A MONSTROUS WASTE OF TIME IF I SHOULD LIVE UNTIL I WAKE, I PRAY THE WEB MY DEATH TO FAKE. ASK ARCHIVE RANDOM RSS SEARCH TWITTER 19TH OCT 2014 1 8 NOTES Movies like the Transformers franchise are full of stupid storylines, sexisim, and racially offensive themes. The world of independent film is under-appreciated to the point that people making REAL art are just flat-out ignored by the unwashed masses of ignorant watchers. are dead. Stop catering to dumb movie-goers. Music is full of objectification, and people frequently get into arguements about what the best music is. People say Rap isn't music. People call Country music idiotic, and say it's for inbred hicks. Music fans are a bunch of trolls, strapping on their headphones and blocking out the real world. Listeners are dead. Books are more about telling a story than having fun. They're completely linear, and don't get me started on how SNOBBISH readers are. They'll laugh at you for enjoying Twilight (just because it's targeted at female readers!) and will insist you read the same books they've read. Readers are dead. Game of Thrones? Boobs everywhere. Breaking Bad? Wow, every bad guy happens to be Latino-American until the end, and the women are all shrews. Television is a vast wasteland of sexisim, bigotry, and under-representation. Yet fans buy no end of merchandise and DVD box sets. Viewers are dead. It's over. Have you seen fast food these days? #EaterGate

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26

It's because games are a relatively new medium compared to the rest of these, so everyone is seeing it as virgin territory to criticize and push their ideologies on. Movies have dealt with this sort of thing for hundreds of years, books and music for literally thousands. Meanwhile, video games have broken into mainstream within the last 20 years. We'll either overcome, or go the way of comics.

But yeah, don't underestimate nerds in large groups.

I find it hilarious that the SJWs would go after us when, yeah the TV and movie industries are fucking giants, but as gg has shown the gamers are as strong as them. We also don't need to use an army of lawyers to tell them to fuck off. It probably was a case of these arrogant asshats looking into their pasts and seeing that atacking nerds and getting other nerds to atack nerds worked, so now they're repeating… But unluckily for them these nerds are fucking pissed.
