.#GamerGate

I don't know how many of you are familiar with #GamerGate? It's another Tipper Gore/PMRC type scenario, where of a bunch of opinionated, egotistical, elitist people want to let other people know what kind of Video Games they are or are not going to play, trying dictate what is "allowable/acceptable" imagery by "their" standards. This is censorship, pure and simple, this time cloaked in "pseudo-feminism" and distorted/demonized by the #MainstreamMedia.

Well, as I am a supporter of true Liberty and true Freedom, both creative and recreationally, therefore I support #GamerGate. No one should be able to tell adults how to spend their leisure time/lives.

They created this meme comparison, or someone who is an anti-#GamerGate supporter who thinks video games like "Grand Theft Auto" should be banned because the game "degrades women". The game degrades everyone...for fucks sake. ITS A GAME. No video game, piece of music, or anything else can be blamed for someone else's actions. People have free will, something creative doesn't make them "do" anything.

I enjoy such games, and I won't have anyone telling me what is acceptable for my leisure activity. I'll decide that for myself. Some have apparently harassed/bullied others on both sides of this issue, and I cannot more strongly condemn such actions/behavior.



-Sincerely,



David Draiman
