Sunset developer blames gamers for the failure of their game

Maybe next time, you should talk to the actual gamers, instead relying on Polygon, Destructoid, Kotaku, and Leigh Alexander to advertise your game.

Pong: The Original Source of Video Game Bigotry

Pong: The Original Source of Video Game Bigotry Similar to Polygon's statement that "all video games are stupid" I'd like to state that "all video games are racist and sexist." All of them. You see the problem stems from the very first successful video game back in 1972. While there were games before Pong, it can be said Pong is when the industry truly begun. It's massive success lead to video games exploding in popularity. Without Pong it is reasonable to assume that video games would not be as popular nor the industry be as large as it is today. However, while video games since have copied Pong's formula for success, in doing so they have also brought over Pong's awful bigotry resulting in all modern video games having horrendous social issues. Let's start with Pongs horrible racism and diversity problem. In Pong you can are either one of two white protagonists. There are no people of colour in this game at all. Diversity is non-existent. It's as if this game was designed by Stormfront. Not only are you two white men (more on that later) you are playing over a "black" background. This is obviously a metaphor for the white man completely running over black people as if they were nothing. Think about how much whites stand out when black people are put in the back. This was all purposely done to symbolize white superiority Now in regards to Pong's sexism problem you may wonder how anyone could assume that the player characters in Pong are male given their complete lack of detail. Well if you are wondering that you obviously don't possess a progressive mind like mine, that can find bigotry and outrage in even the minutest details (it truly is a curse). The two Pong "paddles" are clearly two phalluses which are a representation of male sexuaity. This also re-iterates the white male patriarchy Now you may assume that this game has no female representation which makes it sexist but the truth is actually far worse. You see as Jonathan McIntosh, and later Anita stated (it's uncanny, it's like they're the same person!), "In the game of patriarchy, women are the ball." So that ball that you're hitting around is actually a woman, a woman being passed around from one male to the other by being slapped around by a hard white penis. Children were being taught at a young age that passing a woman around like currency was fun Even more horribly sexist is the scoring system. If you manage to hit the woman so hard she avoids being r---- by the other player you get a point. Do this enough and you win. It demonstrates that the most important thing is the patriarchal domination of females. You are meant to own that woman/ball and wreck her so hard that "if you can't have her, no one else can." It would have been better there were no females in the game instead we get a deplorable domestic violence simulator To further prove the point of sexism look at the controller for the home version of Pong does it remind you of anything? (Once again you may need a "progressive mind" to notice this.) The home controller is clearly two breasts that you are meant to fondle to play and have fun. The twisting nob is clearly a nipple, areola and all. Even worse is the idea that you're meant to harass this controller with a friend or family at the same time. If sexual molestation isn't bad enough, Pong was teaching people that for maximum enjoyment you need to double team the woman It is no wonder that video games are the atrocious cesspool of racism and misogyny they currently are when Pong was what started it all. This appalling, ghastly piece of technical bigotry was the grandfather of all modern games so I think it is fair to blame it for the downfall of all humanity. If only Gone Home was that original trendsetting game back in 1972 then video games wouldn't need saving Read more high quality journalism on STOPGAMERGATE.com

GamerGate and devs

GamerGate Class 307: Why GamerGate does not run organized boycotts of game developers Over the past several weeks there has been a concerted effort by elements of the GamerGate consumer revolt to expand the efforts into a boycott of games developers who have either taken an openly hostile position against GamerGate, or have employees which are hostile. While it's always tempting to meet hostility with a response, boycotts are not actions to be taken lightly. Pulling off a successful boycott requires key elements for success, and the consequences for failure are severe and embarrassing. What is required for a successful boycott? Harvard Business Review's Daniel Diermeier outlines four key factors for a successful boycott: 1 Customers must care passionately 2. The cost of participation must be low BOYCOT There is no doubt that GamerGate participants are passionate about gaming. While getting people to boycott unethical games sites is easy, since there are dozens of other sources of information, asking gamers to not purchase the game they've been looking forward to playing for months or even years is a high price for participation. #2 is where a game dev boycott begins to stumble. 3. The issues must be easy to understand Communicating our desire to establish ethical guidelines in games journalism can be tricky, but add in another level, where we're punishing game developers who don't support establishing those guidelines muddies the waters to the point where no neutral is going take the boycott seriously let alone participate 4. Mass media support is crucial. Like it or not, boycotts cannot garner widespread support without media backing them. “While social media platforms have made it easier for activists to gain support, activists need coverage in the mass media for a boycott to be successful." (Diermeier) Add in issues where devs who already support #GamerGate are put into a situation where they can be accused of violations in law, as well as the fact that the game journalists and their supporters would desperately love for us to focus on attacking devs instead of their unethical behaviors, there simply isn't a good justification for going down this road. GamerGate does not dictate game content, nor do we attack game devs who make the games they want. We all understand the desire to make devs thick twice about bashing their customers, but keep in mind you don't go into a losing battle on principle, if it puts the entire war effort at risk of failure. https://hbr.org/2012/08/when-do-company-boycotts-work/

Had enough

I've Had Enough (self.KotakulnAction) submitted 9 hours ago by McNastyFilth 149 Hello everybody, I just need to get some s--- off my chest as I've been following this whole ordeal for the past year now and I'm done lurking. The recent events over at Reddit and the nonsensical repetition of history with Anita Sarkeesian and her anti-violence tweets regarding DooM have pushed me over the line. I'm sick and tired of being demonized by what seems like a vocal minority but goddamn are they loud. Who am 1? I'm a f------ gamer and I've been a gamer for the past 20 something years of my life. I sat besides my brother when he first booted up Wolfenstein and DooM on our shitbox computer. I've been gaming ever since. I never stopped and never will. We are NOT dead and f--- these trolls for claiming we are seeing people silenced over mild dissent on forums like NeoGaf.I's within power. It's also within my rights to tell them to sit on it. I'm sick of being told that I can't possibly have anything to add to a conversation regarding the failure of "journalism" (laughable at best in 2015) because I'm a CIS white guy AND a shitlord to boot. I'm sick of having these egotistical brainwashed scabs incite hate between members of what should be something that's done for FUN. Gaming is SUPPOSED to be FUN.

Who the f--- actually cares about the distinction anyway? Leave it to some pseudo intellectuals to define that s---. I'm sick of all the lies being propagated about who these "mysterious" gamers are. How evil and sexist they are. How they're out to get these poor victims of some sort of unwarranted harassment. (I'm looking at you Wu, you t---) There's no power in being a victim unless if you've designed your entire existence on abusing others in one form or another I'm sick of being called a "neo-conservative" or "right wing for calling out blatant censorship and ethical failures in reporting How in the purple f--- does that even remotely even make sense? Why is that even relevant? Is this some kind of pitiful tactic of guilt by association? Like being someone from the "right wing" automatically makes you some kind of a monster? Only children and ignorant trolls would fuel conversations with logic like that. Sorry, that's the end of my rant.
