Quinnspiracy

[Ultimate Paragon]

Given the fact that it is somehow a massive deal compared to other events of taint and corruption within game journalism, I rather disagree.

I mean. Where is #MachinimaGate for example? The essence of that particular scandal was no different, yet it didn't generate anything like the spectacle that #Gamergate and this Quinnspiracy rubbish has generated.

As for my bias, yes, I do have one. It is against sexist, whining, over priveleged male gamers who don't want to let girls into what the feel is their private sandbox.

If gamers are such misogynists, then why did they support The Fine Young Capitalists?

And the reason it's blowing up now?  The same reason Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination started World War I: it was just the spark that blew up the powder keg.

Because not every gamer out there is a whining, over priveleged male gamer who doesn't like to share with the girls?

I had that particular group in mind with my statements and like any obnoxious minor group within a group, they tend to project their voices the loudest, because they fear they have the most to lose.  In their own little minds.

As for what I believe about the rest of gamers, I believe they are no doubt a good, progressive group of people who aren't afraid of sharing.

So you admit that the misogynists in Gamergate are only a minority?  After all, it represents gamers of many, many backgrounds.

If you admit feeling attacked from rape and death threats isn't a victim complex.

I have plenty of reason to find these claims dubious.  The anti-Gamergate faction has a history of dishonesty.

REALLY!?  JUST FUCKING REALLY!?  YOU'RE GOING TO FIND PLENTY OF REASONS TO IGNORE DEATH AND RAPE THREATS BECAUSE OF WHO'S SAYING THEY'RE GETTING THE THREATS!?

Well, considering their unethical behavior, yes.  It's not about who they are, it's about what they've done.  Quite frankly, I don't trust them, and I wouldn't put false flag attacks past them.

And where was this outrage when Gamergate was suffering these threats?

Well considering gamers and there history misogynistic behavior, yes. It's not about who they are, it's about what they've done (send rape and death threats because of the ending of Mass Effect 3, call female gamers "fakers"). Quite frankly, I don't trust the, and I wouldn't put false flag attacks past them.

The difference is that that was a vocal minority.  There are millions upon millions of gamers, and they only represented a tiny fraction.

The anti-Gamergate side, on the other hand, is much smaller, has been proven to be corrupt, and knows it doesn't have a leg to stand on in a legitimate debate.  Why do you think they censor their critics?

So yeah, different situation entirely.

Even if these threats are real, that doesn't mean Gamergate as a whole is bad.  All it means is that there are some bad apples in the barrel.

And I don't remember Gamergate sabotaging charities, silencing their opponents, refusing to believe that women and minorities in the anti-Gamergate faction are fake, or comparing their opponents to ISIL or Nazis.

EDIT: You know what? On second thought, fuck it. I'm out. I've said my piece on the matter and I'm washing my hands of this shitstorm.

In addition, studies have show that gamers are the most charitable, friendliest, and most sexually appealing demographic ever.

The anti-Gamergate side, on the other hand, is much smaller, is comprised entirely of clones of Osama Bin Laden, steals puppies from orphans (which they proceed to eat in front of them), masturbates to Adolf Hitler, and takes 2 parking spaces at once. Why do you think they torture and behead their critics?

So yeah, different situation entirely.

[Ultimate Paragon]

I've stated this multiple times and I'll say it again, do you have verifiable SOURCES for that alleged corruption?

Why should I bother?  You're not going to accept them.

Stop putting words in my mouth.

[Witchyjoshy]

Why?  You don't seem to have a problem putting words in other people's mouths.

Care to elaborate?

Elaborated.
