I was considering writing my own words about my thoughts on Anita's videos, but this just made me decide it wasn't worth it.[/QUOTE] If she sees woman that willingly acts "sluttly" does she go up and call them a "Fuck Toy"?

i think wu saying that she was homeless is amazingly stupid. she wasn't homeless, she was displaced. homeless people don't have a car, money, and a smartphone where they can tweet from starbucks

[QUOTE=1nfiniteseed;46236468]I can't be the only one that had never heard of Brianna Wu or whatever game it is that she'd making before all this happened, right?[/QUOTE] This part bothers me the most. Wu has been seen nowhere in gaming media or even in the gamergate circle, yet suddenly she gets en massed harassed/trolled by 8chan over her game that looks like "Reboot: Bratz Edtion". I strongly believe this was all a stunt so she could get on cable television. People just don't pick obscure nobodies as a target, but she sure as hell made herself a target now.

I mean holy shit. Does anyone that actually takes her word verbatim actually enjoy or play video games?

She's smarter than most of the other people in SJ, that's why she can easily manipulate them without fully standing behind the message she conveys. [editline]15th October 2014[/editline] She also hasn't done anything outright dumb so far in person, that's another reason by I don't think the tweet was written by her.

Feminist Frequency is a mouthpiece for Jonathan McIntosh so those are probably his words. I do think Anita's bolder than she used to be, though.

The video title matches her style perfectly though :suicide:

I don't know why people don't talk about Centipede, that game was designed by a woman which I didn't know up until now.

-snip, wrong thread, I'm an idiot.- This is why you don't have multiple FP tabs open I guess.

Maybe you can pitch it to a man that time-travelled from the Victorian era for a story he's writing.

[QUOTE=Phycosymo;46237044]Calling a female character "Fuck Toy" apparently does not carry any sexist undertones whatsoever.

God damnit whatever sparked up this new #Stopgamergate tag I want it to fuck off already, this whole thing is forcing me to hate friends because they're so proud about only paying attention the mass of dumbass jerkoffs in gamergate :( [editline]15th October 2014[/editline] I wish the movement could find a new title so bad I wish that so much but it just can't

ive seen people on tumblr i follow reblog stupid shit thinking its funny basically painting GG people as massive neckbeards hating on women. i just mostly ignore and move on since every time you talk to them they either say "well its just videogame drama" or "well this (sjw feminist blog) says that they are all like that and i dont want to listen". i even told one person who said that it was awful that a friend of theirs got doxxed and abused for a joke that was seen as offensive when it wasn't that the anti-gg side is doing the same exact shit, They didn't give a shit. Its fucking bullshit how some fucking nobody who mysteriously gets a death threat is able to appear on television and be victimized, while other people on pro GG side are having the same if not worse happening to them with little to no recognition outside of 8chan or here.

Take any tweets or texts or evidence of both GG and AGG people claiming they've been doxxed. Consolidate all this stuff into one post or image or info poster to show the volume difference of people who have been hit by either side.[/QUOTE] I don't have the resources nor photochop skills for it but I know some people here do. Maybe to a quick collaboration to get it done.

[url]https://twitter.com/Sethrogen/status/522265747288911872[/url] Seth Rogen isn't a fan

Seth Rogen is good at playing the same character in every movie he's in

[IMG]http://puu.sh/ccTLS/6c93c71cb1.png[/IMG] This really summarizes this whole deal for me. Adam Baldwin linked an entire article full of FACTS, yet Seth "just thinks the guy was insensitive and so he should stop supporting gamergate". I'm seriously frightened at how many people favor feelings over reason in dealing with those situations. Especially people who are otherwise extremely level headed and rational. The guilt tripping fucking works.

How *dare* you smear her. @TFYCapitalists[/quote] Literally what?

using hyperbole and melodrama as well as making things up to gain support from the less informed masses

I feel ill after reading that,can she seriously fuck off if she spent half as much time working on her games as she does stirring the pot so she can play victim depression quest wouldnt have been so shitty.

It's disgusting that she's just going on about being a victim who did nothing wrong and TYFC is somehow slandering her? Someone needs to give her a reality check.

I didn't see this posted here. It's an interview with a couple of (anonymous) game devs about GG. [url]http://www.nichegamer.net/2014/10/gamergate-interview-reviewing-the-reviewers-double-time-edition/[/url] It's a nice read, if a bit long.
