I still can't figure out what is real and what was trumped-up bullshit, as both sides of the Gamergate coin like to play the vicitm. The closest I can parse is that, from what they say online, Anita Sarkessian, Zoe Quinn, and Briana Wu all seem like dicks, and the people on 8chan ALSO act like a bunch of melodramatic assholes. How anyone can figure out what to believe on either side's claims is beyond me.

Slow is a lying fuck. Zoe Quinn did and has done nothing. Anita has made some well intentioned videos with sadly shallow argument construction. Now, Wu actually IS a crazy person but the only thing she's "guilty" of is making bad mobile games and standing up for women in the industry.

None of which, in case you aren't aware, is grounds for doxxing and harassing them endlessly. As a matter of fact, basically NOTHING is grounds for that, or at least nothing the likes of a #GG/MRA type is liable to care abou

I've lost a friend to what I suspect to be suicide, and while I'll never know if this was the reason, I know he DID get harassment over his "problematic" views--he's was truscum, a transmedicalist, and despite being a trans man himself, "progressive" people felt like this was a reason to bully him.

I find that sort of hilarious as I'm watching you demonize and treat Slow as someone who isn't human just because he disagreed with you. I'm seeing Slowpoke being overly respectful while arguing with you and you're just being an asshole because you don't like what he says. That's also something I've noticed Anita, Zoe, Brianna Wu, and 8chan do. The only thing getting mad and screaming loudly at each other does is let you blow off steam. It doesn't change anybody's mind. If anything, it entrenches opinions and invites people to push you back even harder.

It's not relevant whether you agree with it or not, it's still a fact. You have BURNT credibility fighting for people who you shouldn't have been fighting for, and are now for some reason surprised that you get lumped in with them all the time. That's why you get accused of using the same tactics they used and having the opinions they have, because you constantly defend and, may I add, never attack them. For someone who likes to act like he's some kind of neutral figure, you are often found in decidedly partisan positions.

That said, failing to address my arguments and instead just going "lmao >implying slowpoke" just makes me look more correct to anyone who isn't already firmly on your side, so it's just kind of masturbatory. Which I mean, is also fine, I don't care if people just beat off to my arguments either.

(I also don't really "attack" anyone, I just call out stupid arguments from people I expect better from.

I guess I'll quote Kazerad as they put it more eliquently than I could.
>In addressing a problem like harassment, your first step is to figure out the causes. With something as broad as “harassment”, there are going to be a lot of different causes all contributing to one quantifiable output. When you establish a baseline that is essentially “normal” for someone in a particular position, you can work to isolate isolate specific behaviors or attributes that affect the harassment they receive.
>The harassment that was brought up in that Hateful Boyfriend post, for example, is tamer in both content and harshness than what I get on about a daily basis. At the same time, though, I’m a bigger name than its author was - I’m inclined to say that our harassment is both pretty expected for our relative popularity levels and it’s hard to draw conclusions from it. The harassment received by someone like Zoe Quinn is probably greater than mine - but from what I’ve seen, about on par with someone like Andrew Dobson. One attribute both Zoe Quinn and Andrew Dobson have in common is a general hostility toward critics, and I’m inclined to say that the “solution” to their harassment is to either place blame on them for handling their audience poorly or to promote positivity and understanding toward people who don’t want to receive criticism. Either one works.
>The key here, even if you’re addressing something pervasive like general misogynistic attitudes in the gaming community, is that you need to address it from the inside. You need to be able to understand a community, see what is causing the misbehavior, identify the people who are perpetuating it, and get them to stop. It’s a very social thing and ultimately, the only way you permanently win is with the collaboration of the people you disagree with.
>The thing you don’t want to do is rush in and start attacking people, since they’re not going to just go away. The thing you really don’t want to do is rush in and start attacking people for the wrong thing, since people who act out are usually doing so because they have some complaint/fear that is going unrecognized. Dealing with situations like this is a delicate thing, and someone can’t just barge in and expect the same treatment from mass audiences that they would get from friends in an artist-circle. I would like to see things improve, but I’m not going to have pity for someone who expects that hurt feelings will be enough to solve problems.
>I don’t want to decry anyone’s harassment as being so normal they should accept it. But, I think actually dealing with harassment as a social issue requires careful movement and an exact analysis of the causes, and misplaced blame only makes things worse.

