Don't you think this is a *little bit* of an over-reaction? Even a little? This isn't really that serious of an issue, the DDOS attack will be over and then this whole topic will blow over, and we'll all go back to how things were previously. This isn't a dramatic stand-off in Braveheart, it's a bunch of people on the internet shouting at each other about how the other side is so dumb and they should just stop being so dumb cause if they disagree with them they must be dumb or terrible people, right? Both sides are making massive straw men of their opponents and acting as if the vocal minority is all that represents the opposing group. This entire conflict is pointless and stupid, and acting as if it's some sort of crisis of free-speech is pointless, it's not. Nobody involved in this cares about your free speech or about mine for that matter, so the best way to deal with this is to ignore it and wait for it to blow over, which it will.Witty Name Here said:To anyone curious. Yes. This is an attack by the Anti-Gamergate side. Kuchera was unable to browbeat Greg Tito into censoring the discussion, now that the corrupt journalists are losing this debate rapidly, the Anti-GG side is desperate to shut down the discussion.
*Sigh* Snip
This "Anti-GG" side has no power, the pro-GG side has no power, they have each have their own little corners of the internet to talk about how the imagined oppressors of the opposing viewpoint are so awful and disgusting but they can't honestly make anything worse or better for the opposite end of the spectrum. Might as well put a disclaimer down here: I don't give a shit one way or another which side is right, or better, or anything like that, I long since checked out of this, but seeing people flail around, grand-standing and acting as if they're about to storm the gates of mordor irked me. So I felt I had to say something.
