Found on the Twitter. Here.
And a couple bonus pics that aren’t quite as inexplicable, but which are pretty ridiculous. From here and here. #WinningHeartsAndMinds #YesDudesImSureYoureAsBraveAsThatChineseGuyWhoStoodInFrontOfTheTanks

As a Classics student, the misogamy one is especially painful. WORDS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.
I hereby decree that misogamy now be the name for the thin film that forms on miso soup if you leave it out too long.
Misogamy means the hearted of marriage. These people are not very smart.
The MRAs have used the term Misofeminy in an attempt to shift the purported hate from women to feminists but thats a new one.
Barnburner: but they talk about women and feminists interchangeably, so of course that new word of theirs doesn’t work.
Give the real definition of “misogamy” and #GamerGate’s huge overlap with MRA/TRP/etc, I think we know which side is packed with misogamists.
What a shame misogamy already has a meaning, hatred of marriage, since the -gamy suffix (e.g. monogamy, bigamy, polygamy) comes from the Greek γάμος, meaning marriage. Though any alternate definition involving miso soup is certainly likely to be scrumptious.
Sadly, its come down to a war of words and that is sort of like a propaganda war. In their little minds its about who can best ‘sell’ a particular philosophy to the American public.
I’m not down with any hatred of miso, which is delicious. It’s also quite good for you, so clearly it has no relation to gamergate.
It’s funny because literally none of my gamer friends are remotely offended nor feel threatened by criticisms of GG and are actually embarrassed and outspoken about the Gators. It’s as if they know they aren’t part of the problem.
Also, doesn’t this mean that MGTOW are misogamists? Oh dear, looks like gamergate has to oppose them too.
Admittedly, my gaming is limited to Duck Hunt.
I love Duck Hunt.
*reads*
Misogamy?! Thats… not how words work.
Aaahhahahahaha!
Oh gods, I’m choking on my tea. Send help.
Sorry to spam – does anyone know what the gentles in the “Communist China” image are doing?
The funny thing for me is that my friend’s boyfriend worked for a major gaming media site, and judging by what he had to say most of the people working there had pretty much the same attitude towards women the gamergate dudes do. Think how well they’d get along if the gamergate dudes weren’t so determined to see themselves as a persecuted minority.
@marinerachel
It looks like they are inflating life rings. For what purpose, I could not say.
It really is a room full of mirrors.
I found a happy thing that some of you may have seen, a wonderful woman’s response to a sexist review to her performance in the UK where she (gasp) had a “wardrobe malfunction”. I can’t link, my monitor died so I am on my tablet and none too clever at it, but if you search Amanda palmer dear daily mail you will find it. It is pretty great.
So misogamy either means hatred of marriage, or marrying miso…
Oh hey, I just found a WHTM-appropriate image to illustrate the gamergate approach to gaming. It has a cat and everything!

More like misgamy, amiright?
They do look like kisby rings. I’ve never seen them with a joint but it makes sense, given how hard it is to pull the damn things up over your hips or down over your shoulders and chest to get them around your waist on dry land. I can only imagine how trying it would be in an emergency situation.
I…. still don’t understand the reference. Foolish of me to expect it to make sense, coming from those goons.
zennurse: That was mostly a lovely retort (lost a half-point for the use of ‘twats’ as a slur, but only a half-point, because the rest was brilliant).
Misgamy (n): A cultural phenomenon wherein the traditional marriage ceremonies all center around the cooking and consumption of miso soup, mainly practiced by weeaboo sects of the Pastafarians.
Gah, stupid typo–shoulda been ‘Misogamy (n)’, etc.
They tried to make rings out of Pocky but had to give up because there was no mom around to clean up the resulting mess.
8chan had a little gamergate party at a strip club says NY magazine, it really says it all about the mentality behind this. They seem thrilled with the coverage, taking the reporter back to F. Brennan’s apt for the after party with no awareness how terrible the coverage will be. The photo is hilarious. I’m sorry I cant link for you.
8chan, Stormfront, Forney, Aurini and Toto, Brietbart. What a crew.
