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

It is a sarcastic article about a real thing that is happening

it's not THAT different from the actual pro-GG articles that are out there

oh come on it's laid on so thick

If "bathrobe couture pioneer Jordan Owen" isn't a dead giveaway then I dont something.

All that’s left to do is “the editing, the animations, and possibly a bit of fact-checking” - which any filmmaker knows are minor and even unimportant elements of the documentary process.

ok i admit i probably stopped reading in earnest by that point

Aurini hit back with some highly charged language. He goes on a lengthy rant about Owen, whose “irrational jealousy of [pick-up artist, MRA, and “love tourist”] Roosh, and any man who’s able to relate to women easily”

Man, red pill infighting is a treat.

I love how none of these logic-based knowledge masters got anything in writing. Amateurs.

i gather that this controversy has sort of been pared down to nothing but true die hards on all sides, which means a lot of personal drama which thankfully even i don't have the curiosity to get into

however, i checked the feed of one dude who's always seemed like a good, reasonable writer, and found this funny exchange:

see the responses from 'nikolov' -- the argument is basically: a harrassment-soaked sewer is what makes gaming great. i honestly think they should have gone with this argument from the beginning

lmao @ gamergate auteur beef so perfect

good job google

https://twitter.com/SwiftOnSecurity/status/573660135165419520

so many platforms so many social accounts so much engagement its tuff

lol, there was no reason to hit that wasps nest and yet

they were just like "i will tweet a meme"

*dies*

I bet they thought #GamerGate referred neutrally to the dispute rather than to one side in it.

or that account is run by a hardcore gamergater who thought he was posting it to his personal @killsarkeesianlol account

The picture of the hand and the controller, how does it work

is that supposed to be male and female hands on either side of the controller?

The right hand is taking the controller away from the left hand.

lol

"I saw gender neutral bathrooms, that was weird and a bit unnecessary. I used one, but I wouldn't consider myself gender neutral, I just really needed to take a shit."

the urge to take a shit seems pretty gender neutral to me

Great post. This hipster attitude that's becoming increasingly more prevalent in game Dev is ultimately harmful to the industry. To the outside world it makes game development look childish and adolescent. We must remember that game development is, first and foremost, a software engineering discipline.

It also puts normal people off entering the industry when everyone looks and dresses the same.

they mostly argued about the sex life of this other PUA fuckface.

dear fucking lord i'm actually taking a side here.

[2/22/2015 2:20:20 PM] [the bear one]: Everything I was going off of is directly sourced to things that he’s written. He had nine years of unprotected sex without getting tested and openly stated that he didn’t care.
[2/22/2015 2:20:42 PM] [the skull one]: And you make a leap to “He is intentionally spreading STDs”
[2/22/2015 2:21:22 PM] [the bear one]: If he’s having unprotected sex with the full knowledge that he’s carrying something (as evidenced by his symptoms) then yes, he’s doing it intentionally.
[2/22/2015 2:21:44 PM] [the skull one]: Facetious logic.

uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[2/22/2015 2:22:14 PM] Davis Aurini: You also think he didn’t get laid in Norway, despite the fact that he got laid in Norway, and explained how to get laid in Norway.

he ain't lloyd bentsen but he's still pretty good

never seen some guy so emotionally invested in the idea some other dude has to have had sex

but he's... our hero. if he can't have sex there, what hope have I?

Facetious logic.

[2/22/2015 2:10:34 PM] Davis Aurini: You also seem to think that he couldn’t get laid in Denmark, and blamed the country for his own failings. I already explained to you why this is false, but you don’t remember it because you were hallucinating.

[2/22/2015 2:21:50 PM] Jordan Owen: It’s kind of like saying “well, I was randomly firing my gun into a crowd but I wasn’t INTENTIONALLY trying to hit anybody.”
[2/22/2015 2:21:53 PM] Davis Aurini: Yellow journalism

[2/22/2015 2:27:00 PM] Davis Aurini: Do you currently believe false statements?
[2/22/2015 2:27:07 PM] Jordan Owen: No.
[2/22/2015 2:27:43 PM] Davis Aurini: So you realize that Roosh did get laid in Norway?

Do you currently believe false statements?

pretty sure PSH's character says this in The Master

btw good rundown of rooshs struggles in denmark http://www.dissentmagazine.org/article/cockblocked-by-redistribution

someone please explain to me how to get laid in norway

I'VE BEEN DOING IT WRONG

[3/2/2015 11:24:23 PM] Jordan Owen: You have been trying to play Tyler Durden to my Jack this whole time and frankly I’m sick of you pouring lye on my hand.

this Norway national cock-blocking revelation is amazing

[2/22/2015 1:42:41 PM] Davis Aurini: And just for the record; your video encouraged my girlfriend to read one of Roosh’s articles for the first time, and her opinion of him has improved as a result. She understands the thrust of the article you criticized; and opines that the sarcasm is obvious.

at what point does davis r. r. aurini come to the conclusion that there's more money to be made by turning tail

theres like a whole ecosystem of idiot vloggers out there who have convinced each other theyre super legit, its really something
