Uh, OK. I somewhat suggested what you're saying, so not sure why you feel the need to tell me this. I pretty much said that it feels like feminism means what the name suggests instead of what feminists claim (which seems to be the 'official' definition). Which basically means a contradiction between the dictionary definition and actual usage.

Also, the question is whether dictionaries will change to match the language, or whether people will change to match the definition of feminism first. It could go either way, especially when you consider how big of a movement feminism has become (or maybe I'm just seeing more of it, who knows).

Alot of the info in the OP is questionable. I never heard of her, so I don't know anything about what she's done in relation to feminism. She's catching undue flak over an essay that has a controversial topic. She's basically saying that we should focus on stomping out actual child abuse, child prostitution and child exploitation instead of trying to force japan into censoring young looking fictional characters. 

If she's really a nude model, that's most likely the reason why Nintendo fired her.

Yeah, sorry. It was mostly aimed at the other guy.

As for your last point. It'll almost definitely die out at the current rate, unless something changes. It's just incredibly hard to force people to use certain words. Someone once likened trying to get a particular word to be used like trying to turn around the tide with a bucket

And feminism hasn't really grown. The polling suggests it's at its lowest popularity in the last 60 years or so with the general public. All that's happened is that it's completely infiltrated certain sections of the media in the last decade. So it has a very large megaphone that not too many people listen to.

I realize KIA is a tremendously biased source, so make of it what you will...My personal opinion is that it seems she, like many of the recent scandals, has somewhat played up the harassment to try to make a political statement. While people did undoubtedly say inappropriate things to her (and I don't doubt that she has received some degree of harassment via twitter DM), which I will always condemn, she allowed it to become her identity and surrounded herself in negativity to become a martyr.

It was funny when some of the 'listen-and-believe' indie developers jumped too early and canceled their games then quickly backtracked when they found out that Rapp was fired for a second job (that rumors say is non-PG stuff).  It's especially sickening how Klepek of Kotaku isn't owning up to any of this despite the fact that he fanned the flames and helped create this entire mess with his earlier article that put a big magnifying glass on Rapp.  But then again, why should Klepek accept responsibility when he and all the other ideologically motivated clickbait gaming journalists can just blame a hashtag whenever they royally screw up or make complete asses of themselves.  Their MO is essentially, 'it's only okay when we do it'.

Like I say, that's what 90% of modern claims of harassment actually are. It's people forgetting that twitter is essentially a public space. So they say or do something stupid, and suddenly crap themselves when 1000 people start criticising them. Well that's just not harassment. That's what happens when you say something stupid in a public space. It's the inevitable nature of a platform like twitter. If people don't like that, they should just use a different social network.

I didn't look into this case too much but the one thing I could see is what you've mentioned: she was playing up to it bigstyle. Another really common trait in most claims of modern harassment. I remember when Brianna Wu was claiming she was getting harassed and however many hundreds of idiot news sites reported it. No-one thought to ask: well is she doing anything wrong herself? A simple google search through her twitter reveals that she's mentioned gamergate over 1000 times in her tweets. Did no-one think maybe this was a factor? How much "harassment" would an equivalent person who'd only mentioned gamergate 1 time have got?

It's reading garbage articles like this that make me pray that Kotaku and its parent company Gawker go down in flames after Hulkamania ran wild on them.

It's especially depressing when you realize that there are people that see ideologically motivated clickbait sites like kotaku as legit news sources.

You havent read the article, or a single comment in this have you? I almost dont beleive you even read the title.

Pitiful.

Oh, you're expecting Anti-GG to get anything approaching half the scrutiny and critisism of GG. Not happening.

I'll remove this in case it might be considered too risque.

If you, too, want to dress me up in cute outfits or spoil me with other fun consumer goods, here's my thing! http://amzn.com/w/F8E2CZRG0MO2

Uhhh...would anyone company NOT fire someone for this stuff? Having a twitter account posting somewhat NSFW pictures while having people buy you stuff through your Amazon wishlist. That seems like a big no-no.

Anyway I liked her, sad she got fired and all, but I'm guessing they'll be finding a replacement quite easily around E3 time.