The Gamers of the Gate may not have intended to become a group dedicated to harassment, but harassment certainly became one of its standard operating procedures after getting its name. And while the group proclaims to fight for “better journalistic ethics”—last time I checked, anyway—these days, that fight boils down to yelling about cultural marxism and complaining about anything from women in positions of power within gaming companies to cultural critique of a game’s politics (for example, the blowback against people shittalking the political nature of The Division’s storyline).

You can check out probably their largest collaborative effort here though http://www.deepfreeze.it/
Said effort looks to be about exposing corrupt journalists and archiving incriminating things about them. There's also a list somewhere of the various websites they've impacted by raising awareness of the lack of ethics, causing big-name websites to change their policies. You can look for that if you want, but I doubt you care.

When you meet an atheist, do you show them /r/atheism and have them call every user on the first page a moron before you respect them as a person?
Upon meeting a Christian do you pull up a list of the personal beliefs of every leader-figure of The Crusades and tell them that they have to reject those thoughts, one by one, out loud?

I would venture to suggest that there is a difference between calling someone an ass on an anonymous image board and the actual, literal planned smear and scare campaigns engaged in by #GG. You may disagree with this theory if you like but if you actually think this is all harassment maybe this conversation isn't for you at all.

I’ve read his stuff (man I wish he’d start writing for his blog again) and I admit, he’s good about taking a balanced look at it. But while I’m all for the sociopolitical mission of “improving games journalism”, the Gamers of the Gate have tainted said mission due to the actions of its bad actors and the group’s generally harsh view of anyone it deems an “SJW” or “anti-GG”. At this point, the group is more about mocking “SJWs” and feminists than about trying to be a watchdog for games journalism—if /r/KotakuInAction is any indication, anyway.

It doesn’t. You just seemed more willing to say “the bad Gaters suck” while simultaneously pointing to people equally as bad—or worse—seemingly as a way of undercutting the awfulness of the worst Gaters’ bad actions (“They’re bad, but they’re not THAT bad in comparison to [x]”).

Well, frankly, I feel the same way about SJWers and "Feminists" (I utilize in quotation marks because I believe the actual goals of political/social/economic equality for men is now somewhat detatched from the movement). My experiences have had me view people using moral high grounds affoarded to them by claiming "social justice" to harass and dox people who had a different opinion from them, to get them fired from their jobs because they made a comic on the internet they didn't like. I also have friends who used to be part of the social justice clique until they said the wrong thing and got turned on and chased out. So while I roll my eyes at most "those damn sjwer liberals!!" rants (I mean, I'm fairly liberal myself), I do recognize that there are two sides to this debate and that bad actors definitely exist on both sides, and that the good actors don't endorse the actions of the bad actors.

And I don't think I need to ask YOU, Freehaven, to "disavow" the "bad" SJWers. I imagine you don't agree that doxing people is a good thing based on what they believe. It does depress me a bit to see you require Slowpoke do that.

I used to be a namefag here on plus4chan, and in fact many of you probably know me, I had rather positive relationships with most of you, but I had to go anonymous because it got just too cliquey. If you said the wrong thing to someone, you got harassed over it. If you supported the wrong cause you were "the enemy." Perhaps it's better this way because as an anonymous person I'm more free to speak my mind and all I have to worry about is getting banned.

Back when "social justice" first started getting really popular on Tumblr, I made a comment about wanting to pinch a really cute kid's chubby cheeks
Someone said something to the effect of "lol she'd probably try to kill you, she hates that stuff"
I said something like "it would be worth having to survive a murder attempt"

A friend of mine later told me I had made a rape joke, and when I was confused because rape isn't something I joke about, they brought that back up--touching a girl against her will is rape, and I was saying I would touch her despite her fighting back. I argued that cheek pinching is completely nonsexual, and I had no idea how they had gotten rape out of that. They told me that sexual assault is rape, and then, dead serious, sent me a .pdf of some big-name company's harassment policies, where they outlined sexual harassment as "any unwanted touching i.e. grabbing their hand, pinching, etc"

They then made me admit that I had made a rape joke about a little girl and apologize for it or they would stop talking to me.
I had no self-esteem at the time and definitely no self-respect, so I admitted it and apologized. So technically I suppose I didn't lose a friend over that exact scenario, but if I had loved myself at all, I definitely would have.

Getting a bad reaction socially means what you did is a social faux pas, yes. That's how socialization works.

And the story you're telling isn't even about political correctness, it's about you making a joke that made your friend feel uncomfortable, though you choose to believe she didn't feel uncomfortable about it because it makes you feel like you were in the right and have reinterpreted reality to stroke your own ego--a situation we've all personally witnessed you doing dozens of times.

