This Gamergate thing

I think your comment about how you usually react to JollyRoger's jokes is quite telling. If you usually disagree with them then you should ask why you don't this time. It could just be that your usual reaction is correct and your radar is off this time. Or maybe not, who knows, but worth considering.

You want the cakester to consider the possibility that I am always wrong?

I'd probably find myself agreeing with JR more often if he didn't worship the farm girls so much more than the land crabs. The farm girls can't seem to harvest good crops during the off season. Then they accuse the meat packers of cheating just because they can't complete their pas(t).

edit: As clever as that was, looks like I pwned myself. 'Go land crabs' is apparently a Better Call Saul reference. I thought he was trolling me.

As someone who has only seen her main couple of videos on VG sexism, her "controversialness" is a bit of a mystery. She's literally saying "these games are fun, in isolation it's all fine, it's okay to like these games, but taken together, there is a sexist trend and this is what that trend is."

I don't get it.

My impression from her videos is that they these tropes are reflection of the creators' personal views of gender instead of being a stop gap when writers run out of ideas, which I don't think is necessarily true.

Also, quite frankly, in her discussion of sexist behavior in the gaming community, the attitudes and behaviors are unique to neither sexism nor the gaming community. People are dbags to each other on the internet in every group for any number of reasons, and she is engaging in pigeonholing.

Interesting, because my impression is precisely the opposite

Okay then.
