Stream of Consciousness

Online harassment is on the mind again following Total Biscuit's post detailing the nonsense he's been going through. I read someone basically going, "Well, he's an asshole. He's the problem."

Ugh.

Completely unacceptable.

These people are doing exactly what they spoke out against in regards to Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian. The exact same thing.

Disgusting.

My mind is just a haze of descriptive words, though really it's mostly cursing.

I'm just incredibly tired of the distractionary tactics. "Let's talk about harassment," gets interrupted with "Zoe Quinn is a slut," "Anita Sarkeesian stole kickstarter money," "TotalBiscuit is toxic," and all manner of other irrelevant talking points about other people.

It derails the point of the conversation.
