Hey, enough of you were not in the know I figured I'd explain it.
Dvader said:Aspro, wonderful summary.
Thank you.
Yeah thanks, I'm just bailing cause it all sounds so stupid.
After reading this...I still don't fully understand. So some dumb bitch slept with somebody for a favorable review...pretty sure this kind of thing happens all the time for all sorts of gain. Then it turns into this big conspiracy that all gamers are white rapists? LOL...hilarious and full on retaarded.
BTW...why is it said the actor Baldwin from Firefly was the one who came up with the "gamergate" term? Just that term alone is hilarious.
Tim Shaefer on Gamergate:
Thanks for the bump Edge.
Got to see that Colin Farrel gif again

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileSo now I guess anytime somebody says something dumb online and connects a "#" to it, it is going to start a giant stereotype campaign to describe whole groups of people.
Pfft.
the Media
Feminism
Games journalism
Which was already a collection of things bubbling over from Anita Sarkeesian, but it didn't quite hit the tipping point.
And the unfortunate effect that had was the misogynistic portion taking out their frustrations with regard to the media and journalism on the women tied to them. There is a serious problem there which is how it could get so ridiculous in the first place. Unfortunately until there's a cultural shift, it'll be impossible to have a civil discussion about any aspects.

Funny this came up again because I read the story about the controversy surrounding Tim Schaefer's joke at a GDC event and then read it again because I could not figure out exactly who was offended by what anymore.
At this stage I don't know which side has become more offensive or vigilant, I've just stayed off twitter and avoided anything surrounding the issue as best I can, because as far as I can see it doesn;t really have anything to do with my interest in gaming.
Agreed. Not to judge people on the basis of their appearance or anything.
