So thats a yes, you have literally never actually read her work. You could have at least come out and said so from the beginning. "Just words" what a spit in the face of her work.

Is there any point in discussing a topic with someone who apparently learned of its existence about 20 minutes ago? Go shit talk some other professional bud, youve made enough of an ass of yourself here.

Insane to see someone try and neg anita by pretending to be offended about gamergate

I don't see how you got "negging anita" out of me complementing her incredible academic work. I was a huge fan of her Tropes vs. Women in Video Games series, as well as the content she was writing at the time. I am sure she's done other work that I'm not familiar with, too. I am not claiming to be an expert on her entire body of work, but I definitely have seen and read her academic-oriented work.

It's not journalism, but one could argue it's more important because it has a thesis and provides evidence through careful academic arguments and research.

None of what I've said has warranted how you're treating me, so I have to ask, what's going on? are you OK? Why does my definition of journalism threaten you this much?

Why are you still here? Did you not say I hurt your feelings too much to continue?

We already established you do not understand what you are talking about and that you have no interest in changing that. Did you want to insult a different journalist real quick? Do you need an audience for that?

I'm sorry you're like this but I wish you well.

You know what I realized?

Youre the guy who refuses to call non medical phD holders doctors, and then acts like the indignant victim when people rightly call you out for insulting people by refusing to use their earned title.

You dump tons of praise on a journalists work to deflect from the fact that you dont actually respect the work. Its not of a high enough standard for her to have earned her title to you.

Youre a dick here just like I am sure youre a dick to any doctorate in chemistry. And yet, you pretend so vehemently that your insults cant possibly be rude, so surely its everyone else who is wrong.

Its pathetic, bud. As is the disengenuous well wishing. That kinda cements my point
