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

stardock dude rather

yup

?

It's interesting to reread 'Backlash' by Faldui, as I did today. So much of this stuff has been there for a long time. There's a coincidentally appropriate quote from Margaret Mead in the book, that stood out for me "Maleness in America is not absolutely defined; it has to be kept and reearned every day, and one essential element in the definition is beating women in every game that both sexes play."

I kind of wanted to quote a part of it to people, but the significant paragraph became a significant page became a significant chapter.

it's funny I watched the old Swedish film I Am Curious (Yellow) the other night and in some parts the protagonist goes around interview (what appears to be) real ppl on the streets about social justice and stuff, and asks about women's equality with men and some a-hole dude says something like "well already it's happened, women are dominant in society now" or something and that was in 68

Yeah, there's a lot of "Well of course everyone likes equality but we're there now, surely?" which, that song is so old!

Max Read, finally outed for the CIS White Male he is

Ah man, I didn't know about Vox Day - might as well throw in the towel now.

such inclusive

3 cis white males and 1 cis white jock

pretty forward-thinking of #gamergate to recognise jock as a distinct gender

Ernst Rohm
Gay White Male

p sure max identifies as a fast hedgehog

CIS 'hog

god bless

lmao at the pic they used of slade villena

*salutes*
*eagle sheds single tear*
*american flag flutters*

I also really like that they specify "Native American POC" for Vox Day - don't be fooled by the photo!

If there's anything that makes social-justice types swoon and repent, it's invoking the American military.

#GamerGate: has served its country
Anti-#GamerGate: ?

love 2 military, love 2 justice

max looks like hes doing an "i dunno" shrug but its cropped out

privilege: check

check... mate

i'm so proud of max tbh
