Kind of amazing how eagerly picked-upon nerds want to imagine themselves deploying the tactics of high school bullies. And by "amazing" I guess I mean "not really surprising at all."
Unless that comic's a parody...I really can't tell.

These guys love using imaginary woman sockpuppets to support their beliefs. Of course they're already used to pretending socks are real women.

The shield thing still makes no sense to me. If gamergaters are the ones being attacked, wouldn't the women and people of minority status they're claiming to represent be their weapon, not their shield?

I know this is completely trivial and not really an issue to anyone but me, but it still bugs me.

i think the tortured logic might be that nefarious white male sjws are using women and people of colour as THEIR shields by claiming to be offended by shitty representations of women and people of colour in videogames, when actually guys some of them love that stuff honest

I don't think they believe white male SJWs are behind it all though -- I mean there's no way that they don't think women are the ultimate villains here
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 19 November 2014 16:32 (nine years ago) link
to these people racism and sexism don't actually exist, they're just "-isms" to deflect "criticism"so naturally any non-minority SJW is just using all minorities are a "shield" to "stifle" "criticism" when they point out the painfully obvious sexism and racism in video gamessorry i'm out of scare quotes

I think it's more like using *women* as a *shield* for *feminazis* or whatever -- man, it really doesn't make sense
― my jaw left (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 19 November 2014 16:34 (nine years ago) link
claims of racism aren't valid criticisms, though. those are just sjw issues.

on the other hand, even if that Borderlands game is fun, we can criticize the dialogue that mocks neckbeards, because it detracts from the game. however, sexism can't be criticized, as it does not detract from the game.

The idea of feminists "hiding behind women" is really just so beautifully twisted and absurd

I didn't realize that was actually a reference to something. Thought you were just mocking bald people. Nevermind. Carry on.

Their constant use of 'white knight' is pretty hilarious, I'm sure they don't realize it's one of the most foundational tropes of western fantasy culture.

they don't think that it's all white knighting dudes but definitely doesn't go deeper than "white knighting dudes and shrieking white feminists putting words in the mouths of everyone else" which is easy to think if you never actually listen to anyone else
the reason all-encompassing pejoratives like "SJW" are so effective is that they allow the people who use them to decide exactly who falls within that range. it's harder for them to argue against an actually-diverse group of people than a bunch of self-righteous liars just using that diversity to prop themselves up on their high (white) horses.
so call them SJWs and pretend that SJWs are just a few white women and a bunch of white dudes trying to get laid
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Wednesday, 19 November 2014 22:06 (nine years ago) link
There is definitely a vein that only blames Anita Sarkeesian as the mouthpiece for her co-writer Jonathan McIntosh.
And yeah, I did see someone defend calling them all LWs on the basis that really, can you tell me a single thing that Zoe Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, Brianna Wu and Leigh Alexander don't agree on? The idea that there is some central command that they sit in and plan the Feminist Invasion, rather four women who have in common that they got on the wrong side of GamerGate. But then, there is a large hinterland of "things not to think about too hard because if we got them wrong then we're terrible people".

xp i'm not saying that what i said was a conscious decision on anyone's part, it's just a motivating factor behind those kinds of pejoratives. they become popular weapons because they naturally work that way
