those gone home dev lists are cool! but none of them list the FPS games that are huge on multiplayer wherein kill ratios and the like the dominate. & I think GG discussion centers on keeping *those games* at the center of gaming discourse. like far cry 2 is a shooter but the weakness of your character is a long way from the hyper masculine nonsense of COD etc

i hope all video games become as boring as depression quest so gamers are forced to find something else to do

most of these guys probably hate COD for being too "mainstream" and not for "real gamers"
i think you're kind of projecting your own dislike of competitive FPS onto these guys
like bayonetta 2 is def the cause de jour right now since polygon panned it for sexism
but JPRG fans, wooof, man they will write the most vile shit to women believe me!
#GG ppl, at least the root ppl are way too "real gamer" to be huge battlefiend and CoD fans

cld def see bad publicity resulting in some of the more grotesque violent/misogynistic aspects of games being curbed, like a company might think twice before releasing a game where you can patronize a prostitute then steal the money back and kill her if other games received media blowback for similar things, and that would exactly represent an impingement on gamergates vision of artistic freedom

i'm wondering this – what happened with the death threats? this lot doesn't strike me as being smart enough to cover their tracks.

Presumably those targeted are not saying much under the advice of counsel/law enforcement. Online death threats are a good way to get the FBI knocking at your door though.

i honestly think a lot of this is going to melt away as soon as the first gg warrior is dragged out of his basement and into police custody. i am assuming that most of the guys who would threaten anti-gg voices are actually just cowards hiding behind their veil of anonymity and are not actually capable of the violence they claim. that's just conjecture though and i sincerely hope law enforcement is taking all such threats seriously

i think this might shrink it but would intensify it, which is worse.

Blogger with a history writing about Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire suddenly takes on an "edgy" hit piece promoting anti-male narrativesLow-hanging tech writer makes a sudden switch into an anti-male narrativeGeneral tech writer wtih no serious history of anti-male hatred, but is happily towing the line todayOpportunist who wants the world to have more females in tech, but can't seem to hire one for his top editor staff.

one of my favorite things about them is their casual planning of unrealistic retribution, theres one upthread where they scheme to crash gawkers stock price (not a public company btw) asking if anyone knows someone on wall street who can make it happen, like they assign to themselves incredible powers of conspiracy too
