Nathan Grayson And Blizzard Part 2: SJW-Mode Activate

㈠ randomfOX @randomfox-34m This was their attempt at damage control after f------ it up that hard, btw #GamerGate pic.twitter.com/D8grSMVEUa Reply t3 Retweet ★ Favorite More Well, my Heroes of the Storm interview ended on a strange note, didn it? You don't know the half of it, either. You weren't actually there. As I attempted to explain why designing female characters that look as empowered as their male counterparts is absolutely not about political correctness for political correctness' sake, the room's atmosphere seemed to me to become extremely curt. Browder seemed highly resistant to engaging on the topic, and sounded particularly severe when saying We're not running for President. Because clearly, that's the only scenario in which this sort of thing really matters. When you're trying to make kissy faces at the camera and win hearts by pretending to care about The Real Issues Now, I don't know if Browder meant for it to come across that way, and he could well have misinterpreted the bottom line of my questioning. If so, that's fair and understandable, and apologize for using him as an example. Also, I very much appreciate that he said he'd at least take the feedback to mind. But the attitude he seemed to express is an incredibly prevalent one both within the industry and among its closest followers, and I'd be remiss if I didn't discuss it in detail. Actually, you know what? "Discuss" is too nice of a word. I want to tear this mentality limb-from-limb, leave it without even a single drop of blood to spill. I want to ruin it so thoroughly that its mere memory prompts bile to singe the back of people's throats raw. Why? Because its a hurtful, sad and above all else cynical way to view what is- more often than not-an effort to give more people a sense of belonging. Acceptance.

randomfox @randomfox Follow That time RPS got ran out by Blizzard during an interview because they shouldn't shut up about sexism #GamerGate pic.twitter.com/qaGIJBAVL Reply t3 Retweet ★ Favorite More RPS: You have some interesting alternate outfits for heroes. Roller Derby Nova, especially, caught my eye. On its own, that's totally fine -just a silly, goofy thing.A one-off. But it got me thinking about how often MOBAs tend to hyper-sexualize female characters to a generally preposterous degree-that is to say, make it the norm, not a one-off at all-and StarCraft's own, um, interesting focus choices as of late. How are you planning to approach all of that in Heroes? Browder: Well, I mean, some of these characters, I would argue, are already hyper-sexualized in a sense. I mean, Kerrigan is wearing heels, right? We're not sending a message to anybody. We're just making characters who look cool. Our sensibilities are more comic book than anything else That's sort of where we're at. ButI'll take the feedback. I think it's very fair feedback. RPS: I have to add, though, that comics might not be the best point of reference for this sort of thing. I mean, it's a medium that's notorious-often in a not-good way-for sexing up female characters and putting them in some fairly gross situations. Browder: We're not running for President. We're not sending a message. No one should look to our game for that RPS: But it's not even about a message. The goal is to let people have fun in an environment where they can feel awesome without being weirded out or even objectified. This is a genre about empowerment. Why shouldn't everyone feel empowered? That's what it's about at the end of the day: letting everyone have a fair chance to feel awesome Browder. Uh-huh. Cool.

Game Designer David Jaffe on Game Journalists I'm sick of a number of these journalists hiding behind this line/logic: The REASON gamers are upset is that they are no longer the majority/'in power' of the gaming scene or story and that they are dying off and losing their hold on the culture they helped to create. So this makes them mad!" Or maybe they are just mad because you (and some ((certainly not all) of your colleagues) really want to write important novels and articles that get acclaim from academia and the intlligencia and are trying to force your obsession with being known as intellectuals onto a hobby/medium that -for the most part- doesn't give two s---- about you. Note that ACTUALLY BEING an intellectual is a very different thing than WANTING TO BE KNOWN as an intellectual Here's a tip: if you have a desire to be known for being an intellectual, you probably aren't one. Related: One the loudest reporter voices on this 'new game journalism' side has several times written about how old' game designers can't handle the new game scene' and are lashing out Frankly, as an 'old' game designer, I don't really care about the new or old game scene. These types of journalists are clearly and truly deep up in their own rectums if they think I (or many of my colleagues) give two s---- about being featured on NPR or some such s---. I'd trade 10 profiles of how 'important' and 'cutting edgeI am in The New Yorker for a MONTH of our new game staying on the front page of NEOGAF. And newsflash: if new game journalists inspire gamers to demand 'more' to such an extent that my 'non-more' games (and thus my career in games) becomes obsolete, that is OK! For some reason, some of these writers seem to think going out of style' is the ultimate horror show for so many of us (which clearly says much more about them). But it's not that big of a deal to many of us because we can make games whether we are paid or not, just like so many of us have been doing since we were kids.

