This is why SJWs are poo poo, also you know who was saying that the games girls play aren't real video games? Your SJW Ally Neuro-fag whatever his name is. But in your blind rage, you just assume whoever disagrees with you about anything is your enemy (everyone is your enemy even other SJWs) It's one of the reasons SJWs is such a good insult.

http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2014/09/a-ship-sailed-into-port-on-bias-controversy-and-my.html

"On August 16 of this year, we all watched a ship sail into port, and games journalists had absolutely no idea what to do about it. It’s not worth covering women’s personal lives, especially since no laws were broken, not even allegedly, but could it be worth pointing out that we don’t think people should receive death threats? Should we all take a firm stance against death and rape threats and harassment? That seems fair … but, hey now, we don’t want anybody to think we’re biased, so maybe we better just write up a quick policy about how “ethics” matter and, uh, does that seem like we’re capitulating to the death threats? Probably not, who cares, it’s fine.

Men I don’t know have been telling me for years now that I should be raped and/or killed for playing games, writing about games, and even for applying to get jobs and/or promotions within games journalism. Have they ever been “right”? Have they “made good points,” in between insults? Sure. Plenty of times, my detractors have made some good points. They often point out some error, some typo, some factual inconsistency … but then they extrapolate that to mean that I don’t deserve to be here, on this planet, alive. Does that mean I believe I should never be criticized? No. It’s a question of scale. And, you know, the whole bit where it doesn’t happen to my male colleagues. There’s that, too.

Some of my fellow colleagues in the field of games criticism and design decided to hang up their hats this week for a variety of reasons. They all happen to be women. I’ve seen a lot of passive voice used in response to these departures—“we’ve lost a great voice,” for example, as though this were about losing the rights to the usage of a mascot. As though being a “great voice”—underpaid, underappreciated, and thoroughly unsupported—would be enough on its own. As though the design and coverage of games is done by talking heads on a roster of colorful characters.

It’s easy to blame harassment campaigns on the literal harassers, to take a firm stance against harassment—a stance no one could ever argue against, by the way. Institutions have failed, as well. Twitter has failed, by continuing to not give a crap about how many burner accounts 4chan sends down its pipeline. Local police forces have failed, by not yet knowing how to deal with online harassment and threats. Games journalism failed, too, as it has continued to fail, by responding to accusations of “corruption” and “bias” by promising to be even more objective, as objective as possible, in the future.

I don’t mind “disclosing” that I often meet people and I often write. Sometimes meeting an artist, even just reading a personal blog post or a tweet they’ve written, changes how folks feel about their work—for the worse, or for the better. Of course, you can meet people, too; you don’t need some journalist to do it for you. Game developers are at PAX. They’re at Gaymer X. They’re at the Boston Festival of Indie Games. They’re human beings. They exist in the world. They make things, and your experience of those things will not be the same as mine. Your relationship to their work, and to them, won’t be the same as anyone else’s, either. All we can really do is try to write about what our own experiences with our lives and with art and with each other. You don’t have to read about mine if you don’t want to. But I can assure you: I will be honest. And that means that I will be biased.

...

I would guess most readers don’t understand what this story is really about, so I’ll lay it out as clearly as I can: the basic safety and mental health of women in the games industry. Maybe other publications haven’t made the issue feel accessible, choosing instead to focus on murky discussions of “ethics” and “cliques” and “bias,” ignoring the part where women live in fear and, often, leave the industry due to the fear that one of these faceless strangers might make good on a threat. It really only takes one. And there are thousands."

So since you can't tell which threats are real or not, and you receive hundreds per day, what is your response?

trying to piece together the connection here, do rape victims shake a lot or something
"Trigger" is a term that primarily applies to victims of sexual assault who experience PTSD. It's used loving flippantly here to mock "SJW"s. So again, the main method to mock people who think it sucks to poo poo on minorities is to call them an SJW, and the second most popular method is to mention triggering. It's a loving rape joke, and people think it's hilarious. It loving isn't.
