#Gamergate

You're right, Secret of the Magic Crystal has some built in anger about unicorns not existing

Of course you're not most of those things, probably a bit misogynist. I'd suggest you examine your privilege but it's clear that it's too late to say that politely.


@KhainiWest the bad news is, if I take harrassment and death threats as a reason to stop being anti-GG then I'm certainly not going to become pro-GG. If I'm not part of the movement but hold the same opinions as one side on most issues, where does that leave me?


This premise is so far off it feels like you're copying from a list of talking points somewhere, idek. What does sex have to do with being anti-GG?

I know girls play Borderlands, try answering my question

good news you are

It'd be nice to turn this thread back into a discussion from a circlejerk tho.


@ShinkuDragon was bored; googled Panama. Doesn't look like it's really better than the US on gendered pay. (gonna continue to ignore the race thing if you guys are ok with that, I haven't said anything about what any race should think)

Okay, I finally found something in this thread that makes me want to tear someone's hair out and it's you-you goddamn misogynist, the idiots of gamergate don't want women at the top because they know we're better than them, fine, they're dumbasses but they say so publicly and as with any good movement there's gonna be the idiots that don't like it. They'll get crushed eventually. but you, you claim to support women, but you're nothing more than a Canadian white guy. That's a cool link you have there, it shows how much less women like me get paid for the same job, and what do you do about it huh? do you give your extra money for being male to the women at your job? do you even donate it to breast cancer or anything that would help women? NO, i'm sure you nicely put it in your pocket and don't say pomegranate to your boss or anyone about it, then you come on the internet and scream "BOO, WOMEN HAVE IT BAD" while you're part of the pineappleing problem. why don't you quit your job so a woman can have it? because I'm sure whatever you're working as is male-dominant, but i'm sure you don't complain about that at work or with your bosses either now do you? this makes you a freaking misogynist, no, worse, you're an HYPOCRITICAL MISOGYNIST.

Check your privilege you whitey scum. I'd call you cis scum but your icon says asexual, what's your problem not liking women pimento?

Sorry I don't subscribe to the 'eye for an eye' morality, if a rapist is being harrassed and attacked that's no less wrong than if they weren't a rapist.

I'm not sure what the third sentence means, it's got too many subordinate clauses. Remember you're dealing with someone who doesn't "understood any of it at a rudimentary level". I'm not referring to some specific 1st year engineering student's definition of misogyny when I claim it about people, so I don't know whose degree is in play.


I don't know how you're looking at the problem but I see these things as mutually exclusive:
reviewer judges the game alone, not the author
reviewer is part of the gaming community

reviewers never exchange money with game developers
review sites are able to pay their reviewers


Personally I'm on the side where reviewers are part of the community, know what's out there and who's making it, and has opinions about what's a good game. I recognize that this means reviewers aren't completely unbiased, and will probably ending up talking to game developers. Because I want to see dev interviews. I want the reviewer to be able to go to PAX and talk to the folks making a game and not feel like that disqualifies them from reviewing it.

Are you out of your pineappleing mind? Only men can commit rape and you're saying you don't want rapists harassed? What do you want then, to have them in a nice home-as-jail plan while they drink wine? pineappleing rapists should have their dicks cut by the person they raped and anyone that demands that they're treated well should have it cut too.

A female journalist can suck as many plantains as she wants and write an article afterwards or have an article about her written afterwards. If there is conflict of interest it's because the stupid male journos can't be unbiased- all the more reason why we need more female journos out there to replace all these white men in the business, which I'm sure also don't do much to help women in the industry seeing how male dominated it still is even while they scream about social justice.
