Nopel No thanks. Then I saw the marketing that went along with the word gamer that was promoting a lifestyle that didn't exactly appeal to me anymore This. The meaningless distinction between "hardcore" and "casual" is what has really ruined the word gamer. It doesn't even matter if we find the distinction meaningless, because a lot of people do and language is based on consensual understanding if nothing else. I think my hope behind using player instead of 'gamer is to show that this hobby is for everyone, whether you're my girlfriend playing Thee Room on an iPad or me playing Halo 4 in the dark after she has fallen asleep Ryan Thompson 3/5/13 ← While I don't disagree with any of the opinions regarding some negative connotations regarding the word "gamer" in certain contexts, I would suggest that excising it from our collective vocabularies is a very dangerous road with a slippery slope. Permit me a quick digression to explain The mainstream Christian church has lost control of a single word, and it has become a powerful barrier to new people joining the church today. By taking ownership of one word - - evangelical conservative denominations of the church (Campus Crusade for Christ, etc.) have not only removed a powerful word, but have used that control to erect a variety of confrontational barriers by defining those confrontations in terms of "evangelism." Has anyone ever been asked "Have you been saved (by Jesus Christ)?" This question (which is inappropriate in myriad ways, beyond the scope of this post) stems from the idea that the conservative church owns "evangelical" and can therefore define "evangelizing" on their own terms Back to gaming, I would suggest that someone playing The Room on an iPad is a gamer just as much as someone who can beat Ninja Gaiden Black. We should be powerfully denying any comparison that rates the person who plays Street Fighter, Halo, et al as "better" in any way than someone who plays Audiosurf and Zen Pinball. By yielding the word "gamer" to those who would make those comparisons we acknowledge that there is some truth to it - - a notion I reject. We should not be letting others define what it means to be a "gamer" and therefore what it means to play games - show quoted text Mark Duval 3/5/13 ← This is true, and it's why for example, conservative Christians hate Rachel Evans Held because she identifies as an evangelical Christian, but her theology doesn't match with theirs. They think, "hey, yoiu can't be in our club!" - show quoted text-

Gaming' is fine in my book. It's an arbitrary distinction, but it doesn't carry the negative connotations of gamer. At least, not to me Kaitlin Tremblay 3/4/13 ← Same here. I think that's because it's not used to delineate one's saturation in the field. "Gaming" isn't specific to anyone person or group (any one can play a game), whereas "gamer" has been used to denigrate and exclude, in a way, so l can definitely see where the two part ways SJML 3/4/13 ← Other recipients FWIW, historically, "gaming" has specifically referred to gambling. I don't think the examples given were being used in this context, but some people take umbrage if their work is referred to as "in the gaming industry," preferring "games industry." - show quoted text Zoya 3/4/13 ← I guess as an editor your biggest question is 'could this alienate the reader'. To me, the answer is yes Everyone who has ever told me that they are not a gamer has in fact had experiences with games that are culturally and historically really important, and have had smart things to say about those experiences. For example, one person who told me they were not a gamer turned out to have been instrumental in setting up some of super interesting experiments with interactive fiction and poetry in MUDs in the 1990s. I'm pretty sure any creatively-minded game dev would love to work with them. Something about gamer culture makes people feel excluded even though they have so much of value to contribute - show quoted text

