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

imagine going through life looking like the mascot for a discount brand of liverwurst thinking your a stupendous genius because you made a videogame

A bad video game

money really can’t buy you a fucking clue huh

mein kraft

man, I finally played Minecraft after that website called it like the 3rd greatest videogame of all time and I'm not really into it

just looked, it was Polygon and it was the 8th greatest

i liked some of the games that ripped it off later in different ways - dragon quest builders, terraria

imo the placement of Minecraft is more of a statement on its legacy/influence, not on how fun it actually is to play these days.

Space Wars and Adventure are some of the most important games of all time, but they also suck ass these days

also the best way to play minecraft imo (at least it was in 2013 or whenever i played it) was on a persistent server with a bunch of ppl you know, all building cool things in your own little corners of the map, and then going and visiting other people's shit and getting jealous/inspired ot build your own cool shit

this looks fun

wow, I never really got a bead on that guy other than he was deeply, deeply phony and full of shit every time I had ever met him, gross

uh

don't tell us you sang with him?

lol

Full headline worth posting: "Amidst legal battle, Gearbox CEO says he left USB stick of porn at Medieval Times."

so much to unpack

Minecraft is great video game I don't think we should all turn on it because its creator is a douchebag (and he has not been involved for awhile now)

god talked to this fella once at a talk here and... man i had a bad vibe but not this level of bad vibe

actually maybe it was that level and i just forgot lol

There's a comma missing there!

or is there?

ya there is my bad

So THQ Nordic decided to hold an AMA on 8chan today.
Yes 8chan, the site full of child porn and white supremacists that were purged from 4chan for being too extreme for them. The absolute scum of the web.
As you can guess it didn't go well, sites like Newsweek and Variety have already picked up on the story

uhhhh what the fuck thq

love to do brand outreach on the site that's blacklisted from google searches for being too gross

Why did no one care when like, Obama and Sleater-Kinney were doing AMAs on paedo/creepshot hub Reddit

i think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the makeup of reddit if you're comparing it to a niche imageboard populated entirely by extremists

1) a lot of people cared

2) reddit and 8chan are not even remotely similar

3) in before "wow you really know a lot about paedo/creepshot hubs frobgs"

guys he's trolling he already knows the answer to his question

write a letter to the editor you bluehairs

yes, 8chan is ... nothing ... like the place where modern MRA culture and terms like "red pill" were incubated.

Does 8chan feature a subforum devoted to Contrapoints?

was sleater-kinney trying to increase their brand awareness with people who post on The_Donald?

4chan had way more to do with that than reddit

8chan is literally just the shit that gets you kicked off other sites

not gonna be capn-save-a-reddit cuz that site is a cesspool in its own way but there's a pretty distinct difference there. Reddit is huge.

it's like comparing the Bronx to a single serial killer's murder dungeon in Flushing or something

i'm sure the comparison was made in good faith tho lol

please note that i ahve no idea what flushing is, i just heard it once, no offense to flushing, i'm sure you don't have any serial killer murder dungeons

point is, yeah, people get killed in both, but one's like... all about it

the bronx is not "all about" murder what the fuck kind of thing is that to say?

awww beans misunderstood on the internet again

lol at will getting a hotter reply from tres misunderstanding his analogy than whiney did from his artisanal provocation why even bother trolling if this is the way things are

Oh sorry i thought 4chan was the bronx here, not the dungeon. My bad

I thought reddit was flushing and the dungeon was the bad subreddits

There was no infographic

is flushing in "brownstone brooklyn"

does anyone remember that argument

me neither

Flushing is where the mets play

flushing is where the joker hides out in mask of the phantasm

^ best Batman movie btw.

you’re all wrong, flushing is where fran drescher was working in a bridal shop until her boyfriend kicked her out in one of those crushing scenes
