I almost missed the humor in the first panel, just reading the speech-bubbles. Sneaky sneaky

One might hazard a guess [sub](I don't use that phrase often enough[/sub] that you might be the firestarter, twisted firestarter?The Wooster said:
OT: Nice job. What would the White Guy Defense Force do if they met the SJW Army?
Maybe take a step down off your soapbox, Zach; you can stir up an argument in the Escapist forums, you're not "internet infamous". A quick Google turns up only your Youtube and Nostalgia Critic accounts, so unless you're secretly Zoe Quinn you might want to reconsider how big an impact you have.Zachary Amaranth said:
OT: Now all the boss needs is a picture of Erin holding a whiteboard and she can start whatever she wants.
Good comic today. Short, to the point, maybe even a bit measured in its delivery.
I tend to find that about half the comics your outfit puts out are too high-concept for me: either I just don't get it or, when I do get what you're talking about, it seems like you were more interested in being clever than being funny. But this one works, and I think it's a nice comment on the...uh, 'fun' that people are having these days on the issue of gamers getting political in whatever direction.

Damnations! The youtube video is not available in my country!
I feel cheated out of a cheap shot!
They push back against shitflingers who call us all (you included btw if you play games) mysoginerds and other nice things just because we do not agree with the practices and arguments of professional victims and the conflicts of internet in games journalism where everyone is buddy buddy and interconnected to each other to such a degree that it makes your head spin, and the people that support them blindly.
Gamergate isnt ignoring the moderate people, they are simply not attacking them because they are not what gamergate stands against. And btw, gamers do call out the shitflingers on their own side quite often and rather strongly, but the nature of the internet makes it so that assholes can be assholes and no one can really do something against it kept for pointing those people out.
The reason these moderate people are mainly ignored is because they are not the enemy. Why should they be focused on when they arent the ones pointing fingers at gamers everywhere and calling them "mysogynerds" and worse? They have done nothing wrong.. they havent attacked gamers... and their arguments are also not wrong.
Gamergate is not against diversity and a better portrayal of EVERYONE in gaming, they are against being told that they are women hating fat bastards with neckbeards and yellowing underpants who are afraid the boys club is being invaded by the cooties, when over 45 % of gamers nowadays are allready female and the medium is more welcoming to any gender and sexual orientation THEN ANY OTHER HOBBY IN THE WORLD.
Dont believe me? Try to come out as a star basketball or football or soccer player. Try to get into the scouts as a kid if you are gay. Try to play with the guys in sports if youre a women. Or try to play with the girls if you are a male but identify as a woman.
You know where this stuff doesnt matter to anyone? In gaming.
And yet... we all hate women, people of different color and sexual orientation.
Screw the rules! I have green hair!

It is being ignored because diversity is not what gamergate is trying to oppose. There has never been a pushback against more diversety for crying out loud.Sotanaht said:

It's been 3 years since this, how long are we going to cling to something Bob said?, I noticed you linked it in the attempt to reignite the old discussion but it's been over and done with for 3 years now.RA92 said:
OT: I get the joke but I can't really get with all the commotion still going on through every section of this website.
Pffft-didn't you hear? Her kickstarter to read off a cereal box got a lot of money! And all because she received a few whiny crybaby "harassments" and "death threats with her address included". What a whiny baby. God, I bet the whole thing's just a scam.Zachary Amaranth said:

OT: I saw the first two panels Grey linked the other day on Twitter, and to be honest "Jim "Gave Vanquish 5/10" Sterling" and "Matt Lees' Preposterous Haircut" were enough to make me bust out laughing, everything else is just [insert overused idiom here].
Considering the tone of the recent internet argument going on I think the name Bob "Metroid: Other M is a great game" Chipman is a more interesting name.RA92 said:
Good Comic. Surprisingly moderate, calling out the ridiculousness and paranoia of some of the most vocal anti-SJWs, as well as the, ironically, bigoted hate speech typical of the very worst of the worst of SJWs. Though if recent forum activity is anything to go by the definitions of SJW and anti-SJW are apparently hotly contested so what do I know.
