Well, I do think you're a dickhead, for supporting Gamergate and also because of the things that you say on here generally. But I don't think - for instance - that you personally were doxxing or giving death threats, and I accept that you weren't in favor of those things either.

The thing is, dickhead is a broad category. I don't think that the majority of Gamergaters were doing those things. but I also think that the movement as a whole was vituperative and toxic, and that the behavior of the movement as a whole was as much about misogyny as any of its stated goals, and that its stated goals were wildly disproportionate to almost anything it did, and that it was taken advantage of by people whose political views are evil, and that the people who supported the movement mostly did so either because they agreed with some part of that fucked-up ideology and that misogyny, or because they placed a disproportionate amount of importance on its stated goals that blinded them to the actual actions of the movement, or in a small number of cases because they were duped.

I think that being critical of the movement as a whole is justified for reasons beyond the actions of the lunatic fringe, and I think that saying that you're scared of the lunatic fringe of the movement is justified if you're someone like Felicia Day. And I don't think that's just because the media has painted a nasty picture. And I don't think that those things are broadly the case with feminism as an ideology and a movement, outside of its lunatic fringe, although I know that you disagree with feminism as an ideology.
