_"*I guess i had to do it if only because people are expecting me to do it. I didn’t even remember this was a thing till yesterday XD*"_ Had to add this because I thought that ppl would actually click the source link and look at the description after all this time
Like...is there any solution to this? Should we start something?

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

Seriously? Is this guy serious?

Ok so it's obvious this article is another moronic piece where the author does not do actual research, since he believes GG consists of only a small group of entirely white males and misogyny this and that.

What makes this real disgusting is the fact that he not only confirms the use of Twitter bots used against GG, but actually PROMOTES it.

That, and the fact that he also ignores the evidence the GG supporters tweeted when trying to talk to the bot.

He had the opportunity to look into our side, to see our argument, but he chose to ignore them and make this baseless article instead.

He has absolutely no excuse for ignoring evidence.

This might work in our favor.

Every tweet he posted was polite and explanatory, and with no "fuck offs" coming from either side, the tweeters were able to express how they actually felt.

I'm betting this will open at least one person's eyes.