Google Groups On "Gamers" Search for topics Sign in 19of32 く 21 posts by 15 authors8+1 Alan Williamson 3/4/13 ← Last night, I was editing copy for Issue 2 of Five out of Ten (coming soon to a digital store near you!) and one of the writers had used the word 'gamer extensively throughout. As I edited, I basically did a bulk Find and Replace of the term. I hate it. My rationale is that I read 'gamer is analogous to 'film buff or 'music snob: someone who is obsessively dedicated - an otaku, if you like - with the blinkered mentality that implies. A 'player' is someone who is playing the game, analogous to viewer, listener or reader. FooT is for players and people who want to understand players. It's not for gamers. I think most of the time people say "gamers" (especially "we gamers"... I don't call myself a gamer, so don't paint me with that brush please!) they actually mean "players" This might just be the side effect of seeing a million different websites and publications that have abused the term 'gamer to the point where it is no longer salvageable but... can I have a sanity check here? Am I just being ridiculous? Alan Dan Golding 3/4/13 ← Yes, to all of this. I didn't ever like the term 'gamer', but it wasn't until I read this scholarly article that I stopped using it altogether (that's behind a SAGE paywall, if anyone would like this and doesn't have another avenue for getting hold of it, send me a message) - show quoted text psepho 3/4/13 ← How do you feel about the word 'gaming' as referring to the wider field/activity of games? I can certainly see where you're coming from on 'gamer' though. To my mind there are twin angles on this: first, all the cultural baggage that goes with g4mr stylings, second, the rather condescending marginalization that goes on when businesses/academic/journalists use it as a way putting players into a pigeonhole Of course, I am also guilty to the extent of calling my blog 'Commuter Gamer - although that is probably overshadowed by the brilliance (or otherwise) of the pun

How to End GamerGate in 5 Minutes 1. Unqualified apology for attacks on gamers. Admit that unfair attacks were made against a diverse group of people and that it was unfair to blame everyone for the conduct of a few bad people (and admit that some of the harassment came from trolls). 2. Fire the truly bad actors to show you're serious about reform. 3. Set out new ethical standards. Disclose relationships. This isn't hard. If you're friends with someone, say, "I'm friends." When you disclose relationships, you build trust. It doesn't detract from your credibility. It increases it. 4. When people attack you, engage them or ignore them but do not attack them. "Yes, that was wrong. We have moved on. If you want to dwell on the past rather than the future, that's totally cool. Thank you." Only lunatics keep attacking a person who has admitted he or she was wrong and is asking to move on. 5. Hire a ombudsman to take complaints. Give him or her a weekly column where he answers questions. This increased transparency would increase trust. (Even when people disagree with you, they respect you when you're open and honest about the criticism against you. One of GamerGate's biggest issue is the cover-up.)

§ 255.5 Disclosure of material connections. When there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product that might materially affect the weight or credibility of the endorsement (i.e., the connection is not reasonably expected by the audience), such connection must be fully disclosed. For example, when an endorser who appears in a television commercial is neither represented in the advertisement as an expert nor is known to a significant portion of the viewing public, then the advertiser should clearly and conspicuously disclose either the payment or promise of compensation prior to and in exchange for the endorsement or the fact that the endorser knew or had reason to know or to believe that if the endorsement favored the advertised product some benefit, such as an appearance on television, would be extended to the endorser. Additional guidance, including guidance concerning endorsements made through other media, is provided by the examples below Example 7: A college student who has earned a reputation as a video game expert maintains a personal weblog or "blog" where he posts entries about his gaming experiences. Readers of his blog frequently seek his opinions about video game hardware and software. As it has done in the past, the manufacturer of a newly released video game system sends the student a free copy of the system and asks him to write about it on his blog. He tests the new gaming system and writes a favorable review. Because his review is disseminated via a form of consumer-generated media in which his relationship to the advertiser is not inherently obvious, readers are unlikely to know that he has received the video game system free of charge in exchange for his review of the product, and given the value of the video game system, this fact likely would materially affect the credibility they attach to his endorsement. Accordingly, the blogger should clearly and conspicuously disclose that he received the gaming system free of charge. The manufacturer should advise him at the time it provides the gaming system that this connection should be disclosed, and it should have procedures in place to try to monitor his postings for compliance Example 8: An online message board designated for discussions of new music download technology is frequented by MP3 player enthusiasts. They exchange information about new products, utilities, and the functionality of numerous playback devices. Unbeknownst to the message board community, an employee of a leading playback device manufacturer has been posting messages on the discussion board promoting the manufacturer's product Knowledge of this poster's employment likely would affect the weight or credibility of her Source: FTC 091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf
