Amusing, we're so good at being zombies though Martin.

Nice to see the fire rising. I expect that with consumers expressing their dissatisfaction with the media through advertisers that they'll say we're trying to censor them next, despite all of the censorship they've indulged in hypocritical fucks that they are, but this is a legitimate means of consumers registering discontent and does not at all stop journalists from writing their hate pieces about their audience. It merely registers our reaction to being insulted, and reminds them that although they might hold all of the journalistic outlets on their side, we pay the wages and make the industry. They're just leeches.

After that it'll probably be back to the usual, we're children afraid of change or criticism, except that's bollocks. We love good criticism like Totalbiscuit, Smudboy and others, we're just against bogus cherry picked criticism like Sarkeesian, who lies and misrepresents games to fit her own agenda and blatant bias. And we're not going to let fakes like her who hate games, and who sees interactivity as a bad thing, dictate how games are made. We'd have nowt but non interactive picture books like Gone Home or Dear Esther, with no feature, content or subtlety just clumsy preaching and moralising.

Funnily enough, Anita Sarkeesian should be #GG hero since she one of the few people that truly take games seriously and hold them to similar standards as other media.
Except she doesn't take them seriously. She's a self confessed non-gamer. She cherry picks situations in video games, strips them of any kind of context and then claims it's misogyny. She actively lies about stuff in games and omits certain details in the very games she showcases that would shoot her arguments down. If you want to analyze something and get to a conclusion you first look at it critically and then draw your conclusion, she does the exact opposite: she already has a pre-established end goal and then picks out only the things that support her claims without mentioning the ones that don't. That's flawed logic. She comes across as someone who's more focused on getting money than delivering on her promises and being honest in her methodology.

And when you point these inconsistencies you better have your flame shield ready because her supporters will do their best to burn you alive.

"Hyper masculine capitalistic technology products"

These fuckwits think the more adjectives they pile on the more credence their propaganda has.

She is just #FullMcintosh. Was for long time already.

What do you guys think about desperate Zoe trying in shaking voice stop Milo from stating his point and change topic (what she succeeded btw) with her call on the Radio? Professional Victim enough?.

Of note in the Leigh video: at 6:30, she all but admits to putting her book up online for pirates to deprive her publisher of money. Also, that second video is incredible, easily one of the best things I've seen come out of this brouhaha. Thanks for sharing.

Salon.com has an article up (and still on their front page) about how we're literally terrorists, by the way.

Can feminism be like this again, please? Awesome woman.
 
Jesus fucking Christ, can Alexander the Great Leigh be any more self centered... This chick thinks waaay too highly of herself to be a gaming "journalist" who only really got notice for being a bitch. Sit the fuck down, please.
 
Leigh Alexander saying that GamerGate is about people not trusting their authority figures...
...

Who the hell are my "authority figures," Leigh? I'd really like to know who you think that is.

Also, I note that she didn't say she gave her publishers' advance back when they turned out to be "transphobic."
 
Today was a good day for gaming.

Dark Souls II won Game of the Year at Golden Joystick. Witcher 3 Wild Hunt won most anticipated and PewDiePie won best personality in a section where Anita was nominated but was nowhere near the Top 3.
 
Well, I can't stand PewDiePie's videos or humor, but anyone beating Anita in anything puts a smile on my face, especially when it's someone they accuse of being sexist and blah blah blah, so. Good day in gaming indeed.
 
I still don't get why John Carmack wasn't on that list...


And yes, Leigh Alexander has an ego so big that it has it's own gravitational pull affecting the tides.
