I don't know what Tea Party is and I don't care. Milo just got involved because he saw an opportunity , and someone sent him the leaked email conversations and now he's reaping the benefits. It's not a political thing. We have many liberals or libertarians or democrats or whatever twitter. Having it being a conservative conspiracy is just another gaming media invention, just like it was a misogynyst conspiracy to drive women out of gaming.
lol at Polygon calling registered democrat feminist Christina Sommers as a conservative, or trying to rebute her with an autotune song.
Sorry you feel that way. That's not what's going on at least from my perspective .Different kinds of people on twitter, we funded two charities, just want to stop these assholes who want to politicize our hobby. Now maybe I shouldn't generalize SJW's I've tlked to at least a few good people who called themselves that, you're right. But 90% of them sucked. Superiority complex, think they have a moral high-ground, bigots, sexists, racists ignoring all facts.Attacking and trolling us for weeks trying to get us to stop tweeting friendly, now someone sent a syringe to someones house and threaten our guys on twitter, Can't let them have any affect on video game development. You think I care about what Kotaku or Polygon do with themselves?No, they have effects on developers, on peoples lives even.
This sort of justification of the vitriol is another reason the gaming community is coming out of this look really bad.
I wasn't trying to justify the personal tweeter attacks she's got or anything really serious she's been trough. If the FBI is handling it, good I want it handled. But that's what happens when you make such accusations then allow for no debates or comments. If she approached it more friendly, interacting with her audience or actually playing some some games, streaming, pointing out what could be better , instead of ominously throwing around accusations and developers and gamers. But she doesn't want that. She's getting the exact reaction she wants to get.
But yeah I might have took it too far, hate is a strong word. Dislike, I should have used dislike.
@GreySeal9: Oh, I'm not making anyone to be righteously angry (would be a fun power to have though). I'm making it clear that your claim of the SJW community "not being as toxic as the gamming community" is utter bulshit.
Get real. It's a political ideology that got into gaming only to further expand itself, not to actually try and fix anything. Otherwise you wouldn't have "Sarkeesian's" (someone who admitted to actually never being into video-games in the first place) leading the movement, you'd have actually reasonable and balanced people.
You're entitled to think my claim is bullshit, but the crazy witch hunts are what made this whole thing escalate. From the moment Anita posted her first Tropes video, which was not even offensive, gamers went batshit.
Because she's taking everything out of context while she calls gamers, developers and games themselves misogynistic and woman haters. Being called something terrible like that will piss you off especially when you aren't. She made $160.000, she steals footage from other people. Disables ratings, comments engages in no discussion and no debates. Been debunked by at least ten different notable people on youtube. And then you have all these cronies and followers that have taken over journalism and infiltrated every website telling you hers is the word of god and if you have any criticism against her you automatically hate women. She's full of shit they're full of shit, people have every right to hate her just like any controversial celebrity.
Here's a good video response to her and why people get such a reaction.
