Uh no he didn't. He admitted that he has no problems encouraging an open environment and people to enjoy themselves. I guess that's why the actual aggressor was forced to write a public apology right?
I'm asking because you seem to be taking these slashdot threads really personally, and it seems a bit suspicious.
I can happily disclose that unlike the other poster who didn't say whether or not they have connections. I don't have connections with them, and I do have something to do with Gamergate.
If you're a gamer, DX12 is more then enough of a reason to upgrade. Especially with the massive API changes that are coming down the pipe for it. There are a lot of non-AAA games that use DX11 or mantle now, that will be doubly so for DX12 which will make cross-platform support for 'nix and macs even easier.
Just checked out the wiki, is there a reason behind the usage of anime characters and memes?
I feel like that takes a lot of seriousness to the cause you guys are supposedly fighting for.
Self-mocking. If GG is good at one thing, it's mocking itself. Memes are a part of the discussion language which doesn't always translate well outside of the culture. But that's true of any culture right? So in the end it makes sense, GG is an extension of gaming, so gaming culture has a very strong influence and memes are a primary part of gaming culture. That's why boards like KiA exist, because if you don't understand it--someone will explain it to you.
Okay, now I can actually read it (the image you posted earlier was tiny) it's obvious from the tag line that she was just curating a list of idiots who jumped at the bait.
That video is nonsense tarnishing PBS's otherwise good name.
Egalitarianism is literally thousands of years older than the first person to have ever strung the words "men's", "rights", and "activism" together in a row. Has that person never opened a history book?
A lot of the videos that are like this and linked to PBS tarnish their name, and they don't seem to give a shit. And no, they've never opened a history book. In the video, the person in question directly states that feminism isn't a subset of egalitarianism, but rather feminism is the true face of egalitarianism.
The problem of course for a lot of people including women isn't that it's a part of egalitarianism, but rather that modern feminism is about supremacy.
Related question: Despite everything, can some good come from GamerGate?
Plenty of goodhas come from Gamergate. The literal salt mine from deepfreeze.it alone shows what good has come from it, not since the 1990's have I seen so much whining and complaining from the press when direct conflicts of interest, and shilling are exposed.
It has certainly drawn attention to the topic of harassment of women online, and campaigns like "Disrespectful Nod" actually seem to have backfired and pushed some of the companies targeted to very clearly state their opposition to the movement.
Citation required, because many companies including game sites have created ethical policies, some have also come out saying that Gamergate was right like Ian Miles Cheong(Gameranx). Some others have even openly come to GG to ask them to give their opinion on their existing, or re-write of their policies. So if you wonder where we would be without it, we'd be back in July of last year and people still getting pissed off at 'games journalism' for being unethical and still trotting down the road that it had been waiting for an even larger explosion.
I'm guessing you either don't play video games, or are pretty young. Otherwise you'd know that a backlash against the gaming press has been building for over twenty years, when you still got your information from magazines.
If you take information posted in public, and can figure out it was all done from one location then it's not creepy. Maybe people should be asking why the press didn't question it, and why the continued to push a victim complex for them, when it was obvious they didn't leave their home. It's not any different then Zoe Quinn which the press reported "she fled her home..." while conveniently forgetting that she had publicly posted that she had a trip to Europe planned...and just happened to leave the day that she claims she fled her home.
That's because it is. Go hang around some feminist sites these days like feministing or the mary sue, and you'll find out that using bullshit to make up your point is pretty much accepted. And of course if you point out the flaw, you're automatically a persona non grata to be purged from the ranks.
That comment is so good, it's almost like the BS that was spewed out the other day on sites like The Guardian, Time, and other outlets about how "teenage boys don't like big breasted women." Of course, when you look at what little data there is you find out that: There was no confirmation data, it used a online poll, it was heavily circulated on feminist sites, especially those espousing an anti-male point of view. Well, I mean the data is out there...you know the data that says said paygap is by choice.
Unless of course you're supporting the idea that women should be paid more, for less work. But that seems rather sexist to me.
Today I leared 'exert power' is another way of saying 'attain equality'.
If "attain equality" means attacking, doxing, harassing, throwing death threats and getting people fired from their jobs because they have a different viewpoint or because they make a joke you don't like. I don't want anything to do with them, and that is how the fast majority of SJW's are.
The first person to mention evil is you. The post was lamenting declining diversityâ"a social quality the author valuesâ"in favor of increasing majority homogeny. You may not specifically value diversity, but those of us who do are not maligning the majority group.
They may have been the first person to mention "evil" in the context of the post. But there are a large number of social groups out there that cry that white men are evil, there are also a number of social groups out there engaging in sexism, writing about engaging in anti-male sexism or anti-white racism as well. If you haven't seen that in the news, you're not paying attention, if you need a dose let me recommend reading stuff by jessica valenti, anil dash, tauriq moosa or anything written on sites like jezebel or the mary sue.
Cultists often compile lists of entities, organizations, and media outlets that are 'out to get them.'
Well SJW's sure do fit the bill. We've got: Men, white men, white people, the patriarchy, anyone who wanders off the plantation, the media in general. They also engage in personal attacks, use threats and intimidation against people who are inside the clique to make sure that they remain so.
Everyone to their Cellars while the Whine Tornado passes over us!
Never seen a whine tornado, but there sure is a lot of salt mining going on with them right now. So much salt infact, I think I could put Windsor Salt out of business.
saying "SJW" outs you as a retard regardless of anything.
Don't worry if the term you, yourselves coined has now turned into a term for "biggest idiots on the planet earth." I have to hand it to you though, you've successfully united both left and right in their hatred of you. Maybe that was your plan all along, but I don't think so.

