but how many people go to the wikipedia page
[QUOTE=Talishmar;46723901]The problem is the idea that games have a responsibility of moral conformism, which you seem to accept. It doesn't matter whether game penalizes bad deeds or not, it's enough that people disagree with the content.
GTA removal proves this because it's not mechanically misogynistic in any way but still came under fire because of "promoting misogynism".[/QUOTE]
Another example of exactly this happening a couple of years ago

Again driven by people who don't draw the line between fiction and reality and force their views upon others.

Probably all of them, so you can see why the Wikipedia page not being neutral at the issue is a big deal.
I still vote to ask them to remove the page altogether,they are obviously too incompetent to exhibit any sort of non-bias and I no longer trust any article at all on that site,its an encyclopedia for fucks sake it shouldnt be that hard not to push an agenda.
Did we ever get news on who that person typing on twitter in call caps was talking about in the industry? That would be a good breakthrough now.

I remember them yelling "you would be blown away if you knew who *some other user* actually was"

if they were for real, they were talking about how they would reveal after the holiday season. which, if they're actually a big company like it is suspected, would make sense since it gives them the very important holiday season without controversy [sp]unless my money is right and the dev works for rockstar, then they're already in the middle of a small controversy[/sp]
The more I read BW's post on twitter, the more I really, really want to send her this:

Seriously, women is fucking mental.
Lizzy's got another blog post that's certified "BTFO".

Do it.
You have literally nothing to lose on this.

Don't touch the poop
I like it when anti-GG people try to argue that what they're doing isn't censorship. For a bunch of so-called journalists and their allies, you'd think that they'd know what the fuck a "chilling effect" is and how dangerous it is.
EA's Response to the "Remove Anita from Mirror's Edge" Petition.
[quote=EA]This petition is based on inaccurate information. EA is not working with Anita Sarkeesian on development of Mirror’s Edge.[/quote]
thank god.
but you can bet your ass some EA exec is forcing DICE to use some of her "insightful critique" in their next game
[QUOTE=Keitaro;46729246]EA's Response to the "Remove Anita from Mirror's Edge" Petition.[/QUOTE]
At least we know for sure now.
But if they really did, "dumb down the game for less skilled female gamers" then I am going to die a little inside.
How could you not have known for sure before? There is literally no source nowhere, aside from the 4chan post. Don't listen and believe.

M8, that post didn't even claim to be a DICE dev or whatever, so there was literally no ground for even trusting the person posting.
[editline]17th December 2014[/editline]
Also, couldn't we have verified BEFORE going apeshit and putting up a stupid petition? This has definitely hurt GG legitimacy.

what did the petition have to do with gg? i remember seeing that 4chan post well before gg was even a thing
[QUOTE=Blueridge;46730294]what did the petition have to do with gg? i remember seeing that 4chan post well before gg was even a thing[/QUOTE]
Yeah which makes this thing all the more insane.
And maybe GG isn't related, but we all know they think it is.
I don't know exactly how related to gg it is, but @PixelGoth went nitpicking and found 8chan's perfectly legal but kind of gross and definitely [I]triggering[/I] pedo discussion board, and is bitching at patreon for not taking down 8chan's patreon page. It's probably a convoluted attempt at fucking up gamergate activity since 8chan is the GG HQ or whatever.
Either way it backfired and a lot of backers for feminists/lazy devs/artists/that bitch vivian james are pulling support because "omg patreon supports pedos". Said patreon owners are trying to damage control, it's very funny. Grace stands from her perch of financial stability(???), mad at others who have theirs crumbling under their feet [I]because of her[/I]

This got RT'd into my twitter timeline, after two or three tweets from other, smaller, more deserving artists lamenting that a move to another service is something pretty fucking hard to do, that'd probably leave them with less backers=less money=less or no time to dedicate to their art.
You know wu also got involved, and she is still being manipulative

Who the crud is referring to Brianna Wu as a "he"?
I don't give a crap if Wu is crazy, that does not invalidate her gender identity.

That's an awful board, why hasn't it been erased yet? I don't care how much 8chan supports GG that shit should be nuked off the site.
Oh look AGG is using that guilt by association tactics again.
