It's about time someone acknowledged Bob Barker's role in all of this.

Manbabby is formed by obsessively watching Gamergate videos, formulating partisan opinions on them, and then not letting the issue go.
Honestly, Mister Wilson, you go from My Dinner With Andre, to this. You are a man of varied tastes, I'll give you that.

Why can't you and the gamergaters set aside all this animosity and just be friends? I still don't rightly know what gamergate is about, something to do with Anita or sex or furries maybe, but I bet that deep down, being friends is all you guys really want.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2014-11-28 At this point GamerGate isn't really anything more than people sniping at each other over who sucks more. I suppose that I still have an opinion about who sucks more, but I moved on after being banned from r/GamerGhazi for thinking that scientists wearing bowling shirts is a nonissue. I submitted this because I thought it was funny.
I think maybe GamerGate will turn out to be a good thing because it focused mainstream attention on some of the shitty things that trolls do and have been doing for years. Most Gaters have become so sensitive to issues of harassment, racism, and sexism that they have become indistinguishable from the SJWs they are supposed to hate/not be.
I have found another video about GamerGate that I intend to submit one day, the perfect ironic summing up of the crazy conspiracy theories and badly applied concept of ethics, but it'll be funnier and more ironic later on, maybe a year from now.
GamerGate has probably long since ceased to be a threat to Gawker or anyone else.

Change - 2014-11-28 You really come off as an apologist.
Found yourself initially sympathetic, but gradually alienated, then?

What?
>>Found yourself initially sympathetic, but gradually alienated, then?
What?
Okay, I was disheartened to have some feminists rather viscously turn on me over THE SHIRT. That was something that happened. But mostly, I just lost interest. I don't think Gamergate is going to succeed in changing the terms of the discussion, so it becomes just the same bullshit over and over and over again.
My opinions are the same as they always were, and I come away from Gamergate wondering, as I always have: does the internet have to be so terrible? Do we go on like this forever?

Old_Zircon - 2014-11-27 This will undoubtedly clean up gaming journalism just like payola legislation cleaned up the radio and record industries in the 80s, which is to say not at all.

GamerGate is an attempt to use political power to regulate discussion of gaming on the internet. It pretends to be about ethics, it's really about politics, an attempt at an ideological purge. There was a moment when it seemed possible that it might succeed, but that moment has passed. By now, sponsors have got to know who the letters are coming from (even though Gamergate is never mentioned in the letters), and that capitulating will bring them more negative attention than ignoring the letters. So there's no longer any reason to get worked up over this, unless you enjoy trolling and being trolled. A lot. For a long time.
If you do get involved, GamerGate will drive you crazy with its cognative dissonance, the fact that it's message is deliberately obscure yet they complain about being misunderstood, that they don't seem to know what actual ethics are, that they hold themselves to zero ethical standards, that they don't seem to have done their opponents any real damage, yet are constantly declaring that they're winning, etc, etc, etc. It's impossible to tell where the deception ends and the self-deception begins.

Jet Bin Fever - 2014-11-29 I think Evilhomer isn't worth arguing with. He's probably just having a go at you, like his years long labors to make us think he's into Pony. And the funny stuff in these is the funny voices and misspellings. They could be talking about the price pf pork bellies and it would be about the same.
