Yes.
If they rebutt that's their choice, and secondly as we've seen before #GG aren't even remotely saintly beatific folks in their own right.
Take the high road, let others believe what they wish to.

That doesn't really work when AGG will outright condemn something if even a single point is against them.
[QUOTE=V12US;46666842]Am I the only one who believes /pol/ is just a pain in the ass anyway?
To me it seems like they do nothing but provide ammunition to opponents.[/QUOTE]
I thought /pol/ was a hilarious board.
It's like someone took Facepunch's Sensationalist Headlines section and [I][B]!!!overcharged!!![/B][/I] it. Threads of an-cap white nationalists arguing with Marxists, it was great.
it's really weird to think 4chan is falling to the ground in front of my eyes, you know? Of all the websites I'd expect to burn slowly that's the last one
I at least wanted Kotaku to go before that.

The last archive link is broken, I commented with a fix though.
Coarsely reading through that seddit stuff (shudder), it's creepy at times and definitely aggressive but not actually rapey.
In fact it's probably the most benign "how to get a woman" guide I've seen so far, stressing consent multiple times and being pretty much the opposite of demeaning to women.
The people complaining about this being "super rapey" would probably BSOD if they saw any snippet from Bagget's book (which, to be fair, you can open at more or less any point and feel ill after two sentences).

Watch as this backfires hard on EA.

[QUOTE=MartinPL;46666229]Five folders regarding 12 payments, sale reports and royalty reports from Sony, Humble, GOG and Steam, price dictations, loan evidence, e-mails, a folder called "shadow indie fund". Looking at the files, it seems that all "private" information (private as in the kind of information that would allow doxxing, such as non-public addresses, phone numbers, private/personal e-mail addresses, in which case only the domain is given, many times it's just gmail.com) is blacked out.
In summary, [b]that's a whole artillery of shit directed right at Fez, Polytron and IGF[/b].
There is no possible way they can get out of this mess with no scars.[/QUOTE]
I think some/most of that is from the Fez hack.

this is literally making the game easier because they think it is too hard for women
"I think we should make a completely different and easier control input for woman."
I don't think that you need to be a rocket scientist to know that Anita basically insulted woman with that statement. It's so hilarious.
How long till someone suggests segregating online matchmaking by gender?
[QUOTE=Wormy;46668371]Thanks both of you for your answers, this will help me quite a bit. Even though this whole thing is still quite confusing for me, it gives me a little bit more to work with. At the very least I understand what the #GamerGate tag is used for and that it's got different meanings and views.[/QUOTE]
You also should read [URL="http://kazerad.tumblr.com/tagged/GamerGate"]all of these[/URL], they are fairly insightful (but also only represent the one perspective Kazerad holds identified in one of the posts).

[QUOTE=Jordax;46668441]Anti-GG admits that they have a doxxing problem, then play it off with 'They probably meant well'
[t]http://i.imgur.com/Q2UYek4.jpg[/t]
No Randi, this is the kind of behavior that needs to be called out no matter what side they are on.
You can't just go 'GAMERGATE IS THE EVILEST THING EVER' when someone with no affiliation to GG whatsoever does it, yet go 'They probably meant well' when your side does it.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't call that "playing it off", but there's certainly some double standard by her.

Watch as the game turns out to be a flop and the franchise gets thrown in the garbage bin.
Watch as Sarkeesian blames the sexist white male for its failure.

I wonder if it's possible to retrieve them programmatically... Not to mention tumblr reblogs are genuine copies (and completely editable so don't trust them), so they aren't affected by blog deletions (afaik).
If only it wasn't such a hassle to use any web API.

[QUOTE=Wii60;46669280]8chan has a idea of making many comics in her "attacking SJW" style and post them in a flood on tumblr.[/QUOTE]
Except you can't flood Tumblr (unless you target specific hashtags and avoid those people have blocked using XKit).
The most they could do side-wide is getting a tag to trend, but even then visibility is low.
Well, if they do manage to target a specific hashtag they can definitely very much annoy the people tracking it.

If I'm not mistaken both the 4chan post and the interview/article are fairly old. ([URL="https://archive.today/o5kUs"]The interview is from mid last year.[/URL])
Also, while Mirror's Edge isn't exactly easy I think that that challenge was good and didn't feel like control issues.
There was one part that had a confusing layout and got me stuck for a while though.
Seeing /pol/ go down in flames makes me more sad than happy. Sure, I hate the board but it's a love-hate relationship between me and /pol/. I just sometimes browse on there to see the nutjobs post on there and laugh at them.
:c
This whole drama with /pol/ would make a good story someone should write down
so is anita going to turn mirror's edge into nothing but quicktime events

I'm so glad the first game didn't have any of those.
In any case that fear is overblown I think, but the chance of her making a worthwhile contribution tends towards zero.
I don't get how a game can have a control scheme that's hard for women specifically unless the control scheme requires a penis.
Does anyone know of a game like that? I don't.

Postal 2 because of revolutionary pissing physics.
And with RWS being pro-GG plus showing that they are going to shit all over SJWs and gaming journos in the upcoming title Postal 2: Paradise Lost, the rage that singular expansion will create would power RWS for another decade or so.
Having a penis allows me to operate 11 buttons at the same time, a 10% increase in effectiveness compared to women
That's what true male gamer privilege is all about
