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

world's most inexplicable hashtag

so i saw this tweet: https://twitter.com/maggiekb1/status/533636582746497024 that two women, a journalist and a scientist, were getting harassment for criticizing the comet bro for his dumb shirt. checked their feeds and lo and behold, among them are a bunch of people with gg-related avatars.

also very quickly saw that their "OpSkynet" hashtag has been joined with "OpPostLewds" where they send each other anime porn. so that's where our free speech movement is this weekend.

checked their *mentions i should say

so perhaps I should just let this all die (please tell me it will die, right) but eh. much respect to those two women for retweeting the stupid, hateful shit they got sent

also while working through their RTs I saw this: https://twitter.com/iglvzx/status/533505214175657987
a reminder that credulous sheep and antisemites are dangerous; good job GG harbours neither

i have to embed that because holy shit

"listen and believe" refers to anita sarkeesian asking people to believe women when they tell their stories of harassment iirc.

Breaking: SJW's MAY NOT HAVE PLANS TO COMMIT GENOCIDE

may not. we're skeptics, we take nothing at face value

no such thing as a christian gamer I guess

"Only legitimate claims rise to the top"

LOL has this been true of any system at any point in history?

ILX

If only Anita could "provide evidence for the claims that she makes". Like maybe she could make a video series and include actual footage from games.

^ feels like the final answer to the thread question

lol at using a Reddit board rule as the standard for scientific evidence

GAMERGATE/ACADEMIC SCIENCE

just imagine in 20 years after the SJWs have all been rocketed into an asteroid, Gamergate 101 will be required for all freshmen everywhere

Dammit, Quark.

you may see mention of this in the future: a gg'er dude's gf caught wind of his online activities and her friends closed ranks and kicked him out of their apt (i gather he wasn't on the lease). he alleges assault during this. dude's twitter is r3vuem4ge (not with numbers tho). idk, goes past the limits of my schadenfreude. ugly breakups are a theme of this whole shitshow huh

good for her and her friends tb

But really, where oh where would they get the idea that #GamerGate is bred out of misogyny? So that's a whole other thing.

gree hee hee

good for her and her friends tb

haha, I was given an ad for that on Facebook and I thought "whoa, that is a badly photoshopped picture of kate upton's face on that character"

this is one of those pay-per-play supposedly-free mmo type things, right

ya looks like a clash of clans rip off they have ads for it with her during sports

I apparently had a high opinion of kate upton because I feel that I think less of her now, which is a problem with me, but

gamers

lol

sub-theme of the general theme of "underprepared young people confronting the essential messiness and complication of adult life"

it's difficult, things are not so "black&white"

kind of fond of kate upton after

what is it with davis aurini and skulls? every screenshot i see of his youtube channel there's a fucking skull just hanging out in the background. does he have one he moves from place to place when he records or does every room in his house have a skull in it?

he also looks like a 13-year-old cosplaying as grant morrison.

it's because he looks like a skull

a skull conspicuously consuming whiskey and cigarettes, because that's what this childman has seen adults doing

So I humbly ask that – if you’ve been on the fence – that you decide to support us with a monthly donation that is affordable to you.

We are both fans of Ayn Rand, and neither of us are going to apologize for enjoying the fruits of our labour – but at the same time, this isn’t some sort of “Get-Rich-Quick” scheme. This is a gamble that we’ve both staked our reputations and sacred honour on, and our only goals over the next few months are survival and film making. I believe this is something worth doing. I believe that this is a film that can change the landscape of politics, and just not gaming. I believe this is the right thing to do.
