Just like game sites attacking their audience, gamers, now we have translators and moderators making fun of their audience too. What a wonderful world we live in. People on the FUNi boards are less than thrilled about it too, I especially like this one;
Do any of you know anyone like these people in real life? I've yet to meet any. I look forward to it.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and travel to Portland Oregon all the time. I bump into these kinds of people all the time, and my girlfriend is one of them.
It’s no coincidence that the “cultural libertarians” Bokhari cites are all leading figures in Gamergate, just as it’s no coincidence that the U.N. report references Zoe Quinn, the first victim of that movement. Well over a year after Quinn’s harassment became international news, we still haven’t answered these fundamental questions about what values the Internet should protect and who is responsible for it.

Victim? Being found out makes you a victim?
I like that the washington post continues this false narrative of gamergate being about harassment.
When in fact from the very start it was people pointing out that sleeping with the guys writing reviews of your games and judging it on indie panels, wasn't exactly ethical.
Not for the game developer and certainly not for the implicated game journalists that lost their credibility.
But it's good to see that the media continues their false narrative, it's good to see that they continue to be the aggressors, all the while pointing at people in GG and calling them the bad guys.
It's always good to have your opinions and convictions reaffirmed.
So...
Saudi Arabia - about human rights,
a bunch of entitled frauds and/or harassers - about "cyberviolence",
"killing zombies" level of research - about children
Dear UN, Google - why do you keep forgetting Bill Cosby seems to be available for many of your women-related projects? Racist much?
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
Wow look at the replies for the second tweet It's a Snowflake Special Alert!

Besides, all the angry purple-haired gamer gals there who claim "I'll never buy anything from you, ever!1" aren't really lost customers, since they were never going to buy a video game in the first place
