Jesus fucking Christ, Some threads are truly like zombies.

No reasonable response whatsoever; just reflexive dismissal of the messenger.

The video was 25 minutes long. OBVIOUSLY you didn't watch it.

DiGRA is no conspiracy at all. It's a left wing think tank.

2 years later, and we're re-litigating all of this shit... I got called out for re-litigating shit that was only a handful of days old, just a few days ago.

Gamergate is a bunch of pathetic losers whining and crying about how women won't date them even though they're such nice guys who threaten rape on Twitter when women slightly affect the level of misogyny in their precious video games. So they come online and bitch and moan and cry while sitting at home masturbating to their cartoon porn. Basically the only way a person can become a more pathetic individual is to vote for Trump while doing all this.

Hollywood is not some hive mind. They are conservative with their money because they are playing with big amounts of cash. It has nothing to do with trying to send a certain message and brainwashing people.

i have no idea what you are talking about with this re-litigate shit

Talking points: HONED

OK, then I'll totally not mention the abject financial failure of the Ghostbusters reboot.

Abject failure? It's just about made back its budget so far. Abject failures according to the numbers lose sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars.

Perspective: you lack it.

Heh... oh, and the company that made the game to go with the movie just filed bankruptcy.

It would appear aggressive feminism makes for poor entertainment.

 

[jackstar7]

You're right. It was my fault for engaging you.

I'll let you masturbate in peace.

Well games cost 3 to 6 times the the typical movie ticket so if you look at the actual amounts of people playing games versus just the dollar amounts that could give you an inaccurate guess of the numbers of people consuming either media.

Additionally "SJWs" (well just use that term since it's one GGers like) have tried to censor movies and music.... guess what?

You can still find the filthiest and violent music you want to buy (well for the most part unless you're really into out there shit) The same goes for movies. In fact one of the most puerile movies this year was also one of the better reviewed ones. Dead Pool is everything a stereotypical movie critic should have just hated because it's soo violent and childish... yet most liked it maybe it's just a good movie.

Whether you like it or not video games are art and as such there will be people talking about the merits of games as art and any subtextual messages or commentary they have how well done those are in addition to how fun is the game to play.

If people have a problem with that then they'll have to deal with it in the same way that audiences for movies and music had to deal with criticism.

Additionally new experimental forms of games (using the broadest interpretation of the term) doesn't mean that traditional FPS games or other genres of games will shrink.
Just like music and movies there will be more variety than in the past. No one is putting a gun in mouth and making you play an Anita Sarkesian approved video game or shutting down a studio because one of their games is too sexual and/or violent and no one is going to either.

As for pay for good reviews or gifts or advertising affecting reviews? There was a minor controversy involving that prior to gamergate blowing up... only not as many people paid attention because there wasn't a sex scandal involved.

While watching cartoon porn since real women intimidate them so much they can't jack off to any porn that involves real women.

A movie remade with women instead of men is aggressive feminism?

No, but this dick-punch is just one fine example of "It's only sexism if men do it."

Just to be clear since your original quote seemed to indicate the move was an example of "aggressive feminism" is this scene an example of what you consider "aggressive feminism" in entertainment?

I think Maxi is feeling blue because he wants to dick punch a ghost and not be thought of as sexist for doing so. Or maybe he's upset because it could have been men doing the manly dick punching.

Regardless, it's clear that he has crotch issues...

Don't let them lie. They don't like the new ghost busters because it's women lead instead of men. They somehow see this as an attack on their manhood. What little they have. Video games pew pew. Respect me. Fucking idiots.

They're coming for your goolies! I mean ghoulies!

Puns!


Kidding, of course, as everyone knows your crotch should be avoided at all costs.

Kidding, of course, as everyone knows your crotch should be avoided at all costs.

I feel confident in saying that women have been avoiding his crotch at all costs for his entire life. That's probably what's at the heart of his fear and anger towards women. He thinks he's a "nice guy" and can't understand why women don't flock to him because he compliments them. Then he flocks to the internet to bitch about women and feminism while calling them whores.

 

[JSt0rm]

"nice guys" are actually insane misogynists.

Captain Carbine, the screenwriter of the upcoming GamerGate cartoon series, just did an interview with Mark Kern. The interview is part of Carbine's #CelebrateGaming initiative, which is a month-long celebration of the positives of gaming, in-spite of so much negativity and fearmongering about gaming these days.