With the "Slowpoke is always right" filter taken off, that story goes: "One time I said something that I thought sounded right in my head but which other people interpreted as me being a dick, so I apologized about it and then everything was cool. But I still think I was right because I'm always right."

Everyone fundamentally understands rape is a bad thing, only social justice warriors think they should get grants from the government to teach normal people basic facts like that.

Because SJWs think that deep beneath the sea in an underwater lair a secret organization of white men brainwashes people with pro-rape propaganda in everything from video games (where there are penalties to abusing civilians) to the way in which British Broadcasting Center presenters sitting on the left tend to be men 62% of the time.

But this secret organization of white men has nothing to do with pro-rape messages in rap music or the actual rape culture in the developing world, that's completely natural and fine, and you're a racist if you suggest otherwise.

>The only rapey thing coming up on google is that some tabloid claimed that Trump raped his wife, and she had to publicly deny it for the rumors to stop. I hope you have another incident, because that was weaksauce.

Completely incorrect. It was published in a biography of trump, and Ivanka originally stated it in their divorce proceedings--it's a matter of public record.

Trump has never denied things unfolded exactly as Ivanka described, nor has Ivanka ever recanted on the fact that Trump angrily and violently forced himself on her sexually. That is an established fact. But it was not considered rape because under New York law at the time, you "couldn't rape your wife." Even Trump's lawyers' response to questions about it is only that New York didn't consider violently fucking your wife against her wishes rape at the time the incident occurred. Any conscious human being would recognize what he did to her as rape, it's only not rape in the eyes of the law.

And her "publically denying it" was not what happened at all--after the divorce, Trump's lawyers made her stop saying it because even though it is historical fact that he raped her, the fact that it couldn't be called that at the time due to a legal technicality (that any thinking human being living in the year 2016 would consider bullshit, including New York which struck that law from the record since then) means that her saying he raped her would be defamatory, and Trump is rich and loves nothing more than to sue the shit out of people for defamation, or even just allege defamation for the chance to file SLAPP suits.

Donald Trump raped his wife. This is a historical fact, whether or not Trump supporters want to address it.

Yes a biography written by Harry Hurt III, a tabloid writer.

>Trump angrily and violently forced himself on her sexually.
You realize this doesn't mean rape, right? He's well known for being rough sexually, which even experienced penthouse girls like Sanda Taylor noted.

Ivanka has recanted on it being rape, and said she didn't mean it in a criminal or legal sense.
>“During a deposition given by me in connection with my matrimonial case, I stated that my husband had raped me,” she said. “[O]n one occasion during 1989, Mr. Trump and I had marital relations in which he behaved very differently toward me than he had during our marriage. As a woman, I felt violated, as the love and tenderness which he normally exhibited toward me, was absent. I referred to this as a ‘rape,’ but I do not want my words to be interpreted in a literal or criminal sense.”
She was probably talking about rough sex but didn't know the term for it.

Thirty years later she said:
>"I have recently read some comments attributed to me from nearly 30 years ago at a time of very high tension during my divorce from Donald," Ivana Trump said in a statement obtained by CNN Tuesday. "The story is totally without merit. Donald and I are the best of friends and together have raised three children we love and are very proud of. I have nothing but love for Donald and wish him the best of luck in his campaign. Incidentally, I think he would make an incredible president."

>historical fact
So provide historical documentation. I'm going to need citation that there was any kind of rape report or proceeding, then I'm going to need a citation on your claim that Trumps lawyers filed a cease and desist. From what I know Ivanka came out with the clarification on her own.

They were already saddled with significant debt, the minimum of 50 million debt on top of that will significantly impact their bottom line, whereas if the full 140 million is proceeded with they will be forced to incorporate.

So at the minimum Gawker is severely damaged, and if Gawker incorporates its basically the end of the company, Denton will likely be fired by the board within a few quarters and it definitely wont be posting pro-bestiality pro-pedophilia articles anymore.

It occurred to me today what the Trump phenomenon is really all about.

Supporting Trump is basically people's way of saying they wish they didn't have democracy, they want a return to monarchy. They're tired of people who actually have to try to work with other people and think of other people's feelings and show common etiquette, they want a noble class who will be as rude as they want to because they have all the power. The polls even show that the primary unifying feature of Trump supporters is leaning authoritarian.

