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

Nah, go for it on PC if you can, just for the ability to integrate mods & bug fixes

Offers a much better upgrade experience

I'm mystified by the intent and origin of this document

Geoffrey Splenda, the first Baron Splenda (silby), Friday, 14 November 2014 17:23 (eleven years ago)

and why they thought they needed to put the word "actual" in the title

8chan presumably considers 4chan to be a nest of sjws at this point

pick list of new targets?

intelligent, expressive males within the greater metropolitan (Bananaman Begins), Friday, 14 November 2014 17:26 (eleven years ago)

yeah I really can't tell what the point of that is or who it's aimed at

lmao @ "Actual Women"

Thank you, 4chan, for saving us from ersatz women in the videogame industry with this handy cheat sheet

video games can't be sexist look here are some women who make games

jenny holzer, ilxor (mh), Friday, 14 November 2014 17:29 (eleven years ago)

they make real games, not bullshit like depression quest or w/e

jenny holzer, ilxor (mh), Friday, 14 November 2014 17:30 (eleven years ago)

yeah just gonna post:

think it's "there are women who have made games so nothing anybody ever says can be misogynist mmmmkay?"

GG has a trans woman too, don't you forget it!

"I'm a woman in the videogame industry and-"
"NO SO FAST where are you on the JPG? Nice try, dude."

the farakhan of gg (DJP), Friday, 14 November 2014 17:32 (eleven years ago)

I think the point of that list is "Mom is wrong, I CAN find a girlfriend like this"

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 14 November 2014 17:33 (eleven years ago)

when you say mom do you mean based mom?

world's most inexplicable hashtag

jenny holzer, ilxor (mh), Friday, 14 November 2014 18:46 (eleven years ago)

so i saw this tweet: https://twitter.com/maggiekb1/status/533636582746497024 that two women, a journalist and a scientist, were getting harassment for criticizing the comet bro for his dumb shirt. checked their feeds and lo and behold, among them are a bunch of people with gg-related avatars.

also very quickly saw that their "OpSkynet" hashtag has been joined with "OpPostLewds" where they send each other anime porn. so that's where our free speech movement is this weekend.

goole, Saturday, 15 November 2014 19:54 (eleven years ago)

checked their *mentions i should say

goole, Saturday, 15 November 2014 19:56 (eleven years ago)

so perhaps I should just let this all die (please tell me it will die, right) but eh. much respect to those two women for retweeting the stupid, hateful shit they got sent

also while working through their RTs I saw this: https://twitter.com/iglvzx/status/533505214175657987
a reminder that credulous sheep and antisemites are dangerous; good job GG harbours neither

"listen and believe" refers to anita sarkeesian asking people to believe women when they tell their stories of harassment iirc.

"Only legitimate claims rise to the top"

If only Anita could "provide evidence for the claims that she makes". Like maybe she could make a video series and include actual footage from games.

you may see mention of this in the future: a gg'er dude's gf caught wind of his online activities and her friends closed ranks and kicked him out of their apt (i gather he wasn't on the lease). he alleges assault during this. dude's twitter is r3vuem4ge (not with numbers tho). idk, goes past the limits of my schadenfreude. ugly breakups are a theme of this whole shitshow huh

But really, where oh where would they get the idea that #GamerGate is bred out of misogyny? So that's a whole other thing.
