BruceVC Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Video gamers stop your dreaming, can't you hear their outraged squealing. See their fascist agenda streaming, to this battlefield. From the threads resounding, let the call be sounding. Summon all at Sommer's call, the SJF's surrounding. Video gamers on to glory, this shall be your passtimes story. Keep these burning words before ye, you are all dead. Sorry, watched Zulu today. "Scrawny bespectacled pencil necks with weird hair, thousands of 'em." Nonek I may have misunderstood you but are you suggesting in other comments that you actually aren't heavily invested from a sympathy and support perspective with GG? In other words you aren't really on a " side" "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryy Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Now wait a minute! She brings up valid points like beating up women is bad and games should not condone violence, issues I had hitherto been thoroughly confused on. Video games should do whatever the hell they want. I disagree. This is a business, they are trying to sell a product. They should do whatever their consumers want. Indie developers have a lot more leeway, but they still have to think is terms of marketability at some point. Otherwise making games is just a hobby. If they want to make make money; then go ahead and do that. .... what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Namutree Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 .... what? I'll explain what I meant for those didn't understand what I meant. Video Game developers should create whatever game they want to create. Whether the focus is to make money or just create something cool should be up to them. Developers don't need SJW's trying to pressure them into creating a game based on the values they are currently promoting. 2 "Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking. I use blue text when I'm being sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ineth Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 http://www.spectator.co.uk/columnists/james-delingpole/9322382/why-i-love-grand-theft-auto-v-and-the-feminazis-hate-it/ OK, James Delingpole is a polemicist who loves nothing more than getting in the faces of the liberal left (he has his faults - this isn't one of them) but he makes some interesting points as a fresh pair of eyes on this affair. Some quotes from the piece... Gaming is the last bastion, the Helm’s Deep of freedom of expression. So... Rather than getting rid of the infestation of left-wing culture warriors in games journalism, we caused right-wing culture warriors to also start seeing gaming as a battleground for their culture wars? That's... balance, of a sort, but I think not what most of us were hoping for. 1 "Some ideas are so stupid that only an intellectual could believe them." -- attributed to George Orwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineth Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 http://techcrunch.com/2014/09/25/gamergate-an-issue-with-2-sides/ That's a great article, thanks for sharing. +1 This may be the best moderate pro-#gamergate leaning article yet. Thus it nicely complements the articles by Forbes' Erik Kain, who is leaning towards the anti-#gamergate side but also makes an effort to remain fair and reasonable. PS: Also, I'm going to follow this article's lead and start to drop the term "Social Justice Warriors" in favour of "culture warriors" -- because it is ...wait for it... more inclusive! Btw here are my favourite quotes from the article (formatting added): Critics of GamerGate argue that the revolt is nothing more than a pushback against a ‘broader’ audience. They say it’s anti-diversity, anti-inclusive. Most often, we hear it’s ‘toxic’. [...] The problem with this narrative is that it mistakes opposition to culture warriors with opposition to diversity. It mistakes a disdain for ideology with a disdain for inclusivity. Gamers will always welcome new people and new ideas with open arms. What they will not welcome is a Thompson-like war for cultural hegemony, regardless of whether it comes from the left or the right.

Monte Carlo Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Anita is just the 21st Century version of Jack Chick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_T._Chick). Jack had religion, Anita has feminism. Those evil games are pushing people off the path of righteousness and must be controlled!

Longknife Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Did Anita just Tweet that? Sounds like a desperate counter to #GG. Very conspiratorial too with the games will corrupt you angle.

Shallow Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 No they are about experiences now. I'm from the patriarchy and I approve this message. Games are all about fun atm they need to rethink what these negative tropes are doing to the consensus about gender, no modern games portray women as inferior beings and the slaves of men, they're pushing the feminazism to our young. No games let you play as a man running a global secret world controlling organization trying its hardest to undermine women through video games, propaganda, and third world military coups. Most games don't even acknowledge the patriarchy's existance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 That message from Anita is plain old fashion stupid. As someone else has mentioned, that's EXACTLY what Jack Thompson claimed and EVERYONE basically threw him and his opinion in the trash. The same should to her opinion. Bottom line is violence has gone DOWN since video games have become more popular. People like her and Jack are all about slavery, power, and control. They are evil to the core. 4 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
