    Can We Stop Using Logical Fallacies and Baseless Statements? [Gamergate Related Topic]

    Not really, none of those statements apply logic to their reasoning, therefore they cannot be considered logical fallacies, merely incorrect blanket statements. Saying "I believe X to be true" is not a logical fallacy as no logic is being applied to the reasoning behind the statement. If the...

    Can We Stop Using Logical Fallacies and Baseless Statements? [Gamergate Related Topic]

    None of those are examples of logical fallacies, I believe you mean "Can We Stop Using Baseless Statements". And yes, I believe we should stop using baseless statements when discussing the issues surrounding GamerGate.

    A Challenge to Pro-#GamerGaters and Anti-#Gamergaters

    I can assure you that's not true, people representing GamerGate hold a variety of political views across the entire spectrum. Hell, I'm considered pretty left leaning and this is in Europe, I would be considered an Ultra-Liberal in the USA, about as far from the Tea Party as you can get.
