What this sounds like, Mr K, is the betrayal everyone on the GG side has been expecting from you and that I’ve spent considerable time disarming and convincing people to continue to give you a chance.

15 minutes isn’t enough to cover the history and it is very important to give a context. A compromise might have been a briefing document but the history is necessary to understand everything.

All these people have been making even more effort than I have been to convince people this is a worthwhile endeavour, an effort you’ve just managed to utterly undermine.

Compromise is possible, but eventually there’s not much more you can give. People have been demanding compromise from GG but not reciprocating for some time.

Fixing problems isn’t immaturity, cutting and running after creating a problem and leaving the big boys to clean it up after you is pretty immature.

Yes, it is consuming, because it’s a big issue and even more so it’s a single battleground in the much larger culture war. It’s going to take effort. Perhaps you’re learning – as many have – that this multibillion dollar industry isn’t so trivial after all.

Maybe you should have tried to smooth things over before posting this.

If you need a mediator perhaps I could offer my services as a fresh face and figure out where things got twisted.

clicking thru the links it appears that yes, that is this guy:

Do they think this is some labyrinthine conundrum that mere mortal minds have difficulty comprehending? How difficult is it to understand "gamers are deluded whining babies; here are a series of amazing and pathetic examples as to why"

Perhaps you’re learning – as many have – that this multibillion dollar industry isn’t so trivial after all.

that can be used as a readymade response to p much any argument ever. Finally something good has come out of GG!

maybe he could just stand on stage and shout that particular racial epithet for a while

not awesome methodology

our favourite grant morrison cosplayer has released a 'rough cut' of the sarkeesian effect:

his erstwhile partner has released a response video longer than the video he's responding to:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1bTPNdk5FI

i haven't watched either because fuck that but i did find a summary of the response video which includes this priceless line:

Jordan reveals that Aurini originally wanted to structure the doc as a buddy comedy and wanted Him and Jordan to be characters in the doc which he continually pushed for and says this is the reason why they were framed into the interviews.

I seen the best minds of my generation, hysterical

The vast (vast) majority of self profesed male feminists I know are very, er, non masculine guys with high pitched voices (and a valley girl twang) that were raised by a single mom.

I think they feel bad because they arent masculine, and who hates masculinity more than feminists? These guys feel comfortable with feminists because they bash masculinity, and if they bash masculinity, they dont have to feel bad about not being masculine.

The sad thing is, not even feminists really want to sleep with them, which will only further their frustrations.

true. we should all aspire to models of rugged masculinity like davis aurini

the degree to which this guy links his identity to Smoking Cigarettes and Drinking Whiskey is kind of tragic.

that's someone's grandma's sofa, too

wow that's remarkable, he really does look like skeleton. which is...ironic.

is he wearing two pagers in holsters on his belt?

prefers masculine signifiers like taut, well-toned abs and lots of leather

i see the "has a family" part of the definition of "patriarch" is slipping away

SPOILER: The big reveal of the film is apparently that Feminist Frequency's address is ... a post office box!! They tracked it down and filmed it. That is, their revelation demonstrates why people use PO boxes.

kinda lol but mostly sad

Do you guys think we could get a good Patreon going for a documentary about their documentary?

nice

Jesus fucking Christ: An entire article about the fact that Feminist Frequency can be (legally) quite cagy about the "need" to prove their charity status to just anyone, because the forms have their home addresses on them, which ends up with "Yeah, they're legit (but the documents totally have their home addresses on them)"

http://blogjob.com/oneangrygamer/2015/07/feminist-frequency-leaked-e-mails-reveal-why-theyre-secretive-about-charity-status/

So the big horrible thing they did here was use an artists' work without permission (which is what the ENTIRE youtube videogame economy is founded on) then politely remove it upon request.

And not immediately provide a document with their names and addresses on it to a doxxer's friend.
