TALK AMONGST ELVES Gaming Media and the Oppression Gaming Media and the Oppression Olympics Wookend Question I'll start off by being blunt about three things. First: All media has bias, and no Wa Third: As with all my opinion pieces, this will are the Phantom Breakers Bottle Grounds - The TAY Social justice issues have been reaching a head lately,I feel. Maybe it's my age (24), and the fact that my general demographic is now educated. Maybe it's because another nerdy s--- TAY: Open Take This! Streaming Tales of Symphonia NOW il say than most people r at have changed their content such that they're almost exclusively talking about social justice issues, with gaming itself as a sort of seasoning. Regardless, it's been a topic that's been on my radar in recent months -and countless Facebook discussions, YouTube videos and gaming It starts. (STREAM OVAR. THANX 4 COMMING to Grandma Loses in Video Games, Blames SJWs (as I'll call them for short) have always bothered me. I've always been a firm believer of equality; but as an absolute. People are ENTITLED, I feel, to be treated equally and given equal The Graveyard Shift "Vanilla Edition-Happy straight white male. I harbour no hate for any person unless they give me an INDIVIDUAL reason to. But people, physiologically, are not the same. Women have breasts and are, most of the time, able to carry children for nine months. Straight, sexually capable/interested men will have their eyes TAY: Open Forum to Parts of a illnesses and physical features. These are facts. However, SJWs never accept this-they will never accept equality. They demand of every man, woman and child that delicate issues be tip-toed around, and that everyone have the same requisite ㎞owledge as their university- I was technical trade. I have zero interest in philosophy or social theory. Do I intimately know the plight of the modern gay man? Absolutely not. Inever will. That is not part of the life I lead, and it probably never will be. I will never feel that pain, and I will never know that diserimination. I sure can pretend to - I can tell all of Tumblr about how I, the noblest man of all, know the suffering of every human being that has ever lived. Trouble is, Im not a p------------. Ive had the argument countless time with SJWs where, even though I'd fight for that hypothetical gay Gaming Modia and the Oppression Olympics same goddamn rights as everyone else, how I'd take to Weekend Question stranger being called a "f--", I'm not "an ally". Why? F----- if I know. Simply wanting equality isnt good enough. I believe the term used on the internet is "oppression olympics", the Whole PyramidHeadcrab Goes LARPing: Episode 1, The Foods enthusiast's never-ended quest to be THE most tolerant personexistence. But, SJWs will never solve anything. Why? Because they don't actually do anything to fix the Phantom Breakers Battle Grounds- The TAY homophobes in verbal tirades. And well, frankly, they're justified in doing so. But that's not Religious indoctrination? Fear of being flirted with by another man? Closet homosexuality? The answer could be broad and varied. Only when we understand the cause can we solve the problem, and this brings me TAY: Open Take This! Streaming Tales of Symphonia NOW Anita Sarkeesian is an enemy of classical feminism. Feminism, in its traditional sense, is of equal rights for more about at 9pm ways to play the victim and blame all your life's problems on other people and vague concepts of patriarchy. It's important to make that distinction. Where every gaming website in history has hailed Anita Sarkeesian as some kind of hero (demi-god, perhaps?), she hasn't actually done anything to fix the problem. Sure, she's called us all bigots and wife beaters and braindead redneck assholes who enjoy seeing nude women in pain, but what has she done to fix things? Nothing. In fact, all she's done is point fingers and draw conclusions while living in a bubble Shift Grandma Loses in Video Games, Blames opinions of a The Graveyard Shift "Vanilla Edition-Happy if those opinions are, at best, misguided is OBVIOUSLY misogynist pig-man, right? Instead of examining real problems (Why do female warriors have no armour? Why are characters designed such as they are? Why is a strong male lead an easy-to-identify-with protagonist?), she's turned the noblest ambitions of true feminism into a farce, made it so that people can hide TAY: Open created a void between hobby and philosophy that has no place being there. there.goething, and And the games media is completely complicit in this. You know, we can mock the likes of Fox News for their need to represent both sides in an issue like climate change where the scientific ▼ ARE two sides. No, that's a lie-there are hundreds of sides. The games media only reports on one side "Video games are oppressing women". I cannot, for the life of me, recall a Kotaku article called, "Chill the f--- out, not every game dev is a hyper enlightened academic. Or one called, "Study shows