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

we can be thankful that neither of those tweets seem to have gotten much traction, i guess

still, it's a crazy thing to follow some RW twitter argument and see one of those GG avis pop up

first comment is beautiful: links to an old biddle article about pando, as if he's in on the whole thing, doesn't notice that biddle thinks pando and its staff are "toxic"

Let's do this. Let's burn this industry to the ground.

But nowhere in the Pokémon canon exist the moments of maturity, complexity and artistic achievement that Digimon, at its best, has offered its fans. The investment required to wade through poor releases and boring anime and seek out moments of sublimity is the sort of journey only a true aficionado can appreciate, and it is that ravenous, determined and intellectually curious nature that marks out the Digimon fan. Digimon fans are the Wagnerians of video game and anime culture.

can't argue with that

I had some fun questioning some #gg dude on twitter a while ago who was trying to rally people to the cause of some vine comedian or smth who "SJWs" thought should not get a deal with a famous comedian due to rape allegations. It became pretty obvious that there was no real outcry, this guy was a gamergater by way of PUA garbage, and the guy he was defending had copped a plea to felony sexual misconduct.

he was trying to say that there was no point because uh the guy had been "acquitted" of rape. which, when you never go to trial and you plead guilty to felony sexual misconduct, obviously you are a cool dude worth defending.

why has the breitbart brand not stepped forward to offer us the SJW free video games journalism vertical that is our hearts desire

lag∞n, Thursday, 20 November 2014 19:11 (nine years ago) link

been wondering that this whole time

goole, Thursday, 20 November 2014 19:14 (nine years ago) link

Saddam had WMDs in the form of chemical weapons, and the 500 tons of yellowcake uranium shipped to Canada.
The "outed CIA agent" was the best unkept secret in DC, since everyone already knew that she worked for the CIA, and she had a reputation of using her job with the CIA to advance her social status. She wasn't a "covert agent" any more than Stan Smith is a covert CIA agent. She worked in a CIA office in the WMD program.
Comparing GG or UberGate to this is thoroughly disingenuous. Where the problem lies is in the wholly incestuous relationship between SJWs, Journalism Schools, Online "journalism", and "reporters" for these websites. J-Schools have refused to teach objectivity and ethics, and the newly-minted "journalists" are coming out brainwashed by the far-Left leaning J-School professors.

just now reading that reddit about uber and SJW's, so lol

We all know BuzzFeed's radical feminist leanings.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 20 November 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link

we all know how buzzfeed loves to buzz about feminism and feed us lies

I mean, when I think of places to seek out radical feminist updates, it's hard to name anything more on-point than This Lady’s Impressions Of Celebrities Stuck In Traffic Are Absolutely Perfect and Tacogiving: The Ultimate Thanksgiving Taco Adventure. And that's just in the last hour! My local SJW chapter would be lost without the BuzzFeed ticker we installed that prints this shit out, in color, live as it happens. Once we extract certain "promises" and "commitments" from our lesser sub-SJWits like the New York Times, we believe it will be possible to "kill the Batman." I probably shouldn't be telling you all this though.

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 20 November 2014 19:46 (nine years ago) link

do people actually call them "J-schools" or is that just old fashioned dog whistle racism

Nhex, Thursday, 20 November 2014 20:26 (nine years ago) link

no that's current usage

They'd just come out and say "Jew schools" if that's what they meant I think.

Don't forget there are Literal Nazis involved in GG!

i just want to say reading this whole thread has been amazing and making fun of gamergate as an outsider is fun but also very sad.

A friend today told me that her son, a 5th grader who has pretty much unfettered internet access, said to her, "did you know that feminists are doing lots of terrible things to people who play video games?"

Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 24 November 2014 03:41 (nine years ago) link

i wonder if it is negative that many young people's first exposure to feminism will be through social media rather than wherever it is i first learned about feminism.
