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

i've often wondered how self-styled alpha males get past the apparent paradox that whining about feminism is sorta *deeply un-masculine*

for "gamers" it almost seems as if they see themselves under assault on both sides of that continuum--in a way that strikes me as (and this is obvious) adolescent "mom and dad can't tell me what to do" stuff in the extreme. growing up is hard, etc.

4chan video games board banned all gg chat a while back but people keep bringing it up and getting legitimate (word used v lightly) threads locked down so now there appear to be a/multiple bot/bots (or just really bored humans) that spam threads with pro/anti gg stuff which often results in locks and the meta shitposting has started to spiral and every couple threads you'll see a desperate comment like "i just want to talk about video games pls all of you just go away" and it is all very lol

(honestly I started paying attention to Kluwe when it came out that he played WoW and was in a competitive raiding guild)

maybe we need to http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG things up whenever GamerGate gets mentioned here

chris kluwe WoW guild application!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(heavy tw: discussion of rape by possibly the msot clueless dipshit i've come across in this whole mess)

can u plz explainer whats goin on w @rainnwilson btw

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B0fwKsoCUAE5GLi.png

i thought he was hiring someone who copped a plea to assault to avoid a rape charge? maybe my reading comp is poor

ya that was my impression too but want more infos

i know goole knows

rainn wilson's new landscaper is kobe

lol all i know is from weird twitter shitting on him all day, i haven't read the court stenography or anything

skip bayless got a sitcom deal, idk

gdamn it

he is doing some vine tv show right, i assume it is related to that. america's funniest home vines.

lol he hired nash josh

weirded out by how oblivious these guys are to the fact that no sane human or institution that isn't already part of their thing is going take it seriously at at this point, they're just locked into this weird loop of repeating the same set of talking points to people who are never going to believe them

every time a new piece pops up from a media outlet basically saying "we are completely done with this shit, bye" you get the inevitable upvoted comments from recently created accounts being all "goodness, it seems there's really been a misunderstanding - let me reassure you that that is not what gamergate is about :)" and it's like five year olds trying to fool grown adults and thinking it might work

I guess ad guys for companies being twitchily risk-averse and pulling ads in response to e-mail spam would muddy the water a bit and make them feel like they have real power/moral force but surely sooner or later someone's gonna get the memo to the advertisiers that caving into hate campaigns from risible manbabies is a worse look for them

that izel guy dismissing several people explaining to him what "acquittal" means as a "SJW gambit" is...something

its the same story as bitcoin.. bitcoin cannot fail it can only be failed!

wish we could just go back to laughing at bitcoin ppl

rip

coin

afaik we can still laugh at Bitcoin people

#notallbitcoiners

lol @ that adam baldwin playing card joke upthread, i always love it when @MomsAgainstGam's followers stick around to steadfastly gaslight everyone who takes the bait:

NYC if you didn't know was taken over by skeleton hipsters in the past decade

what is all this skeleton bullshit about anyway

goddammit http://www.themarysue.com/make-your-computer-auto-convert-any-mention-of-sjw-to-skeleton-for-maximum-spoopiness/

A chrome extension that replaces every "sjw" mention with "skeleton"

I really hope they follow through with their plan to pre-emptively mock a hypothetical SNL sketch about Gamergate with their own sketch which will be incisive enough to shame SNL and the entire mainstream media.

arf! xp

also these hosers talking about SJWs sound just like rabid scienos barking about SPs or whatever, same blind herd mentality fueling and forming the hatred
