I'm not an MRA. Thats a Strawman. Big shock coming from you.Gauthier wrote:You can start your own MRA forum...
You misunderstand (probably deliberately, which suggests yet another Strawman, but lets give you the benefit of the doubt). I'm not seeking minimum standards, nor am I advocating any exclusion based on posting standards. I'm observing the hypocrisy in you getting pissy over a glib posting of a meme, where your entire modus operandi is based upon employing strawmen, and glib shitposting....if you want minimum posting requirements. Otherwise this is a public forum as long as one obeys its rules. Cheers!
I can raise my game above that, I can post arguments with actual sources and evidence. You are incapable of doing so, based upon your long held MO.
As we've established, Gauther is at best a hypocrite who expects explicit lengthy responses, but is incapable of providing nuanced detailed responses of his own.Frenline Delpha wrote:It was a meme. Not much room for nuance. Are you the kind of person who asks for someone to write twenty paragraphs in their cereal box?

That claimed without evidence can be dismissed without evidence - and so far you've failed to provide evidence.
It's true that gamergate has individuals that sit in the right and/or alt-right, and you could make the case that certain high publicity individuals who advocate in favour of Gamergate are Right Wing, but Gamergate as a whole is largely left-leaning. Brad Glasgow is a journalist who is writing a book on Gamergate, which has included looking into the demographics of verified Gamergate members. He has published some results already. This largely correlates with the results linked to by Ostro earlier.
You're assuming most gamergaters are naive individuals incapable of critical thinking. You are flat out wrong. "Listen and believe" is the mantra Gamergate opposes - it's the mantra of peons in the regressive left. "Trust but Verify" is the mantra Gamergate aspires to follow - Gamergaters question the narrative peddled in the press.Heidisteinian Fempire wrote:The only reason I care, and it's a pretty important reason to me (you guys can not care), is that it makes more kids, vulnerable adults and kids, turn to a pretty scary flavor of right wing politics. It's a gateway. Gamergateway.
And you know what, instead of trying to employ cheap scare tactics, demonstrate where and how the alt-right is wrong. Don't just pretend it's an ideological boogeyman, challenge it's principles where they fail, provide evidence why they fail. Engage on a platform of rational debate and critical analysis rather than claiming it's a "pretty scary flavor of right wing politics" with no supporting rationale. It's not difficult.
The stupidity of hypocritical double standards that is fundamentally at the core of the idiocy of regressive left doublethink is evident here. Mock SJW's and suddenly you're a misogynist hating all women on the planet. Mock anyone else and it's just harmless fun!Atlanticatia wrote:It's because it's fun to mock MRAs and their talking points.
It's a standard strategy for attempting to silence disagreement. In the same way being anti-feminist means you are supposedly a misogynist (which anyone with half a brain knows is untrue), we now see being opposed to the regressive left means you are supposedly a misogynist. Of course it utterly fails, because their accusation doesn't stand rational scrutiny. Challenge their accusation, and it falls to pieces, like most of their daydream narratives.
Its actually very sexist of the regressive mob to try and cram all women into the same demographic. Women are being denied freedom of agency to choose for themselves if they do or do not find themselves in agreement with the regressive left. I'm not the one employing harmful stereotypes of all women - they are.