Trump supporters are closet monarchists. They don't want Trump to be president, they want a king. And Trump has all the features one would expect--bad manners that would be easy to mistake for good breeding, no real understanding of rulership other than that it's his by Divine Right, loads of money and no sense of how to spend it, and barely any real-world skills to speak of. But damn he makes a nice figure to watch on TV, and I suppose in some lights he could even look the way a leader is supposed to look according to the movies--like an angry, ignorant old nouveau riche (which is ironic given that he came from money) white man with too much money and a bad toupee.

I'll bet the people voting for Trump are the same people who made the Royal Wedding such ratings gold. Americans obsessed with royalty.

Others I see drooling at the prospect of being president ready and easily bending their views to set themselves in what they belive are better postions with the political elite (save his fellow Populist Sanders). I watch his interviews and read about his past decades about being asked to run and I don't see him out for himself. He sees global elites doing wrong by this nation and abusing the people and he wants that to stop.

Man willing to give up the life he's living in comfort to take on a thankless job. He's as close to what the founders wanted in those seeking elected office nowadays.

Even moreso if he upholds the pledge that he'll not accept the salary of the office when he's in there.

Any man who's got the other Billonaires and Politcal Kingmakers acting like Bond villians holding secret meetings on islands on how to defeat him has got to be doing something right.

Could he be a farce, sure but right now just him being here is causing the corrupt system to unmask in an attempt to take him down before the general. And overall shoving these rats into the light of day I think is the most important thing to do right now.

>During January 2009, at the end of President George W. Bush's second term in office, Jonathan Clarke, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs, proposed the following as the "main characteristics of neoconservatism": "a tendency to see the world in binary good/evil terms", a "low tolerance for diplomacy", a "readiness to use military force", an "emphasis on US unilateral action", a "disdain for multilateral organizations" and a "focus on the Middle East".[76]

So it's about pedophilia, you're defeating your own argument.

If you're just making these distinctions to help her "honor" as a friend, fine, but no one else is falling for it because you are being too simplistic with the manipulation attempts. It's like going:
>X killed y

And I chose the word "pussy" here rather than "sex" intentionally--MRAs are almost never interested in the rights of gay, bi, or transgendered men. More often than not they are in fact working very hard to erode the rights of those men, and of straight men who simply choose to live in a way that doesn't match the MRA's vision of masculinity for that matter. They want to force manhood to mean a single specific thing and by so doing they are taking rights away from men just as much as they are from women.

But they've never been about "men's rights." They've always been about being pissed off at feminists.

Poke, what you will never understand, or perhaps do understand and simply choose to ignore, I honestly don't care which anymore because it is so blindingly obvious that you will never change either way, is that there are not, in fact, always two legitimate sides to any argument. There are, in fact, debates where one side is correct and the other is incorrect. No serious academic setting will tolerate young earth creationism, for example.

On the notion of "why won't anyone listen to me just because I'm an MRA/repeatedly defend them out of some (false) veil of being the moderate!?" you should, again, consider someone other than yourself. I realize this is difficult for someone as mindblowingly self-absorbed as you, but do it anyway. The black man has no real obligation to listen to the propaganda of the KKK or that of their defenders. The Middle Eastern refugee or the Mexican migrant has no obligation to respect Donald Trump. The same applies to women and MRAs. Or people who have an ounce of respect for women and MRAs. Hate groups, of course, have the same right to freedom of speech as everyone else does legally, but that freedom from political consequence of speech does not release them from the social consequences of association with hate groups. So you, in wondering why you are so often victimized or whatever, should really look to either side of you and consider A: who you defend, and B: who defends you. If your only friends are the skinhead anons ranting about how women lie about rape all the time or that Muslims are much more likely to commit crimes, you should maybe reconsider how you act.

Putting the two together, no, nobody is interested in hearing you espouse the objectively incorrect propaganda that was created by MRAs to legitimize their movement, and nobody is obligated to do so. Certainly, choosing to continue defending them only further solidifies the view that you and they are one and the same.

I don't know why I wasted my time typing all this since, as I said, it is incredibly obvious you won't change either out of ignorance or malice, but I, unlike you, have an actual amount of empathy for other human beings so I feel like I should at least attempt to communicate.

That actually has nothing to do with "men's rights," right there. Men *aren't* oppressed, at least by any outside groups. There are rights issues for men to be sure, but all of those rights issues are imposed by other men. They're issues like (male) judges seeing women as more fit to raise children and therefore seeing men as inherently less suited in father's rights cases. They're issues like men not being free to be who they are because other men will treat them as inferior due to the toxicity of modern masculinity. They're issues like trans men being unable to use men's bathrooms because other men are unwilling to see them as men, or will attempt to "correct" their "incorrect" masculinity by sexually harassing them or raping them just because they have vaginas.

