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

i never would want to get into that twitter cesspool, but i guess i applaud Chu and those others willing to fight the hordes, fighting normalization of that bullshit

I feel bad, but I stopped following Arthur Chu b/c I couldn't deal with all of it.

I found a way to, as they would put it, "Kill the Batman".

definitely faded out of the general consciousness/media in the last week

though these guys will never give it up, i feel like a violent act will result, they just gonna continue to spin wackier and wackier theories and go down their own weird rabbit hole :/

Is there anyone who is pro-GG who isn't super dumb or disturbed?

Nhex, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 03:17 (nine years ago) link

well compared to the chan boards and the chaos of Twitter at least it's somewhat civil.

might not be thinking through the implications but I would totally donate to a kickstarter that doles out cash rewards for tips leading to the arrest of people who make internet death threats

Operation Light Up (AKA take the fight to Tumblr) is... kind of interesting, but the line "Twitter's 140 character limit means that it's totally unfit for discussion or refuting enemy arguments. It's a toy and distraction while the real conversation should be happening elsewhere, like the comments on news articles and youtube videos" is a vision into a screaming abyss.

did a Twitter search for "nick denton" earlier, im dead now

my sources tell me that is Denton's real facebook post

mh, Wednesday, 5 November 2014 15:19 (nine years ago) link

It does sound like him, I've heard him use that "Kill the Batman" metaphor before. He's big on superhero movie references, an odd quirk for someone so anti-gamer.

Does he sign his posts like a freaking email?

I've said this before, I am burned out by my job of 7 years due to the overstress of having to side-step my entire life and problems always for patients to come first and this is the same for GamerGate.

WAT
