This week, feminist critic Anita Sarkeesian cancelled a university speaking engagement after threats that it would be met with a shooting spree. The news seems like a stark and spectacularly grim escalation of the mounting harassment of female game developers and commentators on the games industry.
Boogie2988 recently appeared on the H3 Podcast, and before long the conversation turned to social issues and politics. Unfortunately for Boogie, the internet took exception and he once again found out that no good can come of this.
I like how Twitter took a 13 second CUT of an answer which made him look bad yet everyone rolled with it.
Games and politics definitely don’t mix. Just make good games. Stop trying to use entertainment as a front to push political agenda.
I love how the author of the article says that Boogie shouldn't talk about politics since he runs a youtube channel about video games, whilst simultaneously commenting on Boogie's political commentary on a website about video games. Hypocrisy at its best. Also, yikes, calm down before writing a rebuttal. It was really difficult to follow what he was actually trying to say. I had to read it twice and I still don't know. Also I'll never get those minutes back in my life again.
Feminist Frequency founder Anita Sarkeesian and managing editor Carolyn Petit break down the gender dynamics in all of the games revealed at E3 2017.
Imagine not only having this much free time but actually getting idiots to *pay* you to write about crap like this.
I really hope that big nosed cunt and that butt ugly tranny fuck off from games forever
I'm not a girl gamer, and this is my story. -New article coming winter 2017.
Please be excited and don't forget to crowd fund it so I can pocket that cash right after!
"Arkane co-creative director Harvey Smith said that it was critic Anita Sarkeesian’s analysis of Dishonored, which she offered through her web series Feminist Frequency, which promoted the studio to re-evaluate how it portrayed women in the series."
This is something I will not agree with this. Anita started a gamergate in 2012 which was small, but until 2014 thing out of control fast when she completely succeeded created the conflict between both sides. I remember correctly she hate her dad because he voted who she hated the most (politics).
Now people know why Dishonored 2 have female protagonist because of Anita Influence. I will say this again, she is the false feminist who doesn't belong to feminists community. She completely ruined their image and reputation.
Anita is shadow developing alot of games, the new Uncharted and TLOU games come to mind. Something about an angry woman beating up a room full of men without getting so much as a scratch brings them joy. I would love to see their reactions if the genders were reversed.
I do not agree with the narrative this writer has. All I can agree with is that harassment needs to end.
Oli truly believes GG is a hate group out to get women and harass people with the false guise of "fighting for corruption in the game industry". This is a laughable notion, as anyone who has been following this can tell you otherwise.
He not only believes that GG is a hate group but he also has a lot of facts wrong on whats been happening in the past 2 months. Both sides of GG have been getting harassment, no one is immune from this.
You can't just lump an entire movement as a hate group just because a few trolls decided to harass and doxx other people. What you dont see in the mainstream media is not reporting all the proGG supporters who have gotten death threats and have been harassed, just look at Boogie or TotalBiscuit. So according to their logic antiGG are just as bad as proGG.
I cant believe he's taking the mainstream media view of GG hook line and sinker.

I've been ending my posts with quotes lately, I think I'll continue to do this.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." - Joseph Goebbels
Hasn't this by default become gaming culture because the side that insisting that it needs to change, that it's former target audience is no longer relevant, is only insisting on their stance and is disregarding any form of counterargument or honest discussion?
We aren't ok with harassment.
We also aren't ok with corruption in journalism. You know...the actual reason Gamergate exists.
So, don't try to stop this movement. You're giving in to the writers who are abusing ignorant readers to divert attention away from their mistakes.
Gamergate isn't a hate movement. It's a movement to stop corruption in the gaming media.
A few idiots shouldn't be able to undermine Gamergate.
GamerGate funds The Fine Young Capitalists a game jam to help women make video games for charity. No one mentions it.
GamerGate has risen almost $14,000 in one day to prevent bullying. No one mentions it.
GamerGate has 1.5 MILLION TWEETS. Everyone dismisses that cause were all white neck-bearded basement dwelling nerds.
GamerGate has REPEATEDLY reported and denounced harrasment, death threats, and doxxing. No one mentions it.
GamerGate has gone on Huffington Post live, with 3 WOMEN, to describe what gamergate is. They say they are just misinformed/mysogynist
A few people, which who never mentioned gamergate in their posts harrased and posted death threats to 3 women, THE MEDIA BENDS OVER BACKWARDS to put these people in the spotlight so they can push their false narrative, that we are just a small hate movement that hate women and don't want to change the gaming industry and the media just laps it up.
Tell me how the media is treating those that are Pro-GG fairly. PLEASE.
Edit: I should also mention that we have been compared to the likes of the Nazis and ISIS. Cause that totally makes 100% sense, right????
