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

hardly the main point of criticism, but that guy doesn't know what "shibboleth" means

i'll just put this here, because the list of RTs/favs is half conservative creeps, half GG creeps (if the venn diagram isn't just a circle atp). i wasn't even looking for GG shit, but there those same names are, always...

at least it made me aware of this terrible Heisenberg bot that just goes into random conversations and tweets "I AM THE DANGER" or alternatively, "YO SOY EL PELIGRO"

this thing just keeps rolling along

the lawyer/pua dude debated chris kluwe on the internet. no way in hell i'm watching it, but my sense is kluwe won because the man himself said he lost on purpose. strategy. http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/2qri1j/kluwe_vs_cernovitch_is_live/cn90zsy

and i guess the disabled guy who run the 8c website just posted an article at a nazi website about how eugenics is good. but i'm not going to go look for that.

that's what's up right now with this movement.

goole, Tuesday, 30 December 2014 20:30 (nine years ago) link

I think a pro-eugenics disabled dude sums up GamerGate better than any explanation I could possibly come up with.

the farakhan of gg (DJP), Wednesday, 31 December 2014 01:08 (nine years ago) link

So, this happened:

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/01/prank_call_sends_several_polic.html

About 5 miles S/SW of where I live in Portland. 8chan sent cops to a woman's address to strike back at her.

But guess what:

http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2015/01/gamergate_woman_says_online_ha.htm

turns out the woman was a transgender former participant in gamergate who turned when Milo Y started posting on how much t/g squicked him out, too. She had moved to California and 8channers used her old Oregon address.

i mean the long and short of this is, untreated mental illness. but thusly, the irony of this turd accusing anita sarkeesian of being "a nutcase" when he seems a dangerous amount off his meds...

Wu-Tang Clannad (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 6 January 2015 16:01 (nine years ago) link

Yeah, I'm thinking untreated mental illness. This is paranoid even by Gamergate standards: "Keep in mind I am a male indie game developer, she would have me kicked out of the industry if she could because I am male, but also thrown away in a prison, all because I am not pushing her idealism or supporting her."

When I searched game informer's website for "sarseekian", I got no results. Did they take it down? Or was it only in the print edition?
