Journalism and sexism in the games industry

In other news, Jonathan McIntosh recently exposed a hashtag claiming to be in support of the victims of France's recent attacks of actually being about white supremacy: https://twitter.com/adrianchm/status/554782185413439489/photo/1

 

 

 

Thanks McIntosh. Where would we be without your guidance?

He truly is just an awful person. "Je Suis Charlie" has nothing to do with race. It's about freedom of speech. Not to mention not all who were killed were white.

 

And to no surprise also Gawker continues to be **** : http://i.imgur.com/herTaGK.jpg

May the flames of Gawker's entire server structure rekindle the hopes of justice of any free man.

Quote from the article Gawker published about Charlie Hebdo: "Surely journalists should at least try to take some responsibility for how bigoted, ignorant people "take the joke"."

 

Oh, is that what good journalists should do, Gawker? Take responsibility to for what they publish and how their actions are perceived? Take responsibility for what, for example, "a hate group" would do because of the things they publish?

 

Also, that FemFreq tweet is absolutely awful. Arthur Chu tweeted something similar recently, too. And they call #GamerGate the "hate group". The gall of these people.

 

Oh well, at least BasedGamer.com managed to get funded in time. Wonderful! Baby steps.

It also looks like that 8chan is back(as 8ch .net) and KiA has over 24k sea lions now.

I just love TotalBiscuit's sardonic tone. What is the deal with 8chan btw? You cannot just remove a site without due process.

 

 

What does ICANN think of this hoopla?

I don't know, but there is a ****storm brewing. 8chan/baphomet/ is apparently the new old 4chan/b/ and they haven't been pleased that someone has been DDOS:ing and whatnot their new playground.

Don't think McIntosh is supporting the killers,  the whitelivesmatter thing doesn't even work though - standing up for Hebdo means you...what, don't care about Boko Haram's rampage shortly afterward?

 

What's funny is, I doubt his activism leaves a touchscreen.

Holy ****, that's a pretty awesome twitter rant by Based Biscuit.  My favorite part was:

 

 

"Won't someone please think of the feelings of the extremists?"

Isn't /Baphomet/ the homebase of anon? Dear lord, this will end with something illegal happening and a big media blow out...and not in a good way.

I know it's not literally what he said but my interpretation (and since he's a postmodernist douche, my experience is all that matters) of his tweets is a very clear "I am not Charlie because they had it coming."

Actually, they have the domain back, but Hotwheels likes 8ch.net moar.

So he's arguing they deserved it because how they presented themselves? I wonder where I've heard a similar argument...

Hm ok, I was just willing to give him (and most people) benefit of the doubt before marking them as being backhanded terrorist fans :lol:  I have no doubt he may think that though, it is a line one has to walk when trying to disagree with the JeSuisCharlie stuff (f**king hashtags...)

Can someone explain this "Baphomet" business to me?  I don't frequent 8chan, 4chan, or any other chan, so I have no clue what anyone is talking about.

It's users from old /b/ who enjoy doxing and stuff. Best to avoid.

Is it something like the seedier crevices of Something Awful?

Implying defamation of a group ?  Broken Sword taught me that was used to condemn the Templars.

I suppose they're somewhat similar to SA goons.

Hah! Something Awful is My Little Pony land compared to places like /b/.

Dang.  Most of Something Awful is harmless with people just poking fun and such, but there are dark corners of that place where folks don't just joke about stuff, they're into that stuff for real.  Some real sick people in those dark corners.  If /b/ is much worse than that, then I shudder to think about that.

Niche Gamer second interview with Christian Allen

 

 

NG: You mentioned the only game that should be censored is one that steals copyrighted content. Do you still hold firm in that statement, in regards to sexual/titillating games, ultra violent ones (like Hatred), etc?

 
CA: Absolutely. Censorship is poison, regardless of the target. Of course, that also applies to people voicing their opinion. If someone wants to declare that a particular piece of content is racist, sexist, etc., they can do that all they want. But I get to decide what kind of content I get to experience. Not someone else. It they want to make a game that looks like some schizophrenics sick fantasy, have at it. I’m not gonna buy it, but a lot more people will because of the “controversy”.
