You seem to think he cares what people think about him.

He just wants a platform to spew his little brand of hatred. Thankfully this happens to be a very accommodating forum when it comes to hating women.

How does a youtube video have anything to do with that?

What is 'that'? I shared the video because I thought it was relevant given the direction the conversation in this thread has gone.

What? Laughing at fools like you who believe anything 4chan tells them to believe? That direction?

I have to say I am bewildered by your response. I asked for clarification of your previous post so I could answer your question and you respond with this nonsensical post.

Playing dumb is probably your best bet. No need to go into a psychotic meltdown like u_l

Seriously, to all the lurkers. Be objective. Pay attention to the tone on both sides of this debate. Does one side seem more contentious and judgemental to you? Does one side provide evidence? Does one side dismiss it?

The more pushback the movement gets, the stronger it becomes. It seems to get bigger and bigger each week, so I'm sure there's much more around the corner.

Evidence is not some jaypeg or youtube linked from 4chan, the people doing the harassing and death threats. The sock puppets 4channers create to make it look like the story is gaining momentum is nothing more than AstroTurf support.

People aren't as dumb as you think they are. The percent of folks who blindly accept every insane conspiracy theory spouted on a lol youtube video is diminishing every day.

I mean it pretty much already has. Any news outlet of repute, game or otherwise looked at it and said, there isn't anything here. Also there's a lot of guys being assh*les. Meanwhile 4chan and reddit are on the spin cycle.

And all the major game review sites have changed their policies already, so...

Meanwhile people are sending sarkeesian child porn with her head photoshopped into the pictures and then blaming her about it.

This guy kind of sums up gamergate for most people. The exchange is fairly long, but you can mainly just jump to the bottom after reading the OP.

The funny thing is, if you read the reddit thread he created, he doesn't think he was really out of line. He actually thinks people need to apologize to him.

From your second link

Quote:

So I've been trying to understand SJWs. I've talked to friends who are SJWs, I've talked to crazy people on twitter and in other places, just trying to at least understand their perspective and maybe find a way to convince them to at least stop censoring, doxxing, harassing and threatening us. I hit a wall every single time. There is no method to their madness. I don't know why I keep trying.

Then later

Quote:

Then Leigh Alexander showed up. I hate Alexander more than anybody else in this conflict, so I told her off a bit. Then I apologized a bit and she posted again, accusing me of harassment, again. After being accused of criminal behavior all morning I just totally lost it, replied with two huge posts calling them every name under the sun. **** it, they had it coming. In IMs I apologized to Koster for fighting with his friends. Turns out I wasn't just fighting with his friends, though. Big game industry types had noticed my little Facebook flame war and took the side of the SJWs! This boggles my mind. I mean, it's obvious that I was the one getting attacked. I just stuck up for myself against libel

Yes, I wonder why none of the SJWs "get" this guy? He seems like such a fine young gentleman. Definitely worth the time to try and sift through his nuanced view of libel to figure out if he's worth paying attention to. If only the SJWs weren't so discriminatory against such nice guys like this!

Also from the comments this was pretty funny

Edit 4: Because GEEZE I want us to be one happy gaming family again without the Kotakus of the world being cesspools, but no one wants to sit there and be called a harasser or misogynist just because they game and are at the end of their ropes because intellectual bullies are putting that slander on them and other honest people

Lots of sensitive dudes on the Internet being harassed by SJWs because, I dunno, they just can't turn their computers off. The injustice!
