HOLD ON GUYS I'M POSTING ABOUT INTERNET ROBOTS

what videogames are people playing that are about why being a white man is bad? Like, right now I'm playing Dyson Sphere Program, Oxenfree II and Helldivers and while the latter is full of sledgehammer subtle satire about imperialism, it's not ABOUT that. Like, it's difficult to accidentally play a game with the themes that he's talking about, so just don't play them.

They've moved on from that as well. The new outrage target is a video from like 2021 where a dev lead says she hired specifically to create a safe working space. But they're conflating when that video came out and trying to say this is EA in 2024 hiring only black people or something.

I didn't watch it because you know it's edited to be maximum rage bait.

I heard about this, I just don't know where they're actually finding it. Like, big studio games do their best to not actually say anything about anything, so is the latest sound and fury about the notion there might be secret woke they haven't noticed?

Amazing. Presumably the counter argument to this is that the dev should have hired to create an oppressive hostile environment because those damned minorities have it too easy?

Is the Nation of Islam really out there making a lot of games? I mean they've GOT a hell of a setting, so much so that Everquest lifted the Erudites from them, but I don't think they've really got much of a videogame making arm.

The working environment has nothing to do with the quality of a product! You should hire in a way that ignores personality and ability to work together, because you're not trying to create a cohesive team or anything.

I really hope GamerGate 2 fizzles out soon because 1) GamerGate never really ended, and 2) instead of going after indie games, these losers are trying to convince people that incredibly successful games like Alan Wake 2, Spider-Man 2, and God of War Ragnarok were failures due to Big Woke.

See gently caress gamergate THIS is the drama content I crave. Gimme more dipshits who think they can get away with cheating in a community more obsessed with insane microscopic analysis of every last minuscule detail than particle physicists running a collider.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I was vaguely surprised to hear that Spider-Man 2 was part of the problem and it's not down to Miles like I thought but instead because MJ is an uggo.

I don't know why I feel the need to post this, but gamergate only got big because it somehow got the attention of mainstream media and people just seemed to take twitter more seriously in the 2010s. There won't be a gamergate 2 because elontwitter sucks poo poo and the guys trying to start it seem like a bunch of annoying freaks.

It got media/social media attention because the movement was explicitly going after games journalists as one of its primary targets, which naturally caused games journalists to... you know, write about it. In the news sources they were journalists for. Also on twitter because all journalists are way too online, but then again let he who is without sin and all that.

I feel like GG being a big deal required a certain...naivete that we are unlikely to ever regain again collectively. Large-scale coordinated harassment of people on the internet was still shocking and not just a day on Twitter.
