Vivian James is a real person? Is there one single crazy person who even said that as a joke?
Gamergate demands money? Apart from the documentary that most people didn't want from the start and actually told people to not donate, haven't all the other things been donations to unaffiliated charities, through official donation sites? The money that antigamers raise goes straight into each others pockets. Every time they've tried to raise money for good causes, they've made nothing, but they almost rival GGs donations when giving to each other through through patreon.
Violently attacks 'non-beleivers'. If you are against gamergate, you're gonna get some people that disagree with you wanting to debate you. If you call gamergaters terrorists and misogynists, you're probably gonna get an angry response. There's literally been zero 'violence' from any side. Threats of violence from both. Actually, gamergaters are the only ones to be sent physical threats such as knifes and syringes through the mail, no antigamer has had to deal with that. Also, GG aren't the ones that constantly say things like "If you don't believe X, you're a misogynist/racist/terrorist.". Most GG people wants people to make their own mind up and are open to discussion, antis seem to pressure and manipulate. Look at this sub compared to Ghazi, you can disagree here, over there it literally gets you banned. Which one sounds more like a cult?
Insane actor cheerleading as it's frontman. I had to think for a while before I even knew who he was talking about, Baldwin? He's only the frontman to them because he's an easy target, has he actually been involved accept for spawning in the name? I don't like Baldwin, Nero, Fart, or Ralph.. they all seem extreme.. but they get called out and discussed. You don't see many GG people sacrificing themselves defending words like you do with Anita or Brianna.. That's one reason why GG is here in the first place, because of the 'all or nothing' with that crowd. Many here, including myself, think Anita has some points even though I completely disagree with her on a lot of it. It's a interesting discussion to be had.. but the exclusive praise she got was frustrating. She says things like "Players are meant to derive a perverse pleasure from desecrating the bodies of unsuspecting virtual female characters. It’s a rush streaming from a carefully concocted mix of sexual arousal, connected to the active controlling and punishing representations of female sexuality.".. Can you not see why this type of thing being criticized, or even talked about might get fans of that game pissed? I do not get off on desecrating female bodies or punishing female sexuality, I don't get offended but that stings.
Threatens people who talk about leaving.. there's a lot of people that left, people are coming and going all the time, has even one person been threatened?
It's just more extreme talk that helps nobody. I can't understand how some of these people called out SVU when they're saying the same things.
