I'm sure the mods will explain it well enough with your ban message.
Anyway back OT, hopefully this win is the beginning of a trend.

It's been nearly two years. If that's his "understanding" it's not because he hasn't had access to information
If he can use the Internet to make a baseless statement that's obviously false he can use the Internet to amend for his mistakes.
No patience for those kind of people.

And the head in the sand assholes populating the thread isn't doing anyone any favors either. You're using a computer, you are browsing an enthusiast's forum. This shit has been going on for three years and if you refuse to actually attempt to learn about the subject at hand? Fuck off.
It's been proved multiple times since day one that the "she used her influence to get postive reviews" is false.

To be fair to Brave, the number of people/places saying that shit probably greatly out-number people giving an honest description of the situation. I wouldn't be surprised if most people who've heard of Gamergate heard it from an unreliable source.

Hopefully you didn't miss my reply, as I'm genuinely curious what you base your opinion on, as I do disagree with your point of view but at the same time, perhaps if you showed me what spurs this belief I might have an easier time understanding.
Id ask if you knew that you fucked up, but that's clearly an alt, so I'll just assume you're shit posting for the sake of shit posting.
This is what gamer gate is and is not

I do not think someone who accuses Zoe Quinn of that shit without evidence in 2016 is sincere or worthwhile.
Disgusting.
Yeah no. I've seen this trick used loads of times and we're not falling for it.
This post is still important it seems: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=134397896&postcount=12285
Yeah this. I get incredibly biased POVs so I cant ever get a straight answer it feels like.

Goddamn even this is practically word for word the typical gator spiel.
Not sure what there is to argue about when there wasn't actually an argument in the first place either lol

And if a junior gets banned for getting annoyingly argumentative about discussed-to-death claims that have long since been disproven, people that spend no time on gaf start screaming "censorship" and "hive mind".
They're posting on a message board on the internet. Maybe try googling it before shitting out garbage like that. If you're accusing people of "hiding behind feminism" the world would be better with you educating yourself quietly somewhere instead of shitposting on a message board anyway.

Essentially your understanding is the exact argument used by shitheads to discredit her, hence the tone of the replies.

I fixed it. I was copying and pasting it directly from her twitter feed.

That was what her boyfriend claimed back then, but nothing was proved to be right. His post at least can be used as an example of what started all.
I thought I also didn't understand, since it's so dumb that I thought that I must have missed something in the middle...
Oof, I'm really not surprised based on your posts over in OT in that loss of respect thread.
What's in the OP pretty much tells the story. GG rallies behind Zoe's ex and other key figures. He hates Zoe, he's abusive and so on. That guy plays the victim to manipulates people to his side and has gotten gamergate to attack her further and calling her a whore and all the awful things you can imagine.
They never let up their attack and no matter how many you block, they just create a new account. They have a lot of sock-puppet accounts to use. They hate women, believe that they're not gamers and intruding in on their space. Even saying that women are ruining video games. That's not to mention the doxxing they will do if they personally don't like you. They also have a lot of white nationalists/neo nazis in their groups and even side. Oh and another big kicker! They side with Jack Thompson just because he had a dumb thing to say about Anita. The guy who actually and outright, tried to ban video games.
They're a hate group in video games and do it all under the phrase "this is about ethics in game journalism."

So would you say it's about ethics in games journalism?
Something something ethics.

First you would have to find a GGer capable of thought.
Gamergaters are a bunch of MRA-type whiny manbabies using horrible means to try to silence socially progressive/politically active types (mostly women, but also some men who support those women) who want better representation for minorities & genders other than white straight men. They hide behind claiming their movement is about "ethics in video games" but are really only doing it because they feel threatened by a shift in the status quo that sees their centuries long dominant stature in the world diminishing a little as gays, women & black people, among others, are getting getting treatment a little closer to being equal to how white, straight men get treated. They perceive that as being others dragging them down to their level & taking their rights & such away when it's really just others finally getting a better chance to climb closer to the often privileged life of white, straight men.
They are (mostly) men who don't perceive there to be any huge inequalities for blacks & other ethnic minorities, gays, women etc. in the world and feel that any increase in representation for those groups is something away from their fun and is just "SJW" bullshit that forces black, gay & female main characters down people's throats.

Haha, this has been disproven a long time ago. At least your username is appropriate.

If that's your understanding then I'm afraid you've misunderstood.
Hey please don't lump me in with GG please.

It may've seemed that way initially, and may even be true in some tiny but ultimately meaningless way, but it took barely a moment for Gamer Gate to develop into a harassment campaign that spams death threats and aggressively digs into private citizens' backgrounds over even the most innocuous of opinions and statements. They keep saying it's about journalistic integrity, but obsess over feminism rather than the obvious problem of gaming journalism being funded by the industry it's supposed to report on (a problem with most enthusiast media).

Regardless of the grander implications of GG, It must be cathartic for her to win the case. Her life, as well as many others, has spiraled out of control because of assholes on the internet.
Hope things get better for her and anyone else affect negatively.

I think we avoid it. It's for the best
There is no evidence it happened. None.
That is what makes it so ridiculous to see someone make that accusation in 2016. In a thread about Zoe Quinn finally getting some respite from the shit her ex started, we still have juniors coming out of the woodwork to parrot baseless accusations.

It was disappointing to read this and then discover you weren't (yet) banned.
Great job. You should apply to work for trump.
