Uhh source?

TBV, yo

Interesting. I'll be interested to see if we get any more information on this.

[URL]https://twitter.com/news12li[/URL] not there, gamergate hashtag not highlighted in pic like it should. 0/10

I had a quick look and couldn't find that tweet on their feed. [url]https://twitter.com/News12LI?lang=en[/url] Correct me if I'm wrong. [editline]11th January 2015[/editline] I like how the twitter feed never has any more than 10 retweets, but the one in the image got 500 in a few minutes.

I mean what can you do.. Apparently ethics in gaming journalism is actually really popular after all.

i fucking love checking my facts and sources does anyone else love doing research

[QUOTE=Wootman;46903193][img]http://i.imgur.com/VLL9c30.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Uh, that "Delete" button would only be visible to whoever made the tweet. So either Long Island News 12 is screencapping its' own tweets and posting them somewhere, or someone made a fake tweet.

I'm getting a pretty hard social experiment vibe from all this, Wootman.

woot "i define the word gullible" man

In this case probably not that deep. Make fake tweet, post, enjoy chaos

are we meant to have a knee-jerk reaction or

That seems like a pretty pityful attempt at a trap to get us to jump at it without checking up on it. (Wootman's fake tweet)

[QUOTE=Wootman;46903246]..How deep does this get? The rabbithole never ends..[/QUOTE] Didn't get the response he expected AND debunked in record time, this level of ownage probably falls under sexual harrassment But the salt is so sweet

Check out Milo's feed: [url]https://twitter.com/Nero/status/554309365046718464[/url] [url]https://twitter.com/Nero/status/554310265752539137[/url] [url]https://twitter.com/Nero/status/554311922968182786[/url] [url]https://twitter.com/Nero/status/554314217252458498[/url] [url]https://twitter.com/Nero/status/554317447789293568[/url] Quinn included Milo in her police reports and claimed that he facilitated the spread of her personal information/photoshoot through his podcast. Smells like perjury to me.

If I remember correctly she committed perjury three times in writing in that thing alone. She can probably expect a nasty fine at the very least.

When did people start obsessing over other people's genitals Will we get to a point where people are going to start a conversation asking if I have a dick before they decide whether or not they want to talk to me

[QUOTE=Wii60;46905889]"A place where women can feel safe and not always overwhelmed by male [B]advice, criticisms and explanations[/B]"[/QUOTE] Those are all positive things that only help you improve, regardless of whether or not the person giving said advice/criticism/explanations has a dick or not. Without advice from someone knowledgeable, taking an unknown risk is always more likely to end badly. Without criticism, the likelihood of being aware of your efforts' flaws and how to fix them is lowered drastically. Without explanations, coming to understand any concept is significantly more difficult. It means jack shit whether it comes from a male or not, those three things they're trying to be "safe" from are nothing but helpful, and might even be necessary to having any efforts turn out well. Of course, not like it matters, all these kinds of idiots want is another personal echo chamber in which to hide from the nasty realities of the world.

They'll all end up toxic and hateful. I bet within weeks they'll be accusing any dissenters of being male.

[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;46906030]When did people start obsessing over other people's genitals Will we get to a point where people are going to start a conversation asking if I have a dick before they decide whether or not they want to talk to me[/QUOTE] It is depressingly Ironic that some of those crusading against sexism support and advocate it.

[QUOTE=JesseR92;46906308]It is depressingly Ironic that some of those crusading against sexism support and advocate it.[/QUOTE] "It's not segregation guys! We just want to protect black people from racist white scum!" A simple analogy would be sufficient to show them how irrelevant their conduct is.

[QUOTE=JesseR92;46906308]It is depressingly Ironic that some of those crusading against sexism support and advocate it.[/QUOTE] Who said they're crusading against sexism? Nah, they just don't like the system that's currently there and would much rather have it replaced with their own version.

[QUOTE=JesseR92;46906308]It is depressingly Ironic that some of those crusading against sexism support and advocate it.[/QUOTE] It's kinda like that political horseshoe that when one leans to much over to one side they end up obliviously supporting the other. Just worded differently

[QUOTE=_Axel;46906321]"It's not segregation guys! We just want to protect black people from racist white scum!"[/QUOTE] This is an actual thing; not even kidding. Chu, Chong and Lees have all made public posts saying literally this.

[QUOTE=27X;46906399]This is an actual thing; not even kidding. Chu, Chong and Lees have all made public posts saying literally this.[/QUOTE] Have these people opened a history book once in their lives?

Probably not.
