  - b. i'm going to add my .02 cents here, but there's more to GamerGate that these articles aren't even mentioning, which is really, part of the problem. - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 16:23 4
    - probably linked from here, I read a really different account of what happened with the FYC and quinn - including 4chan's involvement with the former - b. Oct 14, 16:40
    - The article b. linked clearly and definitely says that the stuff you cover in your IM is penny ante bullshit compared to the real corruption in gaming -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 16:28 2
      - And what do you see as the real corruption in gaming? -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 16:35
      - Ah, missed the Kluwe recommended article she linked. My apologies. - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 16:34
  - don't attempt to unravel their logic. that way lies madness....nm - x Oct 14, 15:50 2
    - I can see that, but that particular thing keeps standing out to me. like maybe it's all a smokescreen. - b. Oct 14, 16:03
    - Yep. And yep. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 14, 15:52
Note: GamerGate was not mentioned once in the article. - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 15:35 8
- I should have said Gamergate-ish loon -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 15:37
- it's in the article. -- nm - b. Oct 14, 15:36 6
  - whoops. it's there right above the image at the bottom of it. -- nm - b. Oct 14, 15:37 5
    - Clarification, there's nothing in the article tying this threat to GamerGate, other than the artcile saying "....have been reported to be a part of... - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 15:47 4
      - Oh, we'll then. As long as it's not GamerGate, that's okay then. - znufrii Oct 14, 16:09 1
        
        That's not what I said at all. -- nm - Scots-IrishStephen Oct 14, 16:26
      - I was going to ask if Anita Sarkeesian's involvement and the topic of the discussion isn't enough, as she's been mentioned in pretty much everything I - b. Oct 14, 16:01
      - these days, sloppy is the best that can be hoped for. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 15:57
near as i can tell from the last couple of weeks, people who play videogames are pretty much just the worst....nm - x Oct 14, 15:27 2
- Judging from Halo comments, you speak truth. -- nm - David, "The Concise One" Oct 14, 15:34 1
  - in general, the triple aaa culture is little but a cesspool....nm - x Oct 14, 15:37
(to be clear: the threat itself is highly excessive. Calling it a terrorist threat seems accurate.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 15:23 2
- True. Shoot up something more sensible at least, like a GameStop. -- nm - Max Oct 14, 15:26 1
  - those poor, innocent, bored-senseless employees! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 14, 15:38
