This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Most interesting thing about #gamergate: the #notyourshield protests

No I'm not. I'm not attaching #GamerGaterSux or calling myself anything. I'm not standing 'with' Sarkeesian or Quinn or anyone in particular. I'm against GG.

Unless you think every critic of, say, the US government is the same?


Every SJW is 'the same' - on the same side - even the ones who get banned from RPGnet.

There are more evil and less evil SJWs - Ettin vs Zeea, to use a couple of rpgnet moderators for example who seem to be close to the poles - but they - you - are still  all on the same side. You have the same goals. You're wearing the same uniforms.

Except I'm not a Social Justice Warrior. I don't use the label, I'm not with them.

Their views and mine might coincide sometimes. But I believe in free speech and reject tribalism (which is kind of the undercurrent of all of this).

I don't believe someone is immune from criticism because they are on my 'side.'
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

To borrow your language, you've femsplained and culture jammed.

I call you a social justice warrior because it's an insult, a pejorative term for people who are doing crummy things.  I can't imagine it's something you'd say about yourself.

Oh, and by the way, GGers, thank you ever so much for making gamers seem like hateful misogynist basement dwelling assholes.

For all GGers complain about how radical feminists were making us look bad... people were mostly ignoring them.

You, on the other hand?

You are doing -far more- to kill Gamers.

Yes gamers and GGers, if you didn't dress so sluttish, you might've not been raped.

Nobody can kill us without guns, and the conservabros seem pretty chill.  It's november fourth and I'm contemplating a protest vote, so I can honestly say I voted red down the ticket to my local reps, when I explain the potential costs of promoting bigotry against men.

Increasingly, I'm thinking some of the 'gamer' thing was about a shibboleth, where it was never really aimed at gamers but at men, in a society yet unwilling to tolerate open bigotry against men.  I'm not interested in allowing that window to be moved.

Alathon, I invite you to read the early thread and wailing about articles about 'Death of the Gamer' and all that drama llama.

Are you an SA shill?  That's usually their language.

It's okay, your most recent victim blaming is much more fun to read.

What's SA? Something Awful? Haven't read that site in years, and never the forums.

Then again, that's just what I'd say, isn't it.

And if I was flying under the flag of a rat's anus, you'd have a point!

Or something. Heh.

Will don't you love it when you see your own bullshit arguments be twisted to go against you so easily?  Maybe you should had kept your own word and never post in this thread again because people are not going to stop.

Will

You mean my argument of 'some of what you're saying may be valid and agreeable but is destroyed by labeling yourself what the awful people are using'?

The argument which is about willingly accepting a brand, and my noting that I'm not part of that SJW brand, and doing what I suggest 'moderate GGers' do?


Yeah, I'm such a hypocrite.
(There's your soundbite)

Please don't advocate such things;  I put no stock in anything Will is saying, but that's no reason to tell him to cease talking.

Shining him on about taking his marbles then not going home is fair game though :)
