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

Gawker's coverage, he goes on to say:

...pure vitriol, resting on an unspoken, hard left view of culture that is more disturbing because it presents itself as snark and analysis, rather than tired, easy agit-prop. It’s a classic piece that asks all the cool kids today to smear and dismiss all the bullied of yesterday – and give them one last shove into the locker. Gawker’s Joel Johnson actually cites the piece thus:

Gawker Media has been covering the often-confounding phenomenon of Gamergate in detail, and will keep on covering it.

That piece was not so much “covering the phenomenon” as viciously skewing it. And yes, its tone smacked of bullying and dismissal. When you’re telling people they don’t even deserve to be in a debate, and associate them with segregationists and every other entity good liberals have been taught to despise, “dismissive” is the least of it.

Look: whatever case the gamergate peeps have, they have botched it with their tactics. Those tactics have been repellent in every sense of the word. But bullying has occurred on both sides, and only one side was bullied before.

what an awesome turn for the whole #gamergate movement

I like that these thin-skinned crybabies are all, "How sad that you get all upset about our jokes about Jews. Your lives must be so pathetic."

Why are so many feminists attacking Ray Rice? They wouldn't even know his name if he punched a man. I thought equal rights = equal fights?

Mary @SlushStuff · Sep 10

Not that I condone Ray's actions, just looking for a little consistency from the outrage club.

I can't stand the Washington http://images.chron.com/blogs/askacat/hatcat.JPG as a football team, but I'll defend their right to use their name until the day I die.

lmao

slushstuff is a pretty rabid antisemite based on google searching, even found her cited on st*rmfr*nt

Twitter users have tweeted at Quinn using the #GamerGate hashtag 10,400 times since September 1. Grayson has received 732 tweets with the same hashtag during the same period. If GamerGate is about ethics among journalists, why is the female developer receiving 14 times as many outraged tweets as the male journalist?

(Grayson, you may have forgotten, is the writer who didn't actually write anything about Depression Quest, on whom Zoe Quinn has been charged with using feminine wiles, &c.)

tried to explain this whole gg thing in brief to an irl friend today who had the perfect response... "so like why are videogame ethics more important than regular ethics???"
