An argument against GG I just heard. I have a friend who in his words "doesn't see the danger" with the people and behaviour which GG takes issue with. His most common assertion is that "People didn't give a fuck about Sarkeesian and others before you guys came along, her YouTube views were dropping, then you streisand effect'ed the shit out of it" When I say that people read these articles and get the wrong idea into their heads, he says "Who? I don't read these things, nobody rational reads these things, I don't care if Kotaku does unethical shit, sometimes they post ok articles" (ugh, I know) as if his reading habits are a reflection of the rest of the human race. He blames us for blowing this up to an even greater level than it was, and he asserts that "these kinds of people always eventually burn themselves out" and that "you're only making things worse". How does one even begin to debunk this? It's his objective truth and I don't get the impression he'll ever budge, but I can't say I agree, this overt political correctness shit is dangerous and I'd hate to have not done anything if it does get worse. I respect his opinion to a certain extent, he's got a good head on his shoulders, and I hate to say it, but his reaction is a common one, he's not a normie, he's a pretty hardcore gamer actually, he just doesn't give a shit. I'm starting to think he's right, I might end up spitting out the red pill... I don't have a good social ability, I'm already pretty ornery and cynical for a young man and I don't want to end up alienating the few friends I have.
