is this stuff going to top the 4chan-tumblr war?

imo there's good and bad on both sides of the argument. typically the people who A) refuse to listen to the other side or B) are unreasonable about the problem(s) presented tend to be in the wrong(this goes for practically anything), and there's a lot of that surrounding the '(anti-)SJW' argument;
this fiasco is a prime example of how things have really gone wrong. The original anti-SJW cause was that people viewed political correctness as getting out of hand and unreasonable, and started campaigning against it, which snowballed into what can be accurately defined as a circlejerk. They weren't wrong to begin with, but they are now, and the snowballing of their side has caused an equal reaction from the other side of the argument, evolving into this huge rift some describe as a 'war'. Nobody ends up better off for it, and you just get more loud, annoying extremists because they've seen what the vocal now-majority of their opponent has to offer.

I'm legit curious, how have your grammar/typing skills deteriorated within the past year?

misogynistic (sometimes tribal) tendencies.

ok. next time you see a victim of loveual/domestic/any kind of abuse, tell them that. "lol remember when u were abused lolol"

Damn you kicked the stuffing out of that strawman.  This fictional abuse victim you're defending will surely appreciate your gallant service.

Here's the kind of stuff that's actually happening on college campuses:
Quote from: http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/trouble-teaching-rape-law
One teacher I know was recently asked by a student not to use the word “violate” in class—as in “Does this conduct violate the law?”—because the word was triggering.

i don't really care about perfect grammar on the blockland forums.

GG loves to pull the "corruption in the industry!!!" card, but they don't do stuff about it. it's a total lie. the term "it's about ethics in gaming journalism" as become a joke, because it isn't true. GG is just a hub for teenagers to unleash their misogynistic (sometimes tribal) tendencies.
This topic isn't even about gamergate, but okay, if you want to drag up that old news.
It's not a joke at all, yeah a bunch of trolls hijacked the tag and used it as an excuse to harass people. It wasn't even close to the majority.

And saying that gamergate got nothing done is a complete lie.
-Kotaku made a change in it’s policies about writers financially supporting developers, which posed serious conflicts of interest
-The Escapist changed it’s ethics policy

-TFYC funded (unsure of exact amount via GG) ( https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-fine-young-capitalists--2#/ )
-Intel pulled ads from Gamasutra
-Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) pulled ads from Gamasutra

yes, because feminational socialists and SJWs rampantly abuse legitimate terms to suit their own petty pissfits.

yes, because feminational socialists and SJWs rampantly abuse legitimate terms like triggered to suit their own petty pissfits.
now you believe in triggering, that's step 1... good...
step 2 is to stop using dumbass words like "feminational socialists" and "sjw" (also realize that the majority of (intersectional) feminists use the word correctly. stop cherry-picking, please)

also, just to be clear, i don't think anyone really means to say that people can be exempt from starfish status because of their ideology. that'd be silly. if you're being overtly dismissive and contentious with someone, you're an starfish, whether you claim to be doing it for justice or to call attention to a problem or whatever

the problem i have with this tag is that it seems to connote some kind of hostility or passive aggressiveness, which is premium starfish shouting territory. i'm sure there are plenty of people being perfectly reasonable about it, but forgetin "The Triggering" just sounds to me like a movement to be as much of an starfish as possible just so that you can be challenged about it

i haven't even looked at the tag, that's just my gut reaction

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA

"Listen and believe"


because you use meme-words that the internet has twisted around so much and it just makes you look a tad bit foolish

every time i look at the gamergate hashtag, it's always offensive, misogynist, tribal stuff
rarely is it about "ethics in gaming journalism"
