Does anyone have the article debunking Newsweek's bullshit analysis of #GG? I need it to source the French Wiki page.

TotalBiscuit is really on a roll today.
Ever wonder what it's like to wake up an elder god that hasn't had enough sleep?

TFYC continue their sass-a-thon.
Just watch TB's twitter or his xwing alliance stream [url]http://www.twitch.tv/gogcom[/url]

TB and TFYC made my whole week, I haven't laughed this hard in a long, long time. :v:

it's like whack-a-mole and TB is the one with the hammer
[QUOTE=c0nk3r;46994992]I'm glad this thread is a thing because I thought GG was exactly what the media portrayed it as and never paid attention to the threads on 4chan.[/QUOTE]
To be fair 4chan has been completely useless in that regard since months ago when all discussion about it was banned.
Most discussion happens on 8chan's /gamergate/ board and on Twitter with the #GamerGate hashtag (and without, since enough people follow each other by now for news to spread without it).

There's a lot of drama missing that happened off the mainstream though.

To be fair TB didnt tag wu either.

In addition to what I linked before, [URL="http://chrisvoncsefalvay.com/list.html"]there's also a Gamergate network analysis series[/URL].
It only gives information about the network structure and not sentiments though.
I just hope TB doesn't slip up. Right now he's untouchable, but we can't afford to lose him.
He was the original attack from Wu if you are curious:

May I ask what TB's 'transphobic spew' was all about? It seems unlikely that somebody who supports equality would be so.

In Wu's world making fun of made up tumblr genders is transphobic

Where in reality, a "toaster" gender makes fun of actual transgenders.
how the crap would you discover your identity as a toaster or mayonnaise gender anyways

peeep.us is (relatively) easy to outright fake.
Reading that guardian article after they were defending Wikipedia is hilarious.
Like fucking really? As soon as they try to make the article neutral they go full offensive on them.

It frightens me that the mainstream media is so desperate to keep it so that GG never gets their side of the story released that they'll attack anyone who tries to provide even a neutral look at the situation. It makes me feel like they have a lot to lose if people knew the truth about GG. What is it they're hiding?
EDIT: Of course, rereading my post, it makes me look like a conspiracy loon. Maybe that's just this whole thing getting to me.
Miracle of Sound, the person who wrote the co-optional podcast theme, and who the joke was with, is telling people to calm down:

TB has been very supportive of starting open and reasonable discussion, and has even managed to do so a few times. It's pretty aparent that people like brianna wu have a bigger interest in picking sides.
I'm a binary trans person but I support non-binary trans people as well as alternative pronouns. I think that what TB said was a bit callous but at the very most I'd call it ignorant, rather than outright 'transphobic spew'. It's closer to Grandma calling black people 'Negroes' than the KKK. If TB respects the right of non-binary people to exist and identify themselves how they wish, I don't think there's really a problem though- but I'd rather that he clarify it at some point.
There is no point to alternative pronouns besides they/them/their. The only reason they are used is to make yourself look more unique and special.

[B]Toast isn't a gender.[/B]
Honestly calling yourself anything but legitimate genders (in the middle might be okayish) is outright silly, which is why people make fun of it.
Like, your gender isn't a physical object. That's just stupid. If you want to call yourself that - fine. But be prepared for mockery, and if you try to force people to call you by that, prepare for even more mockery and pissed off people who think you are dumb.
[QUOTE=3bwii;46996955]There is no point to alternative pronouns besides they/them/their. The only reason they are used is to make yourself look more unique and special.[/QUOTE]
Hate to say it, but... and? There's as much point to them as there is to 'he' and 'she'. For one thing, with alternative pronouns it can allow for some clarification in much the same way 'he' and 'she' already does. Some people just don't like the gender binary and I think there's no point in not allowing alternative pronouns.
So what if they make people special? It doesn't exactly harm anybody, does it? I don't think it's any more effort than learning somebody's name.

[QUOTE=Fangz;46996971][B]Toast isn't a gender.[/B][/QUOTE]
Toast isn't a gender but that isn't the point. Using abstraction to represent another situation is hardly uncommon, see the fake Shrek fandom which was formed to mock bronies. Not necessarily saying this is to mock nb people but I legitimately see no harm in adding a bit more variety to the gender spectrum.
