    Tropes vs. Women / #GamerGate Conspiracies

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Guys, don't try to claim throwaway accounts harassing people in your name are detractors or misguided activists who are not condoned by the overwhelming majority of the group. Only anti-GGers are allowed to do that.

    Wait wait wait.

    You just typed up a post -- another in a series of posts, actually -- hinting at the concept that it's erroneous to judge an entire group of people based on anecdotal statements...

    ...and then linked to a blog that continuously judges an entire group of people based on anecdotal statements.

    How do you not understand why nobody is taking you seriously yet?

    Is anti-gamergate rooted in accusations and comparisons to offensive figures like Alex Jones? :-P Not having all the facts is a little more forgivable than being mean IMO, he can at least read up on stuff and get the rest of the story whereas being mean or snarky is less easy to correct

    Yeah, where was that scolding shit when he posted his own snark a page ago?

    Bias and double standards. Bias and double standards everywhere.

    But that part you're saying that's debunked? No.

    For a picture claiming to prove something, it does a pretty bad job of proving anything. Should I let everyone I've tagged on Facebook know that I'm banging all of them?

    Also, Grayson reviewed her game? When? Let's see it.

    Actually, let's just get right to the point: Post a single review of Depression Quest written by someone she allegedly slept with.

    I just clicked on the youtube link in your sig, looked at every video uploaded within the last 3 months and didn't find anything even remotely related to GG that's all over the comments in any of them?

    Did you leave out anything like you deleted the comments, or you run several different youtube channels?

    I mean, if you're going to characterize "the WHOLE movement" based on the actions of a troll, you should know that a hasty generalization fallacy is supposed to involve a bad sample size, not a non-existent one.

    He showed up and insisted that my music should be boycotted by "decent, reasonable people" because I, as a "misandrist gamma male", needed to be "taught a lesson". He also proceeded to spout that debunked stuff about Zoe Quinn sleeping around with game reviewers and whatnot on my G+ page.

    I deleted his comment and banned him. I don't deal with trolls any more than that, usually. Just found it interesting that my very first run-in with someone pro-GG was a troll.

    But I'm sure I just made that stuff up, right? #GamerGate #notyourshield

    Well, you certainly didn't seem to read my post on the subject. Their point is that when you act a certain way (like posting controversial things on the internet), you can expect a certain response (like harassment from random anonymous assholes).

    And my point is that you -- and the fedora brothers over there -- are completely incorrect in your assessment that such a heinous response is in any way to be expected. When you post something controversial on the Internet, especially if it's just a personal opinion, it's not in any way a reasonable expectation to be doxxed, harassed, or to have your life threatened.

    The Internet isn't some dark alley, and posting something controversial isn't like leaving your wallet out.

    Anyway, I'm done. All this victim blaming is tiring. I'm just going to reiterate what is by far the most accurate thing posted in this thread since I showed up:

    However, it's a sad state of affairs where we suggest that to avoid harassment, people should not share their opinions.

    That would be your stance regardless of any possible argument one could make.

    Nobody has actually made one yet. Everything you and Meteo have said so far boils down to "they're to blame because they did something". Neither of you can list a single thing that actually makes them in any way responsible for what's happening to them, and in lieu of that, you two post vague stuff like "if they hadn't been doing what they do" and cop-outs like "they should have expected it" -- which again, not a single reasonable person on this planet fucking would.

    Nobody here has been able to explain exactly what they did that even makes them even partially responsible for what's happening to them other than "they exist and they do stuff". And that's bar none the stupidest reason a person could have for blaming another person for anything, really.

    You know what it's called to blame someone for something bad happening to them simply because they exist and do stuff? It's called victim blaming. Yeah, I used that phrase again, because the shoe fits.

    But you'll say you're not, and that Quinn and Sarkeesian are to blame for what's happening to them because they "exist and do stuff". That would be your stance regardless of any possible argument one could make, Mr. Pot.
