"But why Giant Bomb?"
Patrick Kleppek. The staff doesn't give a shit about him but keep him around because he posts all the news while leaving actual journalistic work to others.
Oh and, he's Literally Who's (ZQ) buddy.
"Felicia Day wrote a piece called "Crossing the Street"
In which she moronically claimed that she used to be able to talk to random strangers she saw on the street, just because they wore game/gaming related t-shirts and now she can't because "G-GamerGate is evil!".
It was one of the most moronic pieces of drivel I have ever read.
"As a matter of fact, whacked-out gamers that feel threatened by a discussion of a harmless subject..."
"harmless subject"
Using blatant lies to push harmful agendas to further your scamming career isn't, in any shape or form, harmless.
Nobody is afraid of the "female representations in gaming" talk. But when you start using cherry picked scenes and do your best to misrepresent them so you can throw mud at de...
"harrassing people"
Show me one proof that a "non egg/non intentional troll account that was denounced by #GamerGate" harrassing someone while using the tag and I will stop supporting it immediately.
Literally Wu's "proof" was screencaps of some random moron who got a specific Twitter account just for the purpose of tweeting her flimsy threats and none of them used the hashtag.
What these people, and people l...
This dreck is written by Stillgray, aka Ian Miles Cheong. The man who was kicked from Reddit for being corrupt and also known for being a notorious neo-nazi.
Ignore and move on.
And also; not defending the guy for what he's said or anything but he's admitted to being vitriolic and using Gawker style writing back in the day a couple of days ago and said he's sorry for them but not gonna be silenced because of it. So, this isn't anything new.
"Your comparing apples and oranges."
I thought men and women were equal? So it's okay for a group of men (which, isn't even the case when it comes to #GamerGate) to be called "misogynist hatemongers!" but not others to be called out on their bullshit just because they happen to be women?
GET. OUT!
"there are some other things coming up... ugly things."
This is coming from one of the people who dropped the "GameJournoPros mailing list" bomb. And now I'm hyped...
If it had a leadership, it'd be ripe for the picking by the same exact people who condemn it, solely by attacking the supposed leader's personality and beliefs and projecting them onto #GamerGate.
And on the issue of "get a new hashtag!"; we've recently passed the 1.5 million tweets mark and managed to get Mercedes-Benz to drop their ad support for Gawker after they revealed their pro-stance on bullying on LGBT bullying awarness month.
W...
"she's isn't the scary demoness that some make her out to be."
I don't think anybody claimed that she was. More like a scam artist who's being manipulated by her extreme leftist boyfriend Jonathan McIntosh, who regularly claims that videogames cause people to be violent on his Twitter.
And using XOXO, an SJW festival that looks like it came straight out of They Live, with "LISTEN AND BELIEVE!" banners and all that, as an ex...
"I would have loved to hear what she had to say"
bla bla bla bla bla bla "I was threatened".
bla bla bla bla bla bla "muh-soggy-knee".
bla bla bla bla bla bla "I am a stronk feminist wymyn".
bla bla bla bla bla bla "Bayonetta is 2sexy4me and it's wrong!!!!!!!!!"
There, you can rest easy now...
There are more than 300 million gamers around the world and you're using the "kids who play CoD are harassing women!" excuse to blame GamerGate?
Stunning logic, as always...
The only bullshit here is your pointless comment. If you do not care about GamerGate, then you are free to not read and ignore anything that's related to it. Nobody's forcing it down your throat.
"I mean WHO CARES ?"
Tens of thousands of people do at the least.
" Can't we just play games and not give a single f*ck what they think about us ?"
We've been doing that for decades and look where ...
Answer to that has always been simple; GamerGate is about "journalistic integrity". It's not about what a bunch of YouTube vloggers/let's players push to their dumb, "LEL BROFIST GUIZ" spouting moronic audience. Is it unethical that they're doing such a thing? Yes. Is it related to GamerGate? No.
But of course, much like "GamerGate hates wymyn and is muhsoggykneestic!" crap, they're also trying to push this onto us to make us look...
I wish agenda pushing clueless "journalists" (journalists should have had 16 more quotation marks around it) like Pat would go away.
I especially love the Joss "The Hack" Whedon's embedded tweet. We should listen to his, Seth Rogen and Patton Oswalt's bullshit about GamerGate because they're celebrities, right? Because I love it when unrelated, irrelevant celebrities comment about shit they have no idea about, just to appear "open minded&q...
"This has everything to do with her being a woman."
Fantastic argument there mate. You sure showed him. /s
"And "Thing is, most of the shit Zoe is being called for" never actually happened."
One side has circumstantial evidence in the form of an ex boyfriend publishing chatlogs of her.
Other side has "LOL U NERDBOIZ ARE STOOHPEEHD! I AIN'T DID ANY OF DAT LOLZ xD LOZERZ!" "argument".
If you think a devastating portion of the accusations toward her are baseless and "never happened", just because ...
"Current Gen only is seeming more likely."
Not gonna happen unless Rockstar wants to get sued for lying about an unreleased product. Heists were shown in the first Online trailer released back in August 2013. They have no choice but to release them on current gen.
"Relationship Meters"
So much for the "meaningful" relationships. It looks like this is going to be another case of "spam gifts, get pathetic looking clothed sex scene" again.
It's not gonna be heists. People have been waiting so long for them, at this point it'd be stupid for Rockstar to not announce it before release. Although they'd most likely announce it a few days before release and not weeks in case they have to delay it again.
It's probably another small scale GTA Online DLC. Possibly even smaller than the Flight School one we've got more than a month ago.
>a #GamerGate supporter gets a fake account called "Gaimerg8" to release personal info of a sh*tty celebrity
That's totally not an obvious troll and obviously a member of the movement, cause it says there in the name! Right?
You can do better...
