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

gamergate - pushing you closer to madness, one image macro at a time

i am now in the camp that would happily give up video games forever if it meant i could take them away from these irredeemable wastes

they are like the most gullible, willing-to-be-led-to-facism chodes I have ever seen, like a legion of Dwight-from-The-Offices

yeah the combo of intense paranoia and blind credulity has been really depressing to see

what is with this fucking company

http://theralphretort.com/gawker-owner-nick-denton-admits-gamergate-sabotage/

second google result for nick denton

my sources tell me that is Denton's real facebook post

It does sound like him, I've heard him use that "Kill the Batman" metaphor before. He's big on superhero movie references, an odd quirk for someone so anti-gamer.

Does he sign his posts like a freaking email?

i have to view this as an irony training seminar or something

lol @ that clickhole bit

listened to this for like three minutes and neither of these two guys are revealing anything? they're just alluding to something super important that is gonna blow the lid off the whole business mannnnnnn
steampunk dude did manage to include the phrase "GI-FUCKING-GANTIC" so hey

Biggest FTC investigation since the Dutch tulip thing

sooo the one "red pill" white nat dude that (i'm pretty sure) did all those weird web cartoons i guess is burned out on the whole thing

I've said this before, I am burned out by my job of 7 years due to the overstress of having to side-step my entire life and problems always for patients to come first and this is the same for GamerGate.

WAT

My new goal in life is to make sure my sons are too busy to ever pick up a videogame

Is Gamergate getting increasingly gibberish or am I just losing the willpower to follow along?

Yeah thats the question that floated into my mind about a week back. Floated like an unflushable turd.

^^^^^^ pretty terrified that this guy was involved in psychology in the first place

dammit stevie you stole what was going to be my first ever screenname ;_;

haha, all yours!

there can only be one chud_fucker69

wait so a guy who references the chans white supremacy board in his twitter handle was driven aground, from the soaring heights of gg leadership, allegedly due to holocaust revisionism? i am as shocked as the next credulous shut in

chud_fucker70 is available

The "Gamer Bill of Rights" is funny as shit:

http://wiki.gamergate.me/index.php/Gamer_Bill_of_Rights

The tone-deafness of #1 is jarring

tone-deafness is too generous

I think it translates to "don't write about how this game treats women line garbage" with the caveat "we can complain all day if games we don't like are offered on steam"

that is some incoherent bullshit, and starting your manifesto with the words 'this isn't a harassment campaign' is 100% nagl.

they really have no idea of how criticism works in other forms of art, do they?

or criticism in general, no. instead of responding to criticism or saying "that's valid, but it doesn't bother me" the response is DON'T WRITE THAT

those aren't even "rights" wtf

'An 'In'clusive market includes all gamers, not just the sort you approve of' - it's tragic how close they are to a self-aware realisation that will never come

we the people wld just like to first of all point out that this is not in fact a harassment campaign

'intellectually dishonest engagement may be met with creative ridicule. Please take this last bit with a grain of salt, and respect the quirks of the culture from which we hail'

death threats and doxxing are just quirks of our culture guys! settle down!

so, I'm not exactly following this, but it's gone well beyond Zoe Quinn at this point, huh

thx for weighing in

o my gosh n00b

fkn casual

it has but it sort of hasn't.

also, gamergaters seem to be the stupidest, most obtuse and most gullible fools on the internet since the tea party began.
