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

xp yes

It seems like they're going for a 'man-to-man' thing this time.

I've been put on the anti-GG blocking list (ie the list that blocks out anti-gg's on twitter) Got a notice from 'SJW List Alert'. So proud.

congrats dawg!

I wonder which lists I'm on, I definitely trolled their hashtag a bit

the list is just made up of followers of like 30 key SJW twitter accounts fwiw people

^ this

yeah it's not an achievement

frankly i've been too cowardly to even get into it on twitter so iwas p disappointed to find myself on there. i just don't wanna be publicly involved ffs. and im pretty high up the lsit too bc i think it's in order of signing up to fucknig twitter, yay

need a more sophisticated algorithm theyre gonna end up blocking a bunch of each other cause of h8 follows

that is the best case scenario imo

ya rly

wow not cool

none of them are going to use this thing. it's just to make the list.

I realise she is shaking not in fear, but in anger. She has carried this for months. “I was hoping no one would buy into that ethics reinvention because it’s so very transparent,” she says. “It’s like a cardboard prop of a city – it looks like a city, but if you touch it, it all falls over. And now people who do care about ethics in journalism are part of my ex’s revenge on me! Goddamn celebrities and corporations have weighed in on attempts to destroy my life. I don’t think there’s a handbook on how to deal with a hate group coming out of a blog post by your ex. It would be like the Tea party starting over a shitty relationship.”

new interview with zoe quinn in the guardian. she says she's collected 16gb of gamergate bullshit directed against her :(

more on the "block list" and man who made it

http://www.ashedryden.com/blog/when-wellmeaning-people-harm-those-they-supposedly-protect

Make assumptions about collusion between indie game developers and journalists, then make assumptions based on those assumptions. When the initial assumptions are proven false, do not return to the drawing board, you’re on too much of a roll here.

Get 2 free turns.

haha

I am thinking the assumption behind this thread is incorrect, all things considered.

yeah

been a rough day and i will admit to dicking around in this twitter space to keep from looking at things far worse

but in the end it looks like the same bullshit

i mean

the pictured tweeter may be the absolute most perfect object of ilx contempt

and his location is a west bank settlement. what a world.

have no idea how to even synthesize all that identity

based odinist is kind of amazing

on the one hand this Australian Target GTA ban seems like it might be partially based on misconceptions about how prescriptive the game is about violence towards women characters but on the other hand ahahahahahahaha it's all over for you they're comin to take yr games

have you not heard the pitchfork acclaimed run the jewels? probably the most misogynist album of the year, far mroe than anything in games

please pay with dome

nutanuki unsure how to best leverage his brand, it's sad.

maybe I should throw in more misogyny and a cool avatar

that is some next-level smug motherfucker-ness

wanna see the name on his birth certificate

that guy sucks

lol at gustave flaubert

makes me wonder whether gamergate has gotten any traction outside the english-speaking crazysphere

"Mytheos" should have just gone the whole hog and called himself Horatio Hufnagel

i was unfamiliar with this massacre but boy does it sound frighteningly pertinent today

the guy that threatened Sarkeesian's speech specifically called out that incident, claiming he was going to repeat it

https://storify.com/SJWIlluminati/juicebro-is-fucking-nuts

This was going around on Twitter tonight and it is insane

wouldn't have pegged that guy for an Ezra Klein fan (?????)

Um

important views

the super serum a-ha
it was good

I just
how stupid and naive a nerd would you have to be to not read that shit as mental illness?

esl running this anti-GG PSA announcement over and over on the stream of intel-sponsored gaming tournament:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ockuLwY6c8

lol the GGers in the comments of that video think it's in their favor

so the charity ablegamers, which supports disabled gamers, declined some money that a gamergate-connected porn star was going to raise for them (no, really). ablegamers responded that they had "no interest in being linked to a 'gamergater stream weaponizing porn'" (full response here: http://i.imgur.com/n9D0fl8.png)

naturally kotakuinaction's response was thoughtful, measure and - nah jk it was vile shit like this:

Hahaha... Jesus fucking Christ...
In other news, puzzle and strategy games need to be made easier so retarded people can play them.

[]The-Red-Panda -2 points 2 hours ago

Really? Not cool

[]mordi33 3 points 2 hours ago

How so? It's an apt analogy. Contrary to what SJWs think, not everything should be for all people

also ablegamers' site has been ddos'ed. good job everyone!

ETHICS!

I wasted some of my time over the weekend tweeting at some dude who had a kneejerk anti-feminist reaction to an article that was completely uncontroversial about diversity in computer science. I think he admitted to never reading the article at one point, and he claimed he was just tired of people from outside of the tech sector causing problems or some bullshit.

He spent a fair amount of time trying to qualify the writer (who writes for website Ars Technica) as "not in tech."

Also, I hate everything now.
