it's a great bitter screed by one of america's most prominent feminist activists about how the cultural relativism, introspective wankery and dismissal of truths in post-modernism shows that its a neo-liberal reactionary movement designed to maintain the patriarchal status quo by turning cultural analysis into ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ instead of empiricism and effective activism

so it's a second-waver getting angry about the third wave or what

i mean, i agree with what you just posted, but i don't see how this is pertinent to what you quoted initially

we're seeing a reaction towards postmodernism and some deeply unpleasant trends are prominent in it, was my point. so on one hand you have people like zizek, who's in a way the most prominent champion of intellectual, progressive, antipomo, and on the other hand you have the New Atheist movement which have basically resorted to old-school logical positivism to get away from it

Basically I'm saying that yeah my side is dumb, but people with homestuck headmates and demisexual otherkin are still better than child molesters and serial rapists, which the pro-gamergate side both has and defends

constructing a personal identity from the media you consume is postmod as gently caress

yes, but that's not the point of what the gamergaters are trying to do, they're trying to break a discourse in which critique of those identities is encouraged over the production of an alternate identity

i mean, they exist under postmodernism as well, so that identity is necessarily going to be formed under its conditions, but they do try to confront one of the central currents within it, which is the primacy of analysis over synthesis re: social phenomena

what gamergate are doing isn't really defending the "gamer" identity, they're attacking the premise that identities ought to be the focus of any political or quasi-political action, and in so doing attempting to reassert their privileged position in a certain niche which is currently under attack from the angle that the products ought to reflect the varied identities and experiences of people playing them, rather than taking one (dominant in some sense) perspective as the default and going about its business with that

what i'm saying is, pomo is often bad but there are worse things and it's generally not wrong

the problem with backlash is that it's inherently reactionary. we need to move past post-modernism, and that involves engaging with it somehow. we can't just pretend it never happened, though

Lol

So back when Gamergate was in full swing, this pro-GG dude makes a big deal about starting up his own, censorship-free totally games journalism ethical game review site
And the first thing he reviews is this flash-based hentai game where you can turn into a centaur and grow a bunch of penises and that kind of thing

The icing on the cake tho is that the creators of the hentai game later said in an update on their front page that they would like to make it clear that they did not support GamerGate

it's hard to argue with that, although i think pomo in relation to say, history and gender is useful as long as you don't take it to its logical conclusion (we can never know the past, why bother writing history idiots lol) which might just be me unwilling to commit to one position or the other empiricism completely but that's what i do
