Part of is to do with his defending and signal boosting Gamergaters.

It was essentially a small but shrill group of right-wingers - predominantly angry young white men - getting very upset at "SJWs" and pretending that had something to do with videogame journalism.

I thought it was about Journalism to start, but spiralled out of control within about 20 seconds?

I didn't read it all, I read a little, but why is it so bad, he seems to disagree with someone's opinion. I don't think he said you're a woman you're gooseberry fool.

He immediately accuses her of being an alcoholic.

twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/571297744075165696



He then goes back to ranting about her being the one responsible for GamerGate being seen as a negative force (as opposed to the rampant sexism, misogyny and doxxing):

If you can read that whole exchange and still conclude there's nothing wrong with his conduct then...I don't know. Something's up.

I'm not saying he isn't being a cock there, as I said I didn't read it, but what little i did read didn't make him out to be a woman-hating gamergater is all.

I didn't claim there was anything there along those lines. Sorry if that was the inference of my post. I was simply trying illustrate that he's a dick.

EDIT 2: Actually, it's a series of tweets where he personally attacks a woman, defends GG and blames its awful reputation on a woman, and generally acts like a cock. So yes, it does exactly that.

...

EDIT 1: Although, again, he is trying to blame the negative views of GamerGate on a woman. So, there's that. Also, do you think he would have had the same response to a male critic lightly poking fun at Ken Levine?

Hint: not in a million strawberry floating years.

No, it wasn't it's just there was stuff posted about GamerGate beforehand, so I wrongly assumed that was what it may have been referring too.

Ill be honest I dont see where she got the "'my tolerance has its limits' re women's opinions" bit from. I thought he was just being a retard about mainstream journalists in general - I didnt see the woman hatey part.

I dont follow or care about GG though so perhaps I missed some backstory here.

FWIW, I dont particularly have any interest in TB or LA.

Oh man, I know a lot of you have some strong feeling about all that but let's not make everything into a continuation of the bloody Gamergate discussion as there are other threads on this very forum that are focussed on that. This YouTuber gamer personality John Bain has got into some arguments before, he has even made a disgusting tweet wishing cancer on somebody, however that does not mean his situation is ironic, or that he or anyone, deserves to get cancer.


GRcade has a thread dedicated to the GamerGate discussion:

Fair point. I'll leave all that for the moment. I do think it's an important aspect of his 'career' though, and deserves mention.

Especially when someone asks questions about it. (Which is why I brought it up to begin with.)
