that polygon report was pretty even-keeled - i rarely see something so sober said as violence behavior could be an accumulation of various risk factors in these kinds of stories

yeah, the parody leads to the institutionalized norm was part of my point (though i coulda phrased that better)

i gather anita sarkeesian put out another video today?
and this 'movement' is still going on! amazing to think of really. here's a decent writeup of the current situation, which is about the same as it's always been. their meetups have received bomb threats on at least two occasions i've heard of, which is really fucked up.

your terrible ideas (gamer edition):
A bizzaro Anita Sarkeesian video that with the help of modded game footage shows a world where you play a female in games like gtav and god of war, and all the men are hookers, slaves and other sex objects. Lots of in game footage of men looking like models and being treated like dirt. Some wear chaps, some wear speedos, some nudity here and there... yada yada yada

oh... and all the dialogue can stay the same, just substitute female nouns/pronouns for male ones and vice versa

I occasionally check in with Feminist Frequency on YouTube. They're good videos and informative. Pretty much immediately afterward, my YouTube recommendations fill up with Sargon of Akkad.

It's been a month on the Steam forums and good god I'm taken aback by the sheer percentage gamers who post in forums that are idiot jerks. Never been a member of a gaming-centric forum before and yeeeesh it is ugly out there.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 6 October 2015 17:46 (eight years ago) link
it's such a pain that these kind of places are often the only resources available for info regarding a game you are playing or are interested in. were it any other way, they could be easily avoided

I thought to myself, I wonder how quickly this goes off the rails?
Unless you count ISIS, it’s hard to think of a recent movement with a worse image than GamerGate.

Responses to the “Zoe post” certainly included some vile misogynist comments, particularly on 4chan, a board with anonymous posting and a notoriously anything-goes atmosphere. Yet mostly, the hostility to Ms. Quinn was not based on gender but on the perception that she was a darling of the elites showered with undeserved praise.
"yet mostly" ah yes

Feminist gaming critic Katherine Cross sees Vivian as the gamers’ ideal woman, not only “apolitical” but with no mind of her own and pliable to male fantasy. Yet, as it happens, one of Twitter’s most active and outspoken “gaters” is a young woman who dresses as Vivian James for GamerGate events and goes by “Cult of Vivian” (real first name, Nicole).
wow pathetic
Except for the bigots and far-right loons who hang out on the movement’s fringes, what they oppose is not equal treatment for women, gays, transgender people, or minorities, but the politicization and policing of culture.
that's a good one

A Boston Magazine story even discussed a bizarre video rant against Wu as an example of GamerGate harassment—nearly two months after BuzzFeed reported that it was the work of a trolling comedian out to mock and spoof GamerGate.