And they're issues like men covering for rapists and thus making life unsafe for women--which makes non-rapists, and non-rape apologists, have a much harder time just having friendly relationships with women because they always have to be on guard against the rapists you and your fellows shelter.

>Which dictionary did you use? I'm going to guess you don't have any definition that includes that websites name (return of kings), because you're being completely ridiculous again.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_rights_movement

It is literally the definition of the movement, and what distinguishes it from the pro-feminist men's movement:
>In the late 1970s, the men's liberation movement split into two separate strands with opposing views: the pro-feminist men's movement and the anti-feminist men's rights movement.[10] Men's rights activists have rejected feminist principles and focused on areas in which they believe men are disadvantaged, oppressed, or discriminated against.[10][11][12] In the 1980s and 90s, men's rights activists opposed societal changes sought by feminists and defended the traditional gender order in the family, schools and the workplace.[13] Men's rights activists see men as an oppressed group[14][15][16][17] and believe that society and men have been "feminized" by the women's movement.[14][18] Sarah Maddison, an Australian author, has claimed that Warren Farrell and Herb Goldberg "argue that, for most men, power is an illusion, and that women are the true power holders in society through their roles as the primary carers and nurturers of children."[14]

You mean feminist organizations have nothing to do with this?

http://www.nownys.org/archives/leg_memos/oppose_a00330.html
The National Organization for Women, New York State, Inc. strongly urges the Assembly and Senate of New York to oppose this legislation. This bill seeks to "create the statutory of presumption of joint custody for all minor children whose parents are no longer married, so that both parents can continue to share in the responsibilities and duties of the children's upbringing."
The assertion that "shared parenting is in the best interests of minor children" is on its face untrue and is directly contradicted by the body of academic research on this subject, as well as the disastrous experience of California (one of the first states to adopt this experiment).


Again I reiterate with maximum sarcasm: "Yeah I'm going to trust feminists to look out for mens rights."

Because it's not a thing, and you aren't saying it as a defense of feminism, you are reiterating a MRA talking point because if you can reinforce it, it gives your buddies "legitimate" avenues to attack feminism.

As you've been told a million times, there is absolutely nobody here who actually believes you are a neutral party, though occasionally one of your little buddies chimes in to half-defend the notion. Just come clean, admit you're a bigot (because that's what an MRA is, and you are an MRA), and let's lay all the cards on the table.

You have a very interesting way of demonstrating this, by denigrating feminism, constantly defending MRAs, and allowing open racists to go on without comment on even as they happily hop on board with you.

It is not a matter of anyone else being paranoid, it is a matter of you creating this image for yourself. You adore playing a combination of some supreme overlord educating the plebs and some put upon victim, but the reality of it is that if indeed you are not as partisan as you so clearly seem to be then you are, if nothing else, an idiot who is unable to understand why people have such a negative opinion of him.

This is another thing you love putting on me for some reason? I do actually get why you fellas dislike me, I just think your reasons are incorrect.

Like I mean, there are a myriad of reasons to find me unwholesome; I have a hair temper, I'm pretty up my own butt, I'm a control freak. Yet rather than finding any of my ACTUAL flaws and harshing on them, y'all just kind of make up some arbitrary ones and pretend that I have them, and then insist to me that I have them like you're trying to gaslight me or something. It's honestly really really weird, like seemingly obsessive.

Some people think me a feminist (on the notion that everyone who believes in equality is inherently a feminist), and that's fine by me too. But it's when people of that view start insisting to me that i AM a feminist and i have no say-so in the matter that it gets irritating.

Both groups supercede basic definitions like that and someone can only be a member of either by identifying that way. It's an identity thing. Like if someone told me I was actually pan, not bi, and refused to consider me as or address me as bi, referring to me as their pansexual friend. That'd put a real bee in my bonnet, you feel me lad

No, you actually did say that. You equated being an MRA, which is a label you can choose yourself or be labelled with due to your behavior, to sexuality, which is innate, there's not choice involved (unless you count choosing not to come out, which isn't really the same thing).

I actually compared it to the labels of bisexual and pansexual, of which there is no worthwhile distinction, meaning which one you choose for yourself is down to how you personally identify.

It's actually very much not because again, this is not a valid comparison.

You behave like a bigot and are being labelled as such. This is your attempt to escape the bigot label without confronting your bigotry. But you're not going to be granted that escape as long as you repeat the behavior.
