The Death of Gaming - Page 46

Actress Felicia Day Opens Up About GamerGate Fears, Has Her Private Details Exposed Minutes Later | ThinkProgress
Apparently she had her personal information distributed within an hour of daring to share her opinion on GG.

https://medium.com/the-cauldron/why-...f-a7e4c7f6d8a6
Chris Kluwe posted a scathing rant about GG a couple days ago and not a peep from GG.

So yeah I'm having a hard time believing that is is anything other than a thinly veiled attack on women in gaming and feminism in general. I know not everyone is of that mindset, like steven, but the overall movement definitely comes off this way. The well is too full of poison now it's best to just board it up and move on.

Nobody who is support of #GG is of that mindset, if they are, then they don't know what GG is about.

The whole thing has turned into such a giant clusterfuck at this point I honestly don't know what's going on... all I know is that it would be nice if the media actually did a tiny fraction of research instead of opinion piece after opinion piece.

It's just such a shame that the media holds all the cards. My opinion of everyone holding those cards is very, very low. I think they are sad, pathetic individuals with the integrity of a bag of shit.

So you're also claiming that the people who attacked Felicia Day weren't true scotsmen?

**Slime Slayer** · 10-23-2014, 04:40 PM

I don't know what "true Scotsmen" means. If you are asking if I think it was an act of controlled opposition on her behalf, then no, I'm not convinced either way, nor would I be surprised either way.

It's a fallacy where people refuse to accept that their group is capable of doing bad things, basically.
Person A: "No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."Person B: "I am Scottish, and I put sugar on my porridge."Person A: "Well, no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."Switch scotsman with GGer and porridge with makes sexist attacks.

**Slime Slayer** · 10-23-2014, 05:29 PM

Not the same type of situation because #GG has always been clear to what it's motives are, from the very beginning.

**Dudebro** · 10-23-2014, 05:42 PM

So you are implying that this, and other recent attacks on women, were probably an attempt to discredit GG? Why can't you just admit that GG has a lot of d-bags involved and they probably did this stuff? It's not like the sites these people frequent are known for being bastions of gender equality, right?

Here is the home base for #gamergate:

https://8chan.co/gg/

Show me the d-bags.

And while we are at it this is from last page:

DB said:
"I just wanna know if you see all the hostility. From my experience it's been the norm not the exception. It really makes it hard to be sympathetic and since most appears to be focused on female game devs/writers/ect it also makes the misogyny leap pretty easy to make."

SC13 replied:
"Honestly DB, I do not see it. Sure maybe the odd comment by a troll, but it's probably 100 to 1 ratio of normal comments to hateful ones. Could you point me in a direction so that I can see what you are seeing?"

Either show me all the hate, or stop perpetuating the idea.

**Dudebro** · 10-23-2014, 08:15 PM

Yeah ok sure there's no hostility coming from GG I'm just imagining it all and all the articles about it are obviously lying. Those criminal attacks focused on women must've all be false flags by angry SJWs.

Serious question, do you have some sort of mental disability or something? If you do it's okay, and I won't hold it against you, it's just that everything I've said here on the subject seems to have went over your head.

**Dudebro** · 10-23-2014, 09:11 PM

Yeah I'm just a retarded SJW don't worry about it. Good luck in your righteous crusade!

**DrunkN** · 10-23-2014, 09:57 PM

I dunno why steve wants you outta this thread so bad. Seems like you're the only other guy who posts in it.

Re-read the last 4 posts before yours please, and tell me who you think initiated the debasing, sarcastic tone.

I have no doubt that you are being sincere. That is not sarcasm: I, too, happen to believe that not everyone is vouching for this thing because they think women are stinky.

I am not surprised that Dudebro is sarcastic. He is as rigid in his thinking as you, and just as cocksure that he is inherently in the right.

The matter is simply that neither I nor Dudebro frequent the octojerk that is 8chan, so naturally we have not seen the good side of gamer gate.

Then speaking upon it is foolish.

It's funny, if you are neutral on the situation, #GG will be fine with that, however anti-#GG will call you a terrorist.

No that's not what's going on here. I'm tired of the way GG supporters act. Their movement can do no wrong and everyone who really supports it is an angel fighting the good fight. I thought steven was different but I was wrong. I'm sarcastically excusing myself from this "discussion".

**KATZ** · 10-24-2014, 08:09 AM

Will dudebro and SC13 ever get along?

Well, if everyone who doesn't frequent your little circle is out of the loop, I vote we leave your higher learned, educated opinions unchallenged.

I second this.

Imagine if they cared about real journalism as much as they do about a bunch of glorified bloggers.

Remember my comment about all the hate coming from GG?

Quote:

That means, they said, that more rational voices who want to talk about ethics in journalism have been drowned out by people sending loud, undeniably hateful speech in an Internet echo chamber that rewards sensationalism.

There's a citation for you. Echo chamber describes it perfectly.

Right, as I was trying to explain to you, it's not gg it's only being blamed on gg.

**Dudebro** · 10-26-2014, 04:27 PM

No it doesn't say that. It says there could be trolls causing it to be worse but there's a vocal majority of d-bags souring the message of GG.

**Slime Slayer** · 10-26-2014, 04:30 PM

I fail to see the difference in what we are saying...
