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

Blogger with a history writing about Game of Thrones and Boardwalk Empire suddenly takes on an "edgy" hit piece promoting anti-male narratives
Low-hanging tech writer makes a sudden switch into an anti-male narrative
General tech writer wtih no serious history of anti-male hatred, but is happily towing the line today
Opportunist who wants the world to have more females in tech, but can't seem to hire one for his top editor staff.

When 113 writers from over 100 different blogs all reference the same person within the same extremely narrow time frame? I'd call that damn good circumstantial evidence of collusion.

antae milkable

er, i put these out of order; this is first:

107 articles, in which Joseph Bernstein is mentioned 91 times between then.

Obviously, he's a hub of distribution. So, start pulling BuzzFeed's ad revenue.

lol this was after he interviewed er0n wasn't it

anyway, more EVIDENCE

feel bad that #gamergate dudes missed the cold war

lol i forgot the EVIDENCE

v convincing word cloud

blew the whole damn thing open

have yet to read #gamergate-er's vexations against feminism that don't scream "i have had a terrible relationship with women since the playground at elementary school"

has anyone who uses 'females' as a synonym for women ever been reasonable?

it makes it sound as if you're some sort of extraterrestrial scientist studying humans

one of my favorite things about them is their casual planning of unrealistic retribution, theres one upthread where they scheme to crash gawkers stock price (not a public company btw) asking if anyone knows someone on wall street who can make it happen, like they assign to themselves incredible powers of conspiracy too

GO CRIMSON

really interesting to me that these internet new-old-right types have resurrected the english civil war as the key political hinge still operating in the present: themselves as the royalists/cavaliers (carefree, traditional, honorable, and doomed) and their enemy, the whole international liberal order, as puritan/roundhead (grim, fanatical, genocidal, both heretical and obsessed with heresy). they don't really mean it metaphorically either.

xp lol perfect punchline

shout out to the cartoon nazi hunk in grey bathrobe, still dunno what's up with that

no joke i assume these guys have some strong opinions on circumcision too

now that i had not considered...

the venn diagram has overlaps with so many other annoying internet scenes (some way more than others of course): paleo, crossfit, bitcoin, "manliness," "makers." i never figured video games would be one of them.

REACTOPUNKS

liked their first album, etc etc

Oh man, that dude's blog:

Tired of the lies?

I don't send out marketing crap. I give you raw truth and blog updates; that's it.

just a little too long for a user name but all is not lost: good candidate for a new board description imo!
