And they paid less than a rounding error on their net domestic profits alone.

Let's start with the entire financial meltdown. How many CEOs in jail so far?

The US already has laws for that.

They'll put it on a carrier or other large hull because it takes an enormous amount of power, requires a lot of spare parts, and physics dictates the recoil's going to be an absolute bitch.

And once-a-fucking-GAIN I will repeat this to you, because you are trolling by deliberately refusing to understand plain english:

You are cutting a quarter in half and claiming that tails and heads are not part of the same coin. You are deliberately refusing to accept that these things are inherently inseperable because part of the very heart of the problem is that these corrupt journalists are using the brand-power of feminism as a weapon. You can't NOT deal with that because the entire root of their corruption goes back to their toxic clique, which has fully drunk the kool aid of a toxic cult which uses the language and appearance of "social justice" for leverage and power.

These are not two seperate things, these things are one and the same. Every thing these journalists do they justify by claiming to do in the name of feminism, and every time they're criticized they hide behind feminism is a shield and scream "misogyny". They use the power and social leverage that "feminism" gives them to bully and abuse others, and they suck up to "feminist" figureheads like Sarkeesian and McIntosh.

Sarkeesian is directly relevant to ethical journalism because she has defrauded people for hundreds of thousands of dollars, stolen and plagiarized her work, misrepresented or outright lied about videogames to the point she's started public hysteria that got games censored or pulled from shelves, and gaming journalists do nothing but repeat her word as gospel truth. More than that they actively seek out and pillory anyone who dares to dissent from the church of Social Justice.

Your problem is that you are deliberately refusing to accept that the unethical behavior at the root of this is directly tied to SJWism, and that SJWism is itself one of the serious ethical breaches of gaming journalism.

You're not confused about anything. I've explained that issue in almost every post and you continue to troll by pretending to be obtuse.

You're the one that doesn't understand the key component here: What gamergate says or does is irrelevant to the media narrative. These people are deliberately weaponizing the brand power of "feminism" regardless of what anyone says or does. That very toxicity is itself a core part of the problem.

As for your last line that's just one more thing tipping your hand that you're trolling instead of actually confused or interested. You're setting up a catch-22. Because nobody has shown up saying I'm wrong you condemn gamergate, if someone HAD done that you could have instead condemned it for not having a consistent message.

There's a lot of disagreement in GG. There's also a lot of agreement and consensus.

Don't legitimize the DMCA further by asking for "exceptions", the argument should be that things like remote servers and always-connected DRM are illegal violations of a consumer's property rights.

I said click for a reason.

"this member of the public" is clearly just a troll pretending to be civil going by the fact you're literally contradicting even yourself half the time.

Exactly. Clicking a button is clicking a button no matter how someone moves the mouse or presses on it but even if we had 100% perfect voice recognition we'd still be stuck when it comes time to do something with that. There's an enormous number of ways to say the same thing in most languages, and often many phrases that can mean entirely different things depending on context.

Standing on the Soap Box didn't work and the use of the Ballot Box has been corrupted by gerrymandering and at this point blatant bribery. The only question now is whether the people will have a chance to sit in the Jury Box or if they will be forced to turn to the last resort of all defenses of liberty, the Ammo Box.

And now you're right back to the disingenuous argument I already called out several posts back: Arbitrarily excluding something by fiat pretending that somehow you are the supreme arbiter of what is or isn't relevant and then declaring judgment by your arbitrary, and impossible to satisfy standards.

I have explicitly addressed this exact point multiple times including the very post you are addressing. I have repeated it in such clear terms, and so many times, that there is simply no possible way for you to be posting in good faith and still have missed it.

Gamergate is opposed by a tightly knit toxic clique of spoiled rich kids, a majority if not totality of which embrace a violent and bigoted cult-like ideology which leverages the brand-power of "feminism" and the appearance of "social justice" in order to strongarm those they target and shield themselves from criticism. Part of their subscription to that cult is an unquestioning and radically zealous participation in personality cults surrounding people like Sarkeesian/McIntosh, Wu, and anyone else fulfilling either the "enlightened feminist leader" or "oppressed victim" archetypes within their ideological framework.

