Journalism and sexism in the games industry
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Tale's topic in Way Off-Topic
I think Leigh's statements are more confusing than the chart. -

I must not be very smart, because I can't make head or tail of this flow chart one bit...where does it start, why isn't everything connected, what's going onFor a flow chart, it certainly doesn't seem to flow. That chart, the wage gap and the 1 in 5 women will be raped, makes me believe that feminism and statistical analysis don't mix well. Of course they don't, women can't grasp statistics, correlation or causation. Interestingly, one of the sexiest women I know is an economist/statistician. :D Have you checked if she is a woman? She must be trans. -

I refuse to feel sympathy for a Pisces.

But here(and in all honesty I feel less close to you guys than I do with my brothers at Bleeding Cool) there is some form of closeness. I would not recognise Monte Carlo or Walsingham if I saw them, but I feel I know them pretty well from interactions on this forum. In real life, I don't know most of the people well enough to care deeply. And we could all be faking empathy. I have a sneaking suspicion that the same force these forums emit to draw in lawyers also attracts sociopaths as well.

Sure. I would even agree with you on that, and blame it largely on Publishers being lazy. What ideas do you have for changing the situation? -

Both those operate in the real world. Internet is chaos. So for internet based consumer revolt no leader is needed. But The Leader of Gamergate has spoken! -

I feel like we've ventured in to Htrae. It seems less than a decade ago right-wing fellows like Jack Thompson were the ones going after gaming. Now the authoritarian left is making similar arguments as Thompson and is being supported by gaming press. Are environmentalists going to start arguing for more oil drilling soon? -
There was a drop in empathy 5 months after it was created? Or did you mean carried over from BIS? It might have been worse over there. We delighted in each others misery IIRCI lived on Misery, then some lady chopped off my foot when I wrote a book she didn't like.

There's an AMA up on KotakuinAction with a feminist that is going well. -

Let's be honest, isn't almost everything that isn't porn a flamewar between oversensitive people? -
I've realized something is very wrong with this poll: no David Bowie.

I think someone here posted a tumblr where the author stated he found the concerns of gamergate being about individual accountability. A good read, and frankly describes the reactions to this stuff perfectly. The opponents of gamergate seem focused on groups while supporters are focused on individuals. As it is, a large problem with the narrative pushed by the media is that they have no identifiable targets to pursue. I suppose they could go after Erik Kain, TotalBiscuit, or Boogie, but none of those fellows have said anything approaching controversey(in fact they've been civil and have called for civility) and have been ignored. Targeting ganergate as a whole rather than the individuals behind the heinous acts is just going to make them seem like **** in the eyes of us who just want more ethical journalism and don't want to be lumped in with every troll who is harassing someone. -

I'm ashamed to admit it took me a while to realize what was so funny. -

That was actually fairly insightful. I do think a large portion of ganergate supporters want to see personal responsibility for actions rather than shifting the burden onto the group as a whole. I would personally file that line of thinking under ethics myself, but I can see the writer's point and have to wonder if we should be having conversations about accountability seperate from conversations of ethics. -

Oh my god, there will be even more Supernatural? Please god, if you exist then let this tv show finally die. It has become so, so bad. God isn't listening, we should find a new one that will rid the world of Supernatural. I vote Thanos. -
I remember the day of 9/11 the dude that sat next to me on the bus said he saw a plane flying into a building on TV. I'm not sure if he was talking about a movie or if he say the twin towers get hit, but it was surreal as hell and one of the few things I can remember clearly in my pre-teen childhood. Who is a fan of boiled everything?

That's nice Bruce, but I don't see how it's related to this. This thread is the closet thing to a current SJ discussion we have and I didn't want to start new thread just to raise this You could try the Capitalism v. Socialism thread we had a while back. I would rather not take the chance of you guys missing out on my post I assure you we would probably end up looking. We are all insomniacs after all. -

It'll just become a never ending argument about whether or not the nazis were socialists. Every argument eventually leads back to Nazis or Communists, without fail. Gamergate has been outed as a fascist mob by the fine reporters bloggers of Gawker, all that remains is to be marshaled by our fuhrer Ian Miles "Hitler is my ****ing idol" Cheong. -
