Erronius: "Didn't read." Yeah, reading is hard.

Chanur: "She was absolutely discussing Hitman in the context of her overall point about tropes." If you can replace the Hitman footage with footage of any of the other 25+ games featuring the trope and have her point remain exactly the same, then by definition she is not "discussing Hitman"...

Lack of point well taken.

Hodj vs a_skeleton_03 off the bat? The game is rigged.

Still waiting, Doc. Or was that your way of saying "No, Tanoomba, I have no point to make"?

Fana: "Are you sure "gamers" implanted the idea of killing prostitutes or is it a really old idea. Jack the ripper comes to my mind and that's like the 1800's. did GTA cause these murders? do we need jack thompson and anita to help us here?" What. The. Fuck. Gamers popularized the idea...

If you've got a point to make, Doc, make it. You didn't actually contradict me there.

Quaid: "Don't worry Fana, some of us have accurate memories." Accurate enough to remember that killing hookers is a gamer-created meme and is one of the things the GTA series is best-known for? Apparently not.

Doc: "I'm still curious why Tan never answered Khaliar's question about why he so vehemently denies that she was talking about hitman if he maintains that hitman is a perfectly valid example of the trope." Be curious no more: It's because he's on my ignore list and I don't read his posts and...

Yes, Lithose, I remember that too. The thing is, she can be using Hitman as a valid example of a trope and still not be talking "about Hitman". Thunderf00t misrepresents Sarkeesian by strongly implying that the reward/punishment system within Hitman itself is what is "encouraging" players to...

Erronius: "whenever the proverbial GG shit hits the fan, it always seems to involve Tanoomba trolling the shit out of everyone by repeating his odd interpretations ad nauseum and being muleheaded." That's one way of interpreting it. God knows you're not alone. Another way is that the reason I...

Gerb: "Fana pins hims to the wall on a regular basis, it's hilarious. The fact that Tan uses the, "You didn't capitalize that proper noun there so there entire point of your post is now lost on me", thing to weasel out of it every time is also hilarious." This is probably at least the fourth...

Fana: "Man not a single instance? Also you weasel out of answering on top I that?" No, dude, I seriously have no idea what you're talking about. An instance of what? It sounds like you're asking me for an example of when Sark lied and was called out on it. How can I give you an example of...

Fana: "Oh I missed a part where you thought sarkeesian lied about something and was called out on it, you got an example? this would go a long way for me personally in seeing you as more balanced than I thought." You're going to need to proof-read that one a few more times before it becomes...

Erronius: "Are you actually trying to trollbait me here, after I went out of my way to give you more leeway than anyone has probably given you in months?" Trollbait? No, sir. I am directly addressing the, frankly, somewhat silly notion that using X as an example of Y = talking "about X"...

Fana: "then why do you get all titty twisted about people criticisizing anita's choice of example she communicated with her video?" I never got titty-twisted over people making any kind of criticism about Anita's choice of anything. I've seen a lot of fantastic criticism of Sarkeesian and I'm...

Fana: "was the white house an example of said columns? this is where you go full retard and pretend the two have no relation to each other. like would it not be fair game to point out if the white house was a bad example or misleading?" Are you kidding here? YES, the White House is an apt...

Erronius: "Well, thanks for obliging me, I guess? I can see how this is going play out from here." My pleasure, but if you will do me but one small indulgence, please take this one-question quiz and report to me when you're done...

Fana: "every single time I can't believe how dumb this conversation is, she picked a video to play over her talking about something, either it represents what she was talking about or she's the worst and most overpaid video maker/editor of all time." Whoosh.

Erronius: "Seems to me like if you're talking about a broader trope, and you use various examples of that trope, those examples would fall under the umbrella of the trope you are talking about and you would literally be 'talking about those games', Hitman included." No. She's talking about a...

Doc: "If you read that thread Big Ern, you'll get to see Tanoomba actually attempt to argue that the only way to view Anita's argument in context is to look at the plain text. He argues that by taking into consideration the video she herself chose to play while saying those words is taking her...

Erronius: "I guess I'm dubious, since it seems like you're trying to disassociate her words from the video of Hitman as if they didn't have anything to do with each other. Why only text? Did Thunderfoot misrepresent Anita and doctor the footage, such that the Hitman footage wasn't originally...

Cad: "Basically what Tanoomba is doing now is if enough people don't come in here and talk to him then he spreads out on other threads and says enough dumb shit until people do engage him, then he'll retreat back in here until his traffic slows down then he'll come out again. It's too bad...

Erronius: "Well, I'm willing to hear you out here Tanoomba. Why do you think she's not talking about Hitman when it looks like she's talking about the very scene that is playing while she talks?" Here's the explanation that has yet to be refuted...

Like I said last time: Well done!

Let's get real, here. I'm easy-going and I'm more than happy to play along with this. There's nothing wrong with a little good-natured ribbing. Although I never made any avatar bet, I'd be happy to treat it as such and agree to change my avatar upon winning the title, but I'm not giving carte...

I'll agree to that. I tried to find a more polished version but there aren't any that are already animated. I'd also agree to this one: Or even this one:

I lost to Merlin? Really?

What happened to last year's winner?

So what's the traditional award for Asshat of the Year? Custom title?

Khorum: "Pay attention shitlords. Boyhood that perpetuates oppressive notions of masculinity are TOXIC but normalizing and de-stigmatizing PEDOPHILIA is meaningful, socially-constructive dialogue that will enrich our civilization." No idea what you're talking about here. There's certainly no...

Chan: "It's one of the early videos Anita did where she directly talks about Hitman-" Lies.

See you!

Doc: "Thanks for starting with this bullet so I knew not to read any further. Bye." Bye!

I think the "Anita Busted" video is a pretty clear example of how his dishonesty created a snowball effect of ignorance and led to a huge (unwarranted) backlash. Here's a breakdown, copy-pasted from a past post: - Thunderf00t said (explicitly) that Sarkeesian was describing Hitman. This is...

This again? Really? You know that by disabling comments all she did was prevent trolls from plaguing her videos with their vitriol, right? You get that anybody anywhere is still free to say whatever they want about her work, right? You understand that criticism of Sarkeesian's work is positively...

Doc: "No argument here. But it was very problematic. He was just so mean!" I would imagine you mean this interview: http://walrusvideo.com/jon-stewart-vs-jim-cramer-march-12-2009/ Which I watched in its entirety. What exactly was "mean" about it? I don't think there was a single personal...

Lots morehere.
