Since I'm a pigheaded bitch, I 100% agree with Ibbles on this. Paragon has posted quite a few images in this thread that have had questionable statements made by people clearly against gamergate, while being unable to concede any bad elements within gamergate. He is clearly posting those images in this thread to skew opinions against those people that don't support gamergate, while using "worst of SJ" as a pretext. After a certain number of posts, you begin to see that he has an agenda.
I
can concede the bad stuff. I acknowledge the fact that there are some misogynists in GamerGate.
And "agenda"? Honestly? If I wanted to restart the GamerGate discussion, I'd send a message to the admin.
Let me be perfectly frank on this issue. I understand that both sides of Gamergate, both pro and con, have a case of the stupid. I, at least, can admit that. UP can't. He also can't acknowledge that this whole bleeding mess came about because of a harassment campaign on the part of Ms. Quinn's ex-boytard because he felt the best way from getting back at her for daring to break up with him was to ruin her life.
"Harassment campaign"? Seriously? I will admit that Zoe Quinn probably got harassed by some assholes, but at no point did Eron encourage anybody to harass her.
Also:
That's not how GamerGate started. It was started by the blatant collusion between the journalists. Look at all the "gamers are dead" articles that sprouted up within days of each other. Not to mention their efforts to bury the story, which only drew more attention to it, as well as exposing some of Zoe's dirty laundry.
Actually, that's not what really started it. That was just the straw that broke the camel's back. What really started it was the corruption, the collusion, the agenda-pushing, the censorship. You might as well be asking "why is there all this controversy about some guys breaking into a hotel?"
And I love your demonization of Eron. Really, he's the victim here.
This has since evolved into the thing we affectionately call Goobergate. There was a 58 page thread on this that is locked because we can't get past the brick wall that surrounds UP's head. That is all I will say on that!
DARVO.
However I must also point out that UP does have a tendency to pick up on any SJWs who happen to be acting stupid. There is a pattern there and one I think I've also pointed out in the past and will continue to do so. He has a very anti-SJW stance that's fine and dandy as long as he's just going after the SJWs. Because, and let's face it, SJWs are stupid. Social Justice Advocates, on the other hand, are not stupid. They are actually fighting for actual change rather then the right for some 14 year old white girl to claim she's a 4000 year old Japanese Princess with anime eyes and we should all treat her as such.
I have no problem with decent Social Justice Advocates. I'm just against radflakes.
Also, if you can acknowledge that there's both good and bad in Social Justice, why can't you do the same for GamerGate?
Oh and as for the video I posted? That's for all of you.
Ironbite-and I will break you. I have flight benefits.
Oh, so it's okay to threaten
me. Hypocrite.
