i'm not just saying this to be argumentative, i really find it incredibly difficult to see why they feel the way they do here. It just seems purposefully nasty.

some people are just mean by nature, and value the idea of a space where they can freely be mean to other people without consequence.
It is understandable in a twisted sort of way, but it's not healthy and it's not desirable for anyone but them. It's like arguing racists should be left alone as long as they don't actually kill anybody, except Gamergaters have actually tried to kill people.

It's a "stop shining bright lights on me and judging me" thing.
It's like if I came to your door one day and highlighted how you're living your life wrong, in front of all your neighbors. And worst yet, I have a point. Or many.
Regardless of how good my point it, it probably won't feel good to be you.

not sure if i should just give up on trying to understand what you mean
Critics aren't, or weren't, judging gamers. They were judging the games, and the games were blatantly sexist. Sometimes racist. Sometimes both.
The gamers proceeded to make it about themselves and now they are being scrutinized, but they weren't really before, not by the critics who actually care about games (i am obviously not referring to Jack Thompson and his ilk).

I think that most people who enjoy those games are genuinely unaware of why they may seem alienating to people who don't share their mindset. It's pretty easy to get stuck in a mental echo chamber where everything you enjoy is surely hospitable to everyone if they just open up their minds to it.
This leads to them assuming that people criticize those games just to spite them, because surely that's the only reason that someone would dislike things of such undeniable quality.
I don't agree with this mindset at all, but I can understand it.
They don't have to like name-dropping famous philosophers to like philosophy. It sounds like they're debating values and ideas so they're talking philosophy anyway, just not in typical ways.

Insight wankers would burst into flames if they heard that.

i feel like to 'like philosophy' you have to actually be interested in the discipline, not just giving your own opinions and rubbishing everyone else's.

like you can see where they're coming from, but that's not the same thing as wanting to get a vacation home there
It's a thing I disagree with but can sympathize with.
Those so-called "SJWs" are not helping in being harshly critical. Rather, they should be easing the transition.
and i keep on forgetting what it is you actually mean by "math nerds"

Also bigotry justifies anger more than most things, and the industry is not a delicate thing that needs protecting from the mighty critics.

none of the journalists named by her ex ever reviewed her game, it's a complete red herring
i can't speak for ponicalica though
Yeah, that
all the fish, in fact, most of whom don't do that thing
alternatively, a catalyst

what about 'insight wankers'
it's a pun, see,
but it amused me
I will do that in the future.
my word was chosen
Insight wankers like science, and purest, most irrefutable reason.
