what you’re expecting here, there’s no high-pope of feminism to decide what feminism is and isn’t. Fact of the matter is that regardless of how obvious and straightforward you may consider your above opinion, feminists who hate men and consider them problematic exist, and this contradicts your opinion.It does not. My definition was worded to include them. 3) I'm sorry I didn't clarify there. I am indeed ignorant about the exact types of feminism, and only had a hunch different types exist.Therein lies your problem.
