...you are the one doing the white washing by ignore all the females, gays, trans, minorities that is participating in this campaign. As if like we are all a bunch of "misogynerds". I am an Asian, born under the communist country of Vietnam and currently resided at Australia for educational purposes. And trust me, I know what is like to be oppressed.
Just a thought: is it me or a white knighting a woman actually reinforce the patriarchy? Think about it. If that you think that woman needed to be protect, it implied that you perceive the woman as being weak and cannot fend for themselves. Isn't that the patriarchy model for years already?
And that's your problem, right there. You actually think that people who don't buy into your story are the stereotyped guilt-haunted "SJW" stereotypes of your imagination. You can't imagine feeling sympathy or empathy for anyone else unless it's just cover for being patronising!
Also, how are Gjoni's army of defenders not white-knighting him? Isn't white knighting leaping to someone's defence when you either a-haven't thought things through or b are just using the whole leaping to defence bit as an excuse to troll? Just because the wailing inhabitant of the tower was a prince certainly didn't prevent an army of defenders shouting "huzzah" and rushing to his defence based on the flimsiest of pretexts. If that isn't white knighting I don't know what is!
It’s also why GamerGater’s have no clue how to talk to their critics. They imagine their critics to be walking stereotypes of sort of latte-sipping straw liberals that Fox News and its ilk like to throw up and that they’ll just go giddy at the sight of a crowd of diverse people and ignore the fact that they stand for something flat-out repulsive. They think their liberal-tinted glasses will throw up a blind spot over the rape threats because a rainbow coloured crowd is notyoursheilding the pricks making the threats!
Being oppressed is a shitty thing, and if you’ve been oppressed you have my sympathies but having the status of an oppressed person is not element zero or a ring of wishes, it cannot warp reality, it does not make what is verifiably wrong right. I once
tossed a non cisgendered black Anarchists comment to be mauled by the old FSTD comments section, because despite being verifiably more oppressed and less privileged than me, that person was a complete fucking tool and a raving loony to boot! If I didn’t give that wanker a free pass I don’t see any good reason why I’d give it to GamerGate’s potted diversity wing!
And when you scratch beneath the surface it’s abundantly clear that the last thing on GamerGate’s mind is providing a safe space for diversity, it’s all trying to
silence their critics and
opposing “SJWs”. All of this fits in nicely with their mascot Vivian James, you know, the one that looks like a bored, jaded high schooler that half of 8Chan is writing porn about,
well according to Gjoni she just wants to be able to call things she hates “gay” and not be hassled about it! That’s GamerGate in a nutshell, we want the “right” to be obnoxious douchebags but God help you if you call us that, you…you SJW, something…
You know what this crap reminds me of? Love Shy, the guys that tried to tell everyone that they had the “right” to get laid, concern for the rights of the women they wanted to orifice-invade-not so much! It’s this same familiar entitled sense that they have the right to shite over people but they’ll cry foul if someone so much as criticises them for it.
Even if every single word Gjonji, the Internet Aristocrat and the GamerGateHorde spat out about Quinn was true it wouldn’t make her one tenth as obnoxious as GamerGate themselves. That’s right, even if the sordid tales of infidelity and sex for reviews were true it wouldn’t hold a candle to the blatant astroturfing, intimidation and sleazy gossip mongering that is GamerGate! To hell with them, their phoney conspiracy and their phoney cause, these guys are looking for corruption in the gaming scene? I’d suggest a mirror. Fuck ‘em!
