There is nothing honest about the views taken or the morality of this article.
"Their crime? Being involved in gaming while female."
That is where you went way off base. If you think that gamers (generalized) hate these women because they are women... than you have lost your "damn mind", or are just an ignorant, white knighting, divisional perpetuating, hate monger.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Why haven’t men in tech spoken out?
We don't want to perpetuate the trope of damsels in distress like you and your ilk have been throwing in our faces.
If we try to help we would be doing exactly what, even in your own article, you condemn us for.
At what point in time can we start considering articles like this hate speech?
"...it’s quickly shaping up to be a potent way for conservatives to reach out to previously apolitical young men and turn them into devoted, hardened misogynists."
"#GamerGate could very well help to create the next generation of opponents to women’s basic right to equality."
"That is clearly the hope of #GamerGate: to make gaming a space ...
Doesnt MS already have "First on Xbox" for all the DLC and stuff for this game?
Trying to remember back to the announcement from E3.
"There’s no redemption after that — no mending of fences. It’s over. Any shred of good anyone associated with Gamergate could do was destroyed the moment someone issued a death threat. And, there were many such threats issued to several women."
Let me just replace GamerGate with IDK...

"Its not the polish developers fault some people in america snap and go on school killing sprees blame your government for not changing a law that belongs in the 1800's."
Yes blame the government... why have personal responsibility when we can just get the government to control everything./s
Apparently you haven't played any of the RAMPAGE or Kill Frenzy missions in the GTA series where killing and destruction are exactly the POINT.
How about achievements for surviving while having a full wanted level... how do you think you get that full wanted level.
How about GTA 1, London, and 2 where you got a bonus by killing a group of people walking in the street.
Stealing cars and killing was always the point of GTA. Those who say it...
I am all for your right to not support them because of their views... but unless those views are actually in the game they hold no bearing on this topic as it is presented.
The movie Rampage comes to mind. Guy makes a kevelar suit and walks to center of town killing people at random... Sounds basically the same.
Or lets go a little more mainstream and think about The Purge movies. For 12 hours there is no laws and everything is permitted including murder. Not as graghic and focuses on other crimes but think deeper about what the Purge really is and it could be a murdering rape fest. Not to mention there are a bunch of movies about seriel killers...
They have decades of practice and litterally books with instructions on how to create movements and torpedo nay sayers. Look how the world views those who think differently than the left believes is correct. Dont believe me?
Whats the first thing tht comes to mind if I say conservative? How about Republican? Are you thinking about what principles these groups are founded on or are you thinking what the media has lead you to believe they mean. They are doing the same thing to ...
I don't understand how or why you write a story, submit a story, and are the first to comment on your OWN story.
And why the hell does it matter if the dev team is all male?
Also how does that relate to "...a second female developer had to leave her home following death threats..."
And why cant you write anything about video games and leave out your one sided, agenda driven views. Take out that first paragraph and you would alm...
READ THE GD ARTICLE!
FFS!
You are too lazy to click the link to an article but not lazy enough that you will post in the comment section.
The article explains what GamerGate is.
Where do you live where you are taxed based on items purchased and not the amount spent?
Most places that I have ever lived (Including 3 different countries) all taxed the amount spent.
If I bought ten games at 10 with a 7% tax in one shopping cart, 10 * 10 = 100, 100 + 7% tax = 107
separate that would be 10 + 7% tax = 10.7, 10.7 x 10 = 107
107 == 107
I would really like to know where there is an economy wher...
"The word Gamer now holds a more negative connotation than ever before‚ especially after the recent shooting threat related to popular feminist gaming critic Anita Sarkeesian speaking at Utah State University..."
REALLY?
Please tell me where in the threat (YOU POSTED!) is the word, gamer, gaming, gamergate, or any other reference that would even tie the threat being related to videogames. It is clearly related to her feminist ideological views. Just...
Foxtrot you are speaking to the person who thinks the term "Gamer" is bad and has written so many white night articles its almost predictable when they will come out.
@pat_11_5
I had the same line of thought after seeing you write another anti gamer article. I wish Patrick would just go away.
BINGO!
Its just so they can try to pull the GG movement further away from the original cause, in the hopes that there is a slip up and then they can tear it apart on something it was never meant to be in the first place.
Anita the "Wicked Witch" herself even claims that GG is about harassing women.
A tweet from Oct. 14th
"At this point supporting #gamergate is implicitly supporting the harassment of women in the gaming industry."
As long as people are giving her and others a soapbox to spew misinformation it will continue.
The easiest way to shut down ideas is to label them as something they are not.
I dont know where you got guilty from?
The statement of honesty was a rebuttal to your original "...an honest moral view"
I know the author wasn't looking at this topic honestly because of this line here: "Their crime? Being involved in gaming while female." In the context to the reason these people are being harassed is purely based on the fact that they are women. Not their actions, methods, or ideology, just that they are females wh...
