Microsoft, EA and 1200 other developers call for an end to hateful speech

Well looks like every developer is getting tired of being annoyed by people using hateful speech online. Tbh i agree with them but sadly its never going to end. People will call each other -blam!- to the end of time Edit:Here's a link to boogies petition https://www.change.org/p/the-gaming-industry-please-stop-the-hate?recruiter=22455684&utm_campaign=signature_receipt&utm_medium=email&utm_source=share_petition

  • petition was signed by: Zoë Quinn (The Quinnspiracy) That whole petition stems from these past 2 weeks and the whole Anita and Zoe debacle. Everyone should really do the research before blindly signing such a toxic petition that is here to make gamers look stupid and 'forget' what we have been fighting for these past 2 weeks. If you wanna sign a REAL petition boogie2988's is much better. All the 'harassment' and 'hate' Anita and Zoe receiving from a few fabricated sources or people does not make every gamer like that. Because guys and gals ... clearly, I mean CLEARLY WE [i]ALL[/i] (all of us gamers) are harassing, hateful, and mean towards each-other and sent them threatening mail. This petition will calm us down to be civil people because clearly we aren't humans with a conscience and this petition will sit us straight, we need to be reminded not to be mean online. [i]Shame on us[/i] for voicing our opinions to protect the true gamer identity and then being blamed for these past 2 weeks while [i]corruption[/i] in our industry turns it upside down, yeah shame on us ... not the people who made the whole mess. Yeah I'm not signing some petition that assumes we all bad and associating myself with someone like Zoe who abused the gaming industry and fellow gamers to get [i]fake reviews[/i] for her game, then in turn won't face the facts. Then we have a fake 'critic' named Aninta who blocks all comments and open dialogue to spread nonsense that all gamers are misogynist even if people's arguments have nothing about misogyny and more about her fallacies in her videos. Sure I'll sign it once they stop shutting out gamers and putting people like Zoe and Anita in pedestals and expose them for the viruses they are to our gaming industry. The media may side with them because they'd rather report a juicy story that gamers are bad and not the truth of these past few weeks but eventually they will lose. Allowing them to block off communication with us, the gamers the people who keep the industry alive, and then making us all the bad guys is not going to make people happy. Besides Boogie2988's petition is spot on. This one above a load of crap to make it look like some sort of 'truce' and we can just all 'move on' and totally forget about what transpired these past few weeks. Sorry but I will not be fooled so easily. Just think, this petition wouldn't have stemmed if the events of these past few weeks didn't occur. It was never about making everyone play nice online. It's about saving face and I don't buy it. Gamers aren't bad people and I won't sign a petition that is signed by people who assume by default we are bad.
