Fire Barrel posted:Are gamers so loving stupid they can't figure out that there are valid ways to criticize and debate poo poo without sounding like uneducated, misogynistic shitheads? Yes. My baseless theory is that because it's an entertainment industry and a lot of games have been designed around entitlement (streamlining, accessibility, one button mode) that some of them have been given exactly what they've wanted for many, many years. They've been given an expectation of being fulfilled. Fanboyism is still alive, and from the competitive nature of the games that most dudes play, the only form of debate they've sharpened was calling eachother gay faggots and killstealers and coming up with new ways of soliciting XxGoku420xX's mother for sex.

Danger Mahoney posted:how much you have going to zoe's cuck fund every month? 0. Patreon is stupid and everyone involved in this entire thing on every side is idiotic and deserves to be pointed at. When goons believe conspiracy scribbles from mentally damaged idiots instead of laughing at them, there's a problem and it distracts from the pointing. It's also not good when the conversation moves from 'hmm those ovens couldn't have possible burned all those people' to 'even if they did they should've known better lol'.

http://dangolding.tumblr.com/post/95985875943/the-end-of-gamersquote:First, a developer—a woman who makes games who has had so much piled on to her that I don’t want to perpetuate things by naming her—was the target of a harassment campaign that attacked her personal life and friendships. Campaigns of personal harassment aimed at game developers are nothing new. They are dismayingly common among those who happen to be women, or not white straight men, and doubly so if they also happen to make the sort of game that in any way challenge the status quo, even if that challenge is only made through their very existence. The viciousness and ferocity with which this campaign occurred, however, was shocking, and certainly out of the ordinary. This was something more than routine misogyny (and in games, it often is routine, shockingly). It was an ugly spectacle that should haunt and shame those involved for the rest of their lives. It's like impossible for someone to be this much of a fag. big duck equals goose fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Aug 28, 2014 |

Deki posted:She definitely doesn't have to fake any screenshots. I got a few dumbass threats for posting on SA that a lovely indie dev was poo poo a few years ago. Fanatical nerds are everywhere. You are full of poo poo if something like that really happened there would be a news article about it. It only took a couple hours to report on the threats Anita received. Link to news article and donation page or it didn't happen.

I dunno, in this battle of one-upsmanship about leaving houses, I think Anita is going to win because more people care about Anita and other than her boring videos she's a pretty regular person. Zoe isn't clever enough to keep up with Anita and her living situation is a sad piece of poo poo like she is, so Zoe probably couldn't WAIT to leave her house.

Erata posted:Yes. I guess, but it seems to be a bigger issue. I think the inability to debate or take criticism goes deeper than that. A lot of nerds, and actually many people that consider themselves net activists, have trouble accepting things like nuance and compromise, categorizing any divergent opinions as attacks or signs of being wrong. I think something about the instant feedback of the internet, coupled with entitlement and other stuff, may have helped shape this. Gamers are just an extreme example, as most games are indeed designed around entitlement/power fantasies, so it breeds that mentality in spades Honestly, I have a lot of niche hobbies, like playing games or actively enjoying history/working in archives, but if people talk poo poo about them, or don't place the same importance on them, I don't become an outraged mess.

The posters in this thread that think the obviously fake threats are real and actually believe Anita is in danger are detracting from the comedy of laughing at her shilling for donations and attention.

Can't we have some women involved in games who aren't causing all of this nonsense? Nobody sends Gail Simone death threats. I didn't even care about Sarkeesian until it became likely that she was actually a scam artist, and I only care about Quinn because I kind of hate what SJW's do and everything about them, but it's getting ridiculous, all the Internet critics have dived onto this train and now everyone's being lovely to girls online. I don't understand. I play video games, I don't hack people's poo poo and send them death threats or whatever. I don't know anyone who would do this. I can't believe that every complaint about this is a lie to generate sympathy, and I can't believe that the majority of gamers are complicit and active in doing this. I don't know what to believe anymore, except that both Quinn and Sarkeesian have failed to be actual agents of change or voices for the interests of women in their chosen fields, and have instead become either targets of mockery, disdain, and contempt. Sarkeesian manages to somehow keep her head above water, but is that really a good thing? Tim Schaefer please don't fellate her, Tim stop. now adam sessler is in it too why is everything i once loved getting sucked into the poo poo

Feminist 1: Hey, you know, I had a death threat sent to me on Tumblr. Feminist 2: Yeah, me too, I had three. Feminist 1: Yeah, well, uh, I had a rape threat on Twitter. Feminist 2: Twitter? Please, I had a man say he was going to rape me on the way into work today. Feminist 1: Well, I WAS raped on the way into work today. Feminist 2: I was raped AND beaten up. By TWO guys. Feminist 1: Well, that happened to me in the company lobby! Feminist 2: That happened to me just a few minutes ago! Feminist 1: That's happening to me right now! Therefore my struggle is worse. Donate to my Patreon. Feminist 2: No, donate to MY Patreon! Where the hell is that Tweet from that PBS nerd comparing me to Rosa Parks? Nobody question me until I retweet it. Man: Shouldn't you guys go to the cops and keep this private? Feminist 1: Shut up, pig! Apologize and donate or we're throwing you to our rabid followers who will rape and beat you with sick burn Tweets.
