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

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

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

looking forward to 'the paranoid style in american nerddom' by sam biddle & max read

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

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.

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

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

great recap

What happened was King of Pol got his hands on a Skype log from some ‘secret’ gg skype group. In the log where some ideas how to target RogueStar as some people don’t agree with his methods. Pol didn’t like that one bit and went after Mundane Matt, one of the persons who was in that skype group on his stream.

Mundane Matt and RogueStar had beef about this very same issue in the past but it got squashed by Sargon. So later after Pol’s stream, now in Sargon’s stream (See Sargon as the farakhan of gg squashing beef left and right) We have Mundane Matt and RogueStar saying everything is good, no hard feelings, etc.

While this is in process Pol jumps in the stream starting spilling spaghetti and regurgitating. People in the stream told Pol to drop it which he kinda did. That’s about it really. Lot’s of unnecessary drama but no hostile takeovers.

Pol takes a backseat, no longer using the gg tag. Even tho he fucked up the harassment against him is uncalled for. (Just to make it clear again, all harassment is uncalled for. We’re anti-corruption, anti-harassment) Pol has done a good job getting different forces together at the start of this. We should remember that.

As for the harassment patrol. It’s still here. Some people have been vocal against it from day one, it’s not their call. The only people who can call it quits are the people doing the patrolling.

Also don’t go around and call people white supremacist if you’re not sure.

Mundane Matt and RogueStar had beef about this very same issue in the past but it got squashed by Sargon. So later after Pol’s stream, now in Sargon’s stream (See Sargon as the farakhan of gg squashing beef left and right)

when the misogynist sociopaths can't get along together what hope is there for the rest of us?

you know things are going badly for gamergaters when they're getting clowned by reddit's bitcoin board

GG seems to have descended into backstabbing and conspiracy theories. I'm watching, slack-jawed and horrified.
Milo Yiannopoulos @Nero

descended... from front-stabbing and conspiracy theories, I assume

that zen of design article has so many wonderful details

"MacKenzie Kelly was an Republican running for City Council in my home city of Austin in District 6. She ran on a pro-gamergate platform. She advertised this on her website with an article that directly plagiarized Clickhole’s gamergate coverage."

lol my god this shit

it gets worse the more layers get peeled huh

or better, more ethical

Super ethical

almost totally free of rape jokes

Excepting the logo and branding and tweets

it is kinda funny how there are any number of people within their ranks to whom its all a big joke

like all the unsavory particularities of this #gamorgate aside it wld be pretty funny to rile up a bunch of hapless teens into creating a media firestorm
