So this chick apparently had nothing to do with the actual movement and was just an attention whore.

Subpar source, but there it is.
[QUOTE=CapellanCitizen;48424120]I've seen white people burning cities because they won or lost a hockey match[/QUOTE]
To be fair tho, those riots tend to be multi-racial. White people/black people/Asians/Hispanics/you name it, all come together into a big ball of stupidity that leaves half the town in ruins.

But it's easier to just be racist and say "Just white people did that!"
I was there, in the midst of the city during the riots.
It was multi racial as fuck, but of course, only white people live in Vancouver, only white people care about hockey, and only white people riot!
Here's post on Fark that sums it up pretty nicely:

Fark still exists?
[QUOTE=lavacano;48422084]I'm convinced that MRAs and GG started with good intentions by good people, but were quickly taken over by really undesirable people (fedora-sporting neckbeards and the "no gurls allowed" club respectively).
Shit like "why does the man always get shit on in child custody debates" is actually pretty reasonable, but MRAs only seem to get their dander up when women ask for more time to recover from maternity. Shit like "we're pretty sure IGN just gives 10s to whoever gives them money" is actually pretty reasonable, but GG only seems to get noisy when a woman character does something other than be a walking sex toy. It's not the first time this sort of thing happened. Hell, the Republicans used to be the more liberal of the two US parties. When shit like this happens, there's no point in continuing with your tainted label. It's best to just move on.
The original tenets of the MRA thing (child custody and similar) are actually covered by rational feminism. I can't think of a group that seeks to do what GG was originally doing before it decided to become the Feminism Hate Machine. Or you could just avoid the whole "labels" thing in the first place and force people to actually listen to your opinion; that's what I'm doing these days.[/QUOTE]
Its not even worth it with the whole GG thing because no matter what a supporter says it just takes one asshole to ruin it.
And then we have to deal with it, for fucking ever, because people in this day and age cannot handle 'well I don't support everything in it but I definitely support most of the things.'
