Except the articles didn't even use the word "dead". But yes, you're pretty much correct. This, of course, didn't stop people to interpret it as "they're saying gamers are white and therefore bad!" or whatever inane bull**** they were spewing last time.

So than you don't think we are "entitled man-children"? I take issue with the usage of "man-children" as an insult on a general principle, so no.

Except for the fact that the original "gamers are over" articles were published on a personal blog and on a developer-facing site, and the ones published by gaming journalism were mainly quoting those two while noting the backlash, making the analogy quite apt. (ie. no wider audience was harmed in either case, so to speak.) Not like we haven't been over and over and over this easily verifiable fact multiple times, but then again, repeat a lie enough times etc etc. Lol, and the armenian genocide never happened. Give me a single link to any article published in those 12 hours on a gaming journalist site that was proclaiming gamers dead without noting where the idea was originating from.

Semantics. Sure the word "entitlement" applies. But your use of it is with a unflattering and scornful slant. I was merely noting that the attitude might have something to do with "entitled man-children" being an oft-used insult. Not sure why that makes it somehow "my usage".

I thought that was just basic free market reality. The free market mentality breeds entitlement like there's no tomorrow, no mistake about it, but that doesn't make the entitlement somehow magically nonexistent.

You may have noticed we're dealing with a tad unreliable narrator here. Or at the very least one that's most certainly not unbiased.

This is just more projection. The entire social justice in media movement is about being entitled to representation. So you don't think "entertainment media has to serve its customers" (ie. "ME"; see also GG's persistent and somewhat weird fetishization of the consumer identity) is a tad entitled as far as attitudes go?

Okay, it was actually blissfully short, so that's a plus. Nice strawman at 1:45. I find myself in complete agreement with the "we're entitled to our informed opinions" part. Although it's a funny example of doublethink when people who supposedly nod along vigorously at this quote have no problem bashing feminism based on the most cursory understanding of it (or, to be more cynical, based on other people's opinions based on a most cursory understanding). That said, insulting your own audience? Way to go, Mr. Ellison. Incidentally, isn't the very same thing what allegedly sparked gamergate? He insulted mr. Johnson, the midget. Not his audience. Mr. Johnson, who's supposedly a member of his audience, having read at least one of his stories. You do realize you're digging quite a hole here? Do enlighten me.

I expect people to have some empathy and compassion. Pfeh, who needs that feminine bull****.

...And you people wonder why "entitled man-children" is the go-to insult of anti-GG. "WHO CARES ABOUT REALITY I JUST WANT YOU TO SAY WHAT I WANT TO HEAR BWWAAAAAA"

1) Promote, participate or create media that follows that ideology 2) Demand, censor, ban media that does not follow that ideology Pick one. OH MY GOD THE HORRIBLE VERISIMILITUDE AGENDA TAKE IT OUT OF MY GAMES So the second alternative it is then. Please refer to Harlan Ellison from my previous post. It's really insightful and i recommend that you watch it Insightful like the Sargon video, or actually insightful?

Lets have some more fun. Image instead of the story of Forrest Gump, but now as Florence Gump. Florence Gump is emotionally abused for decades by her Johnny and by today's standards, sexually abused in the middle of night after heroically claiming to know 'what love is'. I thought Forrest Gump was already widely seen as a horrible piece of media by the SJW bogeymen?

Seriously? Based on his posting history in these topics, you'd think he's contractually obliged to identify as a moderate in every. single. post. (Also: when you literally call your opponents fascists for the horrible thoughtcrime of wanting demographics distribution in media to actually resemble reality, you lose every right to call yourself a moderate in my book, but that's orthogonal to the point.) That's a funny realization from a member of a movement supposedly built on outrage over the completely fictional "gamers are dead" articles.

Implying, of course, that any scientific and statistical explanation that points at them being right must have been made up by them. What a moderate viewpoint.

Yeah this. Compared to BG1, PoE's combat at lvl 1-3 is amazing.

^ Yeah, this.

I've been dumping Con for my back line since the beta went live. And I'm not the only one who's been doing that. I'll take experience and the experience of others over your theories any day. In all fairness though, "*shrug* it works on my end" is probably not the answer Prime was looking for.

For some reason, I'm not surprised at all : ]

Hey it's the Internet. People snipe with snide remarks in a game of gotcha over knowledge of no direct practical relevance. I'd argue that knowing who certain influential feminist thinkers were does constitute as knowledge of direct (if not practical) relevance in a discussion about feminism, but ah well.

In all fairness, I'm not especially acquainted with her body of work either. Heard the name, but that's pretty much it.
