it's funny because all anyone does is link what he says. in context.

Aren't they just linking to his tweets?Libel is libel, if he can prove what was said was outright lies and defamation of character he has every right to lawyer up.
Would you want people dragging your name through the mud?

A panelist from the GG related panel that Zoe Quinn talked about is now telling the speakers of the anti-harassment panel to lawyer up:
"SavePoint: A Discussion on the Gaming Community" and "Level Up: Overcoming Harassment in Games."
If that's the truth then why would he need lawyers?
'HOW DARE YOU POINT OUT SOMETHING I SAID!'

That's what amazes me about GG.
They rant about censorship and freedom of speech, but then when someone speaks out against a GGer or the movement, they immediately move to threaten/sue/censor them.
GG likes excuses for sending people to moon jail.If that's the truth then why would he need lawyers?

Man, this is depressing. What has our hobby come to?
I know this isn't their fault, but there is a little irony in a anti-harassment panel getting shut down over harassment, albeit death threats (as many like to pretend for some reason that these things don't happen and aren't common forms of harassment). Also a little strange about the panels they ARE allowing. Makes you wonder if there are motives we aren't hearing about.

Disgusting.
On the plus side, the panel made a point that this shit exists without the panel actually taking place.
Man, this is depressing. What has our hobby come to?
Well I think it was said best above. There's no forum for these individuals, only the wild expanses of Twitter, and those are at best the wild bleating of a supine mountain goat. I just feel like we here at NeoGAF, as a forum, need to do something about this.
I've had the topic about this with my wife, and she feels I have no place in this discussion. Because I'm not a feminist. And why am I not a feminist? Because I'm a man, and in her opinion, every man has the intrinsic belief that women are inferior. It's written in our genetic code. And thus, we can't be on the side of Anita Sarkessian and the anti-harassment front because, put quite simply, we're not women.
This greatly upsets me, because everyone is making this out to be a gender issue. It is, yes, but the fact of the matter is, when you are harassed, based whether it be your gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, fuck, even your choice of favorite developer, console or smartphone, it's not cool. And I'm goddamn sick of it.
Jesus, I've been mocked for being a Nintendo fan. MERCILESSLY. I've had death threats, saying I live in my mom's basement, never met a woman (happily married 3 years), never had sex (first child coming in January, do the math), I'm not sayng that what's happening to me is anywhere near on par this situation, I'm just saying that harassment is everywhere, and it's time to stop it.
I'm surprised people are still surprised at the basic ignorance of your common Gator.
We're talking about GG here. These are the same people that tried to have Zoe Quinn arrested for treason for speaking at a UN Panel on harassment (using an ancient US law about consorting with foreign governments).
GG likes excuses for sending people to moon jail.
My experience from seeing the amount of times people have threatened lawsuits during GamerGate is this sort of legal retribution is way easier said than done. Nothing ever seems to hit the courts and it just comes across more as scare tactics than anything else.It's exhausting to try and comprehend. If these people on the gamergate panel have been proven to be harassing people then get the damn cops or sue their ass!
Really don't blame SXSW for just wanting absolutely nothing to do with this
Has anyone got any evidence he's just talking out of his ass?
I mean if this is another case of gamergate idiocy then nail the dude on his bullshit. Simply dismissing him out of hand doesn't sit right with me.
I see a whole lot of shit flinging whenever this topic comes up but never any names linked to actual events. just anonymous accounts and amorphous terms like the 'SJW's' and the 'MRA's'
It's exhausting to try and comprehend. If these people on the gamergate panel have been proven to be harassing people then get the damn cops or sue their ass!
I just wish ignoring the whole situation would make it go away, but it's been more than a year now and this stuff keeps cropping up.
Everyone in GamerGate who isn't a loon eventually gets out of it.
So is every pro-gamergate person a loon or is this just the work of a select few? I keep seeing shit like this and it's sad, annoying and childish.
Given you don't even seem to know what he's claiming to need the lawyer for it's weird that you're going to bat for him so much.
I do have to respectfully disagree with your wife, men can absolutely be feminists. (The intrinsic belief that women are inferior is absolutely not written into a man's genetic code, either.) Continue being awesome, dude!
Surely if this guy was going to be on the gamergate panel, he wouldn't be dumb enough to make shit up about the people on the other panel saying "not nice thing about me" to the level it would require lawyers, it would completely undermine his efforts.
"Equating the harassers with the victims" is a great way of putting it. Just another example of men having a leg up on women in all areas of our society.
Not sure what you're going for. The tweet you linked to is some random guy, not the guy making the complaint, and also goes directly against the panelist's story, that it was another panelist that is slagging him off, as Quinn is not one of the panelists.
I'm under the impression that the organizers just don't want to deal with situations this charged and controversial, especially when threats are involved. They just washed their hands and went back to safer topics.
It is cowardly because it is enabling, but that's life.
A panelist from the GG related panel that Zoe Quinn talked about is now telling the speakers of the anti-harassment panel to lawyer up:
People might also forget that this happened. I can only imagine that prepping for death and bomb threats would balloon the security budget. One of the larger industry get togethers would probably be a more realistic venue to make it happen if people are going to act like complete nut jobs.
