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

hitler vid starts slow but gets p good.

didn't think anything really new could be done with this material but the cut at 3:06 and reaction shot at 3:26 are excellent.

They've done it. They've cracked it wide open.

this is a fascinating document, a far-right site talking gg (as most of them have been all along)

ignore the overheated writing for the comments tho: lots of self-professed "left-libertarians" chiming in. there's the whole roster of far-right internet bros in there eventually.

i think somewhere in there someone openly admits that their charity giving (esp to that one women-in-games org they like) is pinkwashing advised by the white nationalist types on 4chan to give the whole thing legitimacy

I cannot WAIT to seehow South Park takes on #Gamergate (self.KotakuInAction)

submitted 2 hours ago by theclayinyourhands

I have full faith in Trey and Matt, that they will see through the shilling and tackle this issue with sharp satire on both sides. And everyone knows Trey and Matt will not be able to resist. I'd say expect a GG themed episode of South Park within 2-3 weeks.

I can just see it now. Cartman is playingvideo games when all of the sudden a woman on voice chat or something starts spouting off a bunch of feminist shit and he goes out and either a). starts the "Gamergate" movement or b). joins the existing Gamergate movement and when he starts being all misogynist all the other GG people are like "no, dude this is about ethics" at which point he starts a spinoff GG group based on misogyny and then at the end they all learn a lesson and move on. With, of course, all the jokes and shots that Matt and Trey will throw in there.

Needles to say, it'll be a classic.

Needles to say

does ilx have a "post your topical south park fanfiction" thread because if not

Does ILX have a 'needless to say' thread because if not

1) cartman hears a woman saying feminist shit 2) he starts gamergate 3) everyone else in gamergate tells him it’s about ethics in journalism

With, of course, all the jokes and shots that Matt and Trey will throw in there.

come for the ethics in videogames, stay for the south park fan fic

whatever happens it'll just end with Stan going "it's fuckin' video games, dude!" as he flips off the camera

and then at the end they all learn a lesson and move on.

not optimistic abt this

Needles to say

Needles to hay.

south park ep would prbly be just about as funny as that unfortunately

those of you in austin, looks like a GGer is running for city council

man someone just turn off the fucking internet

inevitable at this point there would be some crossover with tumblr identitarian weirdos, but i came across a GG tweeter who self-described as "race queer" which i gather meant he was a white dude who identified as korean. yup.

xp one post too soon probably hurting

GG and what we might term #hollagate are just damaging my brain right now

man this overly grandiose 300 shit really starts to worry me, when is the first mass shooting related to #GG coming?

lol @ "race queer"

his grandmother was Dutch

now i actually want to watch south park for the first time in 30 years to see if they do anything

Wtf @ "race queer"

i'm kicking myself for not grabbing it, can't find it nor remember the context where i ran across the dude.

I'm a phase queer - I identify as plasma.

there was a point where "transracial" (not the adoption term) seemed to be a serious thing and it was mostly just white boys taking videos of themselves talking like hispanic women

identitarian!

Is there a more general thread for #redpill-type stuff (MRA thread is closed)? Because, guys

not the right word, late great?

http://www.buzzfeed.com/josephbernstein/the-disturbing-misogynist-history-of-gamergates-g

In all, seven out of ten of r/KotakuInAction’s human moderators either participate in or moderate subreddits devoted to either the physical and emotional degradation and humiliation of women, or in subreddits devoted to mocking and delegitimizing the arguments and appearances of feminists and “social justice warriors.” These online actions, while separate from r/KotakuInAction, are a far cry from a community that paints itself as the respectable face of GamerGate, unsullied by the rampant misogyny of unsavory fellow travelers.

no, it's a fine word, it's just a funny coinage i'd never heard before

kind of came up w/ it on the fly. certainly not the term they'd use.

a mordy classic: http://ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=77&threadid=93164

oh that's 77. welp.

amazing

gamergaters vs one-eyed purple-headed monster

hmmm

note also the 8chan banner, sad there are no WizardChan representatives

diverse army though, there is a woman (maybe another one deep in the back), an eagle-american, and even a skeleton of color

Q: should we start a new general thread for making fun of Red Pill/Return of Kings/MRA shit?

did the other MRA thread get closed?

I'll re-open the thread.

Maybe there should be a new thread though for real. It seems like there was some confusion/bitterness around whether it could be a serious discussion or was just a thread to make fun of shit.

Yeah, I mean, it veered wildly in tone. I don't know. The option's there if you want to use the old one or you could start a new one that isn't inhabited by the ghosts of dead clusterfucks.

oh yeah. new one, please

Ok, suggest a title? Something like Rolling Thread for NON-Serious Discussion of MRA/Red Pill/Return of Kings/Miscellaneous Neckbeardery

discussion of MRA fuckery
