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

also the skulls I mean

He is a PUA blogger who writes blogs about how to beat up women et al and has attached himself to gg presumably to gain Twitter followers and sell his books or ethics or whatever xxp

He's just too real, so norm for the PUA crowd, it freaks me out. Usually these guys are wearin capes and adding z's and v's to their names.

Like... they're out there, u kno? xp

best part of that video is when the dude is complaining about typical female behavior and hes all "going to gangbangs every weekend"

like ur getting all ur infos from pornography and youre mad at the pornography? just stop watching it maybe or switch to the ones where theyre on a sumptuous bed in a white room just 1 on 1 idk

this is just an incredible perfect storm for so many different groups that are loathsome. gamer misogynists, twitter bigots, breitbart-affiliated dbags, right wing hollywood cretins, PUA bloggers, caveman diet practitioners, etc.

So many beards and hats and sunglasses and fedoras

don't forget dawkins fans

Is there any credible estimate for how many of them there are?

prob like 130-150

xxp also wizardchan enthusiasts

I've thought for a while that there is a strong connection between MRA/PUA ideas about women and taking porno a little too literally.

What's the opposite of overlap? Because I kind of wonder how much overlap there ISN'T between these groups

almost like they have a lack of experience interacting with irl women

hmmmmmm

I was havin a drink with a lady last night and outta nowhere the v odd guy on the stool next to me, who had been trying to engage us in conversation a little creepily for awhile, announced in my general direction that all the women in the joint were "hookers" and weren't with him because he "wasn't willing to pay for it." I immediately thought of all this shit. Like oh right, those dudes but irl, cool.

The guy was 86'd shortly thereafter, and I'm certain the bartender works for gawker.

you were having a drink with m'lady?

No with a'lady

Bar patrons were definitely part of Soros AstroTurf op

Holy shit Clay

It happens man! That's prob why I was thinking that matt forney guy freaked me out some, like this shit is all too actually out there and not a joke on the Internet and I prob forget that too often xp

i have a friend who is pals with an aspiring "comedian", and last time i saw this friend the comedian was out with us and he has one of those raspy morning shock jock douche voices, like that danny bonaduce thing. anyway he sure had some thoughts on how there were a lot of lesbians out there diluting the dating pool for us. i kinda thought that school of thought was limited to '80s sitcom assholes who were failing with the ladies, never realized it was an IRL thing that much.

romance is hard man, lot of bitter bros out there dont know which way is up

so much depends on a place for people to share images online

Raj leaned close to the dancer and explained that, actually

that's not even the funniest line in that story!

Hmm, is it this one?

"I’m not as aroused as I expected. I pretty much had a woman shove a vagina in my face and it did nothing,” he said.

It may not be the funniest but it is the most perfectly expressed

“We’re talking about gamers, who spend 15 hours a day chasing a gold coin,” he said. “As long as they don’t have to do any lifting, gamers aren’t going anywhere. If the U.S. government could channel the energy and tenacity of the gamers, they could win any war.”

A dancer in a pink bodice and lace panties made her way over the LED-bedazzled floor carrying a cake, pierced by a single lit sparkler, which read “Happy 1st Birthday 8chan!” She placed the cake on a table in front of Frederick “Hotwheels” Brennan, prompting Dieter and a circle of other onlookers to begin shout-singing “Happy Birthday” over the club’s pounding techno soundtrack. Another dancer watched the celebration in amazement. “He’s only one year old?” she exclaimed, pointing to Brennan.

i wouldn't have bought it from sorkin, but there it is

exactly

“Naturally, accusations of misogyny are thrown around, but as evidenced by the presence of women, of which there are a few, it is a diverse group.” Hans paused, then winked. “By the way, table dances are $10 and lap dances are $75, if you’re interested. May I recommend Ms. Rain?”

ok sry in advance

for combination of nauseating and laugh-inducing i so far nominate this...

[...]it’s up to your dick. Your dick choses.”

not sure if this is a typo or how dieter talks but i choose to believe the latter

@AdrianChen (I asked them to say "Ethics in games journalism!" when I took that photo.)

A large man in his 40s with a beard and a ponytail mingled self-consciously with the 8channers, some of whom were less than half his age. He’d blended in well enough in the darkness of the strip club, but now stood out in the tiny apartment like a chaperone at a school dance. His name was Mo, and he was a programmer from New York. Mo was drawn to Gamergate and 8chan by a nostalgia for the time he spent trolling the first message boards during the early days of the internet

“Gamergate is the most fascinating flame war I’ve ever seen,” he said.
