Money quote: “Helen, it’s not just Jane Pornstar who’s in the running but the friendly girl in the hotel down the street (or out-called to the geek’s door) who needs just a small donation.”

Yep. You are reading it right. Feminists can’t make gamers comply with their whims, so they marshal the power of the state to do it for them.

Us geeks need to make nice by agreeing with all these anti gamer gate feminazi’s and white knights?

Sad as it is to say, most geeks ARE white knights since they feel that life is an RPG and that by saying all the right things, they’ll get their end wet.

A quote from the article:

And if you think about it, is a real woman who is average and only wants to have missionary-style sex once a week, minus a week for her period

Thats not a real woman, thats a prude.

This is the best video I’ve seen in support of gamergate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEMdf8D0lfw

On the other side, they’re being accused of simply being against the idea of female gamers and that their support of those organizations was just attempts to confuse the issue. The biggest accusations against them are that they’ve intimidated and made rape threats against female gamers and game developers and that notyourshield has been co-opted and duped.

Have I left anything out? I want to be able to speak fairly about this and would appreciate some well stated commentary that supports the anti-gamergate position if there is some. Anyone? I can’t find anything worth watching on youtube that supports the anti-gamergate position.

Why Gamers Had To Die: Part 1 – Gamers Don’t Need Diversity

Why Gamers Had To Die: Part 2 – The Industry Must Change For Diversity

So if I understand it correctly, the gamergate side says they’re about journalistic integrity. To their credit, they’ve unearthed conflicts of interest in the industry, financially supported Fine Young Capitalists and the anti-bullying organizations and the notyourshield movement supports them as well as a number of other significant individuals in the industry.

You nailed it. There isn’t anything well supported for the anti gamergate community because they have nothing. They are just a bunch of social justice warriors who make up facts to get attention in an attempt to leave their mark on something. If you notice the anti gamergate crowd really only has 2 things. Death threats and sexist remarks while playing games. These feminists aren’t the only people to get death threats though. Celebrities get them, politicians get them, famous people on youtube get them. There are bad people out there who target anyone. Also most sexist remarks online come from 12 year olds on xbox live. I don’t play online much except for Final Fantasy MMO’s, but I can say in FFXIV people are very nice to each other and if someone is a dick it ihs nothing to do with gender. I play as a women and when someone has been a dick to me they have never once brought up my gender. As for other games I don’t play a lot online but when I play a game like titanfall i rarely hear people taking and people who play a lot of games online say there isn’t even much talking either as most post use some third party app to talk with their friends. Anti gamergate talks about sexism and bullying but they post things like “gamergate supporters or worse then ISIS” or “We need a genocide of the gamergate supporters”. When women have posted pictures of themselves saying they support gamergate and they aren’t a shield you have women like Brianna Wu going on MSNBC and saying those aren’t real women rather they are just sock puppet accounts created by men. Gamers use facts to prove that Anita Sarkeesian is a liar and distorts facts and they just scream misogyny. The Anti Gamergate crowd has nothing to offer because there isn’t sexism in the game industry. If there was you wouldn’t see women come to midnight launches, gaming conventions, or even playing games. They think just because a woman was called a c~~~ while playing call of duty means every gamer is like that.

The most egregious offense I’ve heard is the suggestion that someone wrote a fan-fiction rape fantasy of Zoe Quinn and published it on Amazon… and that the only person who seemed to care WHO actually wrote it suggests it was Quinn herself.

Anyone who makes a legitimate rape or death threat against an individual… even if it is that individual themselves… should be pursued, identified and prosecuted. Then we should go back to discussing the point in question, whether the developers, critics and journalists are in bed together or not.

Something tells me someone does not want this to be talked about.
