Nonek Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Ah so it is this thread (not now Sargon of Akkad) which indicates how all Gamergaters think scientifically and statistically, and that in general they all have a problem with their fellow man and feminists? Please carry on, and I apologise for such a blatant generalisation and strawmanning as to think that single unconnected facts do not encompass all individuals. Point being proven sentence by sentence. Anyway off to walk the dog, ta ta. Okay then, if this thread is not the nice face of gamergate (which people here have repeatedly asserted, and I foolishly thought I should listen to them, with them being more familiar with the movement and all that), then please do show me what magical unicorn gamergater fairy land has those open-minded and tolerant folks who are completely cool with all manners of feminists and not at all spend a huge amount of their time on mocking them? Because, you know, otherwise we'll have to go by the charming and nice folks of 8chan, housing pretty much the biggest community of pedophiles well, that too, but that's orthogonal to the point gamergaters I know of? I mean, you're pretty keen on wailing about "generalization! EBUL!!4!", but fail to engage with what my original argument actually was about, which is "SJW-leaning places with strong moderation policies, in my experience, are generally more successful in creating communities where genuine respect prevails than gamergate-adjacents with their more laissez-faire guidelines of etiquette". This gets better and better, now all Gamergaters are child molestors because the few people with varying opinions on this board are not representative of everybody? And now i'm wailing (or arguing logically and calmly in truth) against generalisations, but you're saying that only tightly moderated SJW havens are successful in creating communities where genuine respect prevails*? I disagree, I think what creates a genuinely respectful community is individuals having respect for others, not generalising, or painting them in derisory terms for calmly arguing counterpoints or holding different views. Enforced moderation of fashionable viewpoints, and not allowing any dissenting opinion, will of course create a good echo chamber for those whom wish to hear their own words and beliefs parroted back at them, but true discourse is created when varying opinions are held and respected. This relies heavily of course on the arguing parties not resorting to accusing others of wailing, or child molestation, or in any other way making untrue outraged accusations and generalisations. Or in other words proving my point for me yet again. *Except of course for the diverse millions whom play games recreationally.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm still confused why everyone's being reactionary as hell. No idea. I must admit that I can't find this huge pedophile community on 8chan. Perhaps they are talking about /cuteboys/, which isn't pedophilia but rather focus on very effeminate mtfs?

cJohnOne Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Are you saying Anti-feminists are bad because they aren't fair to feminists? Or Are feminists suppose to be fair to anti-feminists?

Zoraptor Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I'm still confused why everyone's being reactionary as hell. That is pretty much what happens at some point in every internet argument because it is beautifully circular. Both sides end up accusing the other of arguing in bad faith and each side wants the other to admit that, in effect, they don't really believe what they are saying. Since in reality both sides think they are being reasonable themselves (90% of the time, sometimes people really are just trolling or are actually being dishonest) you end up with a rather pointless argument that cannot be resolved and which only hardens positions further. eg aGG Accusation: You only like feminists you agree with! Well no asterisks, Sherlock, I like feminists I agree with and dislike ones I don't. If I agreed with some other sort of feminist I'd like them instead. GG Accusation: You're in your ivory tower dictating to the unwashed masses! Well no, I'm trying to persuade you/ give my view and you disagree with me (and of course chances are that both sides will think that that summary is deeply unfair to them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much what happens at some point in every internet argument because it is beautifully circular. Still, this thread went from a photo posted by Meshugger objectively highlighting Anita's philosophies in her own words, I remarked "glad to have it on record at least" and just like that the thread suddenly devolved into all kinds of reactionary bullcrap. And strawmans. Strawmans like they were going out of style. Totally unneccesary, totally uncalled for, pretty out of left field, and ultimately unproductive.
