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

these guys just can't stop with the civil rights comparisons

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

he seems confused over 'clash' too

free speech, truth, sacrifice, etc

Actually, it's about a lack of standards in publicly funded education.

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...

massive trigger warning

i look at a lot of trash daily but i haven't wanted to see a man injured in a looong time...

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"

what a garbage excuse for a human being

Seems to have crept over into the world of heavy metal now.

we're this much closer to ILM as the new journolist let's start pushing #Raggettgate

don't even

i guess jimmy wales just told these guys to eat a dick

not in so many words

#Raggettgate

I cannot imagine a more diametrically opposed hashtag!

Let's make it happen!

"It's about ethics in music journalism #Raggettgate"

ethics in tie colours iirc

heh.

Lol

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.

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

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.

Hadn't seen this, love it

pretty promising youtube still, there

"mr matt huger... hugerlonson, what are u?"

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...

i love this so much

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?

print and digital edition

Er also that's not her name, but maybe you know that.

anita soulseekian

No. ☃

Oh, holy crap. Whoops!

he is as good a commenter as speaker if u were wondering

Their site is irrellevent as I am talking about their magazine articles kid, and their website has more contributors that they take less care into what is and what isn't published as appose to the magazine where they limit the content down to defending her only and pushing her censor ship on to the consumers.

that is too good to be true

the sounds. the sounds.

In October, though, Intel unwittingly became a villain in a controversy over the treatment of women in gaming, which has come to be known as GamerGate. A loose-knit brigade of Internet users lobbied the company to pull an advertising campaign on the game website Gamasutra because it had run an essay attacking the male dominance of games culture.

Intel, which was caught off guard by the ensuing controversy over its actions, eventually resumed advertising on the site. Mr. Krzanich said he used the incident as an opportunity to think more deeply about the broader issue of diversity in the tech industry. The issue resonated with him personally.

“I have two daughters of my own coming up on college age,” he said. “I want them to have a world that’s got equal opportunity for them.”

As part of its new investment fund, Intel plans to establish and support a professional women’s gaming team. It has partnered with the International Game Developers Association, a nonprofit that will send 20 female college students to a game developer conference with Intel’s support. The association wants to double the number of women working in the games industry over the next decade, according to Kate Edwards, its executive director.

Intel has budgeted $300m to increase diversity in the tech sector, at least partially in response to gg. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/07/technology/intel-budgets-300-million-for-diversity.html?_r=0

Intel plans to engage with several partners in the industry to support, enhance or create new programs for this initiative, including the International Game Developers Association*, the E-Sports League*, the National Center for Women in Technology*, the CyberSmile Foundation*, the Feminist Frequency*

lol
