Can someone accurately explain GameGate in a sentence? - Page 9

Did not read thread, will still offer my insight:

I don't know what gamergate is. I've only seen it mentioned here on Project99, and it seemed like something Kagatob was passionate about. A simple rule to live by is this: if a subject is important to Kagatob, it's irrelevant and I can safely ignore it.

Well, clearly the community feels attacked. Like I said, there's a lot of history of the industry as a whole being attacked for bullshit reasons by the Christian crusade and such, so you do have to consider the context: when people start criticizing the industry, the proponents of that industry are used to reacting defensively and attacking back.

Not saying that it's justified, but if you want to understand it then that history is crucial to remember.

it definitily isnt justified... but yea I can see your point.

Also these are all people that have been getting kicked around since they were like 7 years old cus they are complete social retards.

Somebody needs to get laid... Specifically these women. Send them all my way, Kagatob. Justice will prevail.

I'll also offer them cooking lessons as a side project, but they will have to pay money for my time.

Also, for the record, Anita Sarkeziwhathefuckever, can say what ever she wants about the industry and the genre. It's just like...her opinion..man. But isn't she the woman who raised 150k in kickstarter and produced like 3 videos with tenuous research on the subject? Or is that another idiot?

150k should get you at least a start in regards to a vetted, fact filled, study on the issues with the industry. Not calling games out because strippers exist and can be shot. Strippers can be shot like half a mile away from my house too. I don't see guns akimbo at the Diamond's Club everynight.

You know whats a real issue with society?

I had 3 bigots who work in the office next to me call Tim Cook ( the most successful person to come out of my hometown) a "domestic terrorist" (an honest to god quote) because he entreats upon the idea of a traditional family and he steps on "moral" values due to the fact that he is gay. These three assholes use the code "Democrats" to refer to black people ( when they aren't calling them outright ******s).

THIS is a real problem you Human Paraquat's.

Fuck you all... Sidelle call me bitch.

I don't disagree with anything you just wrote. Quite the contrary, I think we're on the same page [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Look, the loudest voices on both sides of these debates are always the ones that get the most attention. But I really don't think anyone in this thread hates women, wants to see women get threatened with rape or death, or otherwise wishes to see the female gender kept out of the industry.

I just think that when people get too caught up in stuff that matters to them they can lose their empathy for others in the process. And I think a lot of that has happened with GamerGate.
