#Gamergate, the war on nerds, and the corruption of the left and the free press

[CitizenKain]

...and what sense is that, exactly? To allow a panel of feminists to dictate what can and cannot be in video games? Or to just quit gaming entirely and put in more overtime?

No, they grow up and realize that isn't happening at all.

 

[brycejones]

Heh... the ol' feminist "no such thing as misandry" approach, eh?

Remember to bob and weave......

 

[Jaskalas]

But you're wrong about feminists not wanting to get in there and push their agenda -- Snark-eesian and her cronies most certainly are and she's all over the papers and TV. She's keeping the topic hot & fresh so she can keep crying crocodile tears about how "those bad, bad gamer boys are saying mean things to me!" *sniffle*

Haters gonna hate. What did she ever do to you?

...one can only hope that ignoring her will make her influence shrivel, except she's using every opportunity to gain publicity for herself and her cause.

I saw one video of hers, shrugged, and never looked back. Until #gamergate dragged her into this. Now that you keep mentioning her... she'll keep being a topic of interest. You have empowered her.

 

[MrPickins]

I could go on and on but there's little point. Sarkeesian has no credibility. Zero. None. She should not be taking in six-figure wads of cash and putting on public talks about anything - she should be shamed and then forgotten for the lying hack that she is.

It's pretty hard to forget her when gaters keep bringing her up.

Streisand effect and all... :hmm:

 

[werepossum]

How about this

SNIP
....

Works for me, although I was hoping for something a bit less confrontational.

Its kind of sad when we have to resort to citizen journalism these days to get any kind of truth on the situation.

Intel's Ties with IGDA

"This collage shows Intel Content Director, Kim Pallister proudly sharing anti-GamerGate material. Nightline, Colbert, struggles with Wikipedia, and his posting of Intel's diversity announcement was liked by Kate Edwards, executive director of the IGDA who carelessly employed and promoted the blockbot that tagged some of its own members. Leigh Alexander "liked" the post as well, possibly tying more anti-GamerGate sentiment to Intel"

"Intel Content Director Kim Pallister was an IDGA member as far back as 2005. Not sure if he still is or not but that is another connection between Intel and the IGDA."

"Intel employee Kim Pallister's ties run deep enough with the IGDA that he has gone on Murder Mystery Booze Cruise's with them. This was in late 2010"

"Robin Hunicke who helped Intel develop this diversity project also has past ties to the IGDA. So you can't help but ask yourself, with strong ties between IGDA and Intel is this diversity initiative really about diversity or is it about a nice press release while you put some money in the pockets of some old friends?"

This one was bloody BRILLIANT!!

 

[blake0812]

I was on a couple of GG streams the past few months, i've been looking for people to join in to talk about some issues.


Frankly i'm glad this thread isn't so dead as it was before, seems like people really care about this.

 

[momeNt]

I used to be a closeted gamer. I always was afraid of coming out because of the shame.

When I saw that women were developing games, and that gaming was becoming mainstream, I decided to come out as a gamer.

Was shamed.... feelsbadman.jpg

Wish I never came out, I wish i was never born. Why did they do this to me.

#GG

 

[werepossum]

This one was bloody BRILLIANT!!

Brought two points to my mind. First, that Anita Sarkeesian is, um, kind of a hottie. And second, that Melissa Harris-Perry, whomever she is, was obviously the model for Smeagol.

EDIT: I had never heard of Shanley Kane, but after watching her presentation I am firmly convinced that she is the stupidest person in the entire world. WTF? Surely no one actually paid for the privilege of hearing her speak.

 

[Ruptga]

Oh those silly anti-gamers. Keep up the great work, guys.

#teachthecontroversy
#streisandeffect

am I doin it right?

 

[Ruptga]

Seriously though, every time I see the phrase "Anti-Gamers" I end up looking exactly like this guy, keyboard and all.

EDIT: and somehow I completely forgot about this frame. So appropriate.

 

[Nebor]

So I was out at Dave and Busters with a buddy of mine and a couple girls tonight, when at the little front desk we see this dude wearing an indiana jones hat, dad jeans, and a badge that says PAX Enforcer on it. While we're waiting I ask him why he's wearing a badge. He says so that people know that he's in town with the video game convention. I tell him the hat probably let's everyone know. He says he's in charge of enforcing standards of conduct at the event. I troll him and say that I heard on the news that video gamers are misogynists that were trying to kill some Anna Sarbeezian chick. He launches into a rant about how gaming is misogynist but heroes like Anna Sarkeezian are working to change things and make games more friendly towards women, blah blah blah. As we finish our business at the front desk, one of the girls turns to him and goes, "you sound like a huge pussy."

He was one of the most unlikable people I've ever met. Ever. Then he ordered a hamburger and ate it alone while playing trivia. So on the upside, he'll probably be dead of food poisoning by tomorrow.

The most interesting thing I got out of this was that people still go to Dave and Busters.

Baffling.
