    suggesting that any and all criticism towards any woman on the internet simply must be based on her gender

    I haven’t said that. In fact, I specifically said “I wasn’t critiquing their points.”

    I have to think you’re being deliberately obtuse. This is actually why I’m being condescending: I don’t think you’re an ally. You are, in your own way, doing the rhetorical ducking and weaving that I’m pointing out.

    For example, did I say that gamergate participants were career politicians? Do you think I think they had the ability to pass laws?

    then I’m fundamentally asking the same question as you. Why are these people spending so much of their energy defending her?

    Uh. Sexism is bad, I think. I believe I’ve been told that.

    If you disagree that sexism is happening, then okay. This still answers your question. What more is there for me to do here? Would you like me to give this answer a 4th time?

      I haven’t said that.

      Do you know what the term “suggest” means? Have you witnessed the other people in this thread whose behavior you are trying to explain? Did you not literally follow that up by saying “I don’t think you’re an ally”? An ally with whom? What am I then?

      did I say that gamergate participants were career politicians? Do you think I think they had the ability to pass laws?

      You made the comparison to the rhetoric about forced bussing in the civil rights era??? I said it was an insulting comparison, then you doubled down, and now here you are agreeing that it’s a bad comparison because you think I made it.

      Uh. Sexism is bad, I think.

      Somebody should award you a nobel peace prize. That doesn’t explain why people are defending this particular artist so fervently or any significant events that would qualify as a “quick overview of the situation”?

      Lol. Lmao even. And I’m the one being “deliberately obtuse”. Holy fuck you’re annoying, your arguments are bad, and the fact you avoid the actual argument; where one might actually prove sexism, rather than make a bunch of paranoid conjecture about people engaging in the age old tradition of gossip; is not a point in your favor. You have not “earned” the right to condescend, nor to decide who is and is not an ally. This isn’t even what I was asking about in the first place and you’re really only proving my point. Go away.

        No, I think it’s a good comparison. You just don’t understand why I’m making it.

        Again, deliberately obtuse.
