@toast_burner: That's not true, GG is over 150k that contains gamers and not all gamers don't want anything to do with it. They're just neutral. You're conflating the two

"There's no sexism in gaming!" *shows footage of a female gamer being hit on by a male gamer* "THERE'S NO SEXISM IN GAMING!"
you're claiming that you can't do the same thing to men?
Ok, let's say women hit on men as much as men hit on women in gaming (which they do not). It's still rude and unwarranted and doesn't change the fact that it's still sexist. If you can be sexist as a women, it doesn't neutralize the sexism from the male side. Christ...
wait so it's now considered sexist to hit on a member of the opposite sex? I have been married for years...but when I was in the dating game... that was par for the course... Did the millennial generation of "your special" and "you win every game" just come of age or something? My god... and the men who white knight this lady who bad mouths guys... wtf! Seriously... The political correct bull on the internet is getting out of hand. Thank god I can speak my point of view on some sites (unlike the hive mind that is neogaf the banning fascist sjw regime that has risen up there in the last year).
Maybe my 1980s-early 90s gen x gen was different. I grew up playing AD&D, listening to metal music, playing video games and hanging out with lots of friends from both sexes. No one ever said they were offended by anything video game related (or anything at all). All the fantasy and sci-fi book, game, and movie covers had women dressed in metal bikinis and we were all enamored by the artwork. Hell the guys were dressed similarly too... The artwork in those days was fantastic. If it was used today, people would cry misogynistic , sexist... blah blah blah.... uggh... I never even heard that word until last year... In fact they did... remember the outrage some people had for Dragons Crown... lol....
I feel like I am in the twilight zone. One day I woke up and men were sticking up for a feminist who is against gaming and gamers (and men who aren't toeing her party line)... She is using some of the same crap that Jack Thompson did a decade ago... what, white knights support her because she is a chick? She has some of the same messages as old Jack, which everyone rallied against...but now it's some chick and certain people feel they need to defend? I bet if we put an old guy/or unattractive gal up there on stage and have them give the same speeches, videos etc... most of the supporters would either not listen or be against it.
There is nothing wrong with being a gamer... I am not apart of gamersgate, but I will defend gamers and the pursuit of looking at beautiful women in art all day long. Imagine how boring the world would be if all media was drab plain ordinary people and nothing was pushing boundaries... I know a few regimes in the mid 20th century who censored art too...is this what some of you want? What also is so funny is these same people have no problem with the porn industry. If they feel gaming is sexist and "misogynistic" where is the outrage on the industry that actually is.. the industry that makes women into straight up prostitutes and objects? Instead they are rallying against video games...
