Now, there's one thing I need you guys to understand. Love is a powerful, and sometimes horrifying thing. Nobody who's in love wants to be told to break up with the person they love. And I really do love her. I know that she's a good person, just like she knows I'm a good person even though to her it seems I'm supporting a misogynist campaign.As such, I'd rather not be told to break up with her. I want to fight for this relationship, and I think that in order to do this I'll have to regain her respect for me as someone who can and will assert his opinions without discarding hers, and to make her concede that my points are valid, too.
To this end, an important thing I noted is that she said that at this point she supports "whoever doesn't harm and doxx people". It should go without saying where I want to take this.
If you want to help someone out, even if I'm being a total wuss, it'd be nice if people could post some definite proof of anti-GG being dicks/GG being supportive of women and the actual cause of GG. I think many people in this thread could gain from having some material for presentation.
It feels really stupid, but this entire situation with GG and SJW fuckery in general has actually sent me into something like a depression. I haven't felt this powerless and guilty ever since I stopped taking roaccutane.

Owner of Kotaku, site of the initial “scandal” that sparked Gamergate, Gawker has led the charge behind the demonization of Gamergate. Yet Gawker has been terrorizing celebrities—especially female celebrities—for years, helping to foster an online culture of misogyny and exploitation. Gawker claims to be about journalism, but they’re actually about harassment. Gawker published stolen nudes of Olivia Munn and Heather Morris, outed Peter Thiel, slut-shamed Christine O’Donnell, violated Amanda Bynes’ privacy, and used the tone-deaf headline “Gooks don’t get http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG joke.” (And let’s not forget Gawker’s initial reluctance to address Jezebel’s rape-GIF problem.) Gawker-owned Jezebel dubs Gamergate a “hate group” in an article by Willamette sociology undergraduate Jennifer Allaway, even as it offers $10,000 for unretouched pictures of Lena Dunham and links to stolen nudes of Christina Hendricks. Now Gawker is stirring up a new bogeyman for clicks, not social justice, defending women only after its revenue streams are threatened—a ploy some advertisers evidently see through. Gawker, if you want to claim any moral authority on Gamergate, I would first issue a public apology to all you have wronged—from Asians to Heather Morris to Amanda Bynes—issue new clear guidelines to guard against any backsliding, and change the company name to mark a clean break with the toxic Gawker brand. Failing that, Gawker publisher Nick Denton should at least turn the site over to a journalist with a pristine ethical track record.

The key to reducing the movement’s size lies in the little known but surprisingly numerous species I call the Gamergate moderate (Gamergater moderabilus)

When Polygon editor Ben Kuchera tweets, “The legacy of the hashtag will be in its ability to prove how terribly this industry treats women,” he makes no sense. Gamergate is mostly made up of consumers, not industry members. (Developer Brianna Wu has pointed out that Gamergate is merely a symptom of a much larger problem.) Through sleight of hand, Gamergate absorbs the sins of gaming companies and media organizations. It’s a neat trick, making Gamergate a convenient target of ostracism that serves to make the rest of us feel better about ourselves and non-Gamergate elements of society.

let's see, an indie developer has her personal life blown up on the internet, a feminist youtuber releases her work to a chorus of threats, niche websites run a few articles about how gaming culture has problems (the same problems as larger tech culture or just culture in general) and the way to end this mess is... a new editorial regime at gawker? somehow i doubt it.

You may be understandably hesitant to make such an offer to people who have been associated with the Gamergate movement. But if South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission can do it, I don’t think I’m asking so much. The particular flashpoint of Gamergate will recur in different forms, and you want as many people on the side of decency as possible.
the hell are you even on about man
who is going to hold these hearings. who is going to enforce this agreement. what authority are you appealing to. what.
