This all was pretty reasonable until she hit point number 3.

Prof. Moriarty posted:My friend, who works a minimum wage job at a chain of hotels, just posted this. I don't know how to gently break it to her that she's not middle class by a long shot and that she should be empathizing and identifying with the situation on the left rather than trying to distance herself from the people she presumably believes to be "the undeserving poor." My sister-in-law, who has borrowed or stolen tens of thousands of dollars from her family, just posted this poo poo. It's amazing the lengths people will go to make themselves feel superior to others.

This picture is true! However, it's missing a little information. The left picture should be no job with a family. The right picture is a middle class bachelor. A small amount of food and some alcohol?

First it was the "Quinnspiracy", then it was the "Game Illuminati", now it's "Gamergate" like this is an actual real scandal. There could be THOUSANDS or even HUNDREDS on the line here if Kotaku gets away with this!

Everyone knows that when you want to make a twitter account that's real, you need to submit paperwork 2 years in advance before it's created. That's how you can tell the counterfeit accounts from the real ones.

It is kind of incredible that people like Anita have successfully locked themselves into some immovable position of 'authority', where nobody is allowed to be skeptical of them (or their sketchy business tactics) without everyone pinning blame on some blanket group like "gamers."

At this point is pretty much trying to argue that maybe something fishy happened during 9/11 you might have some valid points and a well reasoned critique but the crackpots have already smeared their poo poo all over to the point where the signal to noise ratio is astounding.

Making gamers mad is a sacred goon tradition, one that extends to the very origins of this website, we should be honoring Anita

A small amount of food and some alcohol? Right, or failing that what to take away from the meme is the middle class needs to stop spending all its money on wine.

This analogy is perfect because both 9/11 conspirators and these gamersgate people are all completely wrong about everything and probably smell.

Also, the people her ex-boyfriend (a perfectly rational actor who should be clearly taken at his word) claimed she hosed for reviews never even reviewed her lovely text game. So, either all of this is complete bullshit, or her pussy game is embarrassingly weak.

that post was directed at the person i quoted, it wasn't about anita. i don't give a poo poo about anita sarkeesian. i've literally never watched any of her youtube videos but i don't think being flippant and dismissive toward anyone who scrutinizes anita-- or zoe quinn for that matter-- is good either. if poo poo seems suspicious, people have the right to investigate those suspicions.
