No ****, that's because the circumstances of Muslims is in no way comparable to that of gamers.
Muslim's exist in a culture of islamophobia where they can be subject to state sanctioned harassment, detainment and murder. Articles demanding an "end to muslims" in such a culture would not be tongue-in-cheek or mere hyperbole but instead contribute to the actually existing violent status quo. You cannot simply replace one group with another and treat it as if the implications are exactly the same.
That said, who the **** cares that some random websites wrote some melodramatic articles on 'gamers'. I've been playing games all my life and quite frankly couldn't give a ****. Until we live in a world where employers are not hiring gamers, people are running around murdering gamers or the state itself has "declared war on gamers" you are just another tumblr generation kiddie desperate to be "oppressed".
If we cannot change games journalism, then we might as well give up on everything.
Explain.
Compared to all other injustices that exists in the world, ethics in games journalism is quite a small thing in the grander schemes of things. But if this fails, how can people possibly be able to overcome anything bigger?
But GamerGate has already won, so i am optimistic about the future.
Just remind me again, what has GG achieved in the last 9 months? And I'm not being condescending, I want to see how you guys see the success of the movement
Why do you ask ? Is there a deadline for it to achieve something? And if it inevitably falls short of the bar in your head, what is your suggestion?
It has at least made talk of social justice issues, heh, in gaming a bit more in the forefront. Perhaps.
