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

yeah

been a rough day and i will admit to dicking around in this twitter space to keep from looking at things far worse

but in the end it looks like the same bullshit

i mean

the pictured tweeter may be the absolute most perfect object of ilx contempt

bio: Based Odinist Christian Jewddhist. Into code, pro-Western values/culture/heritage, NRx, finance, zen, paleo, yoga. Disclaimer: SIA if you get offended.

and his location is a west bank settlement. what a world.

have no idea how to even synthesize all that identity

based odinist is kind of amazing

on the one hand this Australian Target GTA ban seems like it might be partially based on misconceptions about how prescriptive the game is about violence towards women characters but on the other hand ahahahahahahaha it's all over for you they're comin to take yr games

have you not heard the pitchfork acclaimed run the jewels? probably the most misogynist album of the year, far mroe than anything in games

please pay with dome

nutanuki unsure how to best leverage his brand, it's sad.

maybe I should throw in more misogyny and a cool avatar

that is some next-level smug motherfucker-ness

wanna see the name on his birth certificate

that guy sucks

lol at gustave flaubert

makes me wonder whether gamergate has gotten any traction outside the english-speaking crazysphere

"Mytheos" should have just gone the whole hog and called himself Horatio Hufnagel

i was unfamiliar with this massacre but boy does it sound frighteningly pertinent today

the guy that threatened Sarkeesian's speech specifically called out that incident, claiming he was going to repeat it

This was going around on Twitter tonight and it is insane

wouldn't have pegged that guy for an Ezra Klein fan (?????)

Um

important views

the super serum a-ha
it was good

I just
how stupid and naive a nerd would you have to be to not read that shit as mental illness?

esl running this anti-GG PSA announcement over and over on the stream of intel-sponsored gaming tournament:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ockuLwY6c8

lol the GGers in the comments of that video think it's in their favor

so the charity ablegamers, which supports disabled gamers, declined some money that a gamergate-connected porn star was going to raise for them (no, really). ablegamers responded that they had "no interest in being linked to a 'gamergater stream weaponizing porn'" (full response here: http://i.imgur.com/n9D0fl8.png)

naturally kotakuinaction's response was thoughtful, measure and - nah jk it was vile shit like this:

Hahaha... Jesus fucking Christ...
In other news, puzzle and strategy games need to be made easier so retarded people can play them.

[]The-Red-Panda -2 points 2 hours ago

Really? Not cool

[]mordi33 3 points 2 hours ago

How so? It's an apt analogy. Contrary to what SJWs think, not everything should be for all people

also ablegamers' site has been ddos'ed. good job everyone!

ETHICS!

I wasted some of my time over the weekend tweeting at some dude who had a kneejerk anti-feminist reaction to an article that was completely uncontroversial about diversity in computer science. I think he admitted to never reading the article at one point, and he claimed he was just tired of people from outside of the tech sector causing problems or some bullshit.

He spent a fair amount of time trying to qualify the writer (who writes for website Ars Technica) as "not in tech."

Also, I hate everything now.

Eh, I'd suspect that the video was at least crafted to be claimed by both sides - a lot of GG are quite insistent that theirs is the diverse side (because obviously SJWs are all actually white straight men white knighting), and stating an identity as a gamer will be seen by them as a pro-GG move - they are still very very hilariously hurt over the 'Gamers are dead' articles.

ha, DJP, manboobz is what We Hunted the Mammoth used to be called. I'd guess it was changed because it's not a very appealing name

the singer from disturbed is throwing his considerable authority behind gamergate:
