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

hate to bring it down in here but one of these guys seems to be in a legit bad place

eh, fuck him

reactionary hate masquerading as radical openness is nothing new

like think about the id Software guys like Carmack and Romero, that was late 80s/early 90s but tell me those guys wouldn't have bought into this "Suck it feminists" stuff? Duke Nukem? Leisure Suit Larry?

id didn't do those #idgate

Those were other examples not examples of Id games. Read Masters of Doom by David Kushner id was a total a hole macho nerd shithole

yeah were the massive boobs on those hell monsters really necessary

jk i don't doubt it

say what

Exactly.

those are definitely words

That's one of the guys interviewed by he Escapist (though they have since pulled it due to evidence of harassment, so...). He knows what he's talking about.

Also the guy in the legit bad place, above.

You're like the people who killed Soho. One cafe at a time.

there's some kind of rule that you can't go more than 1/2way thru any tweet thread before running into some element of the far far right

Hearing this to the tune of "One" by Three Dog Night

I went to quakecon, basically id software central, twice back in my fps-loving nerdo days (1995-2003ish rip). There was def a booth babe style thing going on and not a lot of outright misogyny I encountered because there were just so few women there. There was a prominent clan (that being the beginning days of gaming "clans") that was all-woman and playing on their gaming server was super fun but I think all the original members ditched out eventually.

also, the suburbs of Dallas are not good

lol i wanted to look into hatred and

I was sad when Awkward Zombie said that shit against GG. She's an actual rocket scientist, I thought those people were all about research and facts.

've actually blocked the domains of places that have come out as blatantly anti-GG on my router, including media. It's a great conversation piece at the LAN parties I have here.

are you on the enemies list UMS?

I guess the scan of my interview w anita a is circulating but it's print so it doesn't move as fast friend said they were pissed abt it on gg 4chan, lucky for me ppl tend to view us as monolithic entity not indiviudual personalities so my EiC is getting most of it, lots of I'm canceling my sub etc

I wondered if you'd get caught up in all this.

lol @ that mystery jack sparrow dbag

here's his magnum opus (tw: rape, arch-eyebrow cheeky smug horseshit)

This is correct. Ultimately it comes down to ideology. Human nature. These guys have pick a "side", in this case "the left", and will back that side no matter what, because they've picked it and identify with it. Gamergate's points don't matter, what matters is that it's (to them) "conservative", and therefore evil.

This is a story that has been repeated all throughout the centuries. The vast majority of humanity is tribal by nature and has no time for critical thought.

This is how extremists succeed, by the way. All extremists are cut from the same cloak of lacking personal talent, authoritarianism, and fear of dissent.
The only thing that changes are the colors they wear - extremists attach themselves to the popular politics of the moment.

We live in a time where the right discredited itself after 8 years of the Bush admin, so the current extremists brand themselves as leftist. But I can guarantee you that if this were 1939, with most democracies in shambles, they'd be fascists, and if this were 1955 they'd be communists.

has there ever been a case of someone on the internet accusing someone else of lacking 'critical thought/critical thinking' that wasnt just code for 'this person disagrees with me'?

glad you're mostly missing direct hate ums

guarantee you that if this were 1939, with most democracies in shambles, they'd be fascists, and if this were 1955 they'd be communists.

is the implicit argument here that patriarchy is in shambles bcz

if this were 1955, with capitalism in shambles,

cloak of lacking personal talent +1

Many people are victimized by modernity, it would seem

this shit is getting really depressing. the amount of disingenuous bollocks being spouted by dudes in position of relative privilege, pretending that they're persecuted. the extent to which these guys took sam biddle's joke seriously. and the sheer degree of whining that followed it... it's literally impossible to talk to these people.

.....and wow surprise the Hatred game devs are neo nazis whoda thunk it

Hatred grosses me out too, but it's such obvious and banal offensiveness. I feel like an idiot having any reaction to it, like there's no way to win when something's designed to cause offense.

lol forks

guys guys guys

it's the weird twitter illuminati behind it all

also i found a few more of that ^^ one dude's white nat web cartoons. if you like that kind of thing.

that is nuts

Anyway this insular group of a few dozen or so people quickly attracted a large following on Twitter by making genuinely amusing Tweets (which had mostly nothing to do with SJW shit), and among that following were many indie creators and related SJW types, mostly because those Tweets had SJW-friendly language (the most glaring examples of this language are infantile-sounding insults like "garbagemen" or "piss baby").

okay I don't think I can continue with this, I may die of lols

"piss baby": the language of social justice

how is pisbabby formed
