I can't believe how stupid people are. This is the most obvious pandering in history, and nobody sees it.

I get equally pissed off when politicians say crap like "because I love America" and get applause. They should get absolutely no applause for saying that. It should get the same response as a teen boy in high school saying he loves his mom - endless mocking.

"As your next president, I promise not to impose Sharia law! I will treat women as human beings! I will not enslave black people!"
*gets applause*
Why are people clapping? Way to be a person of strong moral character, by jumping on whatever the most popular bandwagon is.

Has gamergate finally lost all momentum ?

I think like all these "make a bunch of noise movements", they tend to ebb until something kicks them again. Same with the mizzou and other small battlefields of perceived social injustice.

No, their Mom called them out of the basement for dinner. :biggrin:

They'll be back...

It baffles me that this thread is full of people such as yourself who exist here only to make derogatory statements towards people who themselves are scorned, for, among other things, making derogatory statements towards women. But if one thing exists on the internet in large amounts, it's definitely hypocrisy.

As I said back in April.

Don't worry, the hypocrisy of your own statement is not lost on me :D

DrDoug is a Social Justice Warrior of the first water; what is not in conformity must be mocked. Most of the rest of us recognize that there are valid points on both sides, regardless of with which side we most agree.

And with that, a Merry Christmas to all Gamergaters, Social Justice Warriors, and amused onlookers to the great Internet poo war.

That's SJW/leftism/liberalism/feminism in a nutshell. All the same ball of wax these days. Pretty much the same agendas and same methods.

The big names in this mess, Sarky, Wu, Quinn, etc. have a movie and memoirs coming out... guess those patreon donations are sharting to shrink so they have to keep things alive (or go get a job!)

Just for perspective, even one of the big driving forces, Full McIntosh himself, doesn't take his message seriously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMturdf76X0
(Pity his followers are rabid zealots.)

werepossum is an insecure person who seeks security by categorizing people into a simple array of GOOD and BAD and is incapable of understanding that individuality allows one agree with others, be they individuals or a part of a movement. Individuality also allows us to mock simple-minded idiots, be they individuals or a part of a movement.

Happy Holidays to all! :biggrin:

Holy projectionism, Batman! Lumping on him all the things SJW's are guilty of and werepossum is not. You plainly support Collectivism, not individuality. Praising what the collective believes, mocking/demonizing all else.

Happy Holidays to all! :biggrin:

Collectivist-preferred message duly noted. :rolleyes:

Thank you for letting me know that I've successfully yanked your chain. :cool:

Blather on Maxi Pad.

And thank YOU for making sure we all knew that a rational conversation with you is not physically possible.

Naw... that's a little too harsh. I'll take it down to, "highly unlikely".

You just not too long ago were categorizing an entire group of people based upon their association with gamergate as living with their mom in the basement. I don't think you're as qualified as you think you are to criticize anyone for categorizing. :D

Don't worry, the hypocrisy of your own statement is not lost on me :D

I never said that they were living with their Mom in the basement but thanks for letting that bit of info slip out. :biggrin:

You're definitely right about that :) I feel the meaning behind my post is still fairly simple to infer. That being said, I'm not surprised by your response at all :p

To get serious in a thread that is anything but that, there's a Hell of a difference between my poking fun in jest at a bunch of morons who are saying and doing stupid shit compared to said morons meaning all of the stupid shit they are saying about women. I'm joking and they're serious. So as long as these morons want to give me material to make jokes about them and their 'movement', I'll continue to make jokes about them whenever I'm bored.

Now back to not being serious...

Oh, and BTW, thank you for the material! :biggrin:

Who is this "they"? You're pretty much just trying to attack a strawman.

You're saying "In this comparison group (me) vs. this other comparison group that I made up which only includes gamergaters who are genuinely being both serious and malicious, there is a big difference."

You can say that, and you'd be right, but the argument is so disingenuous and so obviously a strawman argument that it really only serves as further evidence in showing how dedicated you are to justifying your hypocrisy.

So, likewise, I guess thanks for the material. :\

Blather on moron but do let me know when your GGSJW 'movement' actually accomplishes something.

"Your tears say more than real evidence ever could!"

Gotta' love those ain't-exactly-bright folks who kick in the door, act like complete asshats and insult everyone in the room, then walk out with their nose in the air saying, "Too bad y'all ain't smert liike me!"

No, buffoon. You're not superior. While we could spend the rest of the day explaining WHY you're not, you wouldn't listen - which is reason number one.

Just close the door on your way out, troll.

And yet here you are espousing that you know how this whole thing works, and you're certain of your conviction.

Don't worry, the hypocrisy of your own statement is not lost on me :D

Please, do go on talking about how I'm part of this movement. I must be, because I disagree with your behavior right? :cool:

And yet your derogatory remarks continue. :D

No, because you are wasting your time arguing with someone who is ridiculing morons. I appreciate the laugh but I'm very sorry for trying to engage you with a serious explanation about the differences between what I'm doing and what the GGers are doing as a whole. I promise I will never do that again! Seriously!! I've learned my lesson!!! I forgot that it's a waste of time to argue with someone that just likes to argue for the sake of it.

Thanks for reminding me. Happy Holidays!! :thumbsup:

You JUST said a few posts ago that's exactly what you're doing - coming in here to do nothing but argue and poke fun at those you consider 'inferior'.

Then you use it as an argument that it's a bad quality in someone else?

All I can say to you Maxi is that it's sad that you see yourself as "inferior" (your word). Don't be so hard on yourself, I just think you're stupid! :biggrin:

I've wasted enough time on this so see you morons next year!