female gamers don't give a f--- about this s---, they just want to play Zelda in peace. To get that perspective, you need to go to the comments. You know, where the chattel Gaming Media and the Oppression Olymplcs too many beers and and the spawn of Woekend Question And that's where it will be. Forever. The media, meanwhile, will continue to mine these comments and flail their arms shouting, "Look! This one guy hates women! That means all gamers hate is falling! Save us, save us, it's worse than the Phontom Breakers Battle Grounds- The TAY Outside of academia, in working class society, we have words for this sort of thing. You know Censorship... Oppression.. Yeah, there's a reason why I stand steadfastly for true equality above Because everyone was expecting it, here's what I think about Zoe Quinn. She is a person without morals. She is a shameless self-promoter. But let's be f------ frank here, has anyone worked in TAY: Open any way! I've Take This! Streaming Tales of Symphonia NOW the gaming media, this and that..." No. The gaming media was ALREADY corrupt. The environment of one sidedness and pretentious, over educated b------- is what allowed this f------ thing to happen in the first place! 2oe Quinn is not the Ebola virus that wiped out a hospital, she is an Ebola virus in the Ebola celebration commitee. She, like Anita Sarkeesian, is another poster child practically constructed by the media so that journalists could point to her or at 9pm It starts. (STREAM OVAR. THANX 4 COMMING and say, "Look! People hate this WOMAN! Look how much people hate WOMEN! All women! And this s--- needs to get out of the gaming media. Grandma Loses in Video Games, Blames Gaming is an art form. It can say, do, think, feel, smell whatever the f--- its artists want it to. It can say things about society, it can create vibrant fantasy worlds, or it could be a mindless 8-bit timewaster. If people in the gaming media, people who steer the conversation about gaming, continue on such a narrow, oblivious mindset, nothing genuine can be said about gaming. You cannot create a game where the male protagonist has his life shattered by his wife's double life. Why? Paints portrayed negatively, and they will hone in on that like flies to excrement and spend days trying to actually want to start a conversation about anything. They just want to stir the pot and create a space where nothing can ever be discussed earnestly. We have to tap-dance around EVERY issue, treat everyone like a fragile snowflake that'll melt if we think too much, and it's a load of f------ s---. Are there real problems of discrimination in gaming? YES!!!! But this is doing NOTHING to solve that! It's a bunch of armchair scholars sitting around playing the f------ blame game, without actually asking any questions or doing any real research.

zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h Since I'm getting a lot of emails about this: no, l've got nothing to do with That TV show. I learned about its existence at the same time as the rest of you. No, I was not asked, consulted etc. and if I had been asked, I wouldn't have been ok with it. That's all. 5 17 42 408 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I continue to reject any oversimplification of GamerGate that leaves out its roots in white supremacy, domestic violence, and the pre-existing societal issues it capitalized in favor of a more convenient and inaccurate narrative about it being solely about women in games. t7 78 5 510 @UnburntWitch - 57m zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn If I am portrayed in it, it's without my involvement or any input on my end, and is happening without my consent. If I'm written out of it, well. I'm not so sure how you can present it as an “honest" story. But that's really not my problem, either. 27 10 204 zoë “lycan subscribe" quinn ... @UnburntWitch I don't want to do any interviews on this, I don't want to give any other statements aside from this. It's bad enough having all of this pop up again without any warning or regard for how I might feel about it, so l'd like to just try and ignore it. Thank you for understanding.
zoë "lycan subscribe" quinn O @UnburntWitch I haven't stopped screaming this for the last seven years because the scarlet letter on me hasn't come off, the harassment hasn't stopped, and people still refuse to learn a god damned thing about what happened to me (and others). Ignoring history enables the repetition of it. * Margaret Sullivan O @Sulliview 7h The AP's treatment of 22-year-old journalist Emily Wilder shows how much newsroom managers still have to learn about bad-faith attacks and online harassment of their staffers, seven years after Gamergate should have taught them.

It is nothing short of a waking nightmare to be constantly impacted by it for the better part of 10 years despite all attempts to move the f--- on, only to have people say it never happened. 7:08 pm 27 May 2021 Twitter for iPhone cory barlog O @corybarlog 10m ...
