[QUOTE=Banned?;46135885][img]http://i.imgur.com/gUOkToW.png[/img] This fucking guy. This is a grown man.[/QUOTE] I wonder if he only said fart to AnAliveGamer because of their name.

I wonder if he thinks acting this way strengthens his side of the argument. [B]FART FART FART[/B]

[QUOTE=Tamschi;46135750]That's a user-submitted article that has apparently not yet been reviewed, i.e. the same as posting that on Tumblr.[/QUOTE] AGG have been actively trying to flag it as inappropriate.

[B]edit:[/B] clocks, but still, don't get it at all[/QUOTE] I really don't know. It's like when she who shall not be named was spamming her own feed with "butts". Also, yeah woe is Intel that some scrub is making himself look like a baby infront of potential employers. KingofPol is just about to talk about MightyNo9 -made a mistake earlier [URL]http://www.hitbox.tv/KingofPol[/URL]

That guy has a fucking PhD too. In Genetics. You'd think someone with that kind of knowledge would know when he's acting like a fucking four year old throwing a temper tantrum.

I think what's really sad is that this programmer is punishing his base and consumers because he's upset with Intel's decision. Punish Intel if you're upset with Intel. Not your userbase. Fucking hell.

[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;46135863]What is it with SJW and fart and poopy babies insults?[/QUOTE] It's a rude gesture that won't offend anyone.

Not to go off topic, but why are "right wing" and "conservative" the boogeyman words with these individuals?

[QUOTE=Da Vinci3;46136243]Not to go off topic, but why are "right wing" and "conservative" the boogeyman words with these individuals?[/QUOTE] Because an established feminist made a video on the YouTube channel of a right-wing think tank saying that games are not sexist and people took that and ran with it, even though [I]she is a feminist[/I] and doesn't politically align with the organization that funded the video.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46135624]for those saying that GG is a right-wing movement [url]https://imgur.com/Qvo6Ost[/url][/QUOTE] I've not seen many people apart from those trying to stop or slow the movement down call it right wing really. But it does keep attracting right wing groups and figures that have proven in the past they don't give a fuck, and that really is something to watch out for, as they are being dishonest and wont help the movement at all.

[QUOTE=hexpunK;46136323]They still funded the video, and that's really fucking shifty.[/QUOTE] So? Milo whatshisname is also a right wing dude who's said crazy stuff in the past but we're still using him. I'm not going to discount a video by an actual, researched feminist who is talking about something relevant.

[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;46135863]What is it with SJW and fart and poopy babies insults?[/QUOTE]Immaturity. They're not very mature individuals, and so when they get put under pressure, they lash out as such. Just the same way that most eleven or twelve year olds think any mention of "farts" or "butts" or whatever is the funniest thing ever.

[QUOTE=Dr.Cola;46135863]What is it with SJW and fart and poopy babies insults?[/QUOTE] Because the only way they can "win" in their closed reality is to be as immature as possible. Seriously, the last time I heard anyone call someone else "gross" or a "baby" was in primary school. When I was 15. There's no point in arguing with them. They will manufacture their own realities through group consensus and then kafkatrap you into a loop of "if you don't think the problem exists that means you're part of the problem." It's the same method of arguing that children use before they're taught logic and reasoning skills. The only time they ever get tripped up is when they accuse a minority of being cishetwhitemale and then being proved undeniably wrong, but even then they'll usually just drop out of the argument and pretend it never happened. I'm getting really tired of having to flash my metaphorical "bisexual genderqueer licence" in the face of these accusations and then being promptly ignored.

[QUOTE=Cliff2;46136187]Just a heads up [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/2i50xp/i_went_to_erons_hearing_on_tuesday/[/url] Not verified, but sounds pretty legit.[/QUOTE] [quote]The hearing lasted about ten minutes, after which Eron's attorney was sufficiently outraged that he offered to take Eron through a substantial portion of the appeals process pro bono.[/quote] I want this on video :v: (I realise court proceedings can't be televised... though that doesn't seem to be always the case in the US. I saw a live stream of a testimonial/witness interrogation once which really surprised me.) Seriously though, that judge was acting extremely weird according to the post. It's going to be interesting what the following instances will have to say about this. (Also doesn't pro bono just mean without payment up front in the US? I imagine he's going to send the bill to Quinn after it's over.)

[QUOTE=Thlis;46136456]Social Justice [img]http://i.imgur.com/DIHs2yr.png[/img][/QUOTE] This kind of behavior the opposition has is absolutely disgusting. Just handwaving people's sides and opinions as just "oh she's just a slut who wants to get with the boys because she's gross" or "oh that poor negro doesn't know any better". Really shines a light on who these kinds of people are. Snobby, pompous, full of themselves white folks whose mommies and daddies paid their way through college.

I don't understand the boys club strawman. This isn't some treehouse with a "no gurlz allowed" sign pinned to the wall.

That's legitimately the most sexist thing I've read thus far in terms of gamergate stuff. Not only implying that women are incapable of making decisions without a progressive man telling them how to feel but also explicitly saying women who disagree with him are doing it to get into a "club", the implications of which are unsettling.
