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

please, let me impart my wisdom here

so these guys are basically all bronies right

froggergate

GamerGate may be dragging but this thread has really rallied today in lol terms, good job everyone.

We suggest fans of games like Gone Home review Gone Home —and fans of games like God of War Review God of War. Doing this provides valuable, professional content that serves gamers.

the freedom of consumers to decide what content they want to consume

Really the greatest freedom of all! /jk

Q: Where does frogbs go to learn about major internet controversies?
A: The frogbbs!

enemies lists are circulating

(weirdly the "nicknotned" string returns searches for the guy's name itself. twitter is creeped out)

there are "operations" called "prime rib" and "baby seal"

it'd be like some sort of weird subcultural roleplay except that real people's lives are getting ruined

kids are pissed

i guess we have no rights then

how bad must it be today to be a gamer, having lost all of their rights

Also, lol: https://twitter.com/bobbypaycheque/status/530401398366556161

I'm pretty sure I have no idea what these people mean by "shill"

so someone thinks Denton really posted a fake screed in order to destabilize gamergate?

directionless rage, hell of a drug

xp i have no idea what the consensus theory is on denton now, but i'm sure it's nextest of levels

solid concept but fedora needs to be black and clothes fit too well imo

xp

i was at a guy fawkes' night firework display in glasgow on wednesday and i saw 50 or 60 people wearing the guy fawkes / v for vendetta masks. i guess november 5 is maybe the only time where wearing one of those in public is arguably thematically appropriate but all i could think about was 'how many of these guys are gamergate supporters?'

also - that's a+ all-time trolling there sleepingbag, good job

xp, that was presumably part of the "Million Mask March" which was taking place across the world. There were hundreds of them in Central London (possibly low thousands).