In other words, Chairman Pao instituted something for political points and SJW's to feel good about, and didn't actually ban subreddits that actually engage in abusive, hateful, doxing, or threatening behavior. And subs like SRS/SRD/and their ilk do engage in it, but since many of the admins suddenly become mods of SRS/SRD when they quit, and they have a favored relationship with the admin, it wasn't in Pao or the admins interest to shut down those subs.
Censorship is censorship it doesn't matter if it's government, a person self-censoring, or a business forcing it on you when they claim to be an open and free platform for freedom of speech(fyi which is reddit claims to be).
I guess that's why it's going on 11 months now, and has done more to clean up the ethical problems in the game 'journalism' industry than anyone to date right? Even Ian Miles Cheong(Gameranx) who came out viciously anti-gamergate has apologized, created an ethical policy and his site is growing again. Funny that. If you think that ~700k people going by KiA's stats alone are "a raid by angry virgins" then you're probably one of those folks that believe the politburo was a bastion of truth.

Yeah, sure. It's not that they're mentally unbalanced or anything right? That they fish for attention, and have a martyr and victim complex. It's nothing like trying to blame GG for 'sarin gas' but in truth it was a anti-GG person who said it either right?
Really? Cause it sure shows up easily on a 29" monitor. And of course you can't forget the other stuff either. I'm sure someone will go hurdurdur breitbart because they have an ideological bias.
That's a smudge? Looks pretty detailed to me.

Why do so many people think that feminists are not egalitarians?
Egalitarism is a MRA construct, courtesy of PBS.

Oh boy probably one of my favorite tweets and was quoted directly to her feed...by her. Funny how there was never any investigation about it right? Never mind they've been caught attempting to victimize themselves, or lie about pretty much anything. Not even hitting the tip of the iceberg here.
That's not creepy at all.

Gee, that didn't take long. SWJism 101: Use ad-homs.
I'll be happy to continue shining the light on your ilk. Maybe you can join the Times, Polygon, The Guardian and The Mary Sue in their latest faux "male gamers demand less sexy females" study. I hear that making up research is trendy these days.

Yes because hiring a women because women, not on merit isn't sexist at all.
