I liked this comment on the MSNBC clip – “Whenever a large group , in this case, mainstream media, gets the pitch forks out. You know you need to follow the money. In this case advertizing. Considering women make up 80% of consumption; it makes sense that the media targets “misogynistic white cis males””
The obfuscation games these GG gamebros are playing are so ridiculous.
“Women make up 80% of consumption”, presumably because wimminz liek shopping amirite?
Women are 80% of tuberculosis cases? Should I be scared?
Any soda jerks here? This week gamergate was discussed at the end of the episode.
Their take on it warmed the hackles of my shriveled, black, feminist heart.

Here’s some GG level intelligent thought on slavery. (Don’t be drinking anything when you read this because the spit take will destroy your computer)

And…here is the take of a journalist who actually went to the chat forums for GG.

I’m too lazy to track down the original.
@CassandraKitty
The cat in that video looked totally familiar, and then it hit me. It’s a real life Maneki Neko!
@Shaun:
It started as a post on Reddit, then Jesse Singal expanded it a little and published it here. 🙂
My favourite part is where he says you could almost have a little bit of respect for them if they’d just admit their little gang is 95% motivated by anti-progressivism rather than anything else:
Strivingally – great excerpt. I’m chuffed that I got the Lebowski reference, despite never having seen the movie.
My son and I laughed so hard at this.
And empanada is a funny word, the whole thing is just priceless.
Now if gamer gate really was that garbled, maybe people woudn’t need to call the FBI and leave their homes. Hilarious none the less.
Hey, don’t look at the Gamergomers. Those goalposts just got up and walked all by themselves!
It’s saddening that when I read “gaters” now, I think of these folks instead of my fellow Stargate fans.
Ditto with “gators” meaning these bros, and not adorable reptiles relatively closely related to avians.
Oh, and now for some reason GGers back to ZQ’s sex life because she once did porn or something.
But JOURNALISM. And ETHICS. And LET’S CALL ZOE A WHORE AGAIN.
These garbagelords don’t even realise how incoherent and hateful they look to outside observers.
Dear gawd. An epiphany just epiphed. Empanadas, if filled with pork, ARE Pig Newtons! Somebody alert Louis…
