Did I walk into a thread and call you stupid? I might've, that conversation quickly turned toxic because as demonstrated by your posts RIGHT HERE, you become immediately combative and dismissive when your viewpoint is challenged on GG.
P.S. Can you cut it out in this thread? You're rapidly derailing it into a flamewar.

You do realize the fallacy doesn't have to depend on somebody saying the topic is "wrong," right? You flatout say that you cannot think of something less important. The fallacy literally reads that, "it is suggested an opponent's arguments should be dismissed or ignored, on the grounds of there existing more important problems."
But don't let those semantics stop ya.
My views on its triviality aside, I find it weird that now that video-games-as-art is gaining mainstream traction so many of those same people who wanted that status for gaming are getting pissed about feminist critique of their art.
Like.....welcome to art.

I'm not obligated to fit my opinion into one of two boxes.
Maybe some have good intention but the majority of gamergate seems to act the same as their opposition.
Fact: The majority of women in raiding cause drama.
(not all, but a vast majority)
Many Progression Guilds do not accept female raiders.
It's a game and your own guild.
If a guild only allows certain people, why do you have a problem with it?
There are still private Golf Courses that do not allow blacks or jews.
It's a game and a private guild.
Let Progression Guilds do as they like, and the n00bs can argue about the scraps they sell in the AH.
You tell me "you don't understand the topic" and then demand proof when I give you a glib, curt response to your glib, curt response?
Seriously, calm down and let's have a reasonable discussion about this instead of slinging shit in the hope of starting a flamewar and getting this thread locked please.
We have a megathread on Gamergate in the VG forums here. Locking this so we keep the discussion in one place.
