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

finally decided the corner was for amateurs

here try this:

On the heels of the issuance of the Department of Justice’s Ferguson Report — one of the more frivolous and sophomoric “reports” ever produced by the federal government — President Obama asserts that the pervasive racial discrimination found in the Ferguson Police Department occurs in departments across the country. Now, maybe the Ferguson PD engages in systematic racial discrimination. Perhaps other departments also do. But nothing in this travesty of a report proves that, and the fact that the Department of Justice produced a report so buffoonish, so replete with conclusions unsupported by facts, so lacking in basic methodological rigor, is an embarrassment.

Dear Mr. Wright...

Am I really "sensationalizing" my material? If I am, I think it is in the same way in which your buildings are "sensationalized". Your buildings are not designed for sloppy, "homey" living, not for flopping around in bedroom slippers, but for standing straight and making each minute count. I felt, whenever I entered a building of yours, that one could never relax here--relax in the sense most people do all their lives, that is, feel small, mean, slothful and comfortably insignificant. I felt that here one had to be a hero and lead a heroic life. Most people live in a kind of disgusting everyday stupor, and they experience a higher sense of existence only on very rare occasions, if at all. In your buildings one would have to experience it all the time. I think that is the way you build. Well, that is the way I write.

I watched the whole washko interview with roosh piece and... dude. as he slowly gets comfortable speaking his mind, particularly in the second hour, it becomes a horror show.

Clay, Monday, 16 March 2015 20:47 (nine years ago) link

it's so bizarre cuz he's like partially aware? or he at least is capable of seeing that jeez man this semi-socialist system is actually way better than the US in a lot of respects....but then decides quality of life isn't worth it if it makes women too confident to fall for his bullshit

kurt kobaïan (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 16 March 2015 21:22 (nine years ago) link

the part where he goes on a tangent of how he sleeps with all these women but basically is lazy about it and tries to make sure they don't have an orgasm bc if they did they'd just want to sleep with him again really lost me

Like he is basically super obsessed with having terrible sex and embarrassing himself

Clay, Monday, 16 March 2015 21:26 (nine years ago) link

it is a very specific set of criteria he defines his success by, and in order to agree with him you have to buy into a very bizarre worldview

it is really something else

there's a part where he thinks her being wrong about something (how can you choose your gender but sexuality is inborn HMM?? -- his failure to understand things as anything other than binary is a defining trait of his thinking) and the sudden jump to condescending to her about LOGIC from then on is just so sad. it's all pretty much extremely sad.

Clay, Tuesday, 17 March 2015 00:02 (nine years ago) link

the cultural logic of a lot of PUA stuff (sometimes stated openly) is that a properly-ordered society -- that is, a patriarchal one where women were under control of fathers and husbands -- would prevent them from doing what they do. the ideological justification for serial lying and manipulation of women is that society is ruined and you can do whatever you want to enjoy yourself in the ruins. some dudes need a world-spanning story to buck themselves up for another night throwing out cheeseball lines and bumping into other dudes in the shoulder i guess.

but by that standard, yeah, the famous case of denmark looks like a good case of a properly-ordered society

Before I tell you what she said to destroy my boner, I must state that I never ask for a girl’s sexual history. Unless she’s a virgin, there is no answer she will give that increases my attraction for her, but this girl, for reasons unknown, started offering that history up to me unprompted, first by mentioning her long-time Italian boyfriend. My boner wasn’t disrupted by that, but then she said the following:

“I like trying new things. I fucked a lesbian before, and I also fucked a gay guy.”

Back in university I took a course on mammalian physiology, and there I learned a host of biological processes that can instantaneously change functions like heart rate and muscle response. To put your body in fight-or-flight response, for example, takes a cascade of incredibly complex enzymes and molecules that work through long pathways to achieve a physical response in less than a second. I mention this because blood seemed to shut off from my boner within that time. All attraction I had for this girl was vaporized into ash, without a single conscious thought on my part.

I’m more aware than I’d like to be about the gay lifestyle, the hyper promiscuity of which would make accomplished heterosexual players look like minor league rejects, so I couldn’t help imagine a man who regularly gets ass-fucked or who performs the assfucking having sex with a girl that I was about to have sex with. It was an unacceptable visual.

“Don’t worry, we used protection,” she said, noticing the disturbance in my face. But her words didn’t matter. There was no way I could have sex with a girl who sought empowerment by fucking a fag and then bragging about it to a guy she just met not even three hours before, a guy who in spite of his own risky sexual behavior, would not consciously enter an obvious high-risk situation when condom use and effectiveness is not 100%, especially with diseases like HPV, molluscum, and lice.
