Did you just point out that those people insulted men twice as much as they insulted women?
Women who weren't there. The men were there.
When women are present in the discussion, the numbers skyrocket.

The Prez wants to hang with Aurini, because bitches, man.
I'm just using the vocabulary of GamerGate to talk to a Gamergator.
Don't believe me?

I just did a cursory count on that 8chan GamerGate page. It's their clubhouse.
The word "autist" or "aut" appears 17 times.
The word "nigger" appears 8 times
The word "faggot" appears 26 times
These are the words they use when addressing each other. But when it comes to referring to women, they lose all creativity.
"Cunt" appears 12 times. "Slut" appears 5 times. "Pig" appears 3 times (in reference to a woman). "Whale" appears 5 times (again, in reference to a woman's appearance). I can go on, but I've got to get up early tomorrow.
Just in case you think I was being hyperbolic when I said I was speaking to the Gamergator in his own language.
If you wonder how GamerGate got it's reputation a for misogyny..

...a small formfactor regular Bluetooth keyboard strapped directly to your wrist would be more practical than the entire glove for this, especially since needlessly constraining the hand and fingers doesn't appear to add any functionality, just inhibit movement.
The artist in the video seems to be doing all right.
Anyway, who's to say what's best for an artist? I mean, Picasso painted the Sistine Chapel while lying on his back and that had to really suck, not to mention it cost him an ear.
Progressive in press release say 'we hypothesize it's because nerds don't party or stay out late'
Nonsense, I've been to board game parties where 6 of us went through almost a whole quart of 3.2 beer. We rocked the house until almost 10:30pm. I mean, it was a work night after all and I had to get home to watch the DOTA2 quarterfinals on Twitch.tv.
And yet, even with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of persuasion, not to mention all the coddling and discriminatory policies in favour of females, nothing has changed.
Actually a great deal has changed. It drew GamerGate out of the sewer and exposed the ugly side to men in tech.
Now it's on the front page. The neckbeards got the last thing they wanted, attention. And sunlight is a great disinfectant.
I thought we were talking specifically about the disproven child porn charges and not your little SJW anti-gamer spin-job?
Sorry, I had my autists mixed up. Here you go:
No the reason they are doing that, is the same reason they are doing that in every industry. Lowering costs is good for profits, its a simple as that.
And nothing is more expensive than a workforce that nobody wants to be around.
Seriously, anyone here who works in tech: What do you think of the quality of your co-workers? Do you think maybe there's room for some improvement? When you've got senior tech guys talking in a mixed room who are making frat-boy jokes about their dicks, I guarantee you're not going to get the best people for the job.
Lol, the Daily Dot as a source.
Don't like that one? Here, take your pick of over 100 references:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
I realize you don't think Wikipedia is as authoritative a source as Encyclopedia Dramatica, but...Oh, just fuck off, aut.
And for the record I'd advise local law enforcement to put up signs telling kids they should not feel welcome on your lawn. Ugh, Lena Dunham anyone? 500 yards or more champ.
And yet, it's your clubhouse that has put out the welcome mat for pedos.
You're not getting it. I'm not talking about gestures
$300million is a pretty broad gesture. With other companies following suit.
You ever hear of a company investing money in hiring more gamers? Hell, even game dev companies don't hire gamers any more ever since Early Access replaced beta testers.
Except for the part where such a twenty-something girl doesn't actually exist. Sure, there are twenty-something girls with blue hair and piercings (you see plenty of neat people in the city) but they don't write code.
Actually, they do, and one of them has become one of GamerGate's prime targets. Her name is Randi Harper, and she goes by "FreeBSDgirl". She wrote the GamerGate autoblocker for twitter. All by herself without a big strapping gamerboy to help her. She's got blue hair, piercings, and writes better code than you.
I'm glad you're flat-out admitting that you're anti-gamer
I've been playing video games since before you were born.
d that this isn't really about "rights" or whatever social justice bullshit the SJWs like to pretend it is.
And you just admitted that it's not about "ethics in game journalism".
The industry is trying to cut their payroll by any means necessary
And the reason they're doing that is staring at you in the mirror.
yet on the other hand keep the Internet running so you can make fun of them.
The people who "keep the internet running" have nothing to do with the sad little manbaby dinosaurs that are being pushed out of tech.
