The people who talk about this are infinitely more insufferable than the actual members of Gamergate.

Also, Anita and Feminist Frequency have done more to harm feminism and its goals than GG ever did. Normal people give no shits about identity politics and its retarded goals. It makes her look like a clown to the average person.

Rainbow Unicorn posted:Video games aren't that important in the scheme of things and also this entire drama was silly as hell but otoh a bunch of actual women were actually driven out of their homes via tactics that would be punishable by prison time if only law enforcement took things that originate on the internet seriously. So idk, I get where people are coming from when they are dismissive of this entire situation because it's stupid as hell, but also, I'm a woman who plays games and occasionally creates a half finished pile of poo poo that could maybe one day be an okay indie game if I had an attention span longer than an average goldfish's, and part of why I don't pursue it more heavily is because a part of me thinks "oh well if I ever finished something and had to market it there's a non-zero chance hateful people would find my personal info and make my life a living hell." So I do other safer things instead, which is fine, but how many potentially cool games aren't being made because of this? who knows. What is your cool indie game that you can't make due to [unknown reasons] about?

So now it's about the police won't help privileged white women with 4chan trolls?

Attempted murder is now getting the cops called on you. This forum is sane.

Rainbow Unicorn posted:I guess that's true but I wish it wasn't. I've read a lot since gamergate started about how even stalking and harassment that doesn't originate online is treated kind of flippantly like "oh well we can't do anything unless you are actually hurt/murdered" and it makes me really angry actually, but I have no idea how you'd fix it or anything either. More police maybe? With a greater range of powers?

SedanChair posted:"Privileged white women" is code that only misogynists use to dismiss all feminism. Oh my bad. They aren't privileged. Or white. The people being harassed that is.

Sephiroth_IRA posted:Ehhh idk man I like feminism but it does seem to have become a hobby for the privileged. I get the impression Anita is probably more recognizable than Sandra Fluke. That's a little sad. Modern identity politics based feminism is inherently a privileged hobby

InvincibleMadHouse posted:the "rift on the left" is kind of an illusion. Young people pretty uniformly can't associate with movement conservatism because they lived through the Bush years. Won't stop them from being right leaning, but it subverts it into something different. In time the memory will fade and they'll pull the lever R despite either side's way with words. If they're so caught up in some "gamer identity" then they're gonna be garbage voters no matter what, and trying to salvage the glimmer of hope in their soul is ultimately fruitless. If mean ladies on the internet piss you off enough to disengage you from broader politics or vote for obviously evil fuckers you are in 90% disagreement with, then you weren't going to be anything but an embarrassment to whatever side you fell on anyway. Your line of thinking is why republicans control the house and senate.

The era of The Victim is the saddest moment in leftist politics.
