Of course geeks are misogynistic, they think so highly of their intelligence that when they get shot down by women due to their poor social skills, they think it's the womans' fault.
Why is this modded -1? It's easily a +5 insightful!
On the topic of Zoe, several of the people she slept with even confirmed it, so I don't know how you can even attempt to argue that those were "false accusations."
Watch this:
I slept with Zoe in exchange for giving her project a favorable review.
1.) Which no one seems able to provide... 2.) Not really. Do you mean Phil Mason's ramblings? 3.) It's not much of a "cover up" if it's "currently the subject of a lot of publicity". Try not to disprove your own point before you've finished making it. 4.) Evidence? Didn't think so. 5.) Only in your imagination. We have the numbers. Perhaps you should get your facts from someone other than a know liar like Thunderf00t.
How about something really, really, simple? Include women in roles other than passive, helpless, sex objects.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with sexualized, helpless, one-dimensional female characters. The problem is that this is overwhelmingly how women are portrayed in games.
Assuming that art is ultimately a cultural product, what does that say about the gaming industry's attitudes toward women? How do they compare to other creative industries? (Movies, TV, etc.)
mean starting your comment with "Holy shit, you're fucking garbage." is sure sign of calm and collected person.
Sounds like astonishment to me. As in "Holy shit! I had no idea that you were such fucking garbage!" A reasonable reaction by someone who believed that you were not, in fact, fucking garbage.
Posting insane conspiracies with evidence and analysis which rivals the worst Glenn Beck has ever dared coupled with the tacit defense of MRA lunacy certainly makes you look like fucking garbage. If you are not, in fact, fucking garbage, you would do well to clarify your position in cases such as this.
Power dynamics, bro. How do you think it (might) have went down? "I'll bend over for a review" or "I can do a lot for your project, what can you do for me?"
Actively lied? You're confused. Let's see what you offer as evidence.
Take the Hitman video she did. She went on about how the game rewards you by killing the dancers at some club, when anyone who has played the game knows that you actually get punished for it, due to their deaths being unnecessary.
Can you provide a link and time stamp for us? I've seen all her videos, but don't recall this specific one. Or even one specifically about Hitman.
Also, is this the only example you have? Have you considered that it could just be a simple error?
In the post that started this, the AC claimed that she admitted that the accusations were true.

Go ahead. Find the evidence.
I find if VERY suspicious that the MRAs seem to be willing to spend lots of time screaming that they're right and other users are lazy but not willing to spend the few seconds they seem to believe it will take to verify their accusations.
You're a walking talking point. Too bad you picked the worst of the bunch for this particular dispute. Let's try reason instead of rhetoric this time:
The statements "I don't believe the green teapot exists" and "I believe the green teapot does not exist" are logically equivalent. They are the same. This is indisputable. This is logic 101, chapter 1, page 1. It's not complicated. If you disagree, go ahead and do a bit of math. You'll find that they are, in fact, equivalent.
How so? Is the non-belief in a deistic invisible pink unicorn also a belief?
Yes. Obviously.
How about the non-belief in a theistic green tea pot in orbit around the sun somewhere between 68 and 203 astronomical units from the center of the sun?
We all stroke our egos in one way or another. For example, if I were to say "you take pride in your work", you could also say that I was "accusing" you of "ego stroking". Would you find that insulting?
I think you find it insulting because you believe it, and find that revelation uncomfortable.
What's insulting about it? The assumption that he owns t-shirts or that he uses his own judgement to discriminate between the good ones and bad ones while shopping for them?
You don't need religion for that kind of insanity. Do some reading about the dechristianisation of France during the French Revolution. I'll wait.
Nasty, isn't it? Given the evidence, it's difficult to believe that ideological atheism won't lead to irrationality and bloodshed just as quickly and easily as any religion.

See how easy that is? Give it a go.
I wasn't aware, for example, that Minecraft predominantly features adult themes and content.

Never let reason ruin a good conspiracy theory. It hurts the MRAs feelings.
They're not emotionally stable enough to handle that.
What? You have a mystery email that ... proves, what, exactly?
You've gone off the deep end.
Do they really?
You should try reality, instead of thunderf00t's imagination land. You'll find it much more rewarding.

The proof exists and is proliferate, I don't particularly care to compile any sort of list here, because I can't
Fixed that for you.
Evidence or GTFO.
How the hell do you demonstrate that?

Why does this simple fact bother you so much?

Yes. Obviously.

Yes. "I believe no such tea pot exists."
See? It's not rocket surgery.

You haven't found a single thing online that is humorous?
A lot of things online are funny. I just haven't found a "geeky/techy/sciencey" that's funny that I "follow".
Context.

All fine talking points, we've all heard countless times.
Now, if you'd like, please actually address the content of my post.
Then, please, enlighten me. How is either funny in any way other than the way I've stated?

Facts are trolling now? Damn.
However, youre using that mere difference of opinion to hurl unwarranted and unjistified insults at people
Name one.
You quoted it. There's years worth of analysis there.
