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

Raj leaned close to the dancer and explained that 8chan is a place for people to share images online.

"8chan is a place for people to share images online"

Raj
leaned
close
to
the
dancer
and
explained
that
8chan
is
a
place
for
people
to
share
images
online.

so much depends on a place for people to share images online

Raj leaned close to the dancer and explained that, actually

that's not even the funniest line in that story!

Hmm, is it this one?

"I’m not as aroused as I expected. I pretty much had a woman shove a vagina in my face and it did nothing,” he said.

It may not be the funniest but it is the most perfectly expressed

“We’re talking about gamers, who spend 15 hours a day chasing a gold coin,” he said. “As long as they don’t have to do any lifting, gamers aren’t going anywhere. If the U.S. government could channel the energy and tenacity of the gamers, they could win any war.”

A dancer in a pink bodice and lace panties made her way over the LED-bedazzled floor carrying a cake, pierced by a single lit sparkler, which read “Happy 1st Birthday 8chan!” She placed the cake on a table in front of Frederick “Hotwheels” Brennan, prompting Dieter and a circle of other onlookers to begin shout-singing “Happy Birthday” over the club’s pounding techno soundtrack. Another dancer watched the celebration in amazement. “He’s only one year old?” she exclaimed, pointing to Brennan.

i wouldn't have bought it from sorkin, but there it is

exactly

“Naturally, accusations of misogyny are thrown around, but as evidenced by the presence of women, of which there are a few, it is a diverse group.” Hans paused, then winked. “By the way, table dances are $10 and lap dances are $75, if you’re interested. May I recommend Ms. Rain?”

ok sry in advance

*s

for combination of nauseating and laugh-inducing i so far nominate this...

[...]it’s up to your dick. Your dick choses.”

not sure if this is a typo or how dieter talks but i choose to believe the latter

@AdrianChen (I asked them to say "Ethics in games journalism!" when I took that photo.)

A large man in his 40s with a beard and a ponytail mingled self-consciously with the 8channers, some of whom were less than half his age. He’d blended in well enough in the darkness of the strip club, but now stood out in the tiny apartment like a chaperone at a school dance. His name was Mo, and he was a programmer from New York. Mo was drawn to Gamergate and 8chan by a nostalgia for the time he spent trolling the first message boards during the early days of the internet

“Gamergate is the most fascinating flame war I’ve ever seen,” he said.

Look at how inclusive GG is. In that picture alone we've got at least two women, a disabled person, a neckbeard, a "PoC" and an Asian.

I don't understand the point of this article. Is it to shame gamergaters for going to strip club?

Yes. It's a sex-negative feminist complaining about a bunch of people legally and consensually enjoying sexuality.

Dieter believed it was an uncontrollable force of nature. He posited that it was only natural for a man to find women of one race more attractive than another. “It’s not racist,” he said. “I think evolutionary psychology plays into what you find attractive. It’s not up to you; it’s up to your dick. Your dick choses.”

oh wait this isn't the Shia LaBeef thread

oh man there's a link in that thread i wanna follow so bad but not on my werk computer (feel leery enough about "kotakuinaction" as it is). everydaywhorephobia dot wordpress will have to wait (tho it could be a pro sex work blog? idk)

a bunch of people are learning a bunch of new words and concepts they will spend the rest of their lives misunderstanding, I'll give gamergate that much. xp

hey man your dick chooses, it's up to your dick

Yes. It's a sex-negative feminist complaining about a bunch of people legally and consensually enjoying sexuality.

With a few exceptions, the 8channers steadfastly ignored the naked women jiggling and spinning a few feet away. By the end of the night, the dancers had largely given up on the prospect of enticing them with a lap dance, simply bypassing them on their rounds. Two guys’ laps were preoccupied anyway with the laptops they had brought into the club, which apparently had free Wi-Fi. After an hour or so, one 8channer snuck out to nap in the backseat of the Mercedes.

just ask yr dick

yeah they think that this article is about adrian chen being against strip clubs or something
