If you're like me and couldn't be arsed to make it up to Seattle this year but still dig you some gaming in general and PAX in particular, gamespot has a couple articles up covering the best cosplay and game related crap to buy there this year. As usual, there were way too many Deadpools.
Mind you, if you're looking for aggressive navels, you won't find them at PAX this year as they were banned. This didn't sit well with some on Twitter, thus the hashtag #PAXNavelPolicy was spawned by the wacky folks of #GamerGate for all your navel needs. Sic Semper Umbilicus.

You are not nearly as objective and detached as you claim. Otherwise why would you need to pimp these kinds of stories?
I have read up about your recent triumph against @srhbutts, and as suspected, it's a sordid story of doxxing and 8chan cretinism.
Your "mocking" of navels comes across like Rush Limbaugh trying to be funny. It's less about the humor and more about the ideology. The "jokes" are always accompanied by Very Serious Internet Furrowed Brow.

Outing a pedophile by their own public statements is doxxing now? Who knew? I thought it was what journalistic types call doing your research.
As for objectivity, I never claimed it. I believe what I believe and make no secret of it. This, however, was nothing but a joke and had no politics in it whatsoever. If you don't get or don't like the joke, groan and move on. Bringing your baggage over the mere mention of the word GamerGate isn't making you look all that well balanced, I gotta say.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
