I obviously disagree with your assessment of my analogy and if I were to say "After the recent ruling, it's apparent that all people in Alabama are homophobes" I'd be making a stupid conclusion...

My conclusion based on some court rulings in the South about that issue is that there seems to be a lot of Homophobic asshats there.

The problem has to deal with baseless assertions, and your provided conclusion is still a baseless assertion. What's wrong is that you still have no actual evidence that there are "a lot of Homophobic asshats there". The only evidence you have is a judge's opinion and the opinion of a few spokespeople of different organizations. In other words, you're classifying a significant chunk of people (i.e. "a lot") based upon the words and/or actions of at the most a half-dozen people. That doesn't mean that it couldn't be true, but you still have nothing to back it up.

As someone that lives in the South (and is not from there), I would disagree that most people (around me) are homophobes. At least in my experience, people seem to only care about the religious aspect regardless of the fact that it shouldn't apply to politics.

Hmm... this discussion on whether it's okay to classify gamers based upon stereotypes has taken some strange turns. :p

...well, considering Zoe Quinn basically directed all of her game-reviewer buddies to undermine their entire target audience to collectively write "gamers are dead" articles to try and eliminate the species...

This would be like every muscle or fitness magazine all of a sudden posting articles on their covers, "You muscle-heads are jerks! Quit working out and eating healthy you losers! Fitness is DEAD!!"

Then comes a long, convoluted campaign of lies and bullying to make fitness end, or completely change it to something the social engineers like better... like eating cupcakes on the treadmill instead of busting your ass on it.

Sarkeesian was all over that one...

I'd lay off the stimulants if I were you. They seem to be feeding your paranoia again.

Heh... never miss an opportunity to mock your opponent. Since you don't take a stance on something, no one can criticize you - but if you criticize enough people for a stance you object to, there's a chance the negative stimulus will discourage everyone from sharing that stance.

Simple. Easy. Effective when used in large numbers.

Ah - finally found it. The rulebook that people like radfems like to follow;

-------------
How can we raise our levels of revolutionary consciousness, organization and struggle?

Raise consciousness

1) Raise consciousness with the purpose of building organization and raising the level of struggle.

2) Investigate before forming opinions. Research how the world and the system function.

3) Read foundational and historical works about revolution, by those who have participated in and led them.

4) Analyze the system’s current condition and trajectory.

5) Learn about the resistance, uprisings and revolutions going on in the world today.

6) Read the material that currently active groups are issuing and discussing.

7) Continuously develop, elaborate upon and refine principles, theories and strategies for our movement.

8. Raise our voices. Articulate revolutionary ideas, and give them a public presence.

9) Listen and speak in the spirit of mutual clarification.

10) Participate in discussion, to develop our ideas and hone our skills in expressing them, and to help others do so.

11) Figure out how to use all our various talents, positions, energy and resources as effectively as possible, to expose the system’s evil, irredeemable and unreformable nature.

12) Analyze and explain the many ways the system dominates and exploits.

13) Stand with the dominated, exploited, invaded, colonized, threatened and oppressed.

14) Display a revolutionary spirit and celebrate it in others.

15) Exercise patience in winning over reluctant potential allies and supporters.

16) Ridicule and discredit the enemy.

17) Create revolutionary culture. Make videos and art, speak, sing, and write blogs, books, comments, leaflets, rhymes, stories, and articles about the enemy s crimes and the people s resistance.

18) Exchange ideas locally, nationally and (within the law or safe channels) globally.

19) Encourage others to participate in the revolutionary process.

Organize

20) Organize as a way to raise consciousness more broadly and to build struggle.

21) Start with people we know.

22) If our friends discourage us, make new friends.

23) Network sensibly with people online. Find local people online who express similar ideas, and meet with them.

24) Find a group that we basically agree with. Work with it.

25) If there’s no local group we want to work with, start one.

26) Write a leaflet with contact info. Pass it out in public to find potential comrades.

27) When we meet people, assess our points of agreement. If we agree on basic essentials, decide how to work together. If not, say goodbye for now.

28) Build strong ties locally and nationally, and build solidarity globally.

29) Define allies according to overall outlook and goals.

30) Don’t let secondary differences prevent cooperation. Handle differences between allies non-antagonistically.

31) Do not tolerate oppressive (sexist, racist, homophobic etc.) dynamics within the movement. Confront their expression and put a stop to it.

32) Refrain from saying anything aloud, on the phone or electronically that we wouldn’t want to hear played back in court.

