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

You guys are falling into the trap of overthinking this. They Are Angry At Women

Like you're almost buying that their convoluted nonsensical explanations have anything to do with their motivations.

There are others involved who bought into their crap or just love drama

xp i'm not saying that what i said was a conscious decision on anyone's part, it's just a motivating factor behind those kinds of pejoratives. they become popular weapons because they naturally work that way

nah

"National Socialist/Fascist, going into electrical engineering. Willing to debate people. A disgusting insane racist fuck -- Someone on IRC"

always with the debate

in real debates you have to be willing to concede points and allow the possibility the other person will win, though

these guys are pro arguers

in real debate people arent supposed to make fun of u for being a pitiful dweeb i think is the point

lol

it's true, though, if you are a pitiful dweeb your points are invalid. just how it is.

thats life

I feel sort of guilty for the thought, but I keep thinking "these people really are supposed to be the bottom of the food chain."

like u want to eat them

STOP BULLYING GUYS

love2bully

"soggy knees?"

'Muh soggy knees' = Misogyny!

blood fucking boiling tbh

its all connected

this whole thing seems more and more like the reason the phrase "the only way to win is not to play" was coined.

people we never need to have conversations with

the only way to win is not to play video games

fkn n00bs at harassment gtfo

we can be thankful that neither of those tweets seem to have gotten much traction, i guess

still, it's a crazy thing to follow some RW twitter argument and see one of those GG avis pop up

lmao these dudes are really on some "baby's first adult media controversy" type shit aren't they

Our battle is spilling over to tech.

looo

first comment is beautiful: links to an old biddle article about pando, as if he's in on the whole thing, doesn't notice that biddle thinks pando and its staff are "toxic"

Let's do this. Let's burn this industry to the ground.
Edit: more background on Carr and journalist on journalist violence.
None of these people are qualified to lick Greenwald's boots.

Holy.shit.
Sam Biddle?! This story has it all.

oh man, gamergaters on your side now, good luck uber

http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-London/2014/11/20/The-lost-franchise-why-Digimon-deserves-a-glorious-renaissance

he was digimonotis all along

But nowhere in the Pokémon canon exist the moments of maturity, complexity and artistic achievement that Digimon, at its best, has offered its fans. The investment required to wade through poor releases and boring anime and seek out moments of sublimity is the sort of journey only a true aficionado can appreciate, and it is that ravenous, determined and intellectually curious nature that marks out the Digimon fan. Digimon fans are the Wagnerians of video game and anime culture.

can't argue with that

like i literally cannot find an iota of interest anywhere in my dessicated soul to argue with that

I had some fun questioning some #gg dude on twitter a while ago who was trying to rally people to the cause of some vine comedian or smth who "SJWs" thought should not get a deal with a famous comedian due to rape allegations. It became pretty obvious that there was no real outcry, this guy was a gamergater by way of PUA garbage, and the guy he was defending had copped a plea to felony sexual misconduct.

he was trying to say that there was no point because uh the guy had been "acquitted" of rape. which, when you never go to trial and you plead guilty to felony sexual misconduct, obviously you are a cool dude worth defending.

o_O

why has the breitbart brand not stepped forward to offer us the SJW free video games journalism vertical that is our hearts desire
