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

lol at using a Reddit board rule as the standard for scientific evidence

Dammit, Quark.

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

good for her and her friends tb

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

gree hee hee

good for her and her friends tb

haha, I was given an ad for that on Facebook and I thought "whoa, that is a badly photoshopped picture of kate upton's face on that character"

this is one of those pay-per-play supposedly-free mmo type things, right

ya looks like a clash of clans rip off they have ads for it with her during sports

I apparently had a high opinion of kate upton because I feel that I think less of her now, which is a problem with me, but

sub-theme of the general theme of "underprepared young people confronting the essential messiness and complication of adult life"

it's difficult, things are not so "black&white"

kind of fond of kate upton after

what is it with davis aurini and skulls? every screenshot i see of his youtube channel there's a fucking skull just hanging out in the background. does he have one he moves from place to place when he records or does every room in his house have a skull in it?

he also looks like a 13-year-old cosplaying as grant morrison.

it's because he looks like a skull

a skull conspicuously consuming whiskey and cigarettes, because that's what this childman has seen adults doing

So I humbly ask that – if you’ve been on the fence – that you decide to support us with a monthly donation that is affordable to you.

We are both fans of Ayn Rand, and neither of us are going to apologize for enjoying the fruits of our labour – but at the same time, this isn’t some sort of “Get-Rich-Quick” scheme. This is a gamble that we’ve both staked our reputations and sacred honour on, and our only goals over the next few months are survival and film making. I believe this is something worth doing. I believe that this is a film that can change the landscape of politics, and just not gaming. I believe this is the right thing to do.

That is amazing.

also reffed in that piece, dude's a film-maker:

this movie is really exceptional for anyone who hasnt seen it

"Lust in the time of Hat-ache" more like

movie definitely nails something about the modern human condition

I also saw that commercial and thought "pretty convincing Kate Upton lookalike"

GUYS ITS REALLY KATE UPTON

tho tbf im sure she didnt tweet that tweet

Kate Upton is #notyourshield

I was going to say something about how she should maybe be more discriminating in her endorsements, but hell, she's 22, run with it

does anything about the #notyourshield hashtag make sense? the word they were looking for was not shield

they r not the best communicators is my observation

The irony is that it is actually about anti-feminist gamers using token women and minorities as shields

yup

like maybe they hadn't heard of a strawman argument

they had
