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

Is Gamergate getting increasingly gibberish or am I just losing the willpower to follow along?

Yeah thats the question that floated into my mind about a week back. Floated like an unflushable turd.

^^^^^^ pretty terrified that this guy was involved in psychology in the first place

dammit stevie you stole what was going to be my first ever screenname ;_;

haha, all yours!

there can only be one chud_fucker69

wait so a guy who references the chans white supremacy board in his twitter handle was driven aground, from the soaring heights of gg leadership, allegedly due to holocaust revisionism? i am as shocked as the next credulous shut in

chud_fucker70 is available

The "Gamer Bill of Rights" is funny as shit:

http://wiki.gamergate.me/index.php/Gamer_Bill_of_Rights

The tone-deafness of #1 is jarring

tone-deafness is too generous

I think it translates to "don't write about how this game treats women line garbage" with the caveat "we can complain all day if games we don't like are offered on steam"

that is some incoherent bullshit, and starting your manifesto with the words 'this isn't a harassment campaign' is 100% nagl.

they really have no idea of how criticism works in other forms of art, do they?

or criticism in general, no. instead of responding to criticism or saying "that's valid, but it doesn't bother me" the response is DON'T WRITE THAT

those aren't even "rights" wtf

'An 'In'clusive market includes all gamers, not just the sort you approve of' - it's tragic how close they are to a self-aware realisation that will never come

we the people wld just like to first of all point out that this is not in fact a harassment campaign

'intellectually dishonest engagement may be met with creative ridicule. Please take this last bit with a grain of salt, and respect the quirks of the culture from which we hail'

death threats and doxxing are just quirks of our culture guys! settle down!

so, I'm not exactly following this, but it's gone well beyond Zoe Quinn at this point, huh

thx for weighing in

it has but it sort of hasn't.

also, gamergaters seem to be the stupidest, most obtuse and most gullible fools on the internet since the tea party began.

tbf theyre all 13 years old

yeah but they're a stupid 13 years old

this whole foofaraw has confirmed so many of my prejudices tbh

can someone sum it up for me?

the frightening thing is that a lot of them seem to be a lot older than 13

thx for weighing in

yeah sorry for not reading 3250 posts of this
