SusurrusParadox: Might be worth noting that making personal attacks on the basis of gender and deliberately misgendering people is ad hominem and does not actually help any argument at all ever.
(Bonus: Intersex people exist, genitalia does not necessarily match neurology, and there are many things that were previously considered disorders that are now considered to be a part of natural non-harmful human variance.
The harm currently comes from repulsive bigoted pieces of shit that create unsafe environments for transgender people via their ignorance/prejudice/malice, resulting in a disproportionately high rate of abuse/violence towards trans people.)

Frankly, I'd prefer such awful shitstains (those espousing the archaic and distinctly Western/European notion of a sex/gender binary & lashing out at those that 'violate' it) be burned from existence, but I'll settle for hoping that y'all can read & process information & go do research on how their existence does not actually harm yours in any way so you should stop being an ass.

SusurrusParadox: archaic and distinctly Western/European notion of a sex/gender binary

SusurrusParadox: Oh yeah, and I'm pretty sure the concept of trigger warnings was covered earlier and the existence of people with PTSD, phobias, etc. that could really use such things was already highlighted.
Also, I mean, it's just polite in general to warn people of things that might hurt them.

Shadowstalker16: Chairman Pao steps down! https://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/3cueq9/megathread_ellen_pao_participates_in_no_reddit/

dragonbeast: (this might be a double post, my internet is behaving like arse)

dragonbeast: Except feminists are TRIVIALISING PTSD.

Being triggered does not equal being a bit shocked, angered or surprised. That is what SJW trigger warings are for. Thanks to the fantastic SJW, PTSD has been reduced to something like 30% of people have and it equals a slight shock. Not episodes, not trauma, just a bit upset.

Thank them for that. Also, anything can be considered triggering. The way SJW are going, texts will soon be triggerwarning: Table of content.

Hell the table of content can be the warning. Or the entirety of the text itself.

dragonbeast: HELL YEAH

And by the way, Wu's fukkin pissed at ghazi for suporting "driving a great CEO out of the industry" and ghazi was pissed back.

Emob78: At this point the butthurt trigger warnings has reached cartoon level. Just saw a post from Wu saying that it's not appropriate to say, 'that person DRIVES me nuts' because it's ableist to assume that everyone is capable of driving a car.

There's not a noun, verb, or adjective in the English language that isn't or won't be fair game with these people. Soon even using the non-descriptive 'they', 'them' or 'it' will be seen as discriminatory.

dragonbeast: In that case SJW writers should add: "This article contains SJW who insist on dehumanising and villifying gamers. They also insist to misrepresent a consumer revolt as a pro-rape anti-womencampaign and are CONSTANTLY ultra racist and sexist towards people, attacking and generalizing them based on ther gender and skin, them being white males and will disregard any hardships they face.

Will also call to violence against people of a certain gender and skin color and will talk like all of them are monsters and their opponents should be burned alive"

dragonbeast: HELL YEAH

HiPhish: Are you aware that every single society on earth that has managed to survive for more than a few generations has the some "archaic and distinctly notion of a sex/gender binary"? This whole non-binary gender bending was actually started in the West, more precisely in the US, during the last century.

Calling a man a man is not bigoted, it is accurate. I don't care what the man identifies as, because neither does prostatic cancer. He is born a man, he will die a man and it is encoded in every single cell of his body. Lying to people because you don't want to "hurt their feelings" is the most cruel thing you can do.

SusurrusParadox: Quelle fucking surprise.
Transphobic bullshit, again, from 'pro-GG' individuals.
(And.. nothing but support from other pro-GG users in this thread.
I am just shocked. /sarc. )

(Also the current & historical data supporting that people have defied the mythical gender binary in many places at many times, and in some cases were quite happily accepted by the relevant culture.)

'Beware of Dog' and all that. Or 'Danger: High Voltage'. Or 'This Thread Contains Gamergaters That Insist Trans People Are Just Mentally Ill'.

What I'm saying here is:
Check your shit and try some self-reflection/self-criticism afore you spout off.

RWarehall: Trigger warnings (as used by SJWs) aren't put there to protect anybody. They are really there to add emphasis, make people want to read further, why the people they are yelling about are jerks.

There is a reason they are usually posted up front and center of their articles. They can easily be translated as "READ ME", "READ MY ARTICLE".

Emob78: Speaking of triggers...

Some dickhead gets offended at a flea market after seeing someone selling Confederate flag merchandise... and calls 911 over it.

I only have one response. Please, here's your homework, little doggie. Now, go fetch.

RWarehall: How about you learn to use Google?

Even Polygon revised their ethics policy.

Just take the game Sunset.

That was only a couple pages ago...

WBGhiro: You know what has hurt indie game press the most the past years? Things like rigged Indiecades, Putting complete hacks and frauds like Fish, Anita and a whole slew of "journalists" on pedestals and making them arbiters of what is morally acceptable in gaming, making what social circle your game was born in matter more than its actual quality.

Gamergate is what indie games need, they don't have to be made in san francisco or bribe the newest head honcho on tumblr or something to actually get fairly promoted.
