@Rogues':
mind sharing a few examples?
From the pre-interview segment:
"i liked the part where colbert asked anita to name 3 games and she dodged the question"
"Colbert should invite TotalBiscuit so people actually know what is happening. Anita even had the nerve to say that she's been a gamer for a long time, which was a blatant lie when there is a video stating that she didn't even likes games to begin with."I'm stunned the Colbert Nation staff actually bought into Anita Sarkeesian's empty nonsense. This person brings NOTHING useful or constructive to the games industry, but Colbert's team just handed her a lifetime pass to the mainstream media anyway. Like Anne Coulter, she will now spend the rest of her career publicly speaking about two things; herself, and games that she does not play."
"Colbert, please. Don't ruin yourself."
And my favorite: "There is ABUNDANT evidence that Anita Sarkeesian is a fraud. She isn't a gamer, she isn't a strong, independent woman. She is a professional victim who successfully cons people out of their money and who makes a farce out of gender equality. That the Colbert Report bought into her is one more incidence of the kind of agenda journalism that #gamergate is denouncing!"
From the Sarkeesian Interview:
"You mean like Yuna, Samas, Sheik, Tifa, Leilana, created characters in the Elder Scroll series, the Mass Effect series, the Dragon Age series, Lightning, the Fallout series, the Tomb Raider series, Peach, and COUNTLESS other strong female game characters?"
"Remember after Columbine when video games turned kids into murderers? Then it turned out that wasn't true. Now video games make men sexist… How long before someone figures out that's not true either? Or better yet, that fucking video games are fantasy and why should anyone really care about this? I don't hear anyone bitching about the portrayal of men in media that targets primarily women..."
"Can we stop giving attention to this woman already? I'm a woman that plays games and I've never been harassed for being a woman in over 15 years as a gamer. Only "girls" that get harassed are girls trying to use the fact that they're girls to get attention in games, and those can honestly go fuck themselves.
She doesn't advocate shit for us true women gamers.
Really disappointed to see someone like Colbert give this fraud this much attention."
""Im an avid gamer!" >she can't even name 3 games. She even complained about more than 3 games in her vids and she doesn't even name those? See,she doesn't give a shit bout video games."
Nothing about Ethics in Gaming Journalism. Just pure salt lmao
Sorry wags, still haven't seen anyone say "The Colbert Report isn't a legitimate news source anymore!" yet. The bold is the closest thing I found to it
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
Lollll I stand corrected Wagomu,
"magine if the WaterGate news story was only reported by information supplied by Richard Nixon? That's what The Colbert Report has done with #GamerGate - drawn it's information from a source that refuses to be criticized. Anita Sarkeesian & Richard Nixon have a LOT in common!
"Journalistic Integrity" has become an Oxymoron... "
