Before I start, let me get some things straight: I’m a queer feminist. I think society is pretty damn sexist, and that video gaming is one area where it’s particularly obvious. I think the treatment of Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian and a bunch of other people these last few weeks is despicable. I think being angry and defensive when you’re being harassed for your gender or for how much sex you’ve had is a totally valid thing to be.
But I’m so sick and tired of how some people I otherwise respect and agree with keep responding to those who disagree with them.This isn’t tone policing, this is asking you to stop using words and concepts that exclude people
There’s a bunch of things that have been bothering me – not just in the recent “GamerGate” things, but in the “Women Against Feminism” debates before that, and a whole bunch of stuff before that too. So here’s a few things we need to stop doing if we want to build the inclusive society we claim to.
