Los Angeles Times: GamerGate advocate Milo Yiannopoulos blames feminists for SXSW debacle

Earlier this year, Yiannopoulos offered to donate $5,000 to Sarkeesian's site, Feminist Frequency, or to a charity of her choice if she would debate him about sexism in gaming at the E3 conference. She didn't accept the challenge.

TIL, and I'm honestly surprised she didn't take the money and spin the whole debate into harassment.

hyper-masculine gamers

Are you shitting me? That makes gamers sound like muscular alpha bro-bots. Most are anything but.

Thanks for the high-quality journalism, LA Times. Enjoy the steady decline into print paper obscurity.

IT's weird they are both taking every chance to dig at Milo and his 'hyper-masculine' fans, but still letting his words come through. It's like the author can't decide if he loves or hates Milo.

This is a decent and fairly neutral introduction to Milo Yiannopoulos. I applaud the writer for basically sticking to the facts.

To my dismay, I am always shocked by the number of typos and usage errors I see in Breitbart articles. I'd take them a lot more seriously if they actually took the time to do basic editing. Does anyone here know anything about that?

Someone with THAT hair is gay? OMG. Crushing all my dreams.

Many feminist gamers argue that video games are brazenly sexist, routinely depicting women as scantily clad sex objects and often targeting them for violence.

Don't play games that are like that then. Problem solved!

I love how the professor brings up the threat of doxxing when THEY do it so frequently.
