The great GamerGate discussion. (Stuff and things)

@Commune  
Well of course someone named Commune would side with the full-blown Commie… ;)

@Background Pony #BE6E  
Uh, should someone tell him or should I ?

The green text is the exact reason why I can’t fucking stand feminism, especially in gaming
 
Journos hated her, because they didn’t make her. A company fires her for a lackluster dweeb with a massive ego, completely throws away her script saying his is better with shoe-horned “Muh srtongz femel of the colored!” and yet everyone else is the sexist, racist ones.
 
I stopped playing Uncharted 4, because the story was so bad. This women is out to kill them, yet all of sudden Drake wants to HELP her, and then they can’t even commit to a black female villain. You might as well of had Drake wearing an #ImWithHer T-shirt one and a FemFrew pin. At least then I would have known to stay away.

@Turkeynomster  
I still consider trowing world Marxist at any leftist is like using fascist/nazi when refering to disliked right wingers.

@Commune  
It’s basically a story that is already happening and is a likely possibility, if not slightly exaggerated, on where the world is headed. Prophetic and relatable science fiction is remembered more than something completely off base.
 
In terms of the outrage, Zoe and the rest might have used his 3-years old tweet on Gamergate as the prequisite for calling the developer out, but the catalyst was that an indie dev was going off script. One of the major problems that Gamergate brought up was how there was an inside clique of people within the industry, who had connections to games journalists. Those journalists would in turn simultaneously black list any developer that the clique didn’t approve of and make up any excuse to do so. The whole scenario is a convoluted, conspiratiorial mess, but its contents are not fabricated, either.
 
@Cyborg_pony  
There is an overlap of ideologies, but cultural Marxism is so vaguely defined in common use that it is better to use it conservatively for people with specific cultural relativist dichotomies.
 
Calling them progressive is fine, as far as I am concerned. It deliniates enough from liberals, socialists and communists as it desribes the underlying progressive stack, cultural sensitivity and the special interest towards protecting cultural minorities. Regressive works too, but I don’t like to use it, since it is similar to blaming things on “white feminism” about the current faults in the movement. Post-modernist is also an acceptable label, because very few people actually self-identify as such.

@Turkeynomster  
No  
Post Modernism is a art form and a actual philosophy which decades of theory  
Using that as a buzzword is also wrong

@Commune  
So even that word demands the sanctity of academic accuracy in casual use nowadays. Fine.
 
Not that an ideology with loose definitions and vague perimeters other than an “ideological progression after modernist frame work” is worth such protection over.

And so it begins.
 

 
This is the most likes and retweets this fraud has had in a while. She knew she was losing relevance and is now out right lying to get attention.
 
What wealthy powerful developers is harassing women? Are you talking about Notch? Sorry toots, but the truth isn’t harassment and he didn’t launch any campaign to ruin someone like your cohort Quinn did.
 
Also: This tweet pleases me.

Why is it that Commune’s off-topic political shitposts never gets deleted?

@SeraphimDawn  
No one reporting him.
 
Not that I expect it would save the thread any wrath.

@PonyPon  
I’m not sure how, and I don’t want to be banned for “False reporting”
 
Next time he does it, we’re just going to have to bite the bullet. it gets out of hand as he goes completely off topic.

@SeraphimDawn  
Except it is.  
I don’t want to admit when and on who I do reports but you accuse mods of not doing anything about him when his post got hit by mod power after i reported it.  
Or you only stop when you see proof?

@SeraphimDawn  

 
They do, if they are reported and are actually breaking a rule.
 
For example, you might have noticed that the one solitary post that you reported got deleted.
 
This is where I post the boilerplate “we don’t monitor every post in every containment thread - if you see something that breaks a rule, report it”.
 
@Cyborg_pony  
Click the “Report” button just after the time stamp on the post. You won’t get banned for reporting things unless you, like, spam a dozen reports that are obviously just butthurt reports, and even then that kind of thing only usually adds a day if you were already being banned for something else.

.Mic continues to feed Anita’s narcissism.
 
And George Tekai goes full Thompson
 
It’s a good thing no one but the liberal idiots that already believe this crap listen to .Mic, because this race baiting B.S. will only stop if we get rid of their source.

@Cyborg_pony  
Are they really saying that making a character color palette darker to show off they went to the dark side racist? That shit’s older than I am, for fuck’s sake.

@Deserter  
Yes, they’re that stupid and out of ways to shame gamers.

@Cyborg_pony  
Stop making evil characters darker skinned to show they are the evil or else African Americans will get longer sentences in prison.
 
That’s kind of a leap, don’t you think? Could’ve just left it at unfortunate implications and be done with it. Or maybe it really is all a coincidence and darker colours just so happens to be the most contrastive palett.
 
The state of journalism remains poor.

What?!  
I cannot even….
 
Rise of Trump, global unrest mean even video games becoming political
 
Must have their universal boogeyman to blame for everything that goes wrong in the world. Even if the problems were created by themselves.
 
The PC left have been trying to politicize video games for a long time now. Long before there was even a prospect of Trump becoming prez.  
Their actions were part of why Trump was eventually elected.
 
Defund CBC!

@SeraphimDawn  
I doubt that’s his fault.

@PonyPon  
Trump is their universal punching bag.

@Cyborg_pony  
LW2 can’t stop being delusional narcissist?
 
Shame about Takei thing but I stopped really being upset by shit celebrities put out when they are on soapbox.

@PonyPon  
EVERYTHING is Trump’s fault. I’m surprised they haven’t blamed the sinking of the titanic or the Hindenburg on him.
 
 
@DeathCloud  

 
I know right? Shocker!

They only way you can say they’re even partially right is how Trump and GG came from the same source: People getting sick of how unbearable and self-righteous the Left has become, and the Left’s refusal to stop being run by idiots.

@Takashi.0  
It shows with them still propping up people like Clinton, Sanders and whoever that “My job is to shut up whight people.” lady was.
 
I don’t mean to get Political as it’s nearly inevitable, but yeah. THAT’S a great way to win support. turn your back on the majority of the country and prey most of them are so beaten they’ll just do what you tell them.

@SeraphimDawn  
Games  
Were  
Always  
Political  
There’s nothing wrong with that, you can disagree with the game if you want but saying “games can’t be political” is restricting the medium  
Many great games are political  
Do you think Spec Ops the Line would have gotten high praises if it weren’t for the message it had ?
 
Fuck, even Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite had very explicit political messages. Though I disagree with several political messages of the latter game(Daisy Fitzroy did nothing wrong), I’m not going to say it can’t be political because that is idiotic
 
You can say that gaming journos are trying to make political messages in games reflect their views but you are making it sound as if Gaming Journos are crossing this never before crossed line in gaming, opening Pandora’s box, when it’s not
