Journalism and bias in the gaming industry

[Meshugger]

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd suspect (but don't know) that the argument would be something like this:

*Western society approves aggressiveness and outspokenness in men but discourages it in women

*Women are trained in western society to not question authority or to stand up for themselves

*therefore society respects and responds to an assertive male, but not an assertive female

*therefore men negotiate better than women because this is what society thinks is acceptable; women will be seen negatively if they negotiate and are trained by society not to negotiate

 

Also, since Sad Puppies was brought up here, George R.R. Martin on Puppygate/Sad Puppies:

I would say this is accurate, but I also believe this is more a problem outside Western countries. 

 

 

I do not see this changing before we change human nature. My guess? give it about 10 to 20 generations after women do not have monopoly on childbirth.

 

//edit: Hopfeully Martin will channel that sadness into finishing his books. Where's my Winds of Winter?!

And if you are a woman who plays vidya, I guess it's internalized misogyny or something.

Or you wanna be raped.

Or you too want to rape other women.

Or you're drunk.

 

Whichever suits the patriarchy the best.

Thanks Tumblr.

 

I'm calling shenanigans on this one.  Every object on the screen has artifacts surrounding them and the name is (rather conveniently) blacked out so no one can go to tumblr and see the original (if it were to exist).

 

I'd think if it were a legit screenshot it'd actually look like a screenshot (and why would you want to block the name from view if you're either promoting or decrying the opinion?)

Interesting so it does seem to be legitimate  but I have issue that she thinks this type of comment is tantamount to someone being a " non-radical " feminist 

 

I actually find her comments offensive 

 

All I can say is " guys don't pay this type of vitriol any attention", its tripe and will create unnecessary consternation

I stand corrected.  But that is one bad graphic (I guess they wanted to take the tumblr text and make it look more like a tweet or something).

Reading through the tumblr, I think that's the point.

I'm surprised you stand corrected too cause you raised good points about the text. But wtf.

I'm stuck at work, haven't played video games in over 14 hours.  Urge to rape rising.  Dunno how much longer I'll be able to control myself.

Report to your local Patriarchy safehouse where you can thrust your toxic masculinity into a female who the Patriarchy is currently internalizing their misogyny in.

Thanks KaineParker, for being there during my time of need.  I was on the verge of raping every coworker in sight.  I may need to get me a 3DS or *shudder* start playing some mobile games on my phone to try to avoid another one of these attacks coming on.

 

Edit:  Now that I think about it, Video Game Deficiency Induced Rape Urges, VGDIRU for short, is a serious and crippling condition.  I should open up a Patreon so that people can give me money to help keep me stocked with a steady supply of video games and video game hardware.  I mean, you don't want me going around and uncontrollably raping, do you?  Really, the money wouldn't so much be going to me as toward the benefit of the public at large and their safety.  I'm doing everyone a service by trying to control my VGDIRU.

Store you rape urges, we will unleash them in a few years time, when the Patriarchy seizes open control of the world! The we will go into space and rape the stars themselves!*

Ok, were getting into weird territory. Do you guys mind keeping the discussion clean, please?

Why does Rape Horse look like Anthony Kiedis?

Wow, hostility and rape humor.  This is a real classy crowd.

Not sure it's the crowd in here, so far one guy has posted it and generally people seem disapproving.

I find the practice of female genital mutilation more offensive than a drawing of "Rape Horse".

I'm not sure of the relevance of that point KP because I dont see people making a mockery and dismissing female genital mutilation on these forums?

You mean you don't like rape horse?

 

That's horsist dude.
