I'm going to be completely serious for a moment: the fact that all these people, over all these sites, have actually turned the very concept of being nice and inclusive into a tool to insult and dehumanize people who have different beliefs than them is insanely, brutally cool.

Eventually developers will have to challenge the consumer with critical thinking. Eventually the video game medium will need a radical movement or drastic shift that changes our perspective on games. It has been on that verge for a while with games like Spec Ops and The Walking Dead showing just how much of an impact a game can leave when you challenge the audience. Even that small scene in Modern Warfare with the nuclear strike left a memorable imprint in the minds of its players. At this point, it should have been the developers and the industry that challenged gamers (ugh), not the other way around.

It's like a man with a dozen swords in his back going "HAHA I'VE GOT YOU RIGHT WHERE I WANT YOU" as he coughs up a lung. It's already gone from "angering" to "funny" and is now ticking steadily towards "sad".

If you are a girl and you play video games, I am going to harass you both sexually and metasexually*. *The word metasexual is based upon the premise that the physical body, the physical world, and the physical act of sex are illusions. This word refers to the hidden fields of sexuality that are above and beyond the physicality of sexual nature and activity. The coming together and co-mingling of two energetic magnetic bodies for the purpose of metasexual activity will inherently be perceived in the physical world only as a physical act or random spontaneous movements, increased breathing, random vocalization and intonation. However, the two energetic fields that involved in the experience of this connection will perceive it as something spiritual, emotional, physical, and utterly life changing. These individuals will no longer be satisfied with sex purely on a physical level, as their consciousness is transformed and awakened to something higher and deeper both within themselves and the core of humanity. These individuals will make better choices concerning potential partners, and will change their behaviors effortlessly to ones that are more conducive to peaceful and loving relationships.

We're not going to just shoot the sons-of-bitches, we're going to rip out their living Goddamned guts and use them to grease the treads of our tanks. We're going to murder those lousy gamer/SJW cock suckers by the bushel-loving-basket. War is a bloody, killing business. You've got to spill their blood, or they will spill yours. Rip them up the belly. Shoot them in the guts. When shells are hitting all around you and you wipe the dirt off your face and realize that instead of dirt it's the blood and guts of what once was your best friend beside you, you'll know what to do!

It's kinda weird. /v/ as a whole is more or less totally past Zoe and is completely zeroed in on the journos. They really wanna go after them, as opposed to this thread, which is focusing more on Zoe 'cause that's where the  is.

Guys, I just heard the news. 0.00001% of the people who play video games said mean things on the internet and now companies are no longer going to make video games for 20-something white males. RIP rear end Creed Bro.

Pretty much. It's not even media, I've had people get mad as hell at me in the past because I don't like cheese. But sticking with the other media-consuming snobs, imagine the reaction from trying to censor Quentin Tarantino or something.

How does any of this relate to deep philosophy in video games? All the SJW-arguments are about pretty surface level stuff. People might agree or disagree. But nothing's all that mind-bendingly complex about it.

Zoe purposely misrepresented their policies long past the point of good faith so she could call the organization transphobic and exploitative and sic her twitter army on it. And then when TFYC tried to tell their side of the story, they were shut out by every gaming journo site. She basically tried to get it shut down so it wouldn't steal any thunder from Rebel Game Jam.

Basically TFYC has a trans policy where a MtF transwoman has to have publicly come out as trans before a curtain date (they don't have to have surgery, just have stated that they are MtF). This apparently is done by every major trans organization to keep out dudes who just want to get the prize money by pretending to be trans. Zoe took this as transphobic and wouldn't stop screaming.
