*sigh* Welp, no point in weighing into this conversation.The idea that anonymity turns people into assholes is also not very accurate but that doesn't mean it does not statistically harbor more assholery.

Certainly average non-gamer america is more inclusive amirite
Or maybe this is just a decentralized ploy where people in unison magically pretend to not be transphobic misogyturds, or maybe a single person is behind all of those posts with different proxies set up so it gives different thread ID strings and somehow no one else posts there.

You're probably right mr/ms. 2 friends on steam.
Social dynamics. They blew right past my autism. How could I not see the evil ploy.
/lgbt/ was probably also in existence since 4chan just waiting for this very moment, obviously populated by oppressive privileged white cis males roleplaying in a flakiest of the flaky /pol/ tier jewspiracy sort of plot. /fem/ and /cuteboys/ are also totally just a smokescreen against misogyny and homophobia.
How could I not see this. My half-african androgynous bisexual self was fooled by these vile manipulative white cis male scumbags.
Argh.
tfw you find out your life is a lie http://puu.sh/coq2j/90ffbb2226.jpeg
Some dude got cheated on by his girlfriend, Zoe Quinn. Quinn is an independent game developer. He wrote a long blog post about it and then reposted it all over the internet. It falsely accused his ex of sleeping with journalists for good stories (the journalist in question never wrote a positive review). It set off a firestorm. He "left" his job to devote his life to bitching about his ex-girlfriend.
They claim it is about journalism ethics. As though gaming journalism ethics is a thing.
But, even if, the people who are supposed to have ethics are the journalists not the people trying to get press for their product. But it wasn't triggered by the fact that every single gaming site has advertising for the games they review and have since the very start. It was triggered by false allegations that one woman slept with a journalist. And the ire was directed at the woman not the journalist.
Now they claim the media is covering up the true story to protect themselves. Because you know how powerful gaming journalists are. Every media outlet will just bend to the will of gaming journalists no one has ever heard of!!
But the only way to be an independent free thinker is to think what they want. And they are standing up to the establishment. You know the establishment of gaming journalists no one cares about.
It goes something like this:
1. Bitter gamer dude gets angry because his ex, who happens to be a game designer, allegedly slept with 5 other dudes, at least one of whom was a games journalist who wrote a brief blurb about her game before he slept with her.
2. Other bitter gamers dudes who have issues with women take that as an opportunity to prove that chicks can only get their chick games (which don't involve violence and girls with big boobs rendered by state-of-the-art graphics engines) promoted by sleeping with games journalists. Because b*tches be like that, using sex to get stuff from poor oppressed men. They use the 4chan BBS as their main base of organisation, because it's been an environment that traditionally welcomed that kind of nuanced discourse.
3. This builds, because saying gamergaters "are the kind of people that think playing video games is something more than a frivolous distraction" is putting it mildly. These are people who have a level of entitlement that only comes from the privilege of having their desires catered to throughout the entire 30-year life of a multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry.
4. However, the misogyny and the adolescent MRA and PUA attitudes that are also an unfortunate part of the gaming boy's club culture start turning off a lot of people. So the gamergaters pivot by claiming it was about corruption and cronyism in the industry/press all along (even though this has been a real problem for decades but wasn't on their radar until now).
5. This fools no-one, and geek heroes and celebrities who, unlike these kinds of fan, have a life outside fandom and healthy relationships with women start disavowing the movement due to its nastiness and rancor.
6. Finally even 4chan feels this is too much for their cesspool, so they close down the gamergate forums. Which brings us to this article.
Maybe instead of viewing them as so called 'transphobic misogyturds,' you could see them as human beings who are hiding difficult emotional problems and you could begin to see them with less hatred in your heart and their words as no longer hurtful:

If haters hate because they got problems then what problems do haters who hate haters have?
Yeah I have emotional problems and I admit it. I hate what I see in myself and I don't consider myself a good person and it pisses me off to see other people get away with shit I got called on. Especially when I'm not even that serious and am being at least half civil but people go straight to the sarcasm and shit. Give me one reason I should respond well when people get in my face instantly like there's no in between.
It's the right thing to do? Bullshit. I'm not gonna die being martyred as a doormat.
Have a thick skin? Bullshit. Thick skin is bullshit. People just hit you harder because they think you can take it. Or because they actually want to get through even. And then you want to retaliate because they're using artillery on you n shit.

You wouldn't believe how many times I've given that same advice. Fact is though, I don't want to let go. I'm that petty and perverse. I know it doesn't solve anything and I never planned to solve anything. I'm not interested in fixing anybody. I'm interested in spite.
