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

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:

https://twitter.com/ZenOfDesign/status/572661703860625408

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

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

haa over the course of the chat hes cut his price for silence over 50% almost to the level the other guy offered to pay him for his final months salary in the first place then he says this

[12:21:11 AM] Davis Aurini: Stop trying to figure out a way out of this; I’ve told you my terms, they are more than fair, and they’re not changing.

Gamin’ gates bear a strange fruit
Cheeto dust on the leaves and dust at the root
Fat bodies swingin’ in the Gamin’ breeze
Strange fruit hangin’ from the Gamin’ trees

Pastoral scene of the basement wreck
The bulgin’ eyes and the bearded neck
Scent of the ‘Dew sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of unbathed flesh

Here is a fruit for the SJWs to mock
For the rain to gather, for the blogs to balk
For the sun to rot, for the gate to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop

brb moving to denmark

feel i have a good grasp on the language after watching this explanatory norwegian video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-mOy8VUEBk

I figured these two must deserve each other, but Aurini makes Owen look almost reasonable in comparison. I really hope they both make their own movie.

yeah two versions of the same terrible movie really wld be the best possible outcome

wow @ all that unprotected sex apologism. i wish i could say new low but this dude is already swimming happily through the gutter.

i dont think you can ever really know true regret or shame if you haven't had aurini's life to look back on.
