Let the evidence be seen....

So, Felicia Day (an actress and gamer) wrote about her own personal responses to Gamergate, how it's made her change her interactions with people (and it's a painful piece to read), while Chris Kluwe (a football player and gamer) went on a rather delightfully profane rant against the people behind Gamergate.

They went after Felicia, not Chris.

That pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the people behind the (bowel) movement of Gamergate.

Don't identify them as gamers.  Their primary affiliation is as pathetic, vicious trolls who get off on causing harm.

I try to avoid calling people "subhuman" because a lot of very bad shit lies in that direction. But temptation keeps rearing its ugly head . . .

Cowards punch in the direction they think is safest. That's what GG is; another iteration of entitled douchebags in a proxym of rage because the entire world doesn't give them exactly what they want 100% of the time, and stepping WAY over the line.

(I had to step away from the conversation on your FB thread, because I don't want to be a rude guest by setting another guest alight)

I'm getting some surprised praise for being polite in that thread. I don't know why everyone always assumes I tear throats out with my teeth...

*polishes halo*

(well, certainly not on the first or second offense...)

Gods no these people are not gamers. *I* am a gamer, *my husband* is a gamer. *My niece* is a gamer. Many of my friends are.

None of us behave like these people have and do.

They are an insult to the term 'gamer'.

They're vile, sexist trolls.

makes you want to design an adventure game where the Ultimate Prize is to enter the Temple, and the front entrance looks like a vulva, and None May Pass, no matter what they do.. because they dont know what to do to solve that ..

Not just trolls, misogynistic trolls.
