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

37. If you want to know why gamers

are very opposed to the whole SJW influencing their beloved hobby, you only need to look at what they did to the youtube atheist community. This was a community that was very active, they had conferences, debates, put out god quality videos and talks every month. But after the whole atheist plus deal, the community was divided, people who had no idea what misogyny is were accused of being one and the community right now is a shell of its former self.

This is what is being resisted in the gaming community where we have Anita Sarkisian coming out from no where to tell the community that their beloved hobby is misogynist. She started with her series which made some good point but wasn't a correct representation of the gaming. Lots of people tried to correct her on some of the points she made but she ignored just about every rational,level headed opposition. She only payed attention to the trolls and hate comments that came her way and the troll caught on and did what trolls do best.

She did not care to have a dialogue with the gaming community, all she wanted was to spread her message. The backlash got even worse when gamers learned that she wasn't even a gamer and was lying the whole time. All of this is not because she was a girl, her attempt to smear gaming was the problem. Had a guy pulled the same stunt Anita is pulling, he would have been run out of town even faster than they run Anita out of town

Then here are some of the well made rebuttal to her critique about video games.

Gamers just want to game, they do not want to participate is some social experiment with Anita.
