What Gamergate should have taught us about the 'alt-right'

[MehGuy]

As for the game that helped start the movement. Yeah Depression Quest sure doesn't sound like some victim loving masochistic fantasy game. Lol.

Have you played it? She released it for free. It's not a game that's intended to be enjoyed so much as experienced. It does a pretty good job of conveying what it's like to live with clinical depression.

I've dabbled with the game. And yeah, some people are able to enjoy it.

If you're interested in good journalism, look at who throws the money and perks at journalists.

You might not believe this, but a quite number of video game websites, Did update their ethics polities after the events of GG.

 

[super animator]

Not to put words in their mouth, but I believe they meant GG would have focused on the AAA game studios and publishers rather than small indie studios and individuals.

Which ones in particular?
EA? That has been done before GG exist.
Activation? That also have been done before GG exist.
Why do violation of ethics of small indie studios and individuals not count? They lack of money making it ok to you?

 

[super animator]

Yeah, I've never denied that.

I know some in GG do.

With all the bull spouted from self proclaim feminists, it no surprise that you find anti-feminism in their ranks.

When? Where?

It's about straining at a gnat, but swallowing a camel.

Also, why does the behaviour of VG Journalists and Activists trying to paint a narrative against gaming and gamers not matter. Why is that not a violation of ethical standards? Are you suggesting gamers who oppose encroachment should just shut up because "it doesn't matter"?

What narrative against gaming are you referring to?

 

[morningstar2651]

Do you know what a "moral panic" is?

 

[super animator]

When? Where?

Shaddy DLC polices, blacklisting, DRM. Where have you been?

It's about straining at a gnat, but swallowing a camel.

So you think that we go to the "Big guys", the "little guys" would effected by this?
Sorry to disappoint you, the "little guys" don't always give a crap about what the "Big guys" do.

Anti-feminism is at the core of GamerGate. It's an anti-feminist movement with a foundation in Ur-Fascism that has relatively little to do with games or ethics. They are focused on a never ending war against feminists, which they label "social justice warriors".

Yea, no.
You try better than to compare anti-feminism to fascism.

 

[morningstar2651]

Shaddy DLC polices, blacklisting, DRM. Where have you been?

And what has GamerGate done to address these concerns?

Nothing, because GamerGate doesn't care about these things.

Ur-Fascism?

I guess "fascism" alone just doesn't sound evil enough. That might have been an effect of calling every movement opposed to the left fascist.

 

[morningstar2651]

Yea, no.

It's a comparison of the psychology of fascism that was made in the article I posted in the OP. Did you not read the article before commenting on it?

Pay attention.

Attacking a political philosophy through psychological analysis has less grounding in reality than phrenology did.

 

[morningstar2651]

Do the fact that majority of GG label themselves are left leaning libertarian mean anything to you?
I am not a political expert, but I am pretty sure that fascism is consider to be you know right wing?

No they don't. They are not left leaning.

 

[super animator]

No they don't. They are not left leaning.

Wrong.
