Journalism and sexism in the games industry

Longknife: He's expert at trolling people, and generally an ****. But his articles are well written.

 

 

Fair enough. I just didn't quite see eye to eye with the Glenn Beck comparison because a totally intolerable ass can still make good logical points.

 

Then there's Glenn Beck, who could potentially be clinically insane in some way.

He's trolling/joking, right?

He's got a bit of a point on that one. Some of the best games aren't so much "fun" as they are engaging. I doubt he means that, though.

 

I can bet he means:

 

- "Socially enlighting"

- "Socially concious"

- "Didactic"

- "Norm Critical"

 

You know, that kind of preachy game that punishes the player directly or indirectly through shameful dialogues.

His definition of fun was something something toxic masculinity. I'm not even joking.

The thought process behind it was something along the lines of fun = power. Meaning that fun was something that privileged males had when they felt powerful and the antithesis of that was males feeling uncomfortable. Just another branch of the good old Marxist ideology of let's hate the white guy.

 

Disclaimer: as a Hispanic man I give all whiteys full permission to feel outrage.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

Wasn't he half-white, and half-hispanic?

"Good thing I don't heal my characters or they'd be really hurt." Is not something I should ever be thinking.

I llove how even 'anti gamergaters' are often attacked for innocent comments. The problem is many 'anti gamergaters' originally have that stance because they  see the insta label of gamergate = sexist rapist murderers who are zombie dead so of coruse they are gonna say no that is bad. But, the moment they dare try to actually read/research/take part they go ahhhhh gamergaters aren't the evil ones. It's the sjws who are the evil nazi scumbags.

Wasn't "their" Vivian created by /pol/ as a troll-attempt? Because this 'LilianWoods' argues like one as well.

Related. Co-chair of IGDA Women resigned because IGDA hosted sexist parties, essentially. True patrons of diversity, those guys.

 

EDIT: Did you see Ernest W. Adams' comment in the comment section to the article you linked? "You were a critic of our system before you joined, so all your criticism of how it was when you were there is invalid," the man is a two-faced snaked.

Like I said I guess I really need to review my stance on projection as a psychological concept....

I think antis created their own Vivian and /pol/ too saw the Aryan ideal and created Polina.

A sequel here behind the link for profanity:

 

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B3hZMu3CEAEFJz0.png:large

 

Claire Schumann left twitter after a string of bullying related to this, deactivating her account, a literal example of a woman being bullied off the internet by misogynist threat culture... coming from GamerGate opponents.

 

And then a third part:

Congratulations, GG opponents. You have proven that there is a toxic misogynist culture online. And you're the perpetrators. I am absolutely sick of this and I have reported every single one of Randi Harpers tweets as cyberbullying.

So here's what I'm curious about:

 

Why do so many anti-GG proponents blatantly ignore stuff like this? Certainly a large chunk of their community are misguided individuals who simply want equality for everyone. Why do those same individuals blindly follow authority or the group without question?

 

 

I know someone like that. My grandfather. He was a Nazi. C:   (actually true too, every portion of it. Dude literally has no will of his own and will blindly follow any order. Pretty sad and pathetic)

"The Courier was the worst of all of them. The worst by far. When he died the first time, he must have met the devil, and then killed him."
