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.

Suppose an internet stalker has made a credible threat of death/dox/etc against you. Do you:

1) Scream RAPE on Twitter and call the SJW army to your side, publicly attacking the parties you believe responsible.
2) Maintain a facade of normalcy in public while discreetly dealing with appropriate law enforcement.

One of these is a quick way to cause an unstable person to attack prematurely and violently in the most explosive possible manner. One of these is the correct way to deal with legally actionable harassment, but doesn't get noticed by clickbait media.

EasternBronze posted:

Its almost as if internet harassment has no affiliation and infact isnt really the issue at all.

Or this.

It's like Libertarians and AnCaps claiming there has never, ever been a private monopoly. In any industry, in history, ever. Because if there ever had been, that would destroy some of their basic assumptions of how free markets are supposed to self-regulate. You bring up any of the various sorts of monopoly that have existed throughout history, and they'll probably just change the subject, or blame government. Because statists.

If SJWs aren't really under threat of misogynist internet rape, then their whole philosophy falls apart. So if you bring up a legitimate criticism such as blabbing about a death threat to Twitter while not even contacting police is pretty much the dumbest possible way you could possibly handle the matter, then you're a rapist. Because rape.

Sorry to jump into the shitpool, but I've been checking the box marked "Caucasian" for the last 30+ years (Syria). Everyone I know from the Middle East has always done the same (and their children do too). Where the hell did you get this idea from? Does this mean I qualify for minority scholarships/grants?

The way tumblr SJWs deal with middle-easterners is really funny. They group them all together (much like I am doing right now) and ignore the fact that the entire area has more than one culture and a very diverse range of colors and creeds.

The real hosed up thing about it all is apparently the whole "indie gaming" thing wasn't ever a widespread movement, the indie gaming revolution was all just some incestuous hipster group in San Fransisco hyping each other up.

Good, I thought I was weird for not giving a flying gently caress about low effort "retro" garbage.

It was never a movement more that digital distribution meant you could make and self publish a small game with no or minimal publisher involvement, similar to the early 90's and late 80's PC space.

The "Indie Gaming" hyped up by little sections of the press was just scene kids from certain hip cities all agglomerating into a disembodied mass of inflated ego with no self-awareness.

this is true with the caveat that it's also true of every single other artistic medium and form of internet and media journalism and is in no way endemic to gaming

gamers are just sort of more autistic than music people and poo poo so it took them forever to figure it out and when they did it blew their minds and turned them into diagram-making basket cases
