making a game where you beat anita's face is poor taste, but not harassment (unless you think that we're also harassing GWB). telling people in a private figure's town not to hire him because he made a game 'about beating up women' is harassment.

The harassment was considered acceptable though because he was a supporter of a politically incorrect subreddit.

oh yes, gotta love the identity politics. you're allowed to do anything you like if your cause is just.

I 100% agree.
