sjw is someone who spends more time yelling angrily and attacking others than actually doing anything constructive about important social issues

for some reason people have become obsessed with trying to 'reclaim' the word and use its existence as an excuse to never actually address arguments attached to the phrase

It is probably because people started just using everything they didn't like and it watered down until it became more culture-war poo poo. It isn't like most of the people using it now actually give a poo poo about social issues anyway.

Now let's reconcile the fact that all these social butterfly day walker gamer+rs and journalists involved in this buy and use cocaine which goes straight towards organizations chopping off peoples limbs. lol now watch as we wag our fingers at tween boys and shut-ins for tweeting that samus is sexy! you're on the wrong side of history!

this is why i switch off when misogyny gets used in the context of simple ol' sexism or ignorance

diluting a word intended for hatred and deliberate belittlement of women is a pretty far loving cry from some horny dude drawing his girl in a bikini

So let me get this straight, "gamers are dead" is a meme now because a bunch of agenda driven gaming writers have agreed to say so? That's a pretty myopic, self deluded world, right there. What's the end game here? Just because more women are buying the Kardashian game or Candy Crush or whatever doesn't mean the rest of a multi-million dollar industry is going to vanish just because a bunch of sjw writers wish it.

At the end of the day this is all about money, just like everything else in this world. Gaming journalists aren't the sharks of this enterprise, they're those sucker fish attached to them. They don't generate the money or create the content, they leach onto scraps that the content providers feed them. They've deluded themselves into thinking that they have some kind of moral captaincy in an industry that involves moving pixels of light. Thought leaders don't consistently give 9.5s and 9.6s to lovely games made by the same people that give them money for advertising. The delusion of this insulated bunch is both difficult to behold and hilarious to watch.

do you seriously think these "journalists" have any self-awareness or real intelligence? most of these "journalists" think they are smart because they got a fancy-rear end college degree in whatever form of cultural marxism is popular these days

Nah, I just think you have finite and cliquish group of people who have mistaken their own myopic subculture as something relevant and beneficial for the rest of the world. And that is hilarious.

The best part is they still have those articles linked right next to the lip service on ads right next to it lol.

There are no women in TF2 so only equality has been raped.
Which is not a crime in the US.

The real question is how many hours of League of legends do you have logged in and how many female champions do you own?

Please refer to this list:

One kill of a male player = 0.10 rapes
One kill of a female player = 0.50 rapes
The domination of one male player = 0.25 rapes
The domination of one female player = 1 rape
In Multi-kills the difference between male victims and female victims is the amount of rapes

Balls.
Why are they making this worse for themselves at every opportunity?

The news first breaks. It starts being posted. You can allow it or delete it. It might be bad if the former happens but the internet doesn't pay attention to anything longer than a day, no one will know outside of 4chan if the latter happens. They choose to allow it, but delete all comments so it hits the front page of one of the biggest sites on the internet with everyone wondering 'What's this topic about, why does it have 20,000 deleted comments?'. People who wouldn't have cared now care because that's not normal, and everyone loves a good Streisand Effect. Let the internet know something is taboo and they never let it go.

Then a bunch of journalists come together and start gamer-shaming at the same time and suddenly everyone starts looking at them. If they had all just kept quiet the whole mess would have avoided them entirely, but now people are connecting the dots between those journalists and everyone already involved in the mess and it's so much worse for all of them.

:psyduck: Why are they doing this to themselves? Do none of them have a PR guy? They're stoking the fires and it's not in their best interest to do so.
