hey gawker dudes. what the fuck is wrong with you?

i kind of appreciate the gawkers staffs histrionic reaction to this

there've been like zero solidarity resignations from editorial right? everybody just mad enough to say "well this sucks" and move right along

i mean they did put it on a t-shirt and m/l equate it with actual social justice movements, which says more about them than anything else they've done w/r/t this, none of it good

"Say their names"

right i think the shirt kind of um

negates the need to reiterate the abhorrent joke

just this year i found out that the crag guy is the guy from yes dear

whats yes dear

sorry trying to poke fun at the shirt, probably awkwardly, not the other thing xp

do I even want to know who the shirt-wearer is there

xp it was a sitcom that was never funny except for one episode, which is one of the funniest episodes of any sitcom I've ever seen.

let us do a groupwatch of that sitcom, hit us up with the requisite putl0cker link

idgi he was on the show?

*sad voice* otm

mordy, it is actually a relevant insight esp wrt jezebel being an important cog in their wheel and actually there are less dudes than women in "humanity," you schmuck.

oh plz, maura's exasperated "there are a lot of dudes on the internet" is not a 'relevant insight'

like where this is going

i haven't seen the oral history tho - i'm really surprised if it doesn't include gould

actually there are less dudes than women in "humanity," you schmuck.

Agreed that Mordy here is a schmuck, but the numbers balance actually shifted back in favor of the xy chromosome a few years ago (not by very much).

your damning of someone's casual tweet about something as not being relevant or insightful enough is frankly not relevant or insightful enough

oh plz, maura's exasperated "there are a lot of dudes on the internet" is not a 'relevant insight'

or... it's accurate. just look at ilx with almost zero female voice or poc.

oral history http://www.amazon.com/Gawker-Oral-History-Kindle-Single-ebook/dp/B0127Z6F5O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437588217&sr=8-1&keywords=gawker+oral+history

surely the internet has never been hostile to women

published two days ago

I hope he didn't rush it

the w's at the beginning of every URL are actually m's with little forward/backslash arms cheering on the side, this shit has been going on since before tim berners lee

like why are even criticizing someone's tweet for not being a relevant insight, regardless of anything else

do you run around interrupting just-shooting-the-shit conversations yelling "NOT A RELEVANT INSIGHT" in ppls faces irl, or

I could see that

and sure, a woman tweeting about being exasperated with dudes probs doesnt feel relevant to you

wonder why that is

yeah idk roxy i'm not really invested in this argument i don't see it becoming the next big clusterfuck. i am sorry i minimized maura's tweet and gender disparity on the internet.

my God

It is not that #GamerGate went against feminists but feminists went against gamers and game developers. They are choosing to continue this fight. Their big mistake was attacking a foe who is impervious to their strongest weapon, seduction, #WeAreNotYourBoyfriend

Videogames are stupid.

lol reading that was the exact comment where I went "wtf are you doing with your life Joan, gtfo this comments thread"

Yeah, lots of women out there just working their evil wiles on Gamergate neckbeards.

ps fu videogames are rad even if the culture is fuckin toxic

^^

I got to paragraph two just about my God

max read's fateful miscalculation

the arc of gamergate is long, but it bends towards justice

I've found that the secret to liking things is often to avoid 90% of the people who like the things you like.
