How have I proven that? I only post on these boards on average maybe a few times a month. I've barely interacted with you. What on earth are you going on about? Stroke my ego? I think you are terrible person? You weren't born the way my "little friends" want you to be? With all due...

You've claimed that there exists unhinged people that every word she says is gospel. If these people actually exist (and you concede that I'm not one of these people) then where are they? I can fully believe that "Anita is the greatest" and you could independently verify what you claim is the...

Where are these people that take every word that she says as gospel? Show them to me. Show me these unhinged people. But it isn't true. People have agency. If they doxx someone that is their own responsibility: not somebody elses. Especially someone that is not on record as advocating...

Yeah, sure you are. Without looking it up: can you tell me the names of the other people who are on the Twitter Safety Council? Can you explain the purpose of the council, how often they "meet up" if at all, and how many hours a year each member of the council would work with twitter? Do...

Its amazing that people are still seizing on a tweet by a (relatively) obscure movie reviewer made a few years ago as "indictive of a movement." I fight for social justice. Doxxing other people is never okay. This "no bad tactics, only bad targets" was something that was said by a single...

I've never heard of anything more ridiculous in my life. I would fit the qualification of a "devout follower." I follow her on twitter, I contributed to her last crowd-funding campaign, I've watched all her videos, I find myself in general agreement with most (but not all) of her views. I...

Why are you asking me that, and not directing that to the Fem Frequency twitter account? Are you ignoring the probability that the person who posted that tweet may have simply misspoke? Has Anita Sarkeesian at any time ever publicly endorsed doxxing? Do you think the intention of that tweet...

Its both hilarious and sad that Sarkeesian get pilloried for things she didn't do (like siccing her fans onto Laura Kate) and things that she did do (denouncing doxxing: but not to your satisfaction.)

Anita Sarkeesian did not sic any hordes on anyone. Unless you can show otherwise, the Feminist Frequency twitter account posted twice on this matter: "Outrageous & irresponsible of Kotaku UK to post this puff-piece on a Gamergater on the hate movement's anniversary."...

And I'm assuming you came to that conclusion the same way you determined that only a handful of people play Skyrim to roleplay? 155 million people in America alone regularly play video games. Are you stating that most of those people are empty-headed and shallow with varying degrees of...

These statistics are irrelevant. I only ever played Dungeons and Dragons once. Because as I said before: I didn't have that many friends back when I was younger. I loved the genre though. I read what I could about D & D, and I read and played the fighting fantasy game-books instead. Video...

Of course it could. Why couldn't it? I would suggest this says a lot about the company you choose to keep, and nothing at all about gamers in general. Table top Dungeons and Dragons was a ROLE PLAYING GAME. Players invented characters. Stats were random. But they picked what race...

You told me that "I'm not saying you can't like Skyrim or that Skyrim is objectively a bad game" and then followed it up with "I'm simply saying Skyrim isn't anywhere near as good at facilitating player expression as other RPGs." In context: the last sentence is most certainly not expressed as...

You forgot to say "in your opinion." Because in my opinion Skyrim is fantastic at facilitating player expression, more so than other RPG's. You aren't making an objective observation. You are making a subjective one. In Skyrim I can completely ignore the quests and do whatever you like...

Of course it does. I just finished explaining how it does exactly that for me. Are you claiming Skyrim doesn't allow me to roleplay as Stamm Bladecaster, the multi-dimension-hopping Paladin? So what exactly have I been doing when I've been playing the game? :: shrug :: Literally...
