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

if you were a ture geek you'd do smart stuff good for not money

oh, so you like computers huh? how poor are you

So to sum it up, Fappening is trivial, we aren't listening to the moderate gamer haters. This Auerbach dude def seems like a dude I can trust about women's issues.

won't link to it but there was a popehat "balanced" gg article that suggested gawker "body-shamed" renee z for this of all things http://gawker.com/here-are-some-pictures-of-renee-zellweger-1648827025

the point about no sense of irony or context is so OTM

god that Slate article, apart from its myriad other problems it seems to go on FOREVER

xp Conveniently for me I hate both marriage and gamers so it's nice that they've been combined into a single word

tbf Auerbach always has the Black Keys if this writing thing doesn't pan out

Gam is short for game

I really, really want to beat these people up now.

You didn't before?

lol

that's why I added a second really

that's why there's a "2" after "hurting"

PLEASE can we stop the threats and bullying on this board? no wonder gamergaters feel so threatened

Shut up nerd, get back in the locker.

the bully is on the other foot now, misogamer!

But misogamer is the name of my Japanese maid cafe

Adobe was one of the few 'victories' for GG, but they really don't like it either.

"Wow, sexist and racist. Two in one. You have a gift."

these gamergaters remind me of a cargo cult, like they think if they put on dad's suit and mouth the big serious words they think grownups use, they will all be magically deemed serious adults and their serious concerns about ethics in game journalism will assume gravitas, but like the islanders who built an airplane out of palm fronds or w/e they still have no insight at all how any of it actually works

I guess in that way it's just continuing the m.o. of the MRA/fedora sphere, with its obsession with divining the right shibboleths to utter and special garb to wear and mystic rites to enact to access social cachet rather than learning how to be a person in the world

tangentially related, but I'm interested in seeing Nightcrawler which seems to touch upon this sort of internet-educated recluse but applying it to the world tabloid journalism, or something

otm xp

THEY HAVE NO SERIOUS CONCERNS

solid post anonanon

another good american cargo cult is these folks "I'm a sovereign human being, I stand under common law only" - Thread of Freemen

thing is that cargo cults have a rational and explicable basis for their beliefs
