Look, don't be obtuse. Raging about this open letter is admitting that you're a cartoon-caricature villain. It's a rhetorical trap, and if "gamers" want to be poop flinging monkeys then it's really easy to come out against this and say that you support harassing people. Yeah, it's easy for people to support this open letter because it should be painfully obvious that harassment is unacceptable. Trying to divert the goal of that open letter to try to talk about cucking just proves their point further.
The letter is dumb because there are equally lovely people on both sides sending threats and doxxing people. the sjw side literally went after a 13 year old and threatened to kill him, complete with pictures and a link to his Facebook. Same goes for several of the prominent twitter figures on the gamer side, they had threats against their kids, wives, homes, and selves. The difference is only one side makes a big display over it and leaves their house, and only one side is passively aggressively implying the other side is the only guilty party. Reddit and 4chan have repeatedly poo poo on members that try to rally harassment and threats. That doesn't stop individuals from doing lovely things, but both sides have those kinds of individual.

Have you ever heard of SJW's swat'ing somebody? Because I haven't. But yes, please continue to try to excuse harassment through ridiculous equivocation. "Both sides do it" doesn't mean either side is right.

I mean nothing in the open letter is really something you should disagree with. It's just don't harass and threaten people you disagree with over video games. That's why it's such a low risk move, they can just pull the anita defense and whenever someone tries to criticize them for other valid things turn around and say "gamers can't even accept something simple like this!!!!".

The only irksome thing apart from the free revenue they're slurping up from getting involved is they're name-dropping Zoe and Anita and ensuring this poo poo reaches all the casual observers who wouldn't haven't even noticed this sordid affair had it not been plastered on Famed Big-Name Game Site I.G.N. :downs:

How to attack a woman who works in video gaming

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/01/how-to-attack-a-woman-who-works-in-video-games

quote:

There’s a hot trend among a vocal minority of gamers right now: the harassment of women developers and critics. Of course, this sort of thing is not new in tech – or, let’s face it, across the internet – but in the video games industry it has hit a fashionable peak.

He is saying the journalists are ignoring the harassment the sjw are doing, pretending it's one sided. He is not equivocating or saying it's ok but nice try

Nope. Still not okay, regardless of ethnicity. The point in highlighting Sarkeesian's/Jontron's ethnicity was to knock down the insinuation that POC aren't being harassed, or that there's no ethnic bent to the problem.

ugh i know you dont speak for all "SJWs" the same way i dont speak for all "middle eastern POCs" but i just want to let you know that you come off as a real dumbshit and your whole life is in vain

Ever consider that he was trolling gamergate same way that "momsagainstgam" is?
Can you tell me the difference between the threats, "I'm gonna call the cops" and "I'm going to kill you, your family, and here's their address"?
