Not caring about stuff isn't cool you know. A lot of evils in the world are caused by the apathy of the general populace.

There are more pressing matters in the world than sexism and rampant feminazis. You lose by default by giving them the attention they seek.

Social justice is one of the core problems plagueing Western society. It might seem like I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. They corrupt entertainment media, they give women all the power in society through things like giving them comparatively more wages, more legal power against men in things like divorce and rape claims, they destroy freedom of speech and encourage the state to make even more draconian laws regarding what you can do and say, and they flood our country with undesirable racial and religious groups. Anita Sarkeesian and the GG bitches are just a small part of a much larger problem.

Oh I'm sure that people have sent her death threats, but you also have to consider that being a victim is literally how Anita makes a living. As such, I wouldn't put it past her to make a fake account every now and then to send herself excessive threats like the ones in the picture just to show it off to the public so she can get some more pity donations.
I never really cared about that whole thing though, and I'm not about to start caring about it either.

But guess who made her a victim to begin with...Gamergate. I won't argue with you further because I want to believe you said that out of ignorance and mob mentality (I think you're an alright guy, mostly?), but let me just elaborate on another point for everyone here

Get this: Sarkeesian was never very popular to begin with - she was just another nobody on the internet who happened to like talking about Sexism in video games. But Gamergate found her and made her a somebody. Y'all gave her so much publicitiy that now she's been hugely successful and was able to fund her kickstarter project. Ironically, you people made her successful

Everyone wants attention. That's basic human psychology? lol

And this leads me to a few things I want to talk about. 1. You realise the "FEMINAZIS!!!!!!" insult loses weight when you host actual Nazi conversations on your forums, right? You can't deride Feminists by comparing them to the horrible Nazis (which is what the word tries to do) when you affiliate with Nazis yourself lmao

2. Just a general meta-cognition thing unrelated to Gamergate but humans can think and discuss about more than one issue. "There are more important things to talk about" is really unproductive thinking.

To this day I still have no idea what gamergate is all about.

All gamergate tries to do is to make sure game journalism isn't a piece of shit. All those people attacking feminists are to gamergate what ISIS is to islam.

I am very happy I completely avoided and ignored everything related to gamergate, so we're in the same boat there
