Meshugger

Free Horse Armor? Well, i never!

I think that it is possible that some western countries will be less progressive than Saudi-Arabia in terms of gaming, practically speaking. This due to people in countries in that region tend not to follow the rule of law so strictly. Have you ever been to Saudi Arabia? I doubt any Western country will be anywhere near as restrictive around gaming as the conservative view of the Saudi's and what they consider as acceptable gaming content My contacts with the region tell me that they do quite a lot "under the table" and the trust in the local authorities and governments are pretty much nil. That's why a ban of a game will not bring any real effect. Compare that to a ban in Germany, where every part of the distribution-chain will be heavily monitored because well, the is the law, and how can anyone break the law? That's why a ban of a game will have greater effect. Maybe not now, but i wouldn't be surprised in the near future.

That article is parody levels of bad. Trying to elevate himself by mentioning that he's 1) eating a fine pastry 2) discussing politics about a country no one cares about and therefore safe to have an opinion about 3) finding no pleasure in simple, out-of-control joys. Yeah, join the salvation army or doctors without borders already, you self-hating imbecille.

I get 1 Hatred 2 GTA V 3 Witcher 3 You live in the wrong region But man, this game is a "piss off" to everyone:

Lego Worlds? Check KP's post. Atleast on my list it's at the top before GTA V and Witcher 3.

Check the what the best selling title on Steam is at the moment, fellas.

Since Mr. McIntosh describes himself as a "Transformative Media Maker" and "Hacktivist" (=creator of propaganda content), it's his job to try to change behaviour and attitudes in different media, including games. It's the whole damn premise.

Huh,

Hahahahaha

Yeah. If you don't mind something more blog-articley here's a serviceable rundown of the U.S military's attempts to boost enlistment via Superhero films (it takes a pretty neutral position). While worrying, it doesn't sound like the original claim that the military is running Hollywood. I'll keep an eye on it in the future though. Top Gun is awesome however. Anyone who claims otherwise can be excused on the grounds of having a bad childhood.

Uh? This is /pol/-level of a claim. Care to elaborate?

Greeting, my gamergatehq brother My heart is filled with opressive joy when meeting fellow compatriots outside of the Cathedral of Mysoginy. Please remember to pray at the altar of Patriarchy every day. Hail, fellow Leader. I too revel in the sea of salty tears of everyone that is not the white man. I also drink myself drunk on the privilege that society provided to me, and keep women subdued as only sexual objects wherever that i find them in games. The holy **** is blessed everyday on the suffering of every minority, i assure you.

And surely one could point out which one is Anita's and how its been "scientifically and statistically" disproven? Because that just sounds like you're repeating some kind of GG dogma rather than any kind of concrete facts. I don't really dwell in GG circles that much, have they too fallen into the cult-mindset? I will let mr. Nonek answer that himself. As for dogmas and cults, it has been quite difficult when everybody is mostly anonymous on 8chan and there's little to no moderation. I've tried to tell them what they should think, but they are only telling me to **** off; either because i am a shill, a femi-nazi, statist, authoritarian, jew, goiym or corporate shill. It quite difficult to shame someone into submission when they have no identity, only arguments Maybe Bruce can help me to make people think and argue as i like them to.

What's this? Feminism has been "scientifically and statistically" disproven? What a bad bait. Hasn't these 10 months showed you that there are quite a lot of different feminists? Unless you just want stir **** up, then go quite ahead.

It's quite a bizarre phenomenon. Even the most reasonable GGer (lol) seems to portray Sarkeesian as some kind of Machiavellian mastermind orchestrating the downfall of 'fun' and the rise of the matriarchy. She wouldn't even be a thing if they didn't get so butthurt when she was running her little kickstarter. Machiavellian implies cunning on such levels that you cannot help find admirable. No, more like the mainstream media swallowing professional victimhood. Hook, line and sinker. But you have to admit Meshugger you guys much a big deal around what she says, you guys post and then basically attack every single thing she says. And Twitter seems to be the medium of the outrage Can you not at least acknowledge you may be reading too much into her influence ? Of course not. That would imply that you somehow know of what is too much influence in video games media, of which you don't. Nice try though.

