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

class struggle never so powerfully felt then at the counter of gamestop where a teenager buys a game with money from his mom

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 2 October 2014 20:38 (nine years ago) link

its ok hoos a lot of people sort of freak out when they first hear abt the illuminati but in the long run youll find its better to have the knowledge than be an unthinking sleeping sheeple

it's fun watching these teenage idiots slowly learning about real life - first Bitcoin now this

this doesn't look like learning to me. scaring intel off advertising at an ENEMY website is a notable success for them.

Is the dude in that SJW layer supposed to be Nathan Grayson? Phil Fish might make more sense, but it doesn't look like him (but then it doesn't much look like Nathan Grayson)

that and some of the ideas in play are pretty far beyond standard issue conservatism, but i guess all that reddity red pill and 4chan shit is fascist too eh

Yeah seeing how quickly people go from "There is corruption in the games / games journalist industry" to "Because an invisible army of SJWs are wielding massive influence thanks to their magic vaginas" is kind of dizzying.

But in general I think there's a lot of "I will examine what I opposes me and not what agrees with me" - there's still a quorum that think that the GameJournPro mailing list is clear evidence of collusion (and Jesus there's nothing worse than a bunch of nerds that have just found a new word) despite, well, the actual contents of the list.

The problem is it's ridiculously fucking easy to become a judge in a lot of places in the US.

clearly, this is the problem

omg do not read that page, i mean seriously any given comment anywhere on it will inspire white hot rage. fuck these people, fuck all of them, fuck this incredibly distorted and hateful and self-congratulatory little bubble they are so enthusiastically constructing for themselves at every turn

i had dinner with leigh alexander once and, unprovoked, she went on a long spiel about how important sierra adventure games were to her worldview. anybody who thinks she's not a hardcore game nerd has never met her.

also re the account of the court hearing

My memory is mediocre, so take my version of events with a grain of salt.

your memory is not why I'm taking your version of events w/a grain of salt.

I may start using #gamergate to complain about minor irritating things wholly unrelated to gaming

💪😈⚠️ (DJP), Friday, 3 October 2014 15:16 (nine years ago) link

should i ask #gamergate about tipping

goole, Friday, 3 October 2014 16:04 (nine years ago) link

that would be the best thing ever.

💪😈⚠️ (DJP), Friday, 3 October 2014 16:09 (nine years ago) link

Thinking about this (which I really should stop doing), it seems like there's two opposite things happening:

On the one hand, there's gaters projecting onto the other side: Zoe is laughing in public about TFYC, and then their site went down, so clearly she DDOSed them because that's what we'd do - a lot of "They say they're the good ones!" about this.

And on the other hand the standard conspiracy refusal to consider that people are ever acting in any way other than going about their Serious Business - so a mailing list for journalists to talk shit must be the Stonecutters, jokes on it must be serious. It's opposite because it's assuming that the other side don't just spend most of their time dicking around on the internet, like EG the entirety of 4chan. It's gamers failing to understand play.

Andrew Farrell, Friday, 3 October 2014 17:21 (nine years ago) link

think it's mostly just not very bright people who are frightened and resentful of women tbh
