Oh, OK. To be clear, I wouldn't have a problem with any of those asshole's views if they just did what everybody else does and bitch to like-minded assholes in a circle jerk. However, if they're gonna cross lines, I have no problem exposing them as pathetic pieces of shit through snarky articles.
Easy with the "B-Word" it's degrading to women you uncultured male.

I do think Anita Sarkesian gets harassed way too much and in many ways I agree with at least part of her message. Games do tend to favor men, with male main characters and always rescuing females. When any changes are made that might make some games more friendly to new demographics, like a "story mode" for games, many gamers react like their games are being destroyed. The silly uproar over a "just story and no fighting" mode in dragon age 2, or anders asking out other male characters. The outrage over that shit is absurd.
But the fact is, male developers are going to develop games from that viewpoint. That's not to say male writers aren't capable from writing from the perspective of female characters, but write what you know. Movies get this criticism all the time, but when a female writer comes up and writes a great screenplay from the female perspective, she gets applauded (and rightfully so, but lets keep some consistency)

Circle jerk? Why is everything sexual with you? You can disagree with someone, but KEEP THEIR PENISES OUT OF IT
(and their assholes too, for that matter)

Morons have been inventing correlations out of thin air forever. "Journalists" make money off of it. Video games cause mass shootings, D&D leads to devil worship, sex education and access to contraception leads to kids having sex, etc. So here we go again. Some people said some horrible things on the internet. So now there's a gamer culture and it's to blame because just shut up and give my article more hits so we can make more money.
Did you even read the article? He wasn't "blaming" video games. He's a gamer and so am I, for Christ's sake. He was offering a reasonably interesting take on why assholes do the shit they do. You're the one insisting on turning it into "gaming culture killed my babies".

If they were all girls, would you be calling them cunts? Just curious, as that was a big part of your argument

Never pretended someone else's problems weren't real. Your non sequitur doesn't magically become valid with the passage of time.
White culture, rape culture, gun culture, and now gaming culture. No culture is too imaginary for an SJW to talk out of their ass about it. Gotta keep churning out those meaningless articles.
Fuck you for making me go back 2 pages.
And in case you'd like to claim that quote is not indicative of you pretending someone else's problems aren't real, Cad picked up the ball for you:

Thats just a re-wording of not agreeing with you. If we don't agree their problems are real, we aren't "pretending". They aren't fucking real, in our opinion. Then you call us assholes for not agreeing with you, based on race. Racism. Reported.
To Cad: This is the second time in 2 days you've expressed an interest in getting me RRPed. Am I that threatening to you, or are you just pissed that I was the one to expose you as a pathetic fraud?

Not threatening at all, you're just a sad excuse for a poster, and this board would be better off without you.

And you're so edgy with claiming I'm a fraud. Right in the feels with that. Keep saying it, one day, it'll get me and I'll admit my lies to you. You're on the right track.

Keep looking for definitions of terrorism that you think match whatever your point is to save yourself from looking like a real real dumb.

Does Tanoomba realize he's proving that sexual terms as a form of online belittling are not exclusive to females right in this very thread? talk about being blinded by your beliefs

I think "assholes" would work just fine for females too.
Circle jerk too, then? You've never called anyone a dick before, I hope. Nice move to address my posts when a softball comes up though.

So if I tell a female to go get laid, it's okay because men can go get laid too?

What about the countless sexual references thrown your way? Not going to address those?

You understand that words have slightly variable interpretations in different contexts, right? That's the whole reason dictionaries give multiple definitions instead of a "one size fits all" definition. If you call in a bomb threat that forces a plane to land, you will be accused of terrorism even if there was no bomb. No violence at all. The definition you quoted doesn't "override" the one I quoted. they are both right depending on context.

When you try to make someone fear for their life in order to get them to do something (in this case, to get someone to shut up about women in video games), you are using terrorism (hence the "terror" interrorism).
