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

losing their minds on the chans over this. never seen goalposts move so quickly

p surprised by that

Senior analyst Stephanie Llamas wrote in a follow-up blog post that the growing popularity of "casual platforms" has helped reinforce the false assumption that women are primarily casual gamers. But the reality, says Llamas, is that half of female PC gamers in the US consider themselves either "mid-core or hardcore gamers."

goes to the self-identifying as 'gamers' convo we had all the way upthread

The comments are a treat. On so-called "casual gamers" being called "gamers":

It does however devalue the term and there are people who identify with it. Would you like your neighbour identifying as your wife's second husband just because they shook hands? Would an archaeologist like it if people started calling them dogs because they both dig out bones?

they're so good at not thinking through the subtexts of analogies

also at not understanding how analogies work at all

there's also the guy who says women outnumber men in social gaming spaces 1:1.

it's like watching a slow motion collapse as these dudes continue to be confronted with evidence that challenges their narrative of primacy in a hobby they've been consistently out of touch with for years now. the gg crew represents, apparently, an ever smaller demo in an evolving and diversifying landscape. it is truly no wonder they've attracted attention from the social conservative wings, since ideologically they share nearly identical ideological anxieties

second ideology mention superfluous; much shame on my house

High hopes for this turning out a smart and civil discussion like the horror films why not thread, deep fears that it will descend into madness fyi

lol mid-core shut it down folks

so is it softcore, midcore and hardcore?

mid-core moderates

I'm a normcore gamer

These guys don't like the term mid-core gamer. They want it referred to as half-mast.

casual, casual-core, mobile, retro, mid-core, sonic fan art-core, adult man-baby-core, ethics in game journalism-core

I thought we were finally part of a post-core society.

loooool

someone tell Patton Oswalt.

Dipshit Knight is like a white knight for dipshits

probably would be less surprising re female gamers if female gamers could be visible in online MP games without being harassed for speaking or having a gamertag that identifies them as potentially female

true

oh you all laugh at gamergate now, but when the SJWs descend on ILM and your album with a sheep on it polls and compulsive listmaking excercises lie in ruins who will be laughing then

looks like anita sarkeesian is gonna be on colbert tonight

There's something a bit insufferable about the thought of Colbert making gamer jokes.

had to look up the council of 13

the name of the ruling body of numerous fictional villanous species:
Yeerks, from the children's book series Animorphs

That PCGamer link on stats of women in games is breaking my head with the comments. Do these people live on earth?

Nothing wrong with equal rights, the problem is equal rights advocates

oh you all laugh at gamergate now, but when the SJWs descend on ILM and your album with a sheep on it polls and compulsive listmaking excercises lie in ruins who will be laughing then

Is that really what the writing for Colbert is usually like? P bad.

You mean the scripted stuff before the interview?
