    Oh just for the relevant information

    Yeah, what an inspiration. A rich spoiled kid pisses away daddy's money on nothing, but he's an inspiration because he cut off his dick. Nice one, dipshit. Then again, you might actually be one of those retards that enjoyed his shit game, if so, congratulations on becoming retarded.

    Cut off your dick and marry a desperate asian man. That's why Wu did.

    What are you, 12 years old?

    The sad part is that idiots like you believe that somehow personal experience and anecdata trump reality. It doesn't even occur to you to question either one.

  6. Besides Advertising Your Patreon On Here... by Tasha26 · · Score: 1, Troll

    Don't you think it is disingenuous for anyone to:
    (1) Troll GamerGaters at the very beginning, when they were fighting for ethics in Games' Journalism.
    (2) Get b***h slapped by a torrent of angry gamers.
    (3) Cry on the roof-tops that you're being harassed by "men."
    (4) That "men" are scaring "women" from the industry (when you are a trans-woman btw).
    (5) Claim to have received death-threats and was too afraid to live in your own home but still gave copious number of interviews from it.
    (6) Eventually got around to port your 1 game and it looks like a horrible game from 1996
    (7) Create a storm whereever you go on Social Media (beacause maybe you are deranged?) and blame "men" for your shortcomings.
    (8) Spoil my Slashdot by showing your creepy face on HERE and ask for money!

    Any thoughts?

    ... indicated that 88% of people reported as harassers had no connection to GG...

    Wow! 88% of people reported as harassers weren't associated with GamerGate! That just proves that GG isn't about harassment, and is only about ethics in gaming journalism! I'm totally convinced!

    All sarcasm aside, why even bother including this? It's a bullshit, misleading statistic designed to make people believe what you're trying to say. It's an association fallacy at its finest. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy)

    Me, I'll believe that GG isn't a harassment campaign when all the harassment and doxxing in its name stops - ALL of it. Plain and simple.

  8. Re:You have got to be kidding me by PopeRatzo · · Score: -1, Troll

    I hadn't heard this claim before and am curious if it is true, but her Wikipedia bio says nothing about it and Googling her supposed former name only turns up sources of dubious veracity

    When you're a movement all about ethics in media, sources of dubious veracity are plenty good enough to smear your enemies.