I'm baffled by people like you who have such unevolved and disrespectful attitudes towards art and artists I work in photography. I thank God that in my industry critics and journalists covering my medium don't act like you and your lot. If we did, perhaps the chilling effect would have meant no one would see important work by the likes of Arbus ("Oh, she exploits poor people and freaks!"), Saudek (oh, look at how he sexualizes women!!!",) and Helnwein COMG!!! Nazi imagery!!!"). If people like you lot were placed in a position to have a significant voice in photography, Robert Mapplethorpe would have been stuck taking "those pretty pictures of flowers, and Steven Meisel would have been told by his rep to stick to taking "pretty" pictures of models, without any of that troubling "social commentary stuff No, in my medium, critics and journalists by and large would stand up for the artist, and want the art to speak for itself, and want to promote art to the widest audience possible, even if it is work that may be controversial or even downright disturbing. See, art that is not stifled is healthy art. Let the art speak for itself, and let the people (and the market) ultimately decide. Criticism is done, but it is done with a conscience for how such criticism should never stifle free expression. As video games become more sophisticated in terms of visuals, perhaps you aren't cut out for being in this position as a commentator on a medium inching ever closer to fine art. Perhaps you should move into writing about politics, if you thing a large-breasted figure is so dangerous that it needs to be labeled "a harmful work of art. I think the art and artists who want to do interesting, personal work and not just cookie-cutter, committee-approved s--- would thank you for exiting the field you are so clearly not committed to the future of. For this medium to grow artistically, it will require dvocates of artists, not judgemental folks offended so easily, and so eager to throw labels on artists.

If my post was "nasty" then what is calling an artist a 14-year-old boy, accusing him of homophobia, and saying he produces "harmful work[s] of art?" Methinks you simply like to dish out the criticism, and can't bear a little aimed at you in return. ginally Posted by j And this idea that I want to "stifle free expression" is just blowing my mind. I really want to know why so many people think that it's impossible for me to criticize a piece of art - or call it harmful to video game culture - without wanting to censor it. Let me make this clear: I do not want to censor anything. Calling something "harmful" does not equate to saying "This should not be allowed to exist. I would love it if Dragon's Crown didn't have such tasteless designs. That doesn't mean I'm going to tell George Kamitani how to make the game he wants to make. Gee. Where would we have gotten that idea? Oh yeah. The title of your original piece and pretty much all your subsequent writing on this subject, including your attempted character assassination of the artist whose work you think is so harmful. Or perhaps the content of the article, when you suggested the artist should not be hired by the studio. Originally Posted by jschreier This week, someone made a video game to make fun of the Boston bombing. I think most of us would agree that something like that is in poor taste. I'd even say it's harmful to video game culture. That doesn't mean I'd want it censored, or banned, or removed from the Internet. Good for you. But we're talking about stuff that you wrote. I understand that you want to deflect our attention away from that now, but I'm not going to take the bait. Originally Posted by jschreien As for the direct comparisons between photography and gaming, well, if your industry had the same sort of issues with sexism and exclusion that the video game industry does, then that might be more apt. But as I've said before and I'll say again, this is part of a bigger problem. The shocking amount of actual ignorance on display with this statement is simply mind-boggling. It's embarrassing, really You're talking about a medium in photography that was a rich old boys club for at least the first fifty years of it's conception. The medium wouldn't even be available to the middle class for decades. And for example, in photojournalism, a female, Margaret Bourke-White, wouldn't break into the field until after around 30 years of male domination. You're talking about a medium that was also the most popular form o p---------- for about 150 years, with all the free speech, sexual, homosexual and race politics that goes along with that. Exclusion? You're talking about a medium where photographers have been threatened with death for their art, and many have indeed been killed. You're talking about a medium which has produced artists like Mapplethorpe and Serrano for goodness sake. And the industry still has problems with stereotypes. Men are usually thought of as more generally technically proficient photographers, while women are thought to be more sensitive to capturing emotion. It's b------- on both ends. but it exists.

