re: #48 klys

I got downdinged today for saying that I would not sign onto a movement that got its start harassing women. (And then another one saying that we clearly disagreed and probably wouldn’t be able to reach agreement, so I was done with the conversation.)

I’m done.

Yeah, it’s pretty much like that. The fifth fucking comment in was someone speculating that about how much harassment comes from women attacking other women.

Pointing out that that’s primarily a MRA/MBF response pretty much opened the flood gates. It should be pointed out at no point did I say “All male gamers do this” or anything of the sort.

The whole “Well, yeah, women do bad things, too” response is no different than all of the conservatives and “independents” who go “Well, yeah, Democrats do it, too” defensiveness.

I’ve been fairly down about the Internet’s effect on humanity lately, mostly because of this crap.
