At some point they'll realise that SRS on reddit is stacked with former LF posters and the game will be up. The conspiracy will be exposed and the internet web points will flow freely again. *tips fedora knowingly*

I love how using the phrase "Social Justice Warrior" as a derogatory means you're pretty much a total shithead who doesn't want to have to reform your own misogyny, homophobia, racism, or whatever.

It's not about conspiracy nuts per se but as the conversation has moved this way I would love to share my favorite quote about the BROGAMERS vs FEMINISTS phenomenon:quote:It's hilarious because these people, the harassers, are fighting a completely losing battle and the spasms of hatred really are more like the twitches of a dying body than a coordinated response. They are suddenly out of their depth in a world they thought was created entirely for them, a masturbatory fantasy land they think they "own" because, apparently, women in gaming is a "new thing".

Well, it has to be said that many people doing the screeching about SJWs etc also have a visceral averse reaction to arty games and games as art. The critics and commentators currently being shouted at by these people are generally of the crowd of gamers who have been pushing the "games as art" thing. In any case, defining whether something is art by the medium is something that fell by the wayside in art circles decades ago.

I have no idea what that pastebinned thing is going on about. I was active in FYAD for a couple years when I first joined SA, and later Helldump and of course LF, so like, I feel like I should at least be familiar with it, having been active in all those places, but maybe it's just because I don't care about dumb internet drama.

Clearly you were just never invited to the secret club. The Real FYAD, the FYAD behind the FYAD. You were just part of a front, working the cash register at the door to the internet mafia's super secret hideout, thinking they were just a bunch of respectable (well, maybe not so much respectable) businessmen and nothing more. It's all a conspiracy, you see, and you're part of it even if you don't realize it!

platedlizard posted:It's a fandom thing, I think. I've seen similar behavior amount Supernatural fans who believe the two male leads in the show are lovers but the evil network is keeping them in the closet. Elaborate theories about how is he wears one color and the other guy wears a matching color they're totes together, etc. I'm only to season 3 of this on Netflix but this is the dumbest poo poo I think I've ever heard. Especially if they're referring to outfits Sam/Dean's actors wear on the show since even the plain clothes outfits are still going through other people in planning. Hodgepodge posted:I would conspire to make gamer culture into less of a shithole, so sign me up for the secret handshake I guess. Nothing short of Skynet will make this possible. While I can forgive gamers who get angry because they're really passionate about a game and it gets the better of them (like with sports fans breaking down when their team loses the big game), the level of self-entitlement I've seen from gamers is completely off the charts. Mix "the customer is always right"(no you aren't) with internet anonymity and add a dash of pure pettiness and you get a good reason for nuclear winter. Then again, you have people unironically calling themselves "brogrammers" and poo poo so I'm not holding my breath on gaming culture becoming less of a toxic shithole any time soon. Gaming companies don't call out their toxic players that much because it could be bad for their business. Or when they do it's mostly toothless instead of planting their foot directly on the throats of those people. GROVER CURES HOUSE posted:D&D would actually cure the latter fairly well.

The funny thing about the whole Supernatural situation is that the show has literally called those kind of people out and said that they're being super gross. At one point in the series the main characters learn that someone is writing "fictional" novels about their adventures and that it has a small crazy fanbase. They find out about the incest shipping and go on about how "They know we're brothers, right? That's gross."

Back in college I had an intestersting dicussion with a company at the Meteorology Career Fair at my University. They were specifically looking into weather control, and it was beyond weather modifcation via cloud seeding. But at least it was from a scientific sense of wanting to research how.

Blue Footed Booby posted:I don't follow. The type of SJW that actually identifies as such often intersects with anti-X extremism, up to and including calling for the death of whatever persons or groups they have deemed to be "the oppressor". This has included cissexual straight men, cis gay men, straight and/or gay people in general, trans people who don't hate cis people, trans people in general (there's a disturbing intersection between SJWs and TERFs), white people who do anything that's not part of "white culture" (which they claim doesn't exist), and anyone who dares to insinuate that their claims of having a flying Jack Russell Terrier headmate and of themselves being a reincarnated Japanese tortoise might be indicative of a mental illness. They also have a nasty habit of claiming that any bad thing said about them, or anyone they agree with, anywhere is "harassment", even if the negative statements were only said about them, not directed to them, and even if those statements were made on a forum/webpage they don't otherwise read and they had to be told the thread existed to even be aware that someone said something about them.

I take it you never saw the SJW thread where there were literally people saying that if you didn't hate cis people you weren't actually trans, including directing those comments at other trans people? Or that if you were actually trans and didn't agree with "transethnic" or "transspecies" people you were "truscum"? It's a real loving thing, and some of them send as many death/rape threats as the "cishet scum" they hate so much. The term "SJW" has gotten intrinsically linked with the screaming idiotic masses who co-opt actual oppressed minority struggles to try to validate their feelings of persecution whenever someone says "no, 'demiromantic' is a loving truism and not a special snowflake speck on the Kinsey scale". Actually, that's where poo poo gets funny - both sides of things like "Quinnspiracy" are practically Truthers. "Those posts were a false flag attack by feminazis" versus "Any outside question as to the validity of any evidence of harassment is automatically proof that the evidence is true because no one covers up the fake things".

quinnspiracy dudes are basically a nerdier microcosm of regular conspiracy theorists. a regular conspiracy theorist sees late capitalism being horrible, opaque, antidemocratic and unequal and blames the jews or illuminati or obama or the lizard people or whatever. #gamergaters see the the gaming industry making lovely videogames and deliberately misleading consumers and blame women, bloggers and self-indulgent indie developers.
