While the 'relevancy of the article' may not be in direct regards to men's rights, the events are. An article about a woman raping a man doesn't directly relate to men's rights either, as it is against the law for anyone to rape anyone. If we limited the posting of things here to articles that explicitly relate to men's rights, we wouldn't have many things to post here.

This will prove to be counter evidence, because the people who believe things like video games cause violent behavior, or people like Anita Sarkeesian who blame public shootings on video games and notions of toxic masculinity, do NOT acknowledge inter gender violence, and are quick to blame men for the majority of violence throughout all walks of life. The rationality of people we deal with is often not high on the scale of logic.

Again, the article does not specifically have to mention men's rights. The majority of the articles we post here do not. An unfair divorce settlement that states only the facts should be posted here as well as any other things that relate to things we discuss on this board, and this relates.

Section 1. Proslepsis of article Apophasis:

When paralipsis is taken to its extreme, then proslepsis occurs, whereby the speaker provides full details stating and/or drawing attention to something in the very act of pretending to pass it over; for example, "I will not stoop to mentioning the occasion last winter when our esteemed opponent was found asleep in an alleyway with an empty bottle of vodka still pressed to his lips."

Paralipsis was often used by Cicero in his orations. For example:

"Obliviscor iam iniurias tuas, Clodia, depono memoriam doloris mei" ("I now forget your wrongs, Clodia, I set aside the memory of my pains [that you caused].")

Okay.

I'll try to clarify where the relation to GG comes from.

The entire issue of GG is that pro-GG people believe that there is a sexist (in favor of feminism/women) and unethical issue with the majority of the gaming journalism (and I am loath to use the term) industry. Many people are claiming that many gaming journalists are resorting to "yellow journalism" in order to paint males in a negative light and allow feminist dialogs to reshape the gaming industry against its primary demographic.

The writer of the aforementioned article was forced to add an "anti-gamer-gate" disclaimer to his article to avoid inflaming feminist/anti-gamer-gate sensibilities because his article's very existence paints female gamers in a bad light. The very subject of the article also goes against the pro-feminist/female narrative that the anti-GG advocates are promoting (men=bad/women=good). The fact that the author has to do such a thing to avoid being attacked and/or blacklisted by the anti-GG faction is endemic of the very negativity that the pro-GG advocates is campaigning against.

There you go...does that make sense now?

Because Gamergate is related to Mens Rights. Because the claims of anti-Gamergate crowd is that its only men that behave this way and that its men against women, and its not a safe place for women because of men. Gamers have always maintained that its not because they are female that female gamers can get shit talked (etc), its the nature of the game.

Here we have all female teams literally attacking each other, in a planned and what sounds like brutal gang assault where people involved were lucky to walk away without serious injuries, which I think anyone can agree is actually worse than just getting some shit-talk online. Yet if a male gamer even said anything that could be interpreted as sexist somehow to the female team at a tournament like this they'd be held up as more proof of misogyny in gaming and how awful male gamers are.

Here we have a case where its only women, in an female-only tournament and you don't just find some of the same behaviour towards each other, but in this case planned violence on the streets. How often does that happen at regular tournaments between men? It looks like women have more to fear from other women.

Ok if your trying to say that only guys can be violent, well none is stupid to argue that point.

Anti-gamergate people really are arguing that its men against women, that women suffer from male abuse and target women for bullying harassment and even violence.

Second this article relevance to gamergate/men right has no connection at all but the ones you tie to it, in this case they are female gamers.

Did you not read my comment? The fact that they were female gamers at a female tournament and not only managed to have similar "bad behaviour", but progress to actual street fighting which is something I think no one has seen from any males in a gaming tournament shows its not at all a male behaviour. Most shit-talk common in a variety of FPS games isnt even serious, but this is rather relevant when anti-gamergate claim its a male behaviour and men are a threat to women when no men involved still led to a gang street fight.

This article would be written the same way if it were a all guy group v guy group.

Its not the wording of this article that's relevant Im talking about the scenario that's relevant. The only thing that would be more relevant is if it were a female gamer group attacking male gamer.

Sadly, that is one of the thing I hate about activist subreddits, automatic downvoted for questioning the purpose of the article. I only questioned it because the author of the article specifically wanted to point out that this is gamergate related but eh.

Disclaimer: For the sake of clarification, Reason Gaming, an all-female CS:GO team, was allegedly assaulted by Imaginary Gaming, another all-female team. This article has nothing to do with, or is in anyway related to, misogyny in gaming, GamerGate, et cetera. It is merely a report detailing a relevant, interesting event in the video games industry. At this year’s Electronic Sports World Cup, Reason Gaming’s all-female Counter-Strike: Global Offensive team won the tournament’s French qualifier, beating out another team of female CS:GO’ers, Imaginary Gaming, subsequently earning them spot in the event’s main tournament.
