Gamergate

Have you not realised this is a culture war? To invoke Godwin, you are all pulling a Neville Chamberlain here! There is absolute an "us vs them going on". It's freedom of ideas vs totalitarian thought control. You CANNOT comprise with totalitarians. You must pursue them right into their fucking bunker, you must destroy every single grip they have on any sort of power. You must be relentless, unforgiving and always on the offensive.

If you think the enemy is reasonable, if you think the enemy can ever deal in good faith.. Then you are truly naive. If we purge the SJWs from gaming, they will attack again. They will continue until they win. If you care about gaming. If you care about science-fiction. If you care about comics. If you care about your workplace policies. If you care about the education of (your) children. If you care about the future of the Western world.

Then you will not give an inch. Then you will fight not to contain this totalitarian filth, but to eradicate it from the face of this planet. You will shine the light of truth on every decrepit hole it hides in, be it in institutional feminism, gaming, science fiction or wherever you find it. It is a culture war. Emphasis on WAR.

War requires sacrifice. It requires victims. It is a war we must win. For our own sake. For our children's sake. For the future's sake.

If you are not willing to join us in this battle, then you should become a neutral. If you continue to concern troll, then you are absolutely no worse than the enemy. If you wish to condemn yourself and your descendants to a hellish future, one where the SocJus cult of Perpetual Victimhood has assumed total ideological control, stay out of the fight.

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
