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

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

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

jenny holzer, ilxor (mh), Monday, 17 November 2014 02:26 (eleven years ago)

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

lag∞n, Monday, 17 November 2014 02:28 (eleven years ago)

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"

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.

bizarro gazzara, Monday, 17 November 2014 10:56 (eleven years ago)

it's because he looks like a skull

you fuck one chud... (stevie), Monday, 17 November 2014 11:00 (eleven years ago)

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.

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

Kate Upton is #notyourshield

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Monday, 17 November 2014 16:15 (eleven years ago)

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

jenny holzer, ilxor (mh), Monday, 17 November 2014 16:20 (eleven years ago)

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

jenny holzer, ilxor (mh), Monday, 17 November 2014 16:20 (eleven years ago)

they r not the best communicators is my observation

lag∞n, Monday, 17 November 2014 16:22 (eleven years ago)

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

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Monday, 17 November 2014 16:22 (eleven years ago)

yup

Nhex, Monday, 17 November 2014 16:24 (eleven years ago)

I'm still back on Davis Aurini

Trained as a Historian at McMaster University, and as an Infantry soldier in the Canadian Forces, I'm an author, a strategist, a neoreactionary monarchist, and an entrepreneur.

also a white supremacist. he's a fucking gem that one

bizarro gazzara, Monday, 17 November 2014 16:33 (eleven years ago)

as i mentioned a bit upthread, that amazing video of his was at least partially funded by the canadian government - a stirring testament to his skills as an entrepreneur

bizarro gazzara, Monday, 17 November 2014 16:36 (eleven years ago)

I keep seeing that video and it looking like a still from some really bad backstreet boys fan video or something and being curious but just not wanting to give them the views. Anyone want to summarize it? I'm guessing the guy in the middle spouts a bunch of MRA stuff and the guys behind him chip in from time to time.
