Nirgo: "Enough to spam my news feed with people bickering and defriending each other over this shit" No kidding. Intentionally villainizing someone for your own... *ahem*... perverse pleasure is easily something that could make a friend see you in a different light. Luckily, none of my...

Quaid: "Who is chastising her Tan? Who are these people contacting her? What are you talking about? If rerolled's criticism of Sarkeesian is a year long 'Witch Hunt', well, it has been the most unsuccessful Witch Hunt in history. Is this what a witch hunt is to you? A bunch of dudes...

Seb: "I imagine if she had a defensible position to those witch-hunting and bogus accusations, they should be quite easy to dismiss. Or are all those meanies distressing the poor damsel?" She does have defensible positions. Most of the things she has been accused of have already been...

Quaid: "How people behave once they are angry is often unreasonable. I will not defend such behaviour." Well then, to be clear, when I have been referring to "angry" people I am talking about people who behave in unreasonable and counter-productive ways. I don't concern myself with what...

Yup. The "liar, fraud and con artist" people have done a fantastic job ensuring that no rational discourse will be allowed to take place without it being hijacked by them to serve their immature needs. Nice job!

"lol" lol

Quaid: "I don't think getting angry over a self proclaimed media critic making unsubstantiated claims about one's hobby is an unexpected or unreasonable response." "Getting angry" is a natural human response and isn't necessarily "unreasonable". How people act on that anger is where it can...

I guess you're right, if you're talking about you & me. I'm not sure "discussion" is an accurate description of the self-indulgent mud-slinging that occurs whenever Sarkeesian is mentioned.

Siddar: "Jack Thompson is stirring. Must be mad about Anita stealing his act." I read the interview, and while Thompson is still way off-base with much of his "reasoning" (For example, when presented with statistics indicating a decline in youth violence: "And by the way, ask the parents of...

I really enjoyed the show, particularly the animal humor. I also can't get enough of the opening credits sequence. I do think both seasons came on a little too strong with the drama near the end, though.

Oh, come on, that was by far his best one yet. I actually laughed.

Caliane: ""fair use" Aka, you are an artist, we both know you can't afford to sue me for stealing your work. I love how FullMcIntosh thinks the person doing the stealing is the one who decides what is and is not "fair use"." Reminder: - FF used the image believing it to be the property of...

Khorum: "That'll get you heckled off-stage as a Presidential Candidate nowadays, you know. Here's Governor O'Malley getting booed off stage when he had the temerity to claim that "white lives matter, all lives matter"." I'm not sure you now what "off stage" means.

I guess you guys are younger than I am. I still remember seeing screen shots of Mario 3 in a gaming mag before it came out and being psyched. Plus there was "The Wizard" (brilliant marketing), the Happy Meal toys, the best commercial EVER (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2zps0pzrxk), the...

If you don't mind me going off-topic, Doc, what's your favorite Mario game? For me, it's pretty hard to decide between Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World. On the one hand, Mario 3 took Mario back to what made him a name in the first place, but just super-sized everything. Bigger, more varied...

I have no idea who you're talking about, Cad, but it certainly isn't me. Nice straw men, tho.

Quaid: "Is it really worth watching? Really?" Obviously I think so. He makes his points quite well and it's a decent perspective on the internet anger machine. Doc: "I guess I still don't get it" Clearly.

Sixth and final part in the series: Why Are You So Angry? Part 6: Talking to Angry Jack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfPAoz9GnWM It was a little too "us vs them" for my liking, and I have no doubt some of you will be upset at his referencing the wage gap, but there are still some...

Now who's being obtuse, Doc?

Fana: "I don't mind being shitty to people I think are wrong, Neither do you if you or them if you were to genuflect on it. it might offend them which is good cause it would cause them to develop their ideas in response." No, Fanaskin. Being offended doesn't lead to ideas being developed...

Fana: "I watched all of these, they aren't nearly as clever as they think they are." No one likes to hear a rational explanation for their own shitty behavior, right?

My stance: If she's wrong, explain how she's wrong. People who care will listen. People who don't don't matter. If it turns out there are a lot of good arguments to make about how she's wrong, she slips away into oblivion, ignored like every other flash in the pan YouTuber trying to get their...

More good insight in part 5: Why Are You So Angry? Part 5: "The Good Guy" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCqQ9LxzTwM

Fana: "I had the video of herself saying she hates video games for me to dare to think she might not be a gamer tanoomba, just because you play a more passive aggressive game doesn't mean your not an insufferable cunt yourself fyi." Ah! There we go. The second-most popular piece of "evidence"...

Fana: "I read what you said, I don't buy it at all, lalala go fuck yourself, just because something is within the realm of possibility doesn't make it probable or that I have to believe it, but if all you do is LISTEN AND BELIEVE then maybe you can ask yourself why you got conned into thinking...

Fana: "If she played the games using the elaborate video capture system she has she wouldn't have to or need to? it's evidence she's not the gamer she claims to be as an authority of the subject she's promoting, a subject she makes lots of money on? remember she's a self claimed teleseminar...

Oh, Jesus Fuck. Reread my post, and replace that sentence with "How the heck is the fact that she used Let's Play footage evidence she is a con artist?" ...You point-dodging nitwit.

Doc: "You wouldn't know since you'd just be permanently, patiently waiting for them to deliver." What makes you think her backers don't already think they got their money's worth? If they're happy, there was no con. Sorry.

Fana: "the one i've been making the whole time, it's evidence she's a con artist. Evidence she wasn't what is classically considered a gamer when she started but she constantly try'd and tries to portray herself as a person who does. a synonym of con artist is confidence trickster." Well...

Fana: "getting closer to 100 just a little more effort though" No, seriously, you shit on my perfectly reasonable and feasible explanations for her use of Let's Play footage. What's your alternative explanation? I know it's been extremely difficult to get an actual stance out of you in the...

Doc: "You must be very easily scammed. At least if it's a women doing it." Haven't been scammed yet, by "a women" (sic) or otherwise. Fana: "yeah ok, 5 different maybes that don't seem likely especially within the context of their use in the videos + "these situational maybes does...

Soy: "I want to have a ReRolled get together where nobody can use their forum handles. It would be at a bar. I bet we'd all have a good time. Then, once everyone is drunk, we all reveal who we are on the board." That would be AWESOME.

Fana: "you don't see a basic contradiction between her using let's play footage and her claiming hse personally played all the games?" There is no contradiction. Using Let's Play footage doesn't mean she didn't play the games. Fana: "+ there's an interview of her I think it was the network...

a_skeleton_03: "Ever heard of the village idiot? Yeah it can totally be endearing." He was talking about Anita, not you.

Just kidding, mate. You're a peach.

Fana: "did she not use let's play footage in her video's now?" She sure did. She was allowed to. So what? She also used her own footage. And? How does any of that affect the points she's attempting to make? Like I said, the anti-Sarks will latch onto ANYTHING if it will help them paint a...

Fana: "he's just an extreme example of a scam artist, which is not isolated to woman or video games, but if you are going to accuse someone of believe someone is a scam artist you can't help but talk about them as people." Sure, if you "believe" someone is a scam artist then yeah, you're...

Nirgon: "ya know I really didn't personally attack anyone you try to reach some people and just.. welp.." So... "idiot" is a term of endearment?

Which of his views on the portrayal of women in video games would you like me to start with?