Personally the reason I hate Anita and her ilk is because the media is pushing their agenda as "the only proper agenda". And if one business jackass at EA or Acti or Ubi decides to take what the GameJurnoPro's folks say and force their studios to slightly conform, we done got problems bro. I have no problem with criticizing her, but I just don't see any evidence that her agenda is succeeding (or is even all that focused.) Jack Thompson was bringing lawsuits against these companies, she's putting together youtube videos and tweets. She just doesn't do it for me as public enemy number 1. Publisher's don't care about her agenda, they care about the profits. I listed a bunch of games from 2015 earlier, they are pretty much all violent and geared towards male gamers. It doesn't bother me, that's the business. That is what will sell. That is all the publishers care about. Hurlshot has summarized my view on this latest incident I have asked a question several times and no one supporting GG on this thread was able to respond ( and yes there are people on this thread who do respond to me ) The question was simple one " name 3 games that have changed and impacted your gaming experience due to SJ pressure " And guess what? No evidence to support this apparent pernicious SJ influence So for me its like you guys wait for comments from people like Anita, then you all get "outraged and offended " despite the fact its just her view and doesn't really translate to any meaningful changes by publishers So then I have to ask " whats the reason behind this anti-Anita sentiment " ? That should be the real question you guys need to ask yourselves Stop being silly. Should we have to wait for the frog to be cooked before saying that boiling water will kill it? But thanks to Gamergate, it will not happen in the close future because the insidious ****s have been exposed and are running with their tails between their legs. You should be happy that the cancer is gone, why do you wish for it to grow? Now, name three games that have been changed due to reactionary pressure. None, I can't name 3 games which is exactly my point. Its false outrage that you guys are expressing because the objectives of Anita don't really translate to anything that directly effects your gaming experience lol Hear that whimper? It's the sound of social justice trying to sound reasonable. Best of luck, may your women be treated as infantilized idols, minorities treated as helpless victims and everything normal as monstreous.

Good news everyone! http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-32955048 Well, at least temporarily.

Hey, the 90's are back!

Could this be? Could this finally be the moment when actual industry people start to call FF for their bull****? The article itself linkes to this: https://medium.com/@adrianchm/feminist-frequency-and-the-witcher-3-6b126d3d6206 Dear lord, what happened to the graphics in Witcher 3 btw? That just looks appaling

Like clockwork. I wonder how many journalists will retweet or favourite this?

*sigh* https://archive.is/Tqy4E Try to get past the first paragraph, i dare you.

I see that you haven't even commented on my links to movies, series and art, which is perfectly in line with what Senran Kagura. They have made a game which is a celebration about girls and big boobs and respond accordingly to the banzai-attitude that japanese have to everything they do. To top it all of, you suddenly shift to comparing it to Honda, which has a completely different target audience in a completely different market. Lack of logical coherence in your argument? Check! And you seem completely unable to grasp my point, the guy is the producer of the game for a corporation\business. Therefore the rules of corporate apply, you shouldn't make offensive comments or derogatory statements. Its fine to say " but this is his target audience ", that's not the point He is encouraging sales and interest in the game by degrading and denigrating women...it shouldn't even be a discussion. We should just be saying " its not necessary to make comments like that " ...and we're back to hobby-fascism, since you have no clue about the difference between a japanese game company and a multinational corporation. You cannot fight back your inner Rush Limbaugh, just let him free already. You still haven't commented on the links that have i provided for you. And you clearly just don't understand what a companies code of conduct means or represents and the importance of a company image But I'm done with this discussion, I cant keep explaining the same reason I object to the update. Thanks for the debate anyway, it has been interesting Lol Not one.single.comment. on the videos representing mainstream media and art. You don't even know what game it is even? I mean look at this:
