What's scary is now 4chan is going to be ran by people who grew up with 4chan as a constant presence in their life. If you thought the website was bad now, wait until it's ran by kids who believe "anonymous is legend!!!!!!!!" is something other than a joke.
How about they be careful what they GIVE us. If it's of a lesser quality AND costs more than I'm pretty sure consumers will go elsewhere. It's the reason we are having this discussion today I believe, consumers have already gone elsewhere and the cable company wants to cut off a mass exodus as seen in the CD/music industry.
And your only response is "Yes, well, but not ME." This makes your claim to support ethics amazingly hollow.
I wish I had mod points or you posted with a real account because this post is a pretty good summary of the all the terrible people supporting GamerGate and their reasoning.
I assume the 13 in your username is either the year you graduated highschool, or your current age; because the inability to see that this is an issue larger than some kids fighting in comment sections speaks volumes of your knowledge on the subject.
Thank you for sharing your empty comment, do you have a blog I can subscribe to in case I want to hear how little you care on other subjects? Perhaps a twitter account?
There isn't evidence the threats are coming from GG either
The fact that you believe this speaks to the power of MSPaint conspiracy images, and the general lack of critical thinking required to go along with a hate movement such as GamerGate.
GamerGate is not a real movement, it has refused all attempts to become a real movement, because of this ANYONE who claims they are GamerGate, are GamerGate.
Your refusal (or naivete) to accept this fact is pretty telling in all your arguments. You think just because you aren't personally harassing anyone, then GamerGate is just a big'ol happy consumer movement, that can do no harm.
Are you dense or do you not understand gaming isn't a zero-sum game? You can have a billion more ladies making games and that doesn't mean games like Hatred or Call of Duty are going anywhere.
At the end of the day I think we can BOTH agree that political agendas don't belong in gaming
You honestly have no concept of what this means do you?
Having Bufffist Manstrong, white straight male as the default protagonist IS a political statement.
Having a game where america's army goes around saving the world IS a political statement.
Having a game of Civilizations where the best way to achieve victory is through scientific exploration IS a political statement.
You've become so saturated in what you believe is the "absence of politics" you've never stopped to realize that you might be advocating for the existence of your brand of politics in video gaming.

I draw the line when a TV show your child is forced to watch can infect and kill my child who cannot watch the show.
It's not meant to compete with Twitch. It's meant to be a single button streaming for ease of use. It does what it says on the tin and nothing else.
Why must it compete with Twitch?

Holy shit Slashdot moderators, you gave this +Interesting points?

So there is literally no reason to investigate any death threat because anyone with a cellphone can make a threat.
This logic, it's bulletproof.

Thanks for the impartial news Anonymous Coward. I really believe everything I read from literally anonymous sources!!
Could you summarize this in a MSPaint image instead?
Holy shit is this how you defend your argument?
Ignoring the fact, invoking Godwin, trying to change the subject.
Wowowow. And people eat this stuff up don't they?
(there was no review kid)
(thanks for playing)
(go find someone as naive as you to peddle your lies to next time)
There is a reason you're posting this Anonymously, and that reason is because this is a lie, provable since the first week of GamerGate.
You are mistaken.

Cognitive dissonance is strong here.
"Femenist agenda?"

NOT GOOD ENOUGH PROOF!!!
Literally everyone must be lying!!
At a certain point you have to become aware of your own cognitive dissonance, no?

You've gone from maybe having a shred of an argument to now just parroting what someone has called you out on instead of debating the point.
Run along now and try to find some kids stupid enough to believe your lies. Perhaps try arming yourself with some MSPaint images!!
