    An alarming number of gamers seems to be under the impression that "cherry picking" somehow means using examples to illustrate a point.

        @femfreq I don’t get why you couldn’t just include the entire 90+ hours of gameplay in your youtube so people could see the full context

        @femfreq Also "both sides are equally bad" is the new "we're overwhelmingly hysterical about your facts and can't find a better argument."

        @GeekFurious Those that stand on the sidelines don't want to be pulled into the us vs. them mentality of this debate. It's toxic.

        @ArtKGreen Debates are, by definition, us vs. them. The toxicity was created by the misogynists. If you're on the sidelines, you're useless.

        @femfreq I'm curious how many examples would ever be ENOUGH? What turns cherries into reality for those people?

        @femfreq For your claims to be valid, you'd have to be able to find examples in a *huge* variety of mainstream games! Oh, er, wait.

        @femfreq They're also under the impression that something like Mirror's Edge negates ~30 years of sexism and misogyny.

        .@femfreq @DrNerdLove No, it is using incomplete examples w/o context to artificially make a point, sad cause you do have some valid points.

        @femfreq Keep on keeping on, lady. #GamerGate is just exposing how right you are and drawing out idiots willing to defend the indefensible.
