though it did remind me weirdly of this, which made me smile
Gabriel Knight must disguise himself as a man called Mosley in order to fool a French moped rental clerk into renting him the shop's only motorcycle. In order to construct the costume, Gabriel Knight must manufacture a fake moustache. Utilizing the style of logic adventure game creators share with morons, Knight must do this even though Moseley does not have a moustache.

I was talking to a friend's brother, a huge gamer who hadn't heard of gamergate, and was trying to express what it was in like one sentence and it became so clear to me how none of it, on any level, makes any sense

He kept asking people to search for articles of people who had been killed for being women and I I'll-advisedly engaged him over black people getting killed and asked him if he really wanted to play Oppresion Olympics... and he did
― 💪😈⚠️ (DJP), Monday, 20 October 2014 02:17 (nine years ago) link
Sorry forgot to mention he was posting links to news stories about gay people being attacked for being gay
Like his entire raison d'être was to prove that gay white men are the most oppressed people in America ergo go GamerGate (?)

hate linking to reddit but this is a good read. basically a boston globe writer wrote a piece on gg, a thread was started calling it a poorly researched hit-piece, author stopped by the thread and annihilated them.

great read. as always - stunning how ANYthing posted about this generates seemingly hundreds of responses working over the same talking points (or tortured deformations of them to fit the present situation). It must seriously be all these guys do all day.
― Doctor Casino, Monday, 20 October 2014 13:09 (nine years ago) link
I feel like this thread is written in another language. like these tweets are just baffling, out of whatever context twitter can give.
but I gather this whole thing is really just misogyny? i.e. keep representing women in games as they have been represented heretofore? is there some extra dimension "worth" mulling over besides that?
― droit au butt (Euler), Monday, 20 October 2014 13:26 (nine years ago) link
Not really, just a many-layered, kaleidoscopic window into the thread question. Maybe an interesting microphenomenon of the lengths people who think of themselves as the good guys will go to tr and argue/explain away everything bad about what they're engaged in.

You guys refuse to appoint a leader or write up a platform or really do any of the things real-life, adult “movements” do.
I feel like this is a big problem with communications between the two sides here. On the anti-GamerGate side, there have been a bunch of good published pieces that represent, and hence standardize, the basic anti-GG arguments. Sarkeesian's videos have this quality too, that they authoritatively represent the set of arguments that need to be rebutted in order to shift the burden of argument back onto the feminist critique. That takes effort and organization. Can anyone point to any kind of article or published piece which represents pro-GamerGate arguments at their best? It's hard to demand engagement if there isn't an authoritative thing to be engaged with.

also do these people think really think EA is going to stop making War Game 169 : Drones R Us or whatever because Kotaku praises Depression Quest?
I realize this is all probably all obvious inside the rabbit hole but
