I wrote “arguments” instead of “argument” because it was pretty clear to those of us outside the drama that for a lot of people it was about hating on women who had the audacity to make shitty indie games like any other shitty indie developer. There was a point hidden in there somewhere about unfair practices in the game industry in general, but I’m skeptical that most people really remember it for that today.

I want to say in advance that I am happy for everyone here who exited this pipeline, especially if you were just a kid. But I gotta say - it is creepy to me how many people there are who think so little of women that the gamer gate arguments could convince them at all. As a little kid I thought that someday men and women would all realize that we’re in this together and we’d learn to respect each other as human beings. I was so wrong.

Some really seem to love Paul more than Jesus. It seems so easy for bigots to find parts of the bible they agree with and ignore how Jesus acted entirely, since it’s all part of the bible. One of many reasons I view Christianity as a net negative in the world.
