fuck helpful in the context of this thing, i mean. im down for total abject shaming of the entirety of these gamergate dicks all day every day.

they won't be shamed
also there are some pretty clear advantage for the people who are *actually* being threatened by this stuff to not having this stuff stirred up

like in this case it feels like chris being like "hey pay attention to me guys!!!"
Cluwe being a visible professional athlete - ostensibly these super macho guys who normally might be assumed to tow the line with reactionary conservatism - taking a stance is a good thing
― Nhex, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:51 (nine years ago) link
visible ex-professional athlete i guess

yup yupyou're next, Chris Bosh!
― Nhex, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:53 (nine years ago) link
OTOH his profile is such that no one who knows who he is is going to be surprised by his stance here so I understand how this reads as empty posturing
― 💪😈⚠️ (DJP), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:53 (nine years ago) link
Kluwe really wasn't even known nationally (he's an NFL kicker which is about as un-macho a position as you can possibly have and still be considered a "professional athlete") until he crusaded for gay rights for about a year so he's p much widely seen as more of an internet SJW than a macho football player
― u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:55 (nine years ago) link
and like i said i like chris a lot and he did a ton of good and raised a ton of money here in minnesota to help successfully overturn the ban on gay marriage
ah, fair enough. i really have no idea who he was
― Nhex, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:56 (nine years ago) link
always these conversations devolve into optics, strategizing *j/o motion*
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:57 (nine years ago) link
tbf punter (which is what he was) is slightly more macho than kicker
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:58 (nine years ago) link
sounds to me like he's an NFL analogue to Mick Foley
― Nhex, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:59 (nine years ago) link
doh punter lol and actually it might be less
― u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 18:59 (nine years ago) link
I find him really obnoxious and unhelpful, overall. Also he is delusional about how good a punter he was.
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 19:02 (nine years ago) link
punter is the ultimate nfl nobody

should we be talking about Sportsball in the Gamer place
― polyphonic, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 19:13 (nine years ago) link
i keep waiting for advanced analytics types to start rallying around punters as incredibly important and worthy of left-tackle type money but i havent seen it yet.
― ryan, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 19:13 (nine years ago) link
on a per play basis you could make a case but too few plays overall

i've often wondered how self-styled alpha males get past the apparent paradox that whining about feminism is sorta *deeply un-masculine*
for "gamers" it almost seems as if they see themselves under assault on both sides of that continuum--in a way that strikes me as (and this is obvious) adolescent "mom and dad can't tell me what to do" stuff in the extreme. growing up is hard, etc.

4chan video games board banned all gg chat a while back but people keep bringing it up and getting legitimate (word used v lightly) threads locked down so now there appear to be a/multiple bot/bots (or just really bored humans) that spam threads with pro/anti gg stuff which often results in locks and the meta shitposting has started to spiral and every couple threads you'll see a desperate comment like "i just want to talk about video games pls all of you just go away" and it is all very lol

(honestly I started paying attention to Kluwe when it came out that he played WoW and was in a competitive raiding guild)
