Gamergate 2 is on, and I want no part of it

-

 This will not be a long post, but I just want to make clear, as someone who was involved in the first go-round of Gamergate, I want no part of any notional sequel.

For starters, I already found my niche as a games reviewer for ChristCenteredGamer, a place where I feel free to review games on their merits with no chains on my work save our Christian focus and my own conscience, and that is enough for me. My only service to the world as regards gaming is to continue to review games as honestly as possible on their technical merits, unbiased by anything else, and I'm pleased to remain doing so as a reviewer for CCG.

That aside, I want to make perfectly clear I do not want to get in the trenches of any sequel (which appears to be on right now). For those that do, on any side, you do you, but I found my place in the world, I shall stay uninvolved.

Top five dumbest people in the Bible

-
A friend of mine who read my previous post about Bible humor pointed out that the Bible was amazingly honest about a lot of stupid people in the Bible, and even though the Bible is a mostly human document with some quotes from God, it's still quite impressive for the level of unvarnished human stupidity it covers without trying to whitewash it. And since some of the mind boggling idiocy is funny in hindsight, I'd like to to cover the top five dumbest people in the Bible. 5. Nabal, the guy who decided to piss off David for no good reason. This guy seemed rather appropriate to start off with, because his very name means someone who is a fool, and while his stupidity is rather brief, it's still astoundingly dumb. During David's days wandering around as a mercenary and blade for hire, he found some really rich dude named Nabal with a ton of livestock who was currently doing a lot of harvest work, and David generously offered to provide security for his farm animals

It seems Brianna Wu is desperate to censor any mention of their former identity off the Internet

Brianna Wu is now on a rabid quest to censor all information about being born John Walker Flynt off the internet, as documented here: http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/02/13/the-wacky-world-of-wu-the-tortured-history-of-gamergates-self-styled-feminist-martyr/ In this article, Wu's past is revealed for what it really is, including the fact Wu was born John Walker Flynt. Wu is now desperately trying to remove this information from the internet, apparently unaware of a little thing called the Streisand Effect, which means the more you try to censor, the more people will spread it. You can see Wu's terror of this information getting out here: https://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/688139264907849730 https://twitter.com/Spacekatgal/status/687845245481009152 Wu is trying to go to the top of places like Twitter, Facebook, Medium, Youtube, and even here to silence this information, even though the only thing Wu really wants to censor is already public information.

Wikipedia and Rational Wiki's non outing policy on Brianna Wu (aka John Walker Flynt), and why it's stupid

-
First off, there is a reason this blog post is titled this way: I want to add another Google result for the truth a certain middling male to female transsexual indie game dev with a big mouth and mile long list of lies and bullshit stories is trying to suppress. My admission of blatant trolling out of the way, now onto the actual subject. Both Wikipedia and Rational Wiki have entire teams of people suppressing any hint of information about Brianna Wu being born John Walker Flynt, Wikipedia because of their terror of being sued/Biographies of Living Persons policy, and Rational Wiki for similar reasons, not to mention they've taken such a blatant anti-GG stance they don't care to pretend they are neutral, which means this information cannot exist in any form there. Let me tear apart the reasons they say we should not mention Brianna Wu was born John Walker Flynt. Note: I'm primarily addressing the parties who disagree with my feelings here. 1. What a person does no
