Many of them genuinely feel they're fighting an agent of hatred. They don't want their friends to dislike them for speaking out. They don't want to be a bigot They don't want anybody to feel pain. They're scared of being alone if their friends all leave them over this When they insult you, stay calm and stay kind. Don't give ground on anything, agree with them that misogyny is wrong if they bring it up but don't relent and don't let that discredit the movement Several anons have tried this approach, and it wins people over. Point out their language calmly, don't swear at them, don't #BTFO them, just be relentless with facts Facts and kindness - They are people, and people are not all bad, and we want to reach as many of them as we can. If we reach even one of them, they talk to their friends about their positive experience with us Points are conceded. It's the only way Stay strong, kindness is the greatest strength we can hope to demonstrate we have the moral high ground, dont turn this into a shouting match under any circumstances Anonymous 09/08/14(Mon)08:06:27 No.262316546 □ Anonymous 09/08/14(Mon)08:01:02 No.2623 16107-226231 6408 >>262316730 >-26231 8162 P> Positive reinforcement has always, always been the stronger tactic in dealing with any fellow creature, from dealing with a lowly dog to an oppressor to a friend.

You are trying to raise awareness of a piece of evidence, and link it via picture.

What specifically do you disagree with? >No this is PROOF of women and SJW killing video games Obviously the third response works most in our favor. Not only is it better for the image, but it is sychological roadblock. You divert their train of thought by asking for a specific, which invites them to engage the e with personal agency - IE get directly involved rather than parrot what theyve heard When they are directly involved, they are more likely to listen and reach their own conclusions. If those conclusions are wrong, they're more likely to be receptive if you're positive and thank them for taking the time to look into it. Using language similar to theirs helps (not the incendiary stuff though) If they don't get directly involved, or continue the hate speech, press them once more, and then kindly say goodbye - something like "If you'd prefer not to talk about this I understand, but please don't be abusive and deceptive," or simply repeat what they said that was offensive in quotations Dont give them any ammo, ever. If you are nice to them as well, you actually remove ammo from their magazines Anonymous 09/08/14(Mon)08:49:28 No.262320351 >>262320123 That's what pink bane quy and>262319072 are saying though. You don't have to be an SJW, you don't have to be raving and ranting, just stick to your guns and be civil about it and you'll win people over

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

Author has 304 answers and 740.1K answer views. 5y Not that I care that much either way, but it did expose a lot of corrupt game developers and game journalists. X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

Remember, everyone: Our enemy is the shoddy and corrupt state of gaming journalism and the SJWs that exacerbate the problem, not the people who genuinely want to help others and stand against injustice. Find out where they stand, and treat them with the respect they deserve, lest we become that which we despise.

Funny thing is, for about 2 years now I've tried to use this approach in all the debates/discussions I've been in on the internet, and it works wonders. I've actually had people send me messages to thank me for being calm and polite with them. It feels really good to have a discussion end happily when so many of them end in insults and vitriol.