Gaming journalists, in their zealous loyalty to this cult-like ideology, have acted as a megaphone for lies and FUD about videogames rivalling the Satanic Panic of the 80's but this time targeting "misogyny" rather than alleged satanistic rituals. In addition to their increasing moralistic bullying of developers resulting in censorship over recent years their acceptance and preaching of Sarkeesian/McIntosh's outright lies and misrepresentations as gospel truth has stirred up anti-videogame hysteria to such a fevered pitch that games are getting outright pulled from shelves.

That's why all of this is tied up in gaming journalism. Because gaming journalism has become a bully pulpit from which SJWism is preached, using its power and influence to blacklist or blackmail anyone that GameJournoPros members or the SJW leaders they're loyal to dislike.

Exactly. The problem isn't frustration with different interface schemes, the problem is that they don't fucking work. I use several different programs with buttons and menus in different arrangements, but when I click a button the button is bloody well clicked regardless of where exactly it is. Voice recognition on the other hand is simply too unreliable.

1. The principal grievances are against the major gaming journalism websites and leading members of the leaked GameJournoPros list, parallel to that is the issue of an incredibly toxic and bigoted cult-like ideology which masquerades as "feminism" or "social justice" which has a number of major figureheads who the aforementioned GJP members essentially bow down to.

2. Blacklisting, bribery, blackmail, collusion, favoritism, plagiarism, theft, wholeheartedly promoting an absolutely toxic ideology that encourages violence to the point children are growing up thinking threatening other children with rape and murder is being a "good feminist", basically turning into Jack Thompson 2.0 but actually succeeding in getting games censored and pulled from shelves, and increasingly there's evidence for racketeering six digit sums or more. And all of this is before you consider the outright criminal attacks against those protesting them which have included people getting their bank accounts hacked, losing jobs to racially targeted harassment, and getting knives, syringes, and dead animals in the mail.

3. All attempts over the years at asking for self policing, ditching the toxicity, and reform have utterly failed and resulted in severe backlash from those involved in the corruption. When directly protested they immediately started up the "harassment of women" narrative, going so far as to pay the GNAA for fake tweets and simply make things up from whole cloth while continuing to publicly encourage and even engage in criminal attacks far more often and more severe than anything they claimed to be a victim of.

4a. Because these people are using the staggering social power that the name-brand of "feminism" and the image of female victimhood gives them this requires a massive social response from the bottom up. It requires a combination of claiming "feminism" no longer being an instant "I Win" button in any situation and widespread recognition of the facts.

4b.The FTC is in a position to address to address some concerns which fall under their regulatory purview, which they in fact have.

5. In a perfect world they all break free of the unhealthy and violent cult that they've joined and toxic SJWism becomes widely discredited and expunged from feminism as a whole, leading to hateful bigots like Marcotte getting thrown out and con artists/nutcases like Sarkeesian/McIntosh seen as crackpots and scammers. Since that's almost certainly not going to happen the next best thing is these bigots and con artists being seen for what they are and at least abandoned and left to wither like Jack Thompson was, with their rhetoric of fear, hate, and disempowerment largely discredited. Once the means by which they justify and spread their corruption is taken care of (your "culture") serious regulatory reform such as the formal adoption of the SPJ can take place. That can't happen until AFTER the SJWism is dealt with though because it's necessary to be able to criticise and hold people responsible for violating ethics policies... you can't do that with SJWs. As we've seen with gamergate they simply lie and hide behind "feminism", using it as a weapon to smear their opponents and a shield against all criticism.

6a. Very effective actually. The sheer level of violence, hate, and toxicity coming from the GJP supporters and SJWs has discredited them in the eyes of many and the sheer quantity and depth of their lies has led to a lot of the general public learning just how much the media lies to them (at least on these subjects). It's becoming routine for the latest lie filled hit-piece to come out and a few hundred to a few thousand people to join gamergate in disgust.

6b. A majority of major gaming journalism websites have either voluntarily undertaken ethical reforms, or they were forced by the FTC to at the very least stop scamming people with undisclosed native advertising and referral links thanks to gamergate's lobbying for regulatory reform in that area.

The difference is quantitative, not qualitative. The near universal history of abuses internet Great Firewalls have is well documented, one being semi or wholly mandatory just makes it a bigger threat.
