This is what I was referring to. Your statement reads like a religious dogma. There is no argument, no proof, no room for nuance. Just an axiom, which should be taken at face value and assimilated into one's set of beliefs. And this is something GG does very often. They build entire mythologies about the movement to paint the movement as some sort of a bogeyman. I think this is beneficial to gamergate. The opponents, with all their propaganda, make themselves appear ridiculous and work hard at discrediting themselves. Gamergaters don't even need to engage in advocacy. They just need to let the anti-GG keep being anti-GG.

Just an axiom, which should be taken at face value and assimilated into one's set of beliefs. No proof? http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Timeline_of_GamerGate#August_2014 http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Timeline_of_GamerGate#August_20... These links might be helpful to you. As with any Internet discussion, not every point may be immediately substantiated. Your comments in this thread haven't been either.
- mushtifaha 11y agoHeh, this site offers as much "proof", as those shady news sites no one has ever heard of which pro-Russian internet trolls use to "prove" that there's no Russian invasion in Eastern Ukraine. The parallels between the techniques employed by the anti-GG/SJW crowd and those of the Russian state propaganda are uncanny. Strange times we live in.
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoIf you consider this bad, wait until you see what "proof" gamergate offers.
- brymaster 11y ago>rationalwiki Very ironic that you decided to link to that RationalWiki piece, actively edited by the notorious 'Ryulong' who was banned from Wikipedia largely in part by his bad behavior (rule-beaking, undoing edits, bias and unethical practices) on the GamerGate entry. (https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ryulong%20banned https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ryulong%20banned) Wow, I mean come on!
