        So, Miguel, Do you see merit in the tendentious ADL curriculum? What might that be? @migueldeicaza

        @CHSommers whether it does is a separate discussion from the poor argument made on the video. Not worthy of pinker.

        @sapinker Thanks for RTing this, Steven. Ignore the folk saying gamers are horrible bigots. It's the same people who say EvoPsych is sexist.

        @GretchenKoch @oolon @sapinker If you are going to argue that criticism from inside a culture is a wholesale attack, we have issues.

        @Pixelfish Sarkeesian is not within gamer culture. Ergo, she cannot criticize it from within. #Gamergate @GretchenKoch @oolon @sapinker
