What causes the divide? Anonymous 03/19/19(Tue)16:55:34 No.455109640455109869455140765 (OP) P> This is an interesting question, and I think it has to do partially with journalism as a profession. Journalists like to claim, nowadays, that all games are inherently political, which is obviously untrue. There's nothing political about Tetris, or Super game than the creator intended. Sure, you could write a bunch of articles about the gameplay mechanics of the latest AAA game, but what about its POLITICAL message? If it doesn't have one already, you can just invent one Obviously, there are exceptions. Some games, like that last Wolfenstein game where B.J's dad had the Trump hair, are transparently political in an obnoxious, ham-fisted way. Other games, like Deus Ex, are also very political, but present their political messages intelligently. However, most games today keep their politics outside the game itself. You could play Overwatch, for example, and have no idea which characters are and aren't gay (I don't see sexuality as a political issue in and of itself, but it's often used as one). But if you read all the background material, you can figure out who's a crypto-lesbian and who's not. They don't directly inform you via gameplay, but they get progressive points anyway by telling people about is that plenty of games will be retrofitted with politics, either by the developers or the slimy world of gaming journalism, which creates the divide. Players don't analyze the game politically because they're busy playing it, journalists do because they wearit io Int you in click ni I \u00ce\u0130 Kliai \u012ficlen, aari:1 If tTK2liai \u012flcles i ar.alx>ut pnlitlt .

JULY 23 Culture Why Gamergate is Really About Political Correctness By Mark Judge I don't think Anita Sarkeesian knew what she was getting into. Sarkeesian is the thirty two-year-old feminist who has gained notoriety through Feminist Frequency, a website and social movement that criticizes violence and misogyny in video games Sarkeesian has become a lightning rod in the gaming community. After raising over 150,000 on Kickstarter in 2012 to launch a video series, Tropes Against Women, which analyzes video games, Sarkeesian experienced online harassment from gamers, including death threats. The attacks on Sarkeesian are disgusting, sad, and intolerable nd media have spent a lot of time covering her experience of harassment. What the media hasn't covered in detail is the fact that gamers have absolutely demolished Anita Sarkeesian's arguments. Her first argument is also the most general: that video games are violent and misogynistic. Over a year ago I became the video game reviewer for the Catholic News Service, a media organization that, as you might expect, does not approve of violent and sexist video games. Playing games every week and reading the gamer media, I discovered that the gaming industry is as diverse as American culture itself. There are games about war and stealing cars, but also games about puzzle-solving, heroic quests, and making friends. There are games that are anti-war and games that are artistically stunning, and games about just living life. One of my favorites is still the first game l reviewed, Olliolli, which allows players to do fun skateboard runs. In short, saying \"video games are violent\" is about as accurate as saying \"books are violent.\" There's just too much diversity in the field to generalize. Almost anyone can find a game tailored to his or her taste, and any trip to the local GameStop store will reveal the cornucopia of options. Yes, some games are violent. Some are misogynistic. And responsible people can have discussions about the effect that too much gaming has on the human soul and psyche -as well as what good games do. Yet Sarkeesian's arguments are overly broad, deceptive, and full of specific errors. Gamers have pointed this out in great detail, and are still caricatured in the media as unintelligent, pajama-wearing mouth breathers. One of the sharpest gamers to respond to Sarkeesian is a kid who calls himself Mr Repzion. Mr. Repzion in a lifelong gamer, and on his YouTube lhe has posted several responses to Sarkeesian that are detailed and well researched. (They also contain occasional bad language.) Repzion was particularly exasperated at the errors Sarkeesian made when she recently attended E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo Also notable is gamer and YouTuber AlphaOmegaSin. He has posted lengthy and rigorously detailed videos highlighting Sarkeesian's mistakes. When a self-appointed social justice warrior recently accused Nintendo of being racist because the hand that appears on one of their video games is white, AlphaOmegaSin justifiably went nuts. Other old-school print and online journalists and critics have also destroyed Sarkeesian's arguments. When Sarkeesian said that the game Doom 4 shows the brutal sawing in half of a body, journalists responded that the violence was against a fantastical demon, not a person, and only lasted a few seconds. When Feminist Frequency objected that part of the game Fallout Shelter involved impregnating women, people who had played the game pointed out that the sex was consensual and was in fact only a minor part of a game about surviving in a post-apocalyptic world Critics have noted that even games that gi not enough for feminist Sarkeesian. One journalist got so frustrated with Sarkeesian's drive-by criticism (she doesn't allow comments on the videos she posts to her site and he often goes on blo she would simply debate him. The offer Social justice warriors like Sar shame critics by appealing to emotion, bul guilt opponents i option to p male or female are ing sprees) tha offered $10,000 to a charity of her choice if Il on the table n usually win by following a pattern: raise a s a lot of rage and personal hurt, then move cquiesce e made Anita Sarkeesi ext target. But gamers' coge requency irreleva arguments and Femin Gamers keep gaming, and game makers keep making games.
