Archon 4 9:36 pm General Manager& Publisher God I hate this belief that it is impossible to be objective therefore we won't even try. Its so frustrating against the point of ournalism, its the never ending strive to be objective and tell the truth. The denial of objective truth is a core component of the Frankfurt School of cultural Marxism, which in turn spawned the postmodernism which is the centerpiece of contemporary culture. Like the other tenets of the Frankfurt School, the denial of objective truth is a weapon designed to gain influence and power.A society must have some way of making decisions about what is real and true. When society abandons objective truth as its standard, it is left only with "the consensus" to determine what is true Consensus is something that can be formed and shaped by experts controlling the narrative. Reality is replaced by wikiality, and those who control the wiki (the narrative, the consensus) control that reality. Message me privately if you want more reading on this topic.

Based Jessica James

The Line Hey Jessica... you've got some good points there-e.g you're right that it isn't about Zoe Quinn's sex life. One of the reasons this turned into a major thing for women is because of the way the gaming community handled it. If it was just criticism of Anita's feminist- oriented critique or of favouritism in games journalism media, good discussions would have been had and everyone would have benefited That's what should have happened but it's not what went down. Instead these two women were criticised, harassed, demeaned and shamed on the basis of their gender Even if their stories are total fabrications, it doesn't change how the gaming community reacted to it. The misogynistic-but-vocal minority spewed their hate speech and almost no one tried to stop them, call them out or tell them they were wrong and hurtful. Look at this in reverse: if the accusation was that a guy scored favourable reviews because of the women he slept with, he would have been high-fived and the discussion would have quickly forgotten about him and moved on to discussing inauthentic game reviews. If a man made videos about the representation of women in games, it's unlikely it would have been brought up at all, let alone its author threatened for producing them. Realistically, this whole debate isn't even about games themselves. It's about a subculture that has largely gone ignored by the rest of society allowed to wallow as it indulges the worst in people. Like 36 mins Jessica James "if the accusation was that a guy scored favourable reviews because of the women he slept with, he would have been high- fived and the discussion would have quickly forgotten about him and moved on to discussing inauthentic game reviews." Apart from being horribly wrong, because you clearly have no idea how the games industry works, both men and women are being implicated in this. The journalist Zoe slept with is being heavily scrutinized, and also attacked, in fact I believe he has already been made to step down from his job Shortly, you're missing the point. It has nothing to do with Zoe Quinn or Anita being women. It's not about sexism, no matter how much you make it out to be, It's because what they do is underhanded and wrong Anita insults people and the games they play, as I said above. She is a bad representation for women in games, and shouldn't be supported. Her being a woman does not automatically make her morally right. Likewise, Zoe lied about her ties with the media. As a woman that wants to get into games, I would like to think I can get into the industry without the threat of being beaten down by women willing to sleep and lie their way to the top Hence the need for journalists writing reviews to disclose friendships, and relationships, or any monetary gain they may receive from gaming devs Lastly, if you really want to blame the tiny few "gamers" that do insult two ladies on the internet, don't do it by saying all gamers are sexist. Because you know what, that's how things like racial profiling and generalisations come about. Now stop arguing with someone who studied games media and games design, and go back to talking about topics that are actually relevant, like maybe the fact Zoe Quinn tried to shut down a feminist Game Jam Night.
