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

schumer clip was aired well before gamergate started

is anyone watching this svu? i have it on mute cos i'm on the phone with family

earlier tho someone did use the phrase "subthread on redchan"

it's staged pretty badly and one of the badguy kids looks like wes anderson

ice-t is talking a lot about being a gamer

dick wolf

I forgot this was going to be on! Can't wait.

Heh, will have to catch that on demand...

LOL

Dick Wolf has a boat at the Santa Barbara harbor named "Guilty", and he apparently has another boat named "Innocent". Rich people joeks.

i'll give him a pass. his name is Dick Wolf!

this is only tangentially related to gaming but it was a choice between this thread and the "serious discussion about MRA issues" thread and I have absolutely no desire to have a serious discussion about this

http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAction/comments/2w6f1a/i_just_sat_through_a_night_of_indoctrination_and/

shortly after this thread was opened and dude started generating a small groundswell of support, people discovered the actual film:

oh delusion, you bring such sweet, sweet roffles

omg this is amazing

the guy rolling awkwardly under his garage door in the opening seconds is all-time

"This website is under heavy load" :-(

traffic brought down the festival server but the video bears a watch.
just read the reddit OP first

No you could take an afternoon, not know how to use a camera, no need for proper ISO, aperture, shutter, or even a fucking color balance, hell your footage could be completely over exposed or crushed in black to the point where the image can't be made out

the white balance changes from shot to shot in this ffs

also, jorts

haha even kotaku in action is like dude your movie sucks

further proof kia has been infiltrated by sjw shills

the joy expressed and dance he does following his acquisition of the sword are surely some sort of anime pastiche, the purpose of which is to, uh, act like he's an anime character

worst heel-click ever

he almost has some decent editing in the chase scene! unfortunately his split-screen stuff has the worst aspect ratio errors I've seen

yeah, it's amazing that he's gone to the effort of creating comic-book style panels and then completely failed to notice that he's painfully squishing and stretching the images within them

or, even worse, he thinks that looks cool

Are film was beautiful

numanesque

the background music was a nice touch

Thanks for sharing this. I am always fighting the urge to scream, "THIS IS NOT ART!!!!" when I'm at museums and this conceptual manure is proudly displayed. Like this thing in the Fred Meijer Art Gardens in Grand Rapids, MI. There's plenty of dubious modern "art" in that collection like this crap or this Henry Moore butt plug, but this is a fucking BOX.

What I respect about Warhol's work is that he pretty much copped to the fact what he did was kind of a scam as opposed to tarting it up as being some Really Grand Statement; the artifice was the art of it, but the viewer/buyer was expected to be bright enough to understand they're being played.

"this thing" = https://scontent-ord.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/10273719_10152925164451164_354650544822388240_n.jpg?oh=a005d48ca6cb0961a7e32cfd06720bf8&oe=5555A9A5

and, most alarmingly, "butt plug" = https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10403665_10152925165121164_8943148509649009123_n.jpg?oh=8cddcf08099c0429697da6fb4bd974a1&oe=558CD475&__gda__=1431195658_4be44c0574732f959d96351e602c4dd8

this is the best conspiracy theory i've seen yet:

I very much hate to say it, but welcome to "art". If your script focuses on sci-fi/fantasy themes, then it's already considered to be a "lesser" work than one which is more "realistic" and focuses on controversial topics.

You can blame good old O. Henry for this. He basically shat all over the concept of fantasy (and sci-fi) ever being as good as his own stories, and the critical world has mostly followed him ever since. Even in the SF/F ghetto, the major prizes tend to be won by those people who make the controversial/progressive stuff over the people who make enjoyable works.

O. HENRY.

THANKS O. HENRY

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed, this post is a troll so GamerGhazi and SRD can link here. The video has the opposite of "proper ISO, aperture, shutter, or even a fucking color balance" and the "monster" is literally made of shit.

This clip is super super super appropriate here.

Art fits in well with the SJW ideology. You can't be "wrong" and your thoughts/feelings can't be questioned, because art is whatever you say it is. A guy sucking himself off can literally be an expression of anything, if you can spin the bullshit well enough. I know this, because I studied art and graphic design for 5 years and by the end of it, pretty much got a PhD in talking shite. I saw plenty of stuff just like this example. The people who made them aren't famous, aren't rich, and don't work in creative fields any more. Go figure.
True passion and craft in creativity will always stand the test of time, at least for the most part (fuck off Tracey Emin and your shitty bed), whereas a guy sucking himself off will always be just a guy sucking himself off.

Hitting the clickbait blogs now:

yo Dogg if you got a bachelor's in graphic design you are two degrees short of a PhD

ceci n'est pas une guy sucking himself off
