Actually, it’s about ethics in games journalism

Image via.

GamerGate is a campaign of sexist, bigoted harassment. This much is painfully clear through its actions. And yes, it’s actions that we judge, not claims that “Actually, it’s about ethics in journalism,” which GamerGaters throw out like a Pavlovian response whenever they’re called on their movement’s abusive behavior. Now, GamerGater’s ethics claims are being treated exactly how they deserve: by being turned into a meme that perfectly sends up this tired line.

Some of my favorite images from the meme after the jump (not that it’s even possible to choose favorites), plus a couple of my own shamelessly thrown in cause I’m a geek like that.

New Favorite Meme: Feminist Frank

While he can’t quite top Feminist Ryan Gosling IMHO, (I mean, really, who could?) Feminist Frank is pretty great.

Lesson learned: Never judge a bro until he’s finished his opening line.

An illustrated guide to judge’s takedown of Idaho’s same-sex marriage ban

Chief Magistrate Judge Candy Wagahoff Dale of Idaho has ruled that that state’s ban on same-sex marriages is unconstitutional. This is obviously great news for the citizens of the Gem State, including the four couples who sued the state and are “entitled to extraordinary remedies because of their extraordinary injuries,” according to Dale. And that’s not all she has to say on the matter.

Dale’s responses to the asinine arguments of Idaho state officials supporting the ban were so golden they needed to be illustrated with memes:

Shit People Say to Feminists (aka The Inevitable Is Bound to Happen)

Folks, it was inevitable. The “shit people say” meme has spilled out onto our humble feminist blogosphere. And it is chuckle-worthy (and in my experience, pretty spot on)! Check it out below. And add some “shit people have said to you” as a feminist in comments!
