I do agree with his point on that. I rather see everyone pick up the pieces and repair what's left of game journalism than burn bridges and tear down what's left of it.
I'm confused because he made a joke at the expense of Patriarchy theory right after a joke about anti-feminists. Is he just taking the piss out of both extremes?

Link please? It's been a while since I saw those tweets and I don't think most people here have at all.

Just scroll down his page, they aren't to far down.

He's been tweeting about Marvel Two-In-One Annual #2 all day, and it's been at least a week since he chimed in on this stuff. It's a little hard to find now.

it was around the 11th.

That was a week ago, and Spoony does a LOT of tweets in the day. If you expect me to dig through all that just to see your point, I have news for you. You're the one who asserted this statement, the burden of proof is on you, I shouldn't have to do your work for you.
Though if I'm remembering correctly, he was actually spoofing the common arguments of the sexist trolls that he has been dealing with since siding against Gamer Gate.

In other words he's taking the piss. Yawn.

Blaming the patriarchy is a feminist thing, and he took the piss out of that, to.

He was talking about Tingle, if I'm remembering right. You'll have to provide a link so I can be sure.
No, it was referring to Link being kidnapped in the CDI games(which he joked about blaming the Patriarchy for)

I can't be sure without the tweet. I can't just take your word on this, you have to provide proof.

Yeah, you missed the point of that completely. He's mocking MR As there, and other guys who whine about Zelda being the title character in the Zelda series, and how she's almost never a playable character. It's part of a very long series of tweets, and if you take it out of context like that, you can easily misinterpret that as mocking feminists. Hate to tell ya, but the joke's on you.

I think both extremes are stupid.

Either way, you missed the point entirely of his tweet and made yourself look silly.

Because I asked a honest question out of legitimate confusion?

You kept at it after I informed you that your assessment was incorrect.

You never did, you said "I can't tell without the tweet."

Because I couldn't remember the entire line of tweets.

Let's just drop it before we derail another thread.
I don't care where you stand, but is it just me of is Spoony starting to act really immature and whiney about this how Gamergate thing?
Mad Scientist Wannabe
Only if you ignore what he retweets and what responses he's getting to his tweets on the subject. People are giving him nasty nasty shit over this.

True, but he's being a dick to some of the people that are being calm and rational and spinning quite a few strawmen(again, let'd NOT discuss the taboo subject, just his reaction to it if that may please the powers that be)
I honestly think Todd is handling it much better because he's speaking calm and rationally about it and acknowledging the valid points from both sides.

Was that Spoony as the three Wyatts? They got Harper's crazy face down pat whoever they were.
