Isn't this happening for basically the same reason EA is voted the worst company of the year twice? A lot of the internet is made up of gamers who will act as if their gamer issues are somehow worse than actual crimes against humanity.
Though I do find it funny that Obama is higher than Bush, given the reputation of the latter.

I think it's pretty funny. Either way, I'm beginning to wonder if this site is capable of talking about anything other than gg, anita, zoe, sexism in games, racism in games, misogyny in games, mra in games, sjw in games.
The most interesting thread I can think of was the one about breast feeding in public, because it was kind of talking about boobs.

It's more of "the internet" than it is "gaming" for me. There's a reason I don't typically join guilds or make friends on forums or have a twitter handle. The connection between gaming and the internet is probably its worst aspect, as it's not helped by the overlap between the toxic internet community and the gaming community.Thorn14 said:

Don't reply to this guy
he is just getting a rise
out of you! Yes its true!
You respond and that's his cue
to start trouble on the double

You should probably just fold
When the only winning move is not to play!
And yet you keep on trying!
Mindlessly replying!

Or to put it another way, you are overreacting over a pointless poll (seriously, do we really need to gauge who is worse out of Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc.?) that some anons have raided to make a joke at moot's expense. That's exactly what they want you to do. They want you to put up a big stink over it so they can laugh at you and parade your melodramatic indignation around on the chans and ED. The best thing to do is to laugh it off as another example of the Internet being one big inside joke and move on with your life.
Eh, you're so welcome.Wintermute said:
It would be lovely to have some other threads to break up the monotony.
Yes, forum-goers, that is a hint.
Your loss, I've met plenty of amazing people on the internet. I'm having a blast playing Star Trek Online because of 4chan /vg/'s STO guild.irishda said:
The internet doesn't make people evil, it just hides the direct interaction, so buttholes don't have to worry about the consequences of being jerks as much. They were always there.
I personally think Hitler gets too much crap nowadays. One little genocide shouldn't make people ignore all the good he did for the world.
Actually he's on there 7 times. Moot is simultaneously the first, fifth, twelfth, thirty-fifth, sixty-forth, seventy-forth, and ninety-third worst person in history. Which is quite the achievement really.Thorn14 said:
Don't get offended, they just stuck every pop culture name up to get a rise. Also on the list is Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama, all the Gandhis, the Prophet Muhammad, Michael Moore, Al Gore and Bill Maher.thundra said:
There were probably a couple dozen other random names, but the ones that got traction from the 4Chan raiders are the ones that are currently in vogue. Hence upvoting the current politicians and political critics. This has nothing to do with gamergate any more than it has to do with hating Gandhi or Al Gore.
There's four listings for this Christopher Moot Poole Chan person. Whattaguy! Whose fucking e-peen do I have to sleep with to get ranked on such a mind-blowingly legit list?!Colour Scientist said:
OT: Oh, that is awesome! I can totes vote for Vlad the Impaler!
...And apparently, women really like Heinrich Himmler. Alrighty then. ...And it links to a gallery of hot Chris Pine photos! Hot diggity dicks!
Oh, OP: look at the 'See list ranked by...' menu to get a clearer picture of who thinks who is really the worst. Also, no, I am not fucking serious...much. For a clearer picture, ask me again on Tuesday. This coming Tuesday, though, not last Tuesday.
EDIT: Oh. I see he's apparently on there about seven times, actually.
I have no idea how such a vile creature is so low on the list!
You're right, this is a disgrace and I'm insulted to be a gamer.
A real game knows she's at least a 2 or a 3.

I don't know I think lacking a sense of humor is a little more sad.thundra said:
I don't like statements like this they tell you to be proud of who you are rather then what you've done. I mean I guess I did play games but that seams like a rather silly thing to be proud of.Thorn14 said:

Honestly, it is a stupid ranking site that I have never heard of and will probably never hear of again. Move along.
So wait...the number-1 worst person when I checked is Joseph Stalin...I don't see the correlation between him and gaming unless he secretly commissioned Tetris to be made so as to distract the capitalist pigs. Let's see, who else is on here...
Who the Hell is Chris Poole? Who is Pol Pot? Was he the Vietnamese Boogie-man guy? Geese, I don't get how Ed Gein, Ted Bundy and, Micheal Atkinson can't be on the top-15...These popularity contest type things just fly right over my head a lot of the time.

No it isn't. Being an anime fan isn't something to be proud of. Being a movie fan isn't something to be proud of. Being a fan of literature isn't something to be proud of. It's a thing you enjoy. Not a freaking point of pride.Thorn14 said:
