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

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'?

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.

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.

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

im struggling with the reality that a sampling [which approaches statistical significance] of voices from reddit, 4chan, and apparently fyad, is being acknowledged by this many people in the world. basically how did it get this far is what i want to know so we can avoid ever returning to this dark place again

lag∞n, Friday, 17 October 2014 15:34 (nine years ago) link

doesn't every added data point bring a data set closer to statistical significance? isn't every data set 'approaching statistical significance'?

anyway, people who talk like that are usually bad at math and science ime. the people who are really great at math and science bring a sleeve of saltines and a jar of peanut butter to class, and they eat that shit up right in front of you without saying a word.

Q: ∞chan is a unique imageboard that allows users to create their own boards. What are some of the more interesting boards that have been created?

A: I think that the most interesting boards created so far are /fringe/, a board for modern day magicians, /ebola/, a board where all the users worship a cartoon that represents the ebola virus in West Africa and /secretrule/, a board where ownership is transfered to people who guess the secret rule of the board using other posts to determine what the rule is.
