For me, that would be:

Unfortunately, at the end you do the very thing you claim to despise.
"Your defense is at best redundant and at worst irrelevant to this discussion."
From your blog: "Too often on the Internet people will blindly dismiss criticism because it's targeted at something they like"
That last sentence is blindly dismissing what I claim and in your words mine is "a useless argument."
But you take a t...
So, in essence, you're now stating that if I don't agree with you it makes my argument redundant and irrelevant.
The story is the story. I have never argued with anyone that claims they don't like the story. I have only ever argued with people who claim that the story is unintelligible.
Those are two different things. You claim the plot is barebones. In fact that is about all you claim about the story.
I don't. And perhap...
I see you use "repeat what others claim about the game instead of coming up with my own conclusions" argumentative fallacy/SARCASM
I've see that before. I sincerely doubt the millions that are playing this game for hours on end are "disappointed."
It's called hiding in plain sight. Google it if you don't believe.
ATTENTION MASS MEDIA: If you want to talk to a woman that understands gaming and feminism, please, PLEASE, speak with Maddy Myers (and perhaps the other 1000+ women involved in the industry.)
Stop focusing on one person.
Awesome article, well written, researched and argued. +1

@Shaun But that forest must be outside the confines of a country that uses public money to fund national defense, capiche?
Or are you one of those parrotsheeps that just echos what others say without any actual thought?
True. But, for me, I listed the reasons that this game is fun.
And in the end, that is what gaming should be. I admit, I love Dragon Quest games. I love grinding and leveling up my character. To me, that is fun.
I agree. There is nothing progressive about her.
You had me until the weird "leftist" comment. What has that got to do with integrity in news media?
If you look at the US as an example, the more "rightist" media has the least integrity. I know republicans and conservatives that refuse to watch anything from Fox News.
I just find that comment to be really weird as I consider myself to be a leftist and a liberal (but in the more European sense) but I am in support of gamergate and I ca...
I just countered her claims.
1) That isn't feminism. Anita isn't a feminist. To call her one is actually insulting to feminists. "You also have a poor understanding of feminism." Anita certainly has a poor understanding of it, as you say. I am certainly more well versed in feminism than she is currently. Not that she can't learn about it. But I know what it is. I know what feminists do because I support them.
2) I did not say she...
She raises points? Other than blanket statements aimed at an entire industry? She isn't just another internet troll?
When she first started her kickstarter and got flak, I had no problem standing up for her. She wanted to understand gaming and all that went with it. But, she isn't a feminist. She isn't a SJW, she isn't anything really. She just complains and complains but won't actually DO anything. All she does is opinions.
If sh...
Well, it is hilarious. You walk around with this Jack O' Lantern head. There are cool little sound effects that go with it.
But one thing that blew me away, was walking in (on the Cosmodrome) on an epic battle between the Hive and the Fallen. Where we always see maybe a five on five or so.
Instead, I was facing multiple Servitors, Wizards, and all sorts of "Yellow" enemies. And it was insane. I eventually overwhelmed them (after dying twice...

Not one bit. I game, often. And there are games that I love to play. Some of them are the most "controversial." However, like you, I will determine when my child is ready to play a game that may be more mature.
For instance, my children can play Destiny but they can't play Demon's Souls. They can play LittleBigPlanet but not Manhunt.
It isn't because those games will harm them, it is because I don't think they are mature enough ...
So, if I'm reading you right, then we can come to the conclusion that, as long as someone has an opinion, and can justify that opinion, then their claim can be equal to yours. Even negative reviews?
I, of course, don't agree with your assessment of Destiny because I am loving the game. And it isn't just one thing: I love raiding with my clan, doing strikes or crucible with my clan.
I love searching out bounties and doing public events. I also ...
Was expecting something funny. Was highly disappointed.
Why won't mainstream media interview people that are actually involved in gamergate like Jennie Bharaj, Georgina Young, and Jemma Morgan?
Instead, we get rehash after rehash, only talking to a few people who have their own agenda. Why not talk to women who actually make the games?