33) Keep illegal drugs away from our political life.

34) Research and practice good security culture.

35) Prioritize the wellbeing of our organizations over personal benefit.

36) Ready our ranks to seize on any breaks in the legitimacy of the system.

Struggle

37) Use struggle to spread revolutionary consciousness and build organization.

38) Collectively determine what we want, and declare our demands.

39) Act as far as possible within our capacity, not either beyond or below our capacity.

40) Continuously strive to expand and consolidate our capacity and strength.

41) Assert our rights and our responsibilities.

42) Bring our revolutionary perspective into struggles already occurring.

43) Defend, support, and encourage our allies.

44) As opportunities arise, weaken the enemy and its ability to rule.

45) Obey the small laws. Don t get taken out of the game for something unworthy.

46) For illegal acts, make sure you can trust your comrades with your life and the lives of everyone connected to you.

47) Avoid being distracted and diverted into symbolic action-for-action’s sake.

48) Don t expect the enemy to act against its nature. It has no mercy and can not be reasoned with.

49) Turn every attack by the enemy into an opportunity to speak out, organize, and grow more powerful.

50) Be willing to work hard. Be smart. Be brave. Remember we re all in this together.

You poor oppressed caricature. One day you'll throw off those chains and be a free being of some kind or other.

Meanwhile, the rest of us will get on with our lives.

Stop giving this woman you despise all the free press. You idiots keep promoting what you claim to hate.

So now Zoe Quinn controls the game reviewers? Really?!? And she directed them to write articles aimed at destroying the market they write for?

The womens must really be out to get you.

Its like watching a toddler have a tantrum.

We will continue to mock you until you grow up and act like an adult. Since you are a GGer, that will never happen though.

"Grow up and act like an adult" -- as in unquestioningly accept your feminist bullshit?
Help denounce those pesky peer-reviewed government records showing women being as,or more, abusive than men?
Grovel at your feet for being male, thus being a rapey-raping-rapist-misogynist-evil oppressor?
Stop playing any games beyond Candy Crush and work 70 hours a week instead of only 50?

Nope. :colbert: I'll keep my sanity, thank you. You can just order your "male tears" mug and keep showing the world what you're really all about.

Have you seen Blue whiney's posts over the course of this thread? He has made his bed.

Heh... mock, mock, mock... kind of a one trick pony, feminists are... wear the opposition down by sheer repetition.

But why not? It worked for all the other feminist bullshit force-fed to our cultures... Repeat the lies enough times and with enough voices, even the American president will repeat the 77-cent propaganda.

They don't have to, others will do things for them.

And she also doesn't have to do anything because these people are actively promoted by the press.

The press will write and promote the story they want to. The games journos pros leaks and just the exposure of this clique show they aren't reacting to the audience, they intent to direct them. Did you really think they'd be writing about people like Quinn based on merit? They'd run out of things to say within the first sentence of both her and Sarkeesian, so of course they are going to take the route they are on now, the "threat narrative.

Anyways Sarkeesians been trolling hard lately.. going from passive aggressiveness to outright hostility... probably wants more angry tweets sent her way, her last batch wasn't up to snuff.

Ellen Pau reddit suppression/censorship continues, reddit reaches 175 million people now...
http://steamcommunity.com/groups/GamerGaters#announcements/detail/204125142566279175
"TIL Buddy Fletcher, husband of Reddit CEO Ellen Pao, is being described as being the operator of Ponzi scheme after his now bankrupt firm diverted money for their own use and, according to the Chapter 11 trustee, committed fraud against investors. Three Louisiana pension funds lost $144 million."
"The data shows that the posts made about Ellen Pao appear to be being dequeued or removed from the /new/ queue of all default subreddits either by hand or automatically via AutoModerator bot

For a month of having a CEO of the Reddit website be in court there has been little to no discussion on the default subreddits.

For every default subreddit there are in total 20 posts that have been recorded to have been posted in default subreddits which are able to populate the front page.

Of those 20 posts only one ever made it to front page and that post was made on Monday Feburary 23rd to /r/news.

Every other post made has only gathered something like 78 points which in the past has been due to moderators of a subreddit removing it from /new/ queue for a time period before putting it back near the end of a submission lifecycle. (soft censorship)

The discussion for this story appears to be highly talked about in non-default subreddits but is unable to make it to front page as it is surpressed in default subreddits. "

No thread on these people will ever make reddits front page.
