Journalism and sexism in the games industry

[BruceVC]

 

Yknow something that just popped in my head...well didn't JUST pop in my head, but I feel it's worth pointing out now...

 

 

 

And I can guarantee you in another 3 months where we mark the 6 month anniversary of GG there still won't be any substantive changes that GG endeavours to achieve.

We've already accomplished one of three goals I care about within the video game portion of gamergate (crashing the mainstream media being an unrealistic and only slightly related 4th pipedream), you keep on saying that we haven't accomplished anything or that we won't accomplish anything, well, we're accomplishing the portions of the movement I care about just fine. So why do you keep on insisting we're never gonna accomplish anything when we already have?

 

 

Shallow if  I comment honesty I'll just end up offending people which is why I decided a while ago not to actively participate in this thread. Remember I have a responsibility to try to maintain a certain state of decorum as there are people like Volo who really look up to me and basically are guided by my comments. And the last thing I want to do is tarnish in anyway his almost perfect image of me

 

I really think I have said everything I have said about GG. So its best I only comment occasionally and leave this discussion to people who believe in GG

GG wins simply by gamers existing. If people like Bruce's buddies had their way I'd be dead. They threaten me with cold blooded pre mediated murder. They failed in their mission. I still live and am still playing games. NOTHING they do can stop me. It's INSTA win for all gamers.

Rotten Tomatoes thing for vidya.

 

Thoughts?

Metacritic with a different name?

My first thought exactly, with any luck they will figure out an algorithm that accounts for blinding rage when reviewing. Something like :

 

if (score == 0 && spellcheck_errors < 10 && profanities < 10) {

   actualscore = spellcheck_errors + profanities + score

 

};

What co-founder of Polygon has to say about a scientist who was part of successful mission to land a probe to a comet:

Why do these people feel the need to tear down men for the most bizarre reasons instead of, I don't know, actually interviewing Kathrin Altwegg who was part of this mission to land the probe? Is it really a ****ing shirt what's keeping women from science or is reporting like this that doesn't even mention successful women in science?

 

This is The Fine Young Capitalists all over again. This **** has to end.

Gamergate should totally do a kickstarter and ask for 500.000$ to do a handful of youtube vids.

Then deliver only a third of them 2 years later.

TN posted this earlier and what makes it funny is that the shirt was made for him by a female friend. Way to **** on a woman's work, how "progressive" of them.

 

As to the tearing down of men instead of highlighting the accomplishments of women, I honestly can't answer that. I too find it mind-boggling that rather than celebrate the accomplishments of women, these "progressives" would rather sling poop over minor things while ignoring the effort and success of women currently doing things. You would think the best way to having a more diverse (insert whatever industry or subculture here) would be to show women and minorities who have done well in (insert whatever industry or subculture here) instead of making (insert whatever industry or subculture here) seem like a dark place inhabited by people who are hostile towards women and minorities.

Yeah, they're after net neutrality again. Bunch of scumbags.

I've always hated Tomb Raider. Always.

Heretic!

 

I loved the original Tomb Raider game. One of the first games where I actually felt "immersed" in a world, with lots of free roaming exploring. *Exploring* being the keyword. It was also the first game I had that used my Orchid 3Dfx card

 

The level design, the blatant ripoff from Jurassic Park, the ancient South American settings, the ambience, it was bloody brillant.
