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

GO CRIMSON

really interesting to me that these internet new-old-right types have resurrected the english civil war as the key political hinge still operating in the present: themselves as the royalists/cavaliers (carefree, traditional, honorable, and doomed) and their enemy, the whole international liberal order, as puritan/roundhead (grim, fanatical, genocidal, both heretical and obsessed with heresy). they don't really mean it metaphorically either.

xp lol perfect punchline

shout out to the cartoon nazi hunk in grey bathrobe, still dunno what's up with that

no joke i assume these guys have some strong opinions on circumcision too

now that i had not considered...

the venn diagram has overlaps with so many other annoying internet scenes (some way more than others of course): paleo, crossfit, bitcoin, "manliness," "makers." i never figured video games would be one of them.

REACTOPUNKS

liked their first album, etc etc

Publisher’s Statement Regarding Mike Cernovich’s Twitter Conduct
OCTOBER 20, 2014 BY DANGER & PLAY 41 COMMENTS

Mike Cernovich of Danger & Play Publishing has posted many things on Twitter. Some of his Tweets are out of line. Some make sense in context. Whatever the case, Mike Cernovich owns his past and accepts personal responsibility for his Tweets.

Mr. Cernovich is not going to explain all of his Tweets. If you think something he wrote was wrong, you have that right. Unlike the SJWs, Mr. Cernovich does not believe in thoughtcrime. You have the right to hate him or love him or even ignore him.

Mr. Cernovich behaved no differently from Gawker and the Social Justice Warriors attacking him. We expect higher standards from Mr. Cernovich.

chance he wrote that himself expressed as a percentage 100%

welp

like first 10 responses tbh

Baldwin was born in Winnetka, Illinois and studied at New Trier Township High School East in Winnetka.[4] He has three children with his wife, Ami.[5] He has no relation to the Baldwin brothers.

Politically, he has been a registered Democrat since 1980,[6] but states that he re-examined his views after being given a copy of David Horowitz's book Radical Son.[7] He now considers himself a "small government conservative libertarian",[8] and has contributed to The Huffington Post[9] and Big Hollywood.[10]

the fact he was into Horovitz is pretty much the icing on the cake

I had always just assumed that he was a brother. He looks like he could fit into that crew.

the handle gives it away, @momsagainstgam
What'd all them gams do to you? Why I oughta...

yo max, is it true you and Biddle are into fedoras? https://twitter.com/Bhillyfitch/status/524333718496743424

Twitter death threats have consequences! http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/20/7024585/gabe-newell-death-threat-paranautical-activity-steam-valve (Not actually GG related)

"This being a project I spent years of my life on, I was very frustrated by this mistake [Valve] made, so I tweeted a series of tweets calling them incompetent that eventually ended in me saying 'I swear I'm gonna fucking kill gabe' or something," Maulbeck said in an email to Polygon. "A statement I obviously didn't mean, but nonetheless was totally unacceptable and driven entirely by the heat of frustration I was feeling at the time."

Maulbeck let loose a series of vitriolic tweets, calling Valve "incompetent" and expressing anger at Steam's "awful fucking monopoly." Maulbeck then allegedly said in a since-deleted tweet, "I am going to kill gabe newell [sic]. He is going to die."

lol this impotent rage is extremely good stuff

what a maroon

lol @ cernovich crying death threat after some rando called him a dude-bro that should be "put down"

Speaking of white supremacists/Lost Causes, the Calavier/Roundhead charge got tossed around a bunch during the American Civil War by Confederate politicos, who tried to connect their war as the continuation as the fight against Norman invaders.

Paranautical Activity is available through other digital distribution means, like Desura and the Humble Store, but Maulbeck lamented that the game sold 12 copies on non-Steam platforms today.

Lmao

their absolute inability to read Sam Biddle's bullying comments as anything other than bullying - either they lack any sense of normal human interaction, or they're taking this as a threat in very very bad faith

I think in the big picture joking about bullying on twitter, especially to these rubes who have no sense of context or irony, was a bad move, in retrospect

but holy shit are these people happy to take anything that they can conform to their narrative and hammer on it

xp

it was an unfortunate tweet tho' - obvious joke that hit a nerve (ie past or present experience) with a chunk of the sincere useful-idiot crowd & the cynics are exploiting it – they seem to be obsessively reframing a lot of this as bullying by SJWs now.

they were shooting at the boss and nothing was happening then the boss opened his biddle-eye and the eye pulsed red so they shot him in the biddle-eye and now mercedes benzes are crashing into gawker

Can I tell Mercedes that I will never buy their cars if they withdraw advertising from Gawker? Does the bullying work in that direction too?
