The thing about learning is that if you want to figure out why your beliefs may contrast with others you need to probe for answers. You haven't really given anything except anecdotal evidence about why GamerGate supporters are not mysoginist (or that it's been widely misconstrued). They've mostly been shot down with ridicule because they're not grounded in fact. How do I not know you're just making all this up? I don't. That's why you need to present evidence. You can take your time, and you should probably just take a step back and really think about the issue on your own for a bit until you can solidify your feelings on the matter. If you still feel like you support your argument then gather some data, write a well thought out response, and post it here. Will it get barraged? Most likely. You're going against a lot of people who have a firmly held position on the matter. But you should learn from that instead of taking it as a personal attack. Is there something we're missing? And more importantly can you support that point with evidence?
It also seems more and more that you didn't post here to prove us wrong, you posted here looking for reassurance that Rym and Scott don't think you're a bad person. You've quickly learned a far scarier truth - That they don't care either way. As long as you wrap up your self worth in these ideas, this thread (and likely forum) will just hurt you.

I'm pretty sure you just nailed it on the head here. These were my exact thoughts reading through the last few pages of the thread.
In 2002, a crack debating unit was banned from reddit for a logical fallacies they didn't commit. These men promptly made new accounts, new screennames, and escaped to the wilds of the internet. Today, still wanted by the admins, they survive as debaters of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the Argument Team.
I was out of town for the weekend. What did I miss?
Looks like Halfmoon came here trying to defend GG. Ignored every request for evidence backing his baseless claims, and took every (admittedly also not backed up with evidence (gotta be fair I went back and checked)) attack on GG as a personal attack on himself. Proceeded to exasperate everyone who confronted him by muddying the waters and now there's talk but no action of his being banned.
Ah yes, and I also missed that there was some speculation that he didn't come here to defend GG at all he just wanted to be validated by the hosts as a good person while still having a non 0 amount of like for gomergoat.
BTW Rym, I appreciate that link, I'd not read it and I have now, gomergoat went up a few notches in sinisterness in my head.
How am I supposed to prove I'm not a spy. If I was some spy why haven't I just DDosed you when things were looking bad?
Convince us you're not a spy? Well it'll never happen quick but a good start might be answering Kate's, Rym's, Axel's, and a whole bunch of other people who all have the same questions:
What parts of gamergate do you support? How can you prove to us that gamergate isn't just a misogynist movement?
Well I feel like I have to reply to accusations of being an 8chan spy. Rym said he looked through my Reddit posts, have him tell tell you if my Reddit is connected to a Chan account. Have fun digging through my GWA clips to find nothing.

Repeating yourself isn't a great defense. A great defense would be to explain yourself.

What, specifically, do you support in the GG movement and why?
Anyway, Gangsta's Paradise and No Man's Sky say I don't care anymore. Answer the questions, or be irrelevant. Your choice.
Seriously, if this isn't fun for you, why don't you just go do something that is instead?
