As I said before, John Cleese is always relevant Accurate reenactment of trying to have an arguement with an aGG [video=youtube;kQFKtI6gn9Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQFKtI6gn9Y[/video] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/QNK7Rax.png[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/s9i1Pbv.png[/thumb] Bonus content: [URL]https://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/538891095091191808[/URL]

[QUOTE=G-Strogg;46596445][img]http://puu.sh/d9slM/bdae07b9e9.png[/img] What those chickenshits had to reply with. Do they even know what they're talking about?

Trust but verify.[/QUOTE] I like how they considered her to be a GG victim first, and a game reviewer second.

Brianna Wu is [I]absolutely[/I] the only qualified person allowed to talk about this, and no 'studies' or 'facts' are going to disprove her opinions!

I love this, the whole DDOSing of this forum has spectacularly backfired on whoever has done it and in fact drawn more attention to this thread. Got to love the Streisand Effect.

Regarding IA, Sargon did this: [url]http://youtu.be/OxThMYb66WA[/url]

I haven't been keeping track of any of the GG stuff that's been going on for the past few weeks/months, but I've found out that a friend of a friend writes for kotaku, but he doesn't seem to be insane from what I've seen

Oh my god I try listening is IA's statement but it's too fucking funny/enraging for me to even sit through it. If someone told me that there was a person in /pol/ that was serious I would've never believed it but Jim is that fucking person.

Divinity: Original Sin has the original front page art on steam [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/2nv97c/moral_boost_divinity_original_sin_back_to/[/url] That's.. unexpected, to say the least. Can't believe I'm glad to see bikini chainmail in a game. I hate the concept but being bullied into changing your vision is just wrong.

Got to love the Streisand Effect.[/QUOTE] With as often as its been invoked during the whole consumer revolt, you'd think AGG would be intimately familiar with the Streisand Effect by now. Then again, our opponents have shown a complete inability to learn from mistakes, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Well, certainly there’s a more-than-insignificant contingent of it who seeks to legitimize an anti-woman agenda and cover for harassment of prominent women in Gaming such as Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu, Leigh Alexander, and the list goes on. Such people will claim Gamergate was never “about” these people (comically dehumanizing by referring to them as Literally Who #1-9, at last count) while still attacking them, not just with death threats as in the more notorious cases, but with insane accusations such as Zoe Quinn being guilty of murder, for instance. And this portion of Gamergate, it must tragically be acknowledged, has been the one actually getting things done.[/quote] They REALLY think it's all about harassment and anti-woman in gaming, why is it so hard to convince them it isn't? I mean, if there is any proof of it not, look at our forum.

The fact that they've changed it back to showing the midriff now of all times is, well, interesting to say the least.
