Zoya: There was a moment in the keynote that sounded like zinester work wasn't proceduralist. Could be overdetermined by previous knowledge, but queer feminist work is often the most proceduralist because it's focused on systems Deirdra: Queer feminist work can make the system more visible to people because it is critiquing the system and focuses on how the system works Andrew: Large divide between industry and academia. Great conversations here, but those onversations do not occur outside of a group like this. What can we do to bridge this? What about when being published on Kotaku is a bad thing, rather than a positive signal boosting thing? Emily: One of the important contributions of feminist work is informal learning, safe spaces where people can play around and learn how to make things. Without great mentoring and support by a feminist scholar early on the work couldn't be taken to a new community in Wales Adrienne: Why do we see such tension between academics and game designers? less of an issue with indies, but there are always some people in industry that have similar questions until industrial logic takes over later and how can we better intervene in industrial logics to disturb that process. How can academics bridge the gap to the industry audience to help them do different work? How can we disrupt the capitalist norms that facilitate this? Deirdra: This is a hard, personal issue. Getting attacked or having friends getting attacked hurts It's hard not to feel personally attacked and to get to an academic spot where you take the personal out of it. Andrew: Feels quite viscerally injured when someone like Samantha Allen is lost to the industry because the reaction to her by some gamers was so violent that it didn't make sense to stay. Academia needs to push for more radical positions within the industry to help make things better Emily: Part of it is about education. Can we help make more informed consumers? Casey: The people pushing for these dialogues are faculty or industry folks that are asking people to talk about things in different ways. How can we invite industry folks into classes to help encourage people to think in different ways? Can we help both students and industry get better? Learn and run or learn and stay? Staying helps us change things more. Gamasutra will shut down negative conversation at least in part because they've had their awareness raised by academics Chris: We have to think about our obligation and the structures of our production and how we limit what counts and how quickly things can be done do they do it in film and other media studies? Some tension between working on a paper to be read by a few or on a game that may be played by more people. When you make a game you are forced within the genre conventions of game reviews and game scoring. Feedback from IGF and Indiecade can be lacking and only focus on the surface elements. What about a scholarly in-depth review of the messages within a game? Hanli: Do you have research protocols for what counts? Shira: Where do we go from here? Andrew: Flabbergasted that there's not more desperation in the room. Everyone in the room should be scared, as evervone in the industry is scared. Doing the right thin to hurt ut that's the only way to make progress. If you're willing to take it on push harder and do more Academics can still interface with the industry and talk with people to say things Deirdra: Part of the reason to be scared is a perception of a lack of power, but we have more power than we think. Lindsay: Fear is actually part of the problem. Figure out what you have an how to best use it How can you exploit the system and use it to your best advantage? Determine the rules and the rules you want and try to bring them together. As you mature you become more confident, as you become more confident, you're not as afraid of difference Joaquim: There are many barriers to making things better. Education is not enough, as industry works within the logic of a sexist and racist society. Simply educating people in the industry may not be enough. Thinking about academia and who can become grad students or this conference is a privileged group. Cost of registration, planes, and other expenses means that you are going to lose certain voices Jose Z: Always hear the story that you guys should do this, but why don't you do it? Never seen anyone shot down for an idea. Do it and run with it and it'll be awesome. How can we help facilitate what you want to do? Do it long enough with enough conviction and do it well and it'll gain it's own momentum. If you're not willing to put your money where your mouth is we won't get anything done. DiGRA is all volunteer and doesn't have a ton of money Gillian: Putting the work on individuals makes them choose how to divide their time and efforts A person can point out that a problem exists without being required to solve it. Jose Z: No one person can solve anything, but we need more hands to solve more problems Tracy: DiGRA isn't you guys. DiGRA is us. So saying you guys do it is improbable, as it's about us. Change has done by yourself, but you don't have to do it alone. Bring other people together to do something really radical and good. Committing something can help make it happen. People at GDC also ask for change, but this year everyone came for IGF and many people left for the big game show and most nominated for the big game show were from IGF Only half of the half that are left stood for Anita Sarkeesian. Some progress was made and progress is important. We're in the middle of this Mia: The outrage is good because it marks change We're getting things done now in a way that is more advanced and more questions are being asked Tracy: Backlash means we're making a difference Meghan: Anyone that feels comfortable is a position of privilege and those folks should offer to help those who are in a more precarious position. Adrienne: a big answer wrap up would be counterproductive, but many of the issues in academia and industry seem interconnected. Citation is important and there is a long history we need to acknowledge. This will require mentorship as wel

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. The film is described as being in the vein of 'Pitch Perfect' but set in the world of esports with a Gamergate backdrop. (Source: link.hollywoodreporter.com/click/21952263..) 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.
