[QUOTE=01271;46594250]Here's the agg answers to claire, whoever she was. [url]https://archive.today/EPjfU[/url] There's a reason to be suspicious of it, but LW2 confirmed it so it's up in the air.[/QUOTE] I am leaning toward it being a real account considering the tripe they have tried to use to claim it's a sockpuppet. Either way I don't think that justifies, as KIA put it, rape metaphors being sent to her.

[QUOTE=Thlis;46594067]So I went to GamerGhazi to see what their reaction is to this. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cZxRvje.jpg[/IMG] [B]They are fucking nuts [/B]They think that because someone in the 1800s was named Clara Schumann, Claire Schumann must be a sockpuppet.[/QUOTE] A few lines above they are distancing themselves from FreeBSDGirl's behaviour, at least. Mostly.

Well, if Claire comes back, she can easily contribute to #notyourshield in some offbeat way if she wasn't a sockpuppet.

I'm late but [img]http://puu.sh/d95Cb/7dfdc2ef6b.png[/img] freebsdgirl, self-titled "Literally Blue", talking about "needing attention from GG" so much projection [editline]28th November 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=gudman;46593256]These people are obsessed with creating an echo chamber wherever they go, so that's no surprise. "Moderate" rings of treachery to SJW's ears.[/QUOTE] the first thing extremists do is kill the moderates

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;46594513][IMG]http://a.pomf.se/wcrfwx.png[/IMG] The irony[/QUOTE] It's really about ethics amongst twitter users. Got her new tagline right here.

so all my social justicey friends online are all adoring Dragon Age what I find hillarious is though is that all these people, all play a white character with brown hair cause you know, we want diverse protagonists and all

They are actually protesting against white males being protagonists in video games by playing as a white male protagonist, duh. Also stop harassing your friends on the internet, you cishet scum, etc etc. Dang, I feel more stupid just by writing this.

cant they at least be blonde why are they no blonde men in gaming James Sunderland is like the end of it

[URL]https://archive.today/EPjfU[/URL] There's a reason to be suspicious of it, but LW2 confirmed it so it's up in the air.[/QUOTE] This looks like nothing but nonsense and conjectures worthy of a conspiracy theory enthusiast The facts are that someone posted an AMA and she got harrassed to shit over it by the people who claim to condemn that kind of thing SJWs call everyone who slightly disagree with them a sockpuppet. Whether it actually was (no evidence whatsoever of that) is irrelevant, she gave them absolutely no reason to harrass her like that yet here we are

wait does that make me racist for playing a black character [editline]28th November 2014[/editline] like, in gta 5 when i play as franklin i am usually my least violent, he just doesn't seem like the kind of person who would go on a violent rampage

Seems like a waste of time for me, they will change it so they can freely insult someone who disagrees with anything they say anyway.

[QUOTE=Rockeiro123;46594513][IMG]http://a.pomf.se/wcrfwx.png[/IMG] The irony[/QUOTE] "It's a lot less mild than what GG throws at me" ??? Are my english reading skills failing me or that should be "a lot [I]more"[/I] and not "a lot less" mild?

[QUOTE=Annoyed Grunt;46594963]"It's a lot less mild than what GG throws at me" ??? Are my english reading skills failing me or that should be "a lot [I]more"[/I] and not "a lot less" mild?[/QUOTE] freudian slip

I really, [I]really[/I] want Claire to make a video. Or something. Even if it's just her voice. Just so people know that hey, maybe you shouldn't assume somebody's a fucking sockpuppet just because they disagree with you on some topics [B]despite being on your bloody side[/B]. At this point, AGG has obliterated its own feet using orbital strike cannons. [editline]28th November 2014[/editline] I find it absolutely incredible how 'Us vs them' some AGG people are. "You're anti-GG, but you don't think they're all literally worse than ISIS? You must be a fake account! Hahaha I hope you get raped! Why are you leaving Twitter and getting upset, it's your own fault for letting us insult you! It's not harassment, it's about ethics!" I'm starting to feel like every prominent AGG person is being controlled by /pol/ just to make them look bad. They can't [I]possibly[/I] be this silly.

The depths of human stupidity are bottomless,never assume you have seen the dumbest of anything.

They take making a mistake so gracefully don't they?

It's turning into self-parody, now. "maybe you should be nice to people if you want to garner support" "MAYBE YOU SHOULD SUCK MY DICK"

[QUOTE=Wii60;46595614][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9exy5z7.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] *SHOCK* Is that a AGG encouraging suicide?!?!

[QUOTE=Fayez;46595872]*SHOCK* Is that a AGG encouraging suicide?!?![/QUOTE] Don't worry, it's a joke.

[QUOTE=Fayez;46595872]*SHOCK* Is that a AGG encouraging suicide?!?![/QUOTE] Nah, that's just aimed at yet another sockpuppet. Man, they're everywhere, even real people in real life are sockpuppets. Has #Gamergate gone too far?

[QUOTE=gudman;46595898]Nah, that's just aimed at yet another sockpuppet. Man, they're everywhere, even real people in real life are sockpuppets. Has #Gamergate gone too far?[/QUOTE] 91% of Anti-gger's get this wrong! Has #gamergate gone too far?

It's absolutely amazing how everyone involved in Gamergate is accused of having the exact same views as extreme fringe minorities who happen to use the hashtag, whilst at the same time those people are saying that we're ridiculous for stating that journalists might be biased by being [I]best friends[/I] with the developers of the games they're reviewing.

Has #Gamergate gone too far?[/QUOTE] Fuck no, if anything #Gamergate hasn't gone far enough. These monsters need to be exposed for the pieces of shit they are. You know the ones I mean. The ones who believe "moderate" is a dirty word. Jesus, I feel absolutely shitty for Claire. I almost wish I had her address so I could send a card or something. I may be pro-GG but that doesn't mean I don't sympathize with her.
