The experience over the years
of nothing getting better
only worse.
i found a journal article, unfortunately named Hypermasculinity & Dickwolves: The contentious role of women in the new gaming public, which outlines #gamergate like 2 years before it happened

A. Salter and B. Blodgett posted:

Women within the hardcore gaming public are given tightly bound roles to play and punished for stepping outside of them (Herring, 1999; Taylor, 2006). As other authors have shown, these roles include the woman as sex object, exemplified by booth babes and services that offer virtual ‘‘dates’’ with attractive girl gamers, and women as invisible, jokingly erased through memes like ‘‘There are no women on the Internet’’ or purposefully through self-sublimation of feminine identifiers (Herring, 1999; Taylor, 2006; Taylor, 2012). The third role for women is that of the enemy. This article examines one incident within the gaming publics which clearly brought forth the framing of woman as enemy. Through out the Dickwolves incident, women who spoke out were belittled, verbally assaulted, and harassed from many areas within the hardcore gaming public. From the explicit creation of teams to oppose female voices, the reduction or removal of safe spaces for women to participate in the dominant public, and deliberate reframing of discourse to avoid common ground, women, or feminine supporting others, were made to feel ostracized and unwelcome within the bounds of spaces owned by the dominant public.

In a recent opinion piece, Leigh Alexander (2012) examines the resentment towards the ‘‘hipster developer’’ within gaming development. As Alexander states,

quote:

[ ... ] this group, accustomed to being marginalized as ‘‘geeks,’’ wants to keep its club pristine [ ... ] They had to develop their own society with its own laws in order to feel safe and empowered. Now here we are in the democratic Internet age, an info-overloaded digital world where anybody and everybody gets access to everything and anything, and the boundaries of a secret world get harder and harder to draw.
When online communities engage in contentious discourse about the shared rhetorical identity, some level of anger, frustration, and bitterness is expected. Given the expansion of the gaming community beyond traditional hardcore genres (Juul, 2010), it is not surprising that this contention currently centers on defining identity boundaries within the gaming public, particularly as those coded as outsiders appear to be trying to wrest control of those definitions.

the only complaint i ahve about ff7 is that the climax isn't as tightly constructed of a set piece as the runway scene in 6

but it's got so many loving ridiculous moments that it succeeds for entirely different reasons

not at pax, they sold them on the website and then banned the shirts from pax afterwards and pulled the shirts from the store

for a minute it looked like they learned their lesson and then they did a q&a a year or two ago at pax and khoo asked them what they thought their biggest mistake w/r/t PA was

gabe said pulling the shirts

because he's a loving idiot
