GamerGate, Misogyny, and Why it's Relevant to General DUers

24. Go back and review the comments

And compare them to the Breitbart talking points above. How am I paranoid when they are dragging Social Justice Warriors, Anita Sarkeesian and "Corrupt Journalists" (i.e. women who talk about misogyny sleeping with gaming reviewers) into the equation?

The remarks you mention were all provoked through the needling of the guy in question. His use of gaming imagery brought on replies that used gaming imagery. He's the one that brought up cherries.

I only planned to make one comment in that thread about gaming - that this a source of the trivialization of rape. Those other commenters were the ones who came in and insisted on make it a GamerGate debate. I mentioned that I have no problem with gaming and I'm actually the wrong target for that debate several times, but they just went on trying to nitpick and bring their talking points against an argument I wasn't making - i.e., trying to win the GamerGate debate all over again.

I repeatedly said it then, and I'll say it again: people use the term rape in a casual way while gaming, and that's a place kids get exposed to it. Guys should take some responsibility and deal with it in amongst themselves.

I "suggest" you take that as good advice instead of clinging to the GamerGate bandwagon.
