Gaming website tells the internet misogynist horde to jog on.

This thread always reminds me of something from two years ago.

I loved this. Yes, yes and yes.

I don't know if you have been following Gamergate. It's an outpouring of misogynistic whining directed at any reviewer, critic, developer or reporter who dares to suggest that perhaps games could include female characters that, for example, wear clothes, have personalities, and are more complex than a prop or a plot device in a male POV story.

It goes beyond idiotic tweets and blog posts. Developers have been hacked, death and rape threats have been tweeted to all kinds of women involved in the industry, and (most embarrassingly for humanity), a physical protest against an individual woman's personal sexual history has been organized at a massive game conference she was attending.

Thoughts?

Don't know anything about it. But your comments that you ''loved this, yes'' etc, could be mistaken for misandrsitic comments. Just a thought.
Also, why can they not have their own space, and then women have theirs elsewhere? What is the problem? It seems in considering misandrists we have to ignore men. Surely if we consider one we should consider the other
