I find it kind of humorous (tinged with sadness) that someone paid AEI to make that.

In Japan, the number of female gamers is rapidly increasing. And as a result there are more and more games being made specifically for the female gamer market. Some have a very exaggerated 'cuteness' than seems to be deliberately 'non-sexual'. Others have suggestive sexual content but with the gender roles reversed. There are also many games featuring homosexual male characters but they are clearly aimed at female gamers.

That almost reads like a direct reflection of how manga markets have been for over a decade.
― tsrobodo, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:57 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, that's true. There's a very big overlap between the manga/anime audience and the video game audience.
Multimedia franchises - play the game, read the comic, watch the anime, buy the soundtrack, buy the figures/merchandise, play the pachinko machine, read the light novel, watch the movie etc.

The general response appears to be that it's a shame that the ladies are so ill-informed about what GamerGate is about.

That's really depressing. The comments are really depressing. The only hope I can draw from this is that the men behind it are so noxious and emotionally stunted they will never get to multiply.

The subject of this article has actually been going out of her way to berate, provoke and insult gamers for years. Calling them things like nerds, losers etc and how they "take their hobby way too seriously".-- Joe Random Asshole Commenter
I can't say I had particularly noticed this vibe in Leigh Alexander's articles "for years" but either way it's funny how they don't mind it when Milo Yiannopoulos does it:
Personally, I don't understand grown men wasting their lives playing computer games. It seems a bit sad to me. . . . Is it me, or do these weirdos need therapy and their internet connections taken away by mum?
Anyway it sucks that this has happened, very disappointing
(plus, Gamasutra is for game design/developers and 99% of the gamergate brigade strike me as... not having spent the time thinking about games on the level required to/inspired by actually trying to make one, at whatever point on the continuum from dabbling to professionalism. so screw those guys for getting out their pretending-to-be-target-audience crayons. but y'know that's a totally unjustified kneejerk assumption and could be entirely wrong.)

i had dinner with leigh alexander once and, unprovoked, she went on a long spiel about how important sierra adventure games were to her worldview. anybody who thinks she's not a hardcore game nerd has never met her.
― the other song about butts in the top 5 (forksclovetofu), Thursday, 2 October 2014 14:14 (nine years ago) link
and yes, what a dumbfuck move by intel
well then she should know how important it is to save early and oftenok that has nothing to do with this, but i'm just sayin'
― Nhex, Thursday, 2 October 2014 14:18 (nine years ago) link
intel should've known better considering the army of lawyers and analysts they must have

tbf developers are going to end up buying a bunch of intel shit whether or not they advertise, anyway
― ⌘-B (mh), Thursday, 2 October 2014 14:53 (nine years ago) link
ya im sure they dont really give that much of a shit whether they advertise on some dinky nerd website or not
― lag∞n, Thursday, 2 October 2014 15:24 (nine years ago) link
well, it's one of those things where they want developers to optimize for whatever intel platform and put "runs best on intel" on the box for their games but ehhh

lol that intel pulls advertising bc of some gamer-bros and meanwhile despite BDS-bros:
(Reuters) - Israel's finance and economy ministries on Monday approved a plan by Intel Corp to invest $6 billion in the upgrade of its chip manufacturing plant, in what would be the largest single investment by a foreign company in the country.

to repeat myself it's really ugly and fascinating to watch this as an instance of very far right thinking sinking into an audience that was m/l apathetic or apolitical before

my years of playing WoW tells me that a good chunk of the gaming audience wasn't really apolitical and that none of this is a surprise (apathetic, I'll give you)
