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

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?'

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).

Have there been any amendments to the Gamers Bill of Rights about how long their naptimes should be and who is responsible for changing their diapers for them? Might as well see this whole reversion to infancy thing through to its logical conclusion.

I'm In The Mood To Munch! (Old Lunch), Friday, 7 November 2014 16:03 (nine years ago) link

Yiannopolis told one of them the Denton thing was fake and I think they think they are very humble for accepting it and stronger for the lesson or something, rather than like holy god we have spent three days publicly proving ourselves to be the dumbest motherfuckers alive

Dadjokke (Sgt. Biscuits), Friday, 7 November 2014 16:10 (nine years ago) link

So when do we start seeing posts about how it was "false flag" designed to make them look dumb

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 7 November 2014 16:17 (nine years ago) link

there were already people saying it was a real Denton post with false information to lead them off track

i love the endless self importance of these fools. like nobody else in the world gives half as many shits about video games as they do, yet they're convinced they're at the center of some vast conspiracy

Someone really should make a #gamergate game. Terminal Victimhood, coming soon to the PS4 and Xbox 360.

I'm In The Mood To Munch! (Old Lunch), Friday, 7 November 2014 16:48 (nine years ago) link

I think a lot of people care much, much more about video games than them, but most definitely not about the same things.

Like distributors, store owners, studios banking hundreds of millions into AAA titles, companies relying on games to sell their hardware, and television networks who have a large number of ads for video games. None of those people really care about who is buying games, though, just that games are being made and paid for. Oh, and actual video games journalists, who, ironically, are the only ones who care about having an audience for their writing.

mh, Friday, 7 November 2014 16:48 (nine years ago) link

It's of grave importance that we of the conspiracy protect the ability of gaming journalists to report unethically on video games.

my jaw left (Hurting 2), Friday, 7 November 2014 16:49 (nine years ago) link

for sure, I want to make sure m@tt and company continue to write only about war simulator first-person shooters, and that they give them at least 7/10
