3rd generation feminists think that their feelings matter more than others because they are women and always right.

The internet found out, and decided that Games journalism is a hive of scum and villiany ( it is) and that should be rooted out. But feminists thing that gamers are sperglords, and that should be the issue.

Basically two groups arguing about competing, but wholly different issues.

Really interesting. Someone remapped the data from the original 350k tweets, and used the better extrapolations presented after the Newsweek article to make this. The Top right is pro-GG, bottom left is Anti-gg. The colors represent how much accounts have "changed" over the past 2 months, Blue accounts show no change, yellow and green have added many friends. The size of the circles are followers, I believe.

The interesting things are the lines. The lines represent discussion, the color of the lines represent re-tweets. It seems due to bannings and blocks, the Anti-GG people have literally isolated themselves from conversations with the Pro and Neutral people. That big blue blob in the lower left? That is Anita Sarkesian...From the analysis, it seems the Anti-GG is driven by very few individuals, and a bunch of followers who only communicate with those individuals. Meanwhile, GG is driven or discussed, by many smaller actors, and discussed with nearly everyone who will discuss it.

Pretty interesting to see an echo chamber literally in graphical form. )



Also in order to protect its revenue stream, Gawker Media (bastion of shit journalism) produced a ton of hit pieces against "gamers" portraying them as misogynistic shut ins, despite the majority of gamers belong to a generation that is the most liberal of all time in regards to social issues. So much that the entire label "gamer" is more synonymous with "television enthusiast" or "Guy who likes movies" nowdays.

Don't go to gawker sites...dont go to clickbait sites period.


Also the feminists at the forefront of this are trust fund babies ivory tower "liberals" ( as a liberal it disgusts me to say that) who don't understand how real relationships with human beings work.

Post is disqualified for being more than one sentence long.

not true, and why gamergate is totally bogus. Because anyone who believes in it just makes up their own reason why it exists.

And see Kaga? thats why your stupid cause exists, becuse stupid nerds think someone traded sex for game reviews.

so dumb.

I love how you had a a whole post full of reasonably objective information, then a you throw in that completely baseless "fact" in at the end. What exactly was the sample size of your study on all feminists being trust fund babies?

All the extrapolated data revolving around Twitter discourse in the world doesn't change the fact that misogyny and the exclusion of women is a problem in video games and the video game industry.

The way in which people tweet at each other has absolutely nothing to say about the objectivity of the situation we're in. All that image demonstrates is that there are far more people discussing GamerGate, which I'm sure you can very easily prove a ton of which are not "pro"-GamerGaters, than there are speaking out against it.

What percentage of video games includes this overt misogyny?

A better question would be, what is the male-to-female ratio of people employed in the video game industry?

its not so much wiether they are portrated poorly in 1 game vs 10 games.. its that in the vast majority of story driven games, they are portrayed poorly.

If you dont agree, you simply dont play video games... or just dont understand the issue at all.

I think this video is worth watching from start to finish, there is no reason to disagree with it becuse if you disagree with it you just simply do not understand the issue, once again.

The questions Anita Sarkeesian raises about games and the stories behind them are valid and challange game developers to make games better.

Im a man and I dont like the bullshit way women are portrate din games, becuse its just totally unbelievable (as in its not even close to reality) and it makes me look at a game as a play toy for a stupid kid or retard.. I want to play games that take shit seroiusly, putting a 36DD chick in a g string and ploppin gher down in the front of a midevil army is just stupid. If you disagree, you're stupid.
