But that's exactly what I'm getting at. They'll super-analyze their online behavior, find some weird minor inconsistency, and declare it as proof that the whole thing is faked and these women aren't actually effected by harassment.

except a thorough analysis of a similar claim revealed not just some minor inconsistencies, but the whole thing to be fabrication. literally a lie, made up wholesale for financial gain.

also this isn't a minor inconsistency. sorry, but if you literally fear for your life (as in someone might kill you at any second) to the degree that you abandon your home, you don't tweet that poo poo first.

furthermore, a person on twitter has offered to donate $1000 to a charity of anita's choice if she posts the police report. no response yet.

When Dred Scott sued for freedom he was told his desires were a bunch of trivial bullshit. Slavery existed in the United States for nearly a century despite the existence of people who railed against it. Then there was another near-century of legal discrimination.

A lot of people in the north during the civil war didn't have any special affinity for the rights of black people either. Multiple white mobs in the north murdered the black people living among them out of resentment.

Key Difference: Slavery actually was a big deal. Unlike, for instance, people disliking aspects of some video games.

These superficial comparisons are dumb. "You called bullshit just like slavers did" is as stupid as "those feminists have an ideology and so did hitler"

You're trying to compare publishers/developers pandering to the group that is most likely to give them money to slavery, and trying to attribute it to industry-wide oppression of women/minorities rather than "teenagers might buy this call of duty clone, may as well put in some tits to seal the deal on this homogenized white guy shooter".

Your example would make SOME sense if publishers were purposely strong-arming stores into not selling games that go against their proven mold.

A lot of people who identify as gamers are extremely insecure and can't handle any kind of criticism of a product they like.

That's you, considering you just tried to compare slavery to video game bullshit. You god damned retard.

The internet is an endless font of stupidity therefore there will always be statements to cherry pick and dwell on for the sake of victimhood when actually having to explain your motivations and actions becomes inconvenient. If you spend your time neck-deep in a bunch of bullshit it's not hard to pretend like you're drowning.

If anyone is genuinely moving house due to a twitter shitstorm then they're a loving idiot. Either they think a bunch of fat neckbeards are actually going to come after them, or they're throwing a huge song and dance about their oppression over the noble cause of vidya games.

"Society's improved enough, no need to make any more changes" is a terrible opinion to have and usually owned by those who benefit from the status quo.

Dumb poo poo that pops up in video games and other media is a symptom of toxic attitudes that still remain and should be excised.

This video project will explore, analyze and deconstruct nothing important or relevant because the real cause we need to fight for are adolescent girls in the Middle East forced to marry men 50 years older than them. We should also be fighting the human trafficking and the organized prostitution forced on women in third world countries, such as Thailand and India. But apparently women in video games is the cause so many cunts are trying to take up. I don’t really need your help to make this happen, I just want to show off my tits and make money while I cry about how I’m getting bullied.

Maybe their online experience is limited to the social media that is meant to show your true identity like facebook and linkedin, and twitter accounts used for professional/real life purposes. Because outside of that, the internet is a cesspool and it has always been one thanks to user anonymity.

A head reviewer for polygon just cancelled plans they had with their family, left the city they are living in and made sure to inform their family to never reveal their locations online just incase.

a reminder that 4chan has spent the last few days exhorting people not to start poo poo at pax, not to harass people on twitter, not to doxx people, and to call out people that are doing so.
