they all seem very damaged. this doesn't excuse what they say or do in any form or fashion, but still. sending rape threats to women who complain about the glaring disaparities in the video game industry? it doesn't just seem like sexism to me, it seems emblematic of some larger cultural rot that i am not intelligent enough to fully understand... i felt the same way about elliot rodgers. the idea of these people out there who don't recognize the humanity of others in an even minimal sense, and find validation for their views on the internet. misogyny is the hateful ideology that is most ready to hand, but it could be something else... idk how to even begin to address all of this. maybe it is as simple as dismissing the antisocial bigots, holding them fully accountable for their choice to not be a part of the human community.

well it seems pretty easy to let them all act as one basket full of hateful crabs if you never have occasion to interact with them

well I guess that doesn't hold; the big problem is them targeting women who disagree with them in any way

sure, i'm gonna trust crab advice from someone called crabbitsno, actually i agree - as horrible as this behavior is, just plain shunning and berating them isn't enough of a solution

on some level i feel like its just another symptom of the endemic cultural alienation and loneliness sweeping the post industrialized world, like they seem to just not have that much exposure to society at large

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.

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 (?)
