Gamers are sad that videogames aren't just for them anymore so they issue death fatwas against women in the name of journalism ethics.

The correct side is the middle, where I'm punching both sides in the face.

gently caress I have had running debates on facebook about it. And dumb debates, like trying to convince people SomethingAwful isn't plotting the downfall of women and trying to explain what "ethics in journalism" are.

I have a quick question since the e/n feminism thread is unfortunately dead. How do I explain to my sister that the term "bitch" is sexist and can not be reclaimed nor its definition changed no matter how much she wants to use it and that doing so only ensures that she will be continue to be treated as a second class citizen by the US Government?

Dude i'm at the point where I'm going tos traight up tell these people. NO one gives a poo poo about gamergate stop posting about it. Or just defriending them.

IDK anymore. Like, I LIKED these people. They seemed normal for the most part, but suddenly gamergate hits facebook and they're off tlaking about flannel hula hoops and mysoginist gamers.

gently caress.

I don't care! I just wanna play a game in some free time and live my life.

ALternatively I think I'm just gonna link audio of long farts in their comment section with like "A good riposte about gamergate."

Oh gently caress I know. The worst part is I swear the people that are just shooting their mouth off on facebook are doing it because "OMG an issue to show I'm a good person that stands up for women! Gotta show how much I care and show how morally superior I am, yet not superior enough to do a quick google search about it."
