    Being critical of Anita doesn't make you a gamegater.

  3. I heard he and Yoshi have a lot in common.

    Sargon btw is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Benjamin

    BK may not consider himself a GGer though, so you know, you gotta defer to him. But it's sort of like saying if someone is Alt-Right, they probably defend Trump. But someone who supports trump may not consider themselves alt-right.

    Really? What was the outcome of people being critical of drinking?

    sounds like Bonus left out some of the story

    At VidCon 2017, Anita Sarkeesian appeared on a panel discussing online harassment directed towards women. Benjamin and some of his allies, who had frequently criticised Sarkeesian in the past, coordinated to fill the first three rows in the audience and film Sarkeesian.[11][12][13][14] Sarkeesian singled out Benjamin calling him a "garbage human".[15] VidCon founder Hank Green issued a statement stating that Benjamin's and his allies' actions were clear "intimidating behaviour", and apologised for the situation "which resulted in [Sarkeesian] being subjected to a hostile environment that she had not signed up for".[11] Benjamin later said he was not present with the intention of harassing Sarkeesian stating he would like to know how she "would like to be approached".[12] Patreon also investigated the claims of harassment but determined that although they considered his actions "distasteful", Benjamin had not violated their code of conduct.
    He felt the need to get in the first few rows? Hmmmm.


    I feel like some of these people do this stuff just to upset others and get clicks. I doubt he planned to do something. But he wanted a rise so he could have something to talk about.

    Bonuskun, how exactly are Anita Sarkeesian and people like her ruining this hobby?

    I'm asking legitimately by the way. I've seen her make some really weak stretches of logic in her arguments but nothing that makes the level of vitriol and harassment thrown her way seem even understandable, let alone justifiable.

When I was a kid growing up on the Atari 2600, The Commodore 64 and eventually the NES and SNES, I wasn't concerned about if video games were too violent or censored to death. Back then we didn't have games that cost a shitload of money like Destiny did or the whole concept of DLC and microtransactions wasn't a thing back then.

    Now we have countries like Belgium making laws about gambling in video games among other things.

    I was pretty worried about video game censorship back then (I already hated the censorship of third-party games by first-parties). Remember Joe Lieberman?

    False Equivalence.
    You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

    Yeah I definitely remember all the uproar about the censorship stuff. I met Joe a few times via my mother's best friend and once I said something to him about video games not causing violence we never got invited again.
