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

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.

Raj leaned close to the dancer and explained that 8chan is a place for people to share images online.

Look at how inclusive GG is. In that picture alone we've got at least two women, a disabled person, a neckbeard, a "PoC" and an Asian.

I don't understand the point of this article. Is it to shame gamergaters for going to strip club?

Yes. It's a sex-negative feminist complaining about a bunch of people legally and consensually enjoying sexuality.

Dieter believed it was an uncontrollable force of nature. He posited that it was only natural for a man to find women of one race more attractive than another. “It’s not racist,” he said. “I think evolutionary psychology plays into what you find attractive. It’s not up to you; it’s up to your dick. Your dick choses.”

oh wait this isn't the Shia LaBeef thread

oh man there's a link in that thread i wanna follow so bad but not on my werk computer (feel leery enough about "kotakuinaction" as it is). everydaywhorephobia dot wordpress will have to wait (tho it could be a pro sex work blog? idk)

a bunch of people are learning a bunch of new words and concepts they will spend the rest of their lives misunderstanding, I'll give gamergate that much. xp

hey man your dick chooses, it's up to your dick

Yes. It's a sex-negative feminist complaining about a bunch of people legally and consensually enjoying sexuality.

With a few exceptions, the 8channers steadfastly ignored the naked women jiggling and spinning a few feet away. By the end of the night, the dancers had largely given up on the prospect of enticing them with a lap dance, simply bypassing them on their rounds. Two guys’ laps were preoccupied anyway with the laptops they had brought into the club, which apparently had free Wi-Fi. After an hour or so, one 8channer snuck out to nap in the backseat of the Mercedes.

just ask yr dick

yeah they think that this article is about adrian chen being against strip clubs or something

Tyler Durden: Man, I see in #GamerGate the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives. We've all been raised on video games to believe that one day we'd all be space marines, and Greek gods, and Guitar Heroes. But we won't. And we're slowly learning that fact. It's about ethics in video game journalism. And we're very, very pissed off.

video games are in the pulp fiction briefcase

Maybe the end of Martyrs would be a good one, but I don't know how many people would get that.

can't wait for these nerds to learn about promo merch

“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.”

Had this song stuck in my head ever since gamergate started and just figured out what it was

relationships across cultural lines can be so hard:

http://archive.today/0rCQt

Now, there's one thing I need you guys to understand. Love is a powerful, and sometimes horrifying thing. Nobody who's in love wants to be told to break up with the person they love. And I really do love her. I know that she's a good person, just like she knows I'm a good person even though to her it seems I'm supporting a misogynist campaign.
As such, I'd rather not be told to break up with her. I want to fight for this relationship, and I think that in order to do this I'll have to regain her respect for me as someone who can and will assert his opinions without discarding hers, and to make her concede that my points are valid, too.

To this end, an important thing I noted is that she said that at this point she supports "whoever doesn't harm and doxx people". It should go without saying where I want to take this.

If you want to help someone out, even if I'm being a total wuss, it'd be nice if people could post some definite proof of anti-GG being dicks/GG being supportive of women and the actual cause of GG. I think many people in this thread could gain from having some material for presentation.

It feels really stupid, but this entire situation with GG and SJW fuckery in general has actually sent me into something like a depression. I haven't felt this powerless and guilty ever since I stopped taking roaccutane.
