its because he's holding a glass?
well spotted
To be fair, he's holding a glass in his hand. At least I think, that's his hand.

If this was the other way around, Obama would be holding a speech about it this very moment
Don't get me wrong, it's disgusting everybody is pretty much [I]ignoring[/I] this, but what can you expect from shit tier online journalism[/QUOTE]
The other way around has happened, though. Anita had a bomb threat against her when she went to speak at a college. I don't remember any presidential speeches surrounding that.

Instead they got to state that GamerGate is a hate group to [I]fucking Congress.[/I]

All I've heard about that after the fact was that she never reported the bomb threat to the police which seems very suspect.

tl;dr as I understand it: GG are the ones calling out gaming journalism for corruption. A lot of people being called out on it hide behind/are sjw's and say they're being persecuted for their gender and/or belief instead of engaging in debate about the nature of journalism in a capitalistic reviewing system.[/QUOTE]

Although to be clear, while most cerintly we have MRAs joining us on the movement (and with that, most assurably the more scummy aspects of MRA in there too) they definetly don't represent the movement as a whole.
Gamerghazi? SJWs (and with that, the scummy aspects of SJW too!) represent them.

[/QUOTE]You misspelled gamergate there
Honestly, nobody knows for sure what GamerGazi want. They just sit there in that small subreddit and spit venom at everyone and everything.

That's an obvious point since no single group can represent an open movement as a whole.

Well you can be pro-gamergate and also support female representation in video games.
I don't really understand what all this gender bullshit has to do with the whole debate about ethics in video games stuff tbh. There's no point in lumping those completely unrelated issues together.
[QUOTE=Crimor;47645115]All I've heard about that after the fact was that she never reported the bomb threat to the police which seems very suspect.[/QUOTE]
It was reported to police, but after investigation they deemed the threat to not be credible. She chose to cancel the speech anyway because what a story.

The corrupt indies and journalist sites decided to use gender bullshit as a scape goat so they can get off scot free and smear the reputation of anyone who called the out on corruption as sexists and racists and what not.
Arthur who?

Im really curious of what goes on in your brain. What kind of world do you live in?
[QUOTE=kweh;47644730]Don't forget anti ggers hiding behind shady deals, like the Zoe Quinn debacle that went from people fiding out that she slept with like 5 different people for good reviews[/QUOTE]
People still believe this shit? lol
Let me just favorite this page so I can add it to the list of shit I should show the next person trying to get me to join either side.
[QUOTE=itisjuly;47645298]And it worked damn well.[/QUOTE]
seems to me that people are finally getting sick of it. It was a boiling pot and its starting to overflow now. Way too many people are trying to jump on that ship and everyone else is tired of it and seeing how bullshit it is.
No point, people have proven in the past that her ex was a psycho who lied, but GG'rs on this website don't give a shit about the truth.
That's just my perspective anyway, I don't give a shit what you all do with your free time.
[QUOTE=Swilly;47645072]Instead they got to state that GamerGate is a hate group to [I]fucking Congress.[/I][/QUOTE]
It was a congressional briefing, literally anyone can do it. Its absolutely nothing and they wouldnt be the first group of idiots to waste their time. Think of it as a pitch, and what they pitched was a really really shitty and funny product.
A congressional hearing is the serious one and theirs no way gamergate would ever get to one.

Welp nevermind shit guess I'm a Gamergater because I mean what else do you call dumbshits that try to (and succeed at) removing GTAV from store shelves [B]for the [highlight]sole[/highlight] reason that there are hookers in the game?[/B]

Which EX?
If you are talking about Eron who made the Zoe post then you are a real piece of shit since hes gotten the worst out of this whole thing.
If you mean her ex before Eron then you are right but what does this even matter? Zoe still did all that horrible shit to Eron and has been caught lying so badly multiple times. Even just recently lying in a congressional briefing and slandering Mike Cenovich.
How can you say people who follow GG on this site dont give a shit about the truth? We all know of Zoes ex prior to Eron being shit and have since like September 2014, The fact theirs been a FP thread about it for nearly a year with people constantly finding stuff and fact checking kind of makes your point and perspective really worthless and ignorant.

Even though that was never proved? And it was in fact proved that Quinn is an abuser with a history of abuse.
