Men's Group

(I don't think Gawker media is widely regarded as objective on the matter, though, LOL)

I think like most of these noisy tumblr social justice crusdaes or internet gender wars, it takes on a vastly inflated importance to the people who make their living off of/spend all their free time obsessing over this noise.

99.999% of the actual world doesn't give a shit, could care less whether Amanda Marcotte thinks Paul Elam is a poopy-brain or Paul Elam says Amanda Marcotte eats worms. Most of the world goes on about its daily business, blissfully oblivious to who these people are, including the videogame world.

I do find it interesting that the same logic which has been applied to the gamergate dynamic, or the 'shirtstorm' dynamic- i.e. someone said something nasty to a gamergate/sexy shirt critic on twitter therefore the entire other side's arguments are negated AND the critics are forever supposed to be rendered permanently immune from criticism- is NOT extended, say, to Charlie Hebdo, who by any yardstick have endured much worse shit than Anita Sarkeesian or Brianna Wu.
