Why is casual racism/sexism more accepted in video games than other forms of media (these days)?

learning about matt forney vs learning about wizardchan as the most vomitous fallout of all this

Clay, Monday, 27 October 2014 18:51 (nine years ago) link

like obv there has been way worse stuff but I expect that terrible stuff. I somehow don't expect matt forney.

Clay, Monday, 27 October 2014 18:53 (nine years ago) link

feel like matt forney is funnier because of his sorry ass self promoting media wannabe moves where wizardchan is just depressing and deeply strange

lag∞n, Monday, 27 October 2014 18:54 (nine years ago) link

I do v much appreciate his avatar for sure

Clay, Monday, 27 October 2014 18:56 (nine years ago) link

What is Matt Forney

, Monday, 27 October 2014 18:56 (nine years ago) link

If he's comparable to Wizardchan then I don't want to know. One Wizardchan was enough.

He is a PUA blogger who writes blogs about how to beat up women et al and has attached himself to gg presumably to gain Twitter followers and sell his books or ethics or whatever xxp

He's just too real, so norm for the PUA crowd, it freaks me out. Usually these guys are wearin capes and adding z's and v's to their names.

this is just an incredible perfect storm for so many different groups that are loathsome. gamer misogynists, twitter bigots, breitbart-affiliated dbags, right wing hollywood cretins, PUA bloggers, caveman diet practitioners, etc.

I've thought for a while that there is a strong connection between MRA/PUA ideas about women and taking porno a little too literally.

What's the opposite of overlap? Because I kind of wonder how much overlap there ISN'T between these groups

I was havin a drink with a lady last night and outta nowhere the v odd guy on the stool next to me, who had been trying to engage us in conversation a little creepily for awhile, announced in my general direction that all the women in the joint were "hookers" and weren't with him because he "wasn't willing to pay for it." I immediately thought of all this shit. Like oh right, those dudes but irl, cool.

The guy was 86'd shortly thereafter, and I'm certain the bartender works for gawker.

Clay, Monday, 27 October 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link

It happens man! That's prob why I was thinking that matt forney guy freaked me out some, like this shit is all too actually out there and not a joke on the Internet and I prob forget that too often xp

i have a friend who is pals with an aspiring "comedian", and last time i saw this friend the comedian was out with us and he has one of those raspy morning shock jock douche voices, like that danny bonaduce thing. anyway he sure had some thoughts on how there were a lot of lesbians out there diluting the dating pool for us. i kinda thought that school of thought was limited to '80s sitcom assholes who were failing with the ladies, never realized it was an IRL thing that much.
