A Guide to Ending "Gamers" by Devin Wilson on 08/28/14 07:57:00 pm Sohere are some nreiminany tactics rargpse for transformg tet ropose your own in the comments, and offer revisions to mine): 11. We stop upholding "fun" as the universal, ultimate criterion for a game's relevance It's a meaningless ideal at best and a poisonous priority at worst. Fun is a neurological trick. Plenty of categorically unhealthy things are fun". Let's try for something more. Many of the alternatives will have similarly fuzzy definitions, but let's aspire to qualities like edifying" healing", "pro-social", or even "enlightening". I encourage you to decide upon your owrn alternatives to fun" in games (while avoiding terms like cool" and "awesome" and any other word that simply caters to existing, unexamined biases).

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 ...

O DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm - 9h Ellen Page and Paris Berelc have been cast in the gaming comedy 1UP' for BuzzFeed Studios.

IB CAD 44 27 251 M 1.6K zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch 1h love that the psycho ex who ruined my life and the alt-right mob he drummed up basically seems to have won the disinformation wars given the replies to this. big props to everyone who knew better but stayed ""neutral"" during gg. O 6 27 52 O 829 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h fun reminder: the game review I supposedly "bought" with sex literally never existed in any way, shape, or form, and the psycho ex who kicked up the mob even said so himself. 000 I hate that this still somehow is considered a controversial statement. 27 78 O 771 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch · 1h I hate that I have to keep saying it but I don't know what else to do when people just let the waters be muddied for this long and my existence has been politicized to the point where I can't just live my life. 000 277 O 497 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch - 1h 000 They even named the protagonist "Vivian" so they know enough to know better than to make this a fun comedic romp. O 10 337 zoë "leonardo doujinshi" quinn O @UnburntWitch 57m I'm so sick of talking about this even though it STILL impacts my life every day. I struggle to live my life around it, recover from it, and not let it break me and then stuff like this comes up from time to time and kicks me in the teeth.

MegaX, the Lurker (still follows DIO)

THIS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, IS THE WORST, THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN TO COME OUT OF THIS! "video games shouldn't be fun" ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! VIDEO GAMES ARE MEANT TO BE ENTERTAINMENT! THEIR VERY EXISTENCE IS FOR YOU TO HAVE FUN! WHILE SOME GAMES MAY HAVE HIDDEN MESSAGES AND ARTISTIC REPRESENTATIONS, THEY STILL NEED TO BE PLAYED FOR FUN TO FIND. THEM. OUT! GAMES ARE FUN, THEY CAN HELP DISTRACT YOU FROM PROBLEMS IN THE REAL WORLD BECAUSE THEY'RE FUN! AND NOW YOU WANT TO BE NOT FUN BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO CHANGE YOUR STYLE OF JOURNALISM?!

NO! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUR ANTI-GAMER MESSAGE! AND FUCK YOUR ENTIRE, DUMBASS MOVEMENT!
