bomb threat against a GG meetup in a DC bar last night. fucking gross.

False flag, surely?
― JimD, Sunday, 3 May 2015 09:54 (nine years ago) link
well no, but they did immediately blame the threat on arthur chu. cos he had apparently emailed the bar earlier in the day telling them it was bad to host a right wing group (lol at trying to tell a DC bar to take a partisan stand on their clientele)
i'd really like to forget about this 'movement' but they are still just everywhere. a favorite ("favorite") game of mine is a little degree-of-separation check. i only really run across them on twitter since i don't go to any game webspaces anymore.
basically, if you see some dumb right wing fuckery or lunkhead #actually backtalk on twitter, check the RT and responses -- you will find GG there. conversely, if some videogame microcontroversy finds its way into your timeline, see who else is on it, pushing it -- you will find the right wing.

Not really about games (although they are involved), but definitely scary fandom stuff.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 18:14 (nine years ago) link
that's way beyond fandom; that's a sociopathic writer going after the competition!
― Nhex, Wednesday, 6 May 2015 19:22 (nine years ago) link
It wasn't just attacks on competition though, and fantasy writers tend to be immersed in fandom unless they're a huge bestseller.

favourite thing about this is owen and aurini deftly demonstrating why interviewers in documentaries rarely appear in the same shot as their interviewees, as they sit there dumbly nodding at the edge of the frame

That trailer upthread is hilarious, the interviewers and most of their interviewees seem like incredibly sketchy or schlumpy dudes, Jack Thompson just won't stop stroking his hair as he babbles about how Sarkeesian is the real misogynist here, and the first minute of cut together news snippets make a good case for Sarkeesian being legit persecuted and harassed. Also lol at the 'economist' and that skeletor dude both rocking the same open-necked shirt and cravat "I am a crepey seducer" look, like the interview was shot in the cafe of a book store where neil strauss was doing a signing or something.
