That this shit has taken over the internet to such extend is still something so incredibly pathetic. And it shows no signs of stopping, and no internet companies are even trying to protect their users against this harassment. I didn't really take notice of gamergate at the start, but fuck, that really was the point where the assholes came out and went into full harassment mode. It was already there to some extend, but afterwards they didn't even try to hide it anymore.2014,
A conflict started by a jilted ex, has set alight the flame of the internet and has developed into a full blown culture war between the right and the left.
It's now 2017
The war still isn't over. Thousands have been harassed and and abused. The Internet has gone mad. The world has gone mad.
not a drive-by, anita is not a person that wants to make video game better, she does this in order to make money. it really is that simple. yet people on this site are always ready to keep giving her more.
what about dem facts tho idk idkAnita does critical commentary for money
Sargon runs a harrassment campaign
spot the difference
sitting quietly in a room and hearing what your opposition has to say is a bad thing?
I mean it's clearly both? For a living she's trying to make games better... just like every other internet critic who gets funded through patreon or kickstarter or whatever.
It's funny, she's criticized for making money by giving (their definition of) shitty criticisms and feminist viewpoints... while they make money for giving (actual) shitty criticisms and mysoginistic viewpoints.
I had to step down to some dumbass levels to get my point across since some people believe if you ain't doin it for free ya heart ain't in itIs she doing it out of the goodness of her heart? No. It's a job, she's getting paid, AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
Like everyone you like on twitch or youtube with very little exception is doing it because they're getting paid.

She's heard what they have to say, over and over again, for years.
If only there was a forum, a forum with an OP, that specifically bolded the part where they clearly laid out their motives. Gee what a world that would be. I genuinely chose the best sections of the article to quote in the OP:sitting quietly in a room and hearing what your opposition has to say is a bad thing?
And before we get the usual suspects saying "Maybe they actually were there to have a debate?" Not having it ITT!
Dave Cullen lounges on what appears to be a bed in a hotel room, pointing a camera at himself. He looks tired and slightly pleased with himself. He is an ally of Benjamin's, a fellow YouTuber who makes a full-time living feeding the internet's appetite for masculine fear and hurt.
He was there, he says, at the VidCon Sarkeesian session. As he speaks, he claims that the first three rows were taken up by allies. (These allies have co-opted an internet term of derision to describe themselves: shitlords. They are generally identified by their hostility to progressives and to "social justice warriors.")
He goes on to talk about how these allies coordinated among themselves at the event. "We carefully organized this so that on one side of the audience we would all make up the top three rows," he says. ”We would all be sitting there filming it," he adds, before naming several allies. "Anita spoke. And they were asking about why is it important to still have women talking about sexism or some victim bullshit in video games." He recounts Sarkeesian's comments.
He repeatedly claims the group is there to "engage" with Sarkeesian, but later, he says something very different.
"We had a blast with this. It was such an adrenaline high to be there in the situation, to shit-post, in this trolling kind of way." He goes on to claim there was "no malice" in their actions and that it was ”playful."[

For the record, anyone who says "lol Sargon was just sitting and looking at her, that's not harassment" needs to do some research on what harassment is.
Going out of your way to sit in the front row of a talk for someone whom you have called a number of horrible slurs in the past and staring at her with a knowing smirk is 110% harassment. That's an intimidation tactic. He's trying to make her afraid to speak in public. Anyone who thinks otherwise is fooling themselves.
I get that, but in this specific scenario calling him out just boosted his platform. I would say that ignoring the fact he was there period would have left him in relative obscurity. That being said I'm sure they both will profit from the whole shakedown.

It's not wrong to get some compensation for fighting for equality. That does not make her a money-hungry bitch who is only doing it for Teh Munnies.not a drive-by, anita is not a person that wants to make video game better, she does this in order to make money. it really is that simple. yet people on this site are always ready to keep giving her more.
Feminist Frequency is a non-profit. Sarkeesian does make money but that's because it's her job.
Meanwhile GamerGate edgelords on Patreon pocket most of what they make to spend on skull-themed decor or whatever.

God i love Neogaf, have a different opinion get banned.
i will get banned for this
And what does all the games have in common? they under performed compared to there other counterparts.
Diversity is all good and well but diversity does not equal to good game.
Instead of giving so much attention to reaching a diversity quota they should focus on making the good game instead.

The humanity of women, black persons, and transgender persons is not up for debate. Why would anyone want to entertain a dude that has his banner set to him dancing with a photoshopped pic of Anita? He's a fucking stalker, not a debater.

Oh look, you're one of those "Diversity is all good and well but..." guys. I'm shocked by this.
And you're back, so not a drive-by; you've proven me wrong.
Just a shitty post then.
See, this is where we get into dishonest territory.
There is no way you honestly believe this is what was happening and the intention of those that attended.
It's the fact that THEY don't even believe it is the craziest part. Like it's in the OP. The usual suspects can't get away with that kind of disingenuous logic this time. And yet they're still trying.See, this is where we get into dishonest territory.

It just finally clicked for me.
These are children.
These aren't intellectual debaters or master hackers we're dealing with. These are fucking children we are dealing with. 4th graders. These are children so mentally and emotionally stunted, the only thing that seems "fun" to them anymore is hurting other people because seeing someone else upset is all part of their game.
If I wasn't so disgusted by these pieces of shit, I'd almost feel sad for them.
say what you want, but anita and the rest of her group do not want to help games become better, look at japan, manga, anime and games are doing great. yet they are not going about shitting on people, insulting the fans and asking for special treatment because they are women, they make good products and the fans repay them with respect and admiration.
Yet in the west it's not like that, if a woman should make a game and it's shit people like you are the 1st to defend the game and deflect any criticism, calling it harassment or misogyny
Who gives a shit? There are people making way more for doing far less that are universally beloved in this crazy headspace of a fandom and no one cares. Why is she the outlier?
You just now realized that these people are children?It just finally clicked for me.

guys all I'm saying is that if some guys harass you and endanger you and your family and try to make your life a living hell for years maybe all you have to do is sit down quietly and listen like a good little woman
Also like someone pointed out earlier, planning to go to the speech of someone you've been harassing for years just to sit down and look smugly at her is some psychopath shit.
