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

[MrPickins]

Well someone has to prevent SJW's from changing policies to suit themselves at the expense of everyone else.

This is not happening; you're fighting a boogey-man.

Some people are just natural born complainers. Others have their panties in wad 24/7/365 and can't seem to get a grip to unwad them.

This is definitely the truth. The problem with the internet is now people can whine to large groups of other people with the same mentality, creating an echo chamber.

Before, they'd just get ignored.

He thinks people read his posts.

Some people do.

I think you guys are overestimating how much time it actually takes to write his posts. Just hang out in the usual places and put in a text file stuff you think is interesting or relevant, let it accumulate until it becomse post sized. I doubt he does a bunch of independent searching for anything.

I just wish it didn't have so many images. Makes loading this thread a real pain.

Half of those are "SJWs" campaigning to have something done, with no actual results.

You should remember, they don't have the power to ban anything, only to ask that things be banned. You assume they have more power than they do.

As for GTA, who gives a shit if a (few stores from a) random retailer decides to stop selling something? Do you complain that Wal-mart doesn't sell CDs with explicit lyrics?


The real question is: can you still make/sell games of the type that these people protest? Yes, you can, and that's not changing any time soon ((money talks....)

You're following the SJW playbook to the letter; when proven wrong DOUBLE DOWN! Turn up the heat!

Your own statement above proves my statement true; SJW's ARE vying for changes (therefore not just a "bogeyman".)

Sometimes they're successful (GTA5 in Australia) and often not - but it's a war of attrition. If the demands get louder and louder, they'll get more and more of their requests just to shut them up and to save face from the public shaming they invariably dish out.

I'm heartened by the fact that many public people and companies are starting to put their feet down and say NO. >Half of what GG is all about - gamers saying NO to what femi-SJW's are accusing and demanding. Movies, cartoons and other media are also starting to say publicly they're fed up with SJW's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUdHA5liNec (<- this one is bloody brilliant!) :twisted:

You said this:

Which is hogwash. They do not have the power to change policy; all they can do is ask for change, and as I said, money talks. If a company thinks it stands to profit more from selling a game than not, they're gonna sell it. If they don't, someone else will.

If the SJW's had as much power as you think they do, there would be no nudity in movies (not to mention porn being banned).

It's funny, every time I see the way you react to someone in this thread that disagrees with you, I can't help but think "triggered'.

Seriously, you're way too worked up over this.

Well, first it was the bullies in school and now it's women in online games and/or the internet. And women in real life as well. He can't win for losing.

Women get more attention of all sorts, which is why so many are able to actually get paid for effectively just playing a video game...even badly, its just a double edged sword.

I tend to see "your job is to play video games" a lot, and I think people are missing the mark. Streamers on Twitch may play games, but that's not their job. That may sound strange, but you have to keep in mind... it's their job to entertain. Popular streamers end up attaining a following and fostering a community, and that's what separates them from those that fail to make their mark. In some cases, playing games badly can actually be a shtick that works well for them, and there are other Internet personalities that use a persona as part of their appeal (e.g. KaceyTron and Jim Sterling).

I watched a video of a talk between Sterling and Colin Moriarty (from Kinda Funny), and one interesting tidbit came out. Apparently, Sterling didn't have much luck when he first came onto the video scene. He replaced Lisa Foiles on The Escapist, and most people didn't care for that. Although, looking at the two, it might not be hard to see why. Anyway, he never gained a ton of traction until he decided to joke around with that self-entitled personality ("I'm Jim-fucking-Sterling, son!" "Thank God for me!"), and people loved it.

Ah, I think the bit about reaction speed might have been in the Dead or Alive video. I've seen both of those, and they were certainly interesting, but I don't think I'd consider Matthew Patrick to be anti-SJW. I don't think I'd consider him to be on either side of that debacle. The awkward restrictions on sex compared to violence has been a longtime point of contention for some as it just doesn't make sense. The Dead or Alive restrictions are just one of the latest issues along with Twitch banning certain games from streaming.

I wanna' go see Green Inferno just to watch these self-righteous SJW's get eaten by cannibals.

Hahah, Brietbart. A site by and for people too stupid to figure out the comments section on Foxnews.

My takeaway: Blue Max has a shitload of time on his hands and no actual goals in his life. And based on some of his links... he might have a passing interest in hate groups.

 

[BoberFett]

I enjoy OrooOroo's posts still. I skip most of the videos, I wish people would stop with the damn videos of their sometimes incoherent rants and learn how to write. No, I'm not going to watch a one hour video rambling and repeating the same points.

But some of the non-video content is pretty good. The article by the anonymous dev is packed full of great points.

SJW culture is starting to crack, people are starting to realize that group of nutjobs are dangerous to free speech, and those nutjobs are starting to eat each other. Hopefully this left wing version of the moral majority goes down in flames soon.

 

[BoberFett]

If the SJW's had as much power as you think they do, there would be no nudity in movies (not to mention porn being banned).

So it's better to ignore these left wing Moral Majority nuts until they DO have the power to stifle culture? Better to expose them now as the shitbags they are, I say.

Ingnore them because they will never have the kind of power you guys seem to think they will.

They're a fringe group. A very vocal one, but a fringe group nonetheless.

 

[Phanuel]

That's why they're meeting with the President and on TV numerous times.

 

[jackstar7]

I love the bonus of this turning the notion of social justice into a derogatory term. That's a smart agenda.

...who HAVE occasionally succeeded with their missions to ban things they don't like, change laws, and to squelch opposing viewpoints with their loud public shaming tactics - just like you folks keep doing. No hard links or even educated points of view, merely one personal insult after another. You want them to be ignored so they can have their way without opposition.

"You're stupid" is not a valid argument.
"That's hate speech!" is designed to incite revulsion to the target but only works with those who think emotionally, not rationally.
"You'd BAD if you don't agree!" isn't going to change anyone's mind, only rally those already indoctrinated.

So go ahead and hurl your pitiful insults - it's proof-positive you simply have no leg to stand on. Without truth, all you have in your arsenal is insults and emotion.

Orooo has posted MOUNTAINS of links debunking your claims that SJW is "right". What've you got? (Besides insults, of course.)

I insulted you? Care to point out where?

I've gone out of my way to not insult you when, in reality, I feel nothing but contempt for you.

Orooo has posted MOUNTAINS of links debunking your claims that SJW is "right". What've you got? (Besides insults, of course.)

When did I ever say they were right?

You complain about how others argue, but then you twist their words and make straw man arguments. Can you say hypocrite?

(As we all have proof, that wasn't an insult; it was stating a fact.)

 

[BoberFett]

Most reasonable people find social justice an admirable goal. Even those horrible GamerGate types have no problem with that.

Social Justice Warriors is derogatory because these freaks have no real interest in social justice, only the warrior part. Social justice is just their impenetrable facade for being horrible human beings.

"You can't criticize me, I'm fighting for social justice! Now crawl in a hold die you cishet shitlord!"

SJWs seem to think GamerGate is an evil movement because of the actions of a few. Why can't social justice be held to the same standard? Sorry if a few assholes ruined the real social justice movement, but that's the way it goes.

Who has attempted to censor Anita Sarkeesian? Or am I misinterpreting you?

EDIT: Okay, there was that Utah State letter that did successfully get her to cancel her talk, but other than that.
