Yeah, I've been out of state for a day. And just came back to look at the thread.Mischief Maker wrote:Fer crying out loud!
The only people shitting up this thread right now are the ones scampering about with their hands in the air shrieking, "Eek! Eek! Someone's talking about gamergate! Lock the thread and cut out their tongues! We don't want to be associated with those people!"
All the people actually talking about gamergate are having a calm and civil discussion, in case you didn't notice.
A little surprised at the "lock this thread! don't talk about it!" stuff in it.
From what I can tell, this isn't a hostile, ban happy forum. I thought we could at least share our opinions on it. If you're anti-gamergate, fine. I don't agree with you, but if that's your thing, go for it. I just feel that most of GG is not about the misogyny thing, and the journalists and SJWs are hiding behind it.
And to tell people to get rid of the GG tag, that's just impossible. It's the movement now. If people changed it, it would lose any momentum, and numbers that is has. Which is probably what SJWs would quite like, I'm sure.
I don't why we can't have a semi-controversial topic, that is related to games here. And I haven't seen a thread dedicated to it. I just some discussion of it in SkyKid's "Internet Shitstorm of the week" thread. But it covers various things.

I'm sure you'll all cope.
Why is a gamers' forum the last place you would expect this to pop up?Kaiser wrote:I'm up for "Lock the Gamergate threads", we don't need this GG and SJW bullshit in here, this is the last place I expected for such a thread to pop up and you sir have brought it here. I'm not anti, i'm not pro, i'm not in the middle, I oppose anything related to this stuff.
