Y'know, I've been thinking, games really aren't about having fun--fun's a poisonous priority, what we really need are games that explore socio-ecomonimic differences between genders, and feature self-empowered princesses who destroy their own monarchies and establish democratic states in largely bloodless fashions. The only ones hurt are those MEN those FILTHY loving MEN

I went to journalism school to be a games journalist, then discovered that real journalism is actually, y'know, a job and not playing video games for a living.

My hopes and dreams were crushed and so I just slammed bitches and dropped acid and drank vodka for 4 years.

The social media people that just do stuff like some game company's twitter for a living are the worst by far. They're the ones barely doing anything, get indoctrinated in all the SJW silliness, and spread it like an STD.

I think the thing that bothers me most about that open letter is that it's a message everyone already agrees with (don't harass other people), and it blatantly ignores their own side was doing an equal amount of harassing to the people they villified. People on the gamer side got death and rape threats too. The way it passively aggresively implies one side is favor of the lovely behavior and one side had nothing to do with it is really like a metaphor for how their journalism integrity played out.

It'd be like if I was in an argument and just all the sudden went "well let's not like murder me over this or anything" and then just started nudging nearby people asking them to agree with me over how it would be inappropriate if the guy who disagreed with me murdered me over my opinion.

haha about all the games bloggers who think this will blow over - 5 years time any piece of poo poo indie game they have any connection to is going to get down voted and harassed to hell with links to this shitfest. I don't think they have any idea just how far 4chan will take this. All it takes is one person to notice Derek Smart or Adam Goldstein etc has popped their bloated head up somewhere on the internet and the dogpile begins.

I mean nothing in the open letter is really something you should disagree with. It's just don't harass and threaten people you disagree with over video games. That's why it's such a low risk move, they can just pull the anita defense and whenever someone tries to criticize them for other valid things turn around and say "gamers can't even accept something simple like this!!!!".

i suspect the list is just "all japanese companies" because most of them are too busy trying to keep their business afloat while the market slowly disappears to actually worry that someone was offended by a crossdresser in their game or whatever.

actually i think japan in general doesn't have much time for feminism and social justice as they watch their population slowly shrink and their global relevance disappear.

Nope. Still not okay, regardless of ethnicity. The point in highlighting Sarkeesian's/Jontron's ethnicity was to knock down the insinuation that POC aren't being harassed, or that there's no ethnic bent to the problem.

Look, don't be obtuse. Raging about this open letter is admitting that you're a cartoon-caricature villain. It's a rhetorical trap, and if "gamers" want to be poop flinging monkeys then it's really easy to come out against this and say that you support harassing people. Yeah, it's easy for people to support this open letter because it should be painfully obvious that harassment is unacceptable. Trying to divert the goal of that open letter to try to talk about cucking just proves their point further.

Maybe gamers should start an open letter about how harassing them is inappropriate and needs to stop except that would be passive aggressive and dumb just like when the other side is doing it.

Reddit and 4chan are very outspoken about their do not harass individuals policies in this. The open letter is just another disengenous way to play the victim.