I think the art and artists who want to do interesting, personal work and not just cookie-cutter, committee-approved s--- would thank you for exiting the field you are so clearly not committed to the future of. For this medium to grow artistically, it will require dvocates of artists, not judgemental folks offended so easily, and so eager to throw labels on artists.

Methinks you simply like to dish out the criticism, and can't bear a little aimed at you in return. ginally Posted by j And this idea that I want to "stifle free expression" is just blowing my mind. I really want to know why so many people think that it's impossible for me to criticize a piece of art - or call it harmful to video game culture - without wanting to censor it. Let me make this clear: I do not want to censor anything. Calling something "harmful" does not equate to saying "This should not be allowed to exist. I would love it if Dragon's Crown didn't have such tasteless designs. That doesn't mean I'm going to tell George Kamitani how to make the game he wants to make. Gee. Where would we have gotten that idea? Oh yeah. The title of your original piece and pretty much all your subsequent writing on this subject, including your attempted character assassination of the artist whose work you think is so harmful. Or perhaps the content of the article, when you suggested the artist should not be hired by the studio.

I'd even say it's harmful to video game culture. That doesn't mean I'd want it censored, or banned, or removed from the Internet. Good for you. But we're talking about stuff that you wrote. I understand that you want to deflect our attention away from that now, but I'm not going to take the bait. Originally Posted by jschreien As for the direct comparisons between photography and gaming, well, if your industry had the same sort of issues with sexism and exclusion that the video game industry does, then that might be more apt. But as I've said before and I'll say again, this is part of a bigger problem. The shocking amount of actual ignorance on display with this statement is simply mind-boggling. It's embarrassing, really You're talking about a medium in photography that was a rich old boys club for at least the first fifty years of it's conception. The medium wouldn't even be available to the middle class for decades. And for example, in photojournalism, a female, Margaret Bourke-White, wouldn't break into the field until after around 30 years of male domination. You're talking about a medium that was also the most popular form o p---------- for about 150 years, with all the free speech, sexual, homosexual and race politics that goes along with that. Exclusion? You're talking about a medium where photographers have been threatened with death for their art, and many have indeed been killed. You're talking about a medium which has produced artists like Mapplethorpe and Serrano for goodness sake. And the industry still has problems with stereotypes. Men are usually thought of as more generally technically proficient photographers, while women are thought to be more sensitive to capturing emotion. It's b------- on both ends. but it exists.

Amazingly Kickstarter aren't allowed in legit industries

It's been six months since the New York Times Magazine replaced Randy Cohen, the four-time Emmy Award winner who wrote the Ethicist column for 12 years and made the rounds as a congenial moral-principle purveyor everywhere from NPR to Oprah. Since his winter departure, the former Letterman writer has been tıying to develop A Question of Ethics, a call-in audio show of "moral advice without a lot of damn moralizing." The long-term goal to something public radio appears to be shaping the project in Kickstarter in the hopes of financing a kind of radio-show demo, three-months' worth of Now, having embraced new media-by which I mean, having lost my cushy job at the New column as a weelkly audio podcast." He adds that this will be "something a little more vould sponsor, but in the short-term, Cohen's taken to crowdsourced-fundraising site weekly 10-minute podcasts. York Times," Cohen cracks in an accompanying Kickstarter video, "I'm reinventing the conversational" than the print column, "but something I can still undertake without actually shaving everyday." (Awww, Randy, we miss you.) So we wrote to Cohen to ask a tangentially related Question of Ethics. Specifically, what are the journalistic ethics of contributing to Kickstarter projects? Can journalists contribute at all or just in areas they don't cover? A real arts-related example: Silent Barn, a Queens loftspace adored for its DIY shows, recently crowdsourced funding after a robbery; if a music journalist who'd likely review a show there at some point contributed out of love for I think you've got the ethics of journalism issue just right: You can contribute to any worthy cause as long as it's not something you cover, Cohen told us over e-mail. "1 think that your music journalist shoud err on the pristine side and not contribute to this venue There is no shortage of good to be done in the world, and he/she elsewhere
