Please tell me that you’re not just straight-up ASSUMING that all (or even most) and not just a some of the people who are against Antia’s bullshittery are somehow plagued to the bone with some form of “dEeP sEaTeD mIsOgInY”, because if you are, then there’s just no question about it that you are an absolutely phenomenal jackass.

She disagrees with the modern movement on some points and is therefore generally considered a heretic/not a real feminist/evil/triggering/we need play-doh.

Double news flash: there may be “some people” who say these things, but you do not have to be among them. And you should seriously consider your position if you find yourself on the same side as such people.
 
Oh come on, this is true of any online movement about anything. Here’s anti-GG: http://gamergateharassment.tumblr.com/
 
If you dug up Ferguson protesters online, you could do the same thing. Or Darren Wilson supporters. Or environmentalists. Or Republicans. Or the social justice movement, generally. Or…probably Disney fans, somewhere or other. If you judge a movement based on its worst members online, you’re always going to find something highly objectionable that can be used to discredit. When one side of the argument spends most of its time complaining about how terrible the people on the other side are, perhaps it’s more telling about the alternate side.
 
About 1-2% of the population are sociopaths. If you have a Facebook group for a local ordinance regarding potholes which gathers 1,000 supporters, ~10 of them are going to be sociopaths. If one of them (or for that matter someone else) were to write to the mayor to get rid of the potholes or (s)he’ll fucking kill him/her, the argument for the pothole ordinance doesn’t change.
 
I’m not even a GGer really but this strikes me as a dumb argument I’m seeing used more and more.

And when Joss Whedon jumped in. And, and…
 
Late but lmao if you think Joss Whedon has watched a single second of Tropes vs. Women.

Who said anything about “masculinity” as you’re describing it? I was talking about boys, thank you very much. I don’t give a rip about the machismo of popular sports, and the idea of “girl power” is no less dumb than a chest thumping jock.

Gridiron football involves 30 6-foot tall he-men smashing into each other over and over again. It is the single most popular sport in the US, and the NFL is a dominant cultural force here. It has been for decades. American culture is so incredibly enamored with masculinity (between our armed forces and athletics and popular media) I’m shocked anyone seriously thinks it’s in danger.

My jaw has hit the floor after that…I didn’t even think women like those even existed, such a shame they have to associate themselves with feminists considering the stigma that comes with the name.

You’re off your rocker if you think Wilson is guilty of “police brutality,” but that really has nothing to do with any of this.

The guy had no reason to apologize. It’s a shirt and ,might I mention, a woman made it.
 
If we can allow women to walk around with menstrual bleeding shirts, with fingering mind you, with giant vaginas on it, a man can wear a shirt with women on it in Shadowrun type leather suits.

@Marshal805 Because I dealt with the former for 10 years without change. But this is at least accomplishing things.  
Everything still looks the same on that front. Pigs shoot innocents, get away clean and even if convicted of this or worse which takes DOZENS of repeat cases and clear and actual collusive evidence they get a softhanded pat on the rear and retire with full honours and pension. It is clearly just too broken to fix without a total nationwide revolution.  
Essentially we need the late 60s to happen again, and this time for the public and national guard to not back down. The police have shown time and again they too need to be policed just as strictly. Campbell, MainEvent, and Felix appear to feel similarly, the media war is one that can be won, the war on the law still has too citizens many whom blindly put trust in it. The media isn’t even backing them aside from the usual suspects, and yet they are still unassailable.  
(It also does help that media personalities are not offered the same restrictive access about their public records pigs are)

@mathprofbrony Actually it’s because I was already on lists for participating in anti-globalist protests, and I figure turnabout is fair play. I was dogged by Liberation Front loons and ‘antifa’ cronies for years after I split with them. You don’t get many friends in law by being someone that regularly chanted “The only good pigs are dead pigs” and meaning it. And also chucking bricks at them. Old me would completely be at Ferguson right now if the GG thing hadn’t come up. New me is like “I’ve known the pigs were inconceivably corrupt for 20 years, get on my level kiddies.” I just can’t give a damn about police brutality or coverups or executions or anti-populous government corruption anymore. It’s been going on since I was freakin’ born, and it doesn’t look like it’ll change anytime soon. But at least we can get those types of people out of media.
