Stupid is as stupid does.

Wikipedia: Gamergate

Gamergate From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A gamergate is a worker ant which is able to reproduce with mature males without a queen present in its colony. In some queenless societies it was shown that some nests can have one or even several gamergates per colony.[1 In Pachycondyla berthoudi (junior synonym of Pachycondyla strigulosa), winged queens do not exist, but instead foreigrn males visit underground nests to mate with workers. When a queen dies in a Harpegnathos saltator colony, workers of the colony will begin to fight for dominance to become the next queen and reproduce the next eggs.[3] A colony of Myrmecia pyriformis in 1998 was collected and lasted three years reproducing without a queen ant.4

"A Guide to Ending Gamers"

目Blogs A Guide to Ending "Gamers by Devin Wilson on 08/28/14 07:57:00 pm The following blog post, unless otherwise noted, was written by a member of Gamasutra's comnunity The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company. Whether it's in the concluding chapter of lan Bogost's How to Do Things With Videogames (The s more recent enough), or the hundreds of tweets being written about it, we're seeing calls to do away with the is great, but this c to Celebrating that uncertain victory now is premature, hubristic, and an insult to the people who are suffering abuse from self-identified lg As such, ľd like to postpone our back-patting and think about solutions for bringing this change achieved today than about sooner than later, as I think that ending the regular harassment of women in games is better We cant just Twitter-block the problem away. Even a video series critical of the medium is only a partial solution. Games culture needs to change at a grassroots level, and each of us have a part to play in that revolution if we want it to happen. It's not only the worst of us who need to change. None of us are outside of this system. None of us are completely above its effects. None of us are entirely innocent. We all need to work to make our role in games culture more positive (which absolutely does not mean So here are some preliminary tactics I propose for transforming games (feel free to propose your s, and offer revisions to mine) 1. We don't wait. We don't wait until after that big, exciting sequel is out. We dont wait until after E3, GDC, or PAX. We don't wait until we finish this game we've been investing hours into, or until after we unlock that new assault rifle. We don't wait for other people to fix this. There's just going to be another E3 and another newly-announced game and another excuse to not look at the present state of games culture. This industry has been distracting us with carrots- on-sticks since its inception, repeatedly pulling the rug out from under us before we could even get oriented in the first place. There's always been a promise of something better around so we don't bother examining or acting-on us examine ourselves and act, right now. We've been doing far too much waiting in games. We need to raise our expectations and stop waiting for the medium to mature. It's 2014. The first generation of consoles was decades ago. The only reason for games to be immature is if its consumers and producers are allowing them to be that way. The people who have decided to 2. We listen to those who are less privileged than we are, and we don't adopt a default stance of skepticism towards their views and claims. We support them when we have the warrior (if only to subvert its use as a pejorative). We do whatever we can to leam about the 3. We display broader interests as individuals who make and play games. We spend more power to, we involve them when we have the power to, and we don't ignore it when institutions fail to do these things. We each proudly claim the label of "social justice nequalities in the world, and we examine what we can do to change things for the better time learning about the world beyond this industry. We put more effort into making games what we've suffocatingly narrow o ignore all of the things outside of their window when they decide to make a game. There's a lot of 4. We make and play fewer isolating games, including online multiplayer games. If our medium is designed for people to stay secluded for dozens of hours while having their egos stroked, then we reap what we sow in terms of the kinds of people who emerge from this pastime.

目Blogs A Guide to Ending "Gamers by Devin Wilson on 08/28/14 07:57:00 pm The following blog post, unless otherwise noted, was written by a member of Gamasutra's comnunity The thoughts and opinions expressed are those of the writer and not Gamasutra or its parent company. Whether it's in the concluding chapter of lan Bogost's How to Do Things With Videogames (The s more recent enough), or the hundreds of tweets being written about it, we're seeing calls to do away with the is great, but this c to Celebrating that uncertain victory now is premature, hubristic, and an insult to the people who are suffering abuse from self-identified lg As such, ľd like to postpone our back-patting and think about solutions for bringing this change achieved today than about sooner than later, as I think that ending the regular harassment of women in games is better We cant just Twitter-block the problem away. Even a video series critical of the medium is only a partial solution. Games culture needs to change at a grassroots level, and each of us have a part to play in that revolution if we want it to happen. It's not only the worst of us who need to change. None of us are outside of this system. None of us are completely above its effects. None of us are entirely innocent. We all need to work to make our role in games culture more positive (which absolutely does not mean So here are some preliminary tactics I propose for transforming games (feel free to propose your s, and offer revisions to mine) 1. We don't wait. We don't wait until after that big, exciting sequel is out. We dont wait until after E3, GDC, or PAX. We don't wait until we finish this game we've been investing hours into, or until after we unlock that new assault rifle. We don't wait for other people to fix this. There's just going to be another E3 and another newly-announced game and another excuse to not look at the present state of games culture. This industry has been distracting us with carrots- on-sticks since its inception, repeatedly pulling the rug out from under us before we could even get oriented in the first place. There's always been a promise of something better around so we don't bother examining or acting-on us examine ourselves and act, right now. We've been doing far too much waiting in games. We need to raise our expectations and stop waiting for the medium to mature. It's 2014. The first generation of consoles was decades ago. The only reason for games to be immature is if its consumers and producers are allowing them to be that way. The people who have decided to 2. We listen to those who are less privileged than we are, and we don't adopt a default stance of skepticism towards their views and claims. We support them when we have the warrior (if only to subvert its use as a pejorative). We do whatever we can to leam about the 3. We display broader interests as individuals who make and play games. We spend more power to, we involve them when we have the power to, and we don't ignore it when institutions fail to do these things. We each proudly claim the label of "social justice nequalities in the world, and we examine what we can do to change things for the better time learning about the world beyond this industry.
