Not really about games (although they are involved), but definitely scary fandom stuff.

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.

I'm pretty sure that if they found themselves in that situation they'd fake a way to get him in the documentary, Bowfinger style.

"[Gamergate] gave the US left (including the Dems) time to mount their own counterargument to the social justice movement and thereby not appear beholden to it--the quick adoption of "social justice warrior" as a negative stereotype speaks to this."
what on earth

there was a week of meetings at Camp David over it. Prez decided to forgo using the term "social justice" in order to pacify the neckbeard lobby.

Auerbach in the entertainingly precarious position where there people who he'd piss off by turning GG have spotted what he's doing, but anyone in actual GG hasn't - given half a chance he'd try to be the next Milo (!) but the fish, they aren't biting.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 4 June 2015 16:15 (nine years ago) link
I just see those blocks of text and skim them and just don't want to even bother. If you take everything written about GG about 1% of it has to do with actual video games and the other 99% is a vortex of high school gossip-style bs spinning around in a toilet that is too full of shit to fully flush out.
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 4 June 2015 16:20 (nine years ago) link
aaaahhahahah yes, political historians will eventually unite around 2014 as a realignment year, when the US left (including the Dems) finally developed a counterargument to the social justice movement, around the nation-rocking flashpoint of ethics in video game journalism. amazing.

It mainly seems like people that are bored with video games and would rather treat social media like a new kind of game and using other people (who are real but may as well be virtual avatars) as NPCs/enemies in whatever game they are making up in their heads. All of the scary left wing figures they are fighting actually talk about video games and engage w the medium far more than GG drama queens.

even a shithole meeting room (not a booth even) in the basement is like way expensive, barebones table booth space in kentia hall would probably be like 30K or something, i think it was 20ish last time we bothered
