Think about what your saying for a minute. You are saying you'd rather the professional gaming media, you know people who get paid to provide gamers with information, provide us with faulty and biased information then children acting up because they are mad. Newsflash, the gaming community aren't professional, they do not follow the same rules as professional organizations.  

Are death threats and harrassment some how ok? No.

Are death threats and harrassment unique to Gamergate? Hell no.

So why in the hell do you think, no Gamergate = No Harrasment, no my friend it means more shitty journalism.

Just because a few psychopaths, sent death threats because of what Zoe did, doesn't mean she wasn't wrong, nor does it me those death threats are right.

But especially in the gaming community, psychopaths send death threats about everything, game not working death threat, game not good enough death threat.

You can't get rid of them because of the way to community's developed and even if you raze it to the ground as this part of the gaming media is trying to do, it won't amount to shit, it'll just be more demonizing. The only ones who would survive, figuratively, would be the psychos making death threats, and then normal people will equate gamer with psychopath, like the mainstream media has been doing for decades.

 

Its a lot more complicated then unethical journalism vs death threats, that should be obvious.

Bolded part kinda shows everything that is wrong about GG: Zoe receives death threats, and you're saying that she isn't wrong, while completely disregarding all the male journalists involved.

I should necver have written in this thread. GG always gets out of hand. But yes, I'd much rather have corrupt journalists than people receiving death threats. And I also think that's why journalists are "attacking" gaming culture; becasue IT is corrupt and rotten. Who the hell sends death threats tro some one over bad scores or bad ending?! Thats fiucking sick. Something IS seriously wrong within gaming culture.

Don't respond to anything else, don't cherry pick and bold things, no read the whole thing and answer the two questions at the bottom.

You read the bolded but ignore everything else I said.

You claim I disregarded all the male journalists involved, yet I simply wasn't talking about them, because I was talking about the death threats to Zoe specifically.

READ, I said both what Zoe did and those who sent death threats, were wrong. I did not say the male journalists involved get a pass, the are also wrong to.

Pay attention and Answer this simple question?

Do you have an intrest in playing video games? Yes/No

Have you sent a death threat to a developer/publisher/games media outlet because of something you didn't like? Yes/No

Don't respond to anything else, don't cherry pick and bold things, no read the whole thing and answer the two questions.
