I've seen the TB post about it, and yes the video seemed fairly even handed about it, I seem to recall it being against harassment while also decrying false DMCA claims which, based on what little I know about this, seems to have been what happened. I've seen too the comment graveyard in that...

Okay, so here I'm going to ask a question about the whole censorship thing, and I swear I'm not just trying to be a dick about this, but it's essentially to do with how I keep seeing this issue being set up. Why, in your mind, did the censorship happen? Is it because all these public fora...

...but I feel you can make it look better. While I think your comment rather unfairly characterizes much of the criticism being offered, and that attacking people for mockery is non-productive for either side of any argument, your point is taken. Presuming your sincere intent to ask what...

Igh... a piece-by-piece 4-part response. See, this is why I don't do forums usually, that's just an ugly way to structure an argument. My broad point about the "what makes you special" comment had to do with the idea that judging a person as a villain because they said an awful thing in anger...

You literally quoted me saying the hitler tweet was bad, then asked why I didn't condemn it. You quoted me quoting him and his fantasy about decapitating a mans corpse to shit in it, and insisted I was engaging in ad hominem over his avatar alone. Shall I repeat myself? The "Hitler Tweet"...

Oh good, they're back to calling their critics "Marxists" again. Like sane people do. I like the quote further up the page, though, intended to be about SJWs: I don't like to be pithy and say "submitted without comment" and such, but honestly, what else can you say to that?

The HumbleBundle thing is getting weird now, before it was because they were associated with some sort of unsubstantiated fraud thing involving paypal. Now the weekly bundle has this Girls Making Games thing which is positive, but even there it looks like they're trying to find reasons to hate...

And now we're back to blind rage at some random jackass on twitter who compared Gate to Nazis. Which yeah, stupid, awful, obviously trollish thing to do, but when you've got a guy with an avatar that reads "Major Butthurt Reporting for Duty" uses it as a jumping off point to respond...

Well that's fair enough for maybe one article or two, but this makes the, I think, fifth article in two weeks they've put out about it, it feels like they're trying to be perceived as keeping up on it but sticking in what now feels like its distant past somehow. Again, it's valid to point out...

The goblin of cynicism that lives in my brain knows too well how infrequently things like this work out, but never let it be said I didn't try. I don't remember a time I was ever not playing video games. I'm sure there must have been a time when I naturally wasn't, but I became attached early...

Latest in the Gator mega: Humor website is proof of global media ineptitude, while a blatantly political newspaper who writes an article that uses the term "Feminazi" in the title without a trace of irony? That's the journalistic integrity we've been talking about! Athough I will say I...

Serves me right, I leave the thread for the evening to try and have some kind of life and it gets overrun shouting down dissent all over again. Dunno why I expected any different, really. Reading the megathread is just silly at this point, they're back on attacking Sterling over godknowswhat...

Fair enough, and good of you to say. To the point of your post, however, why is the assumption that all these other devs didn't come to their opinions honestly? Is it impossible that they, like much of us, reached a negative opinion of Gamergate through our interaction with it, rather than in...

You know, I don't even care that I'm not reading through your tedious textwall. You came here and didn't want to participate in an active conversation on equal terms, and tell yourself you made a positive difference because you re-posted an essay you just posted to the megathread. That level of...

And with the Escapist's recent article on female Gamedevs discussing Gamergate, I imagine they're destined for the blacklist once again. I see they're already losing their minds about it a little, they dare not patronize an establishment that dares to impugn them in the slightest, after all...
