- when the Prime Minister was asked if he was a feminist, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the following:

“Yes, Yes. I am a feminist. Proud to be a feminist. My mom raised me to be a feminist. My father raised me, he was a different generation but he raised me to respect and defend everyone’s rights, and I deeply grounded my own identity in that, and I am proud to say that I am a feminist,”

“The things we see online, whether it is issues like gamergate or video games misogyny in popular culture, it is something that we need to stand clearly against.

How do these words resonate with you as a gamer? Do you agree and think we need to change the depiction of women in videogames today?

Remember, bullying is A-OK as long as it's done by the right people!

When those stupid right-wing bastards bully us poor left-wing minority-championing heroes, that's wrong. When WE bully them for being a skin color a touch too pale or being attracted to the *gasp* opposite gender, or when they *gasp* believe in GOD (does sign of the Flying Spaghetti Monster) THEY SHOULD BE BULLIED BECAUSE THEY'RE WRONG AND DESERVE TO BE BULLIED!

THE PART OF THIS POST ABOVE THIS LINE IS INTENDED TO BE SATIRE AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LITERALLY.

Unfortunately, in this broken world of ours, some people actually do act this way. Ignoring facts and just slandering their opponents, you'd be surprised just how more ethical GamerGate as a movement is - even if that doesn't really get things done.
That, and quite a few involved in GamerGate have superb taste in anime. I still have no idea how or why.

Wow, they made the big leagues.



Anyone who's anti-GG is just a bully. What's wrong with wanting ethics in gaming journalism.

Because sadly gaming jounralist don't want to be ethical.



and i'm avoiding Canada.



Video games, imo, fall into the umbrella of art. You can't dictate what artists are going to make. As long as someone wants to see women half naked with their fake boobs bouncing around, someone is going to put it into a game.

Rockstar will never bow down to these fascists.

Why would corrupt journalists want to be? Corrupt journalists want those freebies from Rockstar and Konami in exchange for positive reviews.



Not again. Please, let it all die already. Neither side is right in the matter despite having good points.
