Yes feminism is a global jewish conspiracy. same as the nobel prize.

nita Sarkeesian & Co. have begun lobbying for internet censorship laws and coordinated, expansive, mass blocking of anyone who posts certain types of content.

Under these laws, publicly insulting or disagreeing with someone using digital communication would be considered a hate crime. Using this standard, anyone who’s ever had an argument online could be fined or jailed.

This is what feminists and social justice warriors want — the end of free speech, and the beginning of totalitarianism on the net.

Christ Sylvia, you're really going into the SOCJUS hate. Being an early participant in the controversy early, I can tell you that there are legitimate concerns from both sides. The only reason there has been so much hysteria involved in the events is because radicals from both sides are perpetually stirring the pot and arguing over things they disagree are the main issue.

There is little doubt amongst most of the online gaming community that ethics in 'games journalism' and the industry itself are a joke. The Dorito-Popes actions in 2012 is a clear indicator that something is wrong. Misrepresentation is also an issue within games, it'd be great to see a wealth of new in-depth female protagonists. The only problem with that is that development studios and publishers understand that they must cater to a mostly male audience in order to maximise profits. As for the problem of a higher amount of abuse targeted towards female developers due to their gender, I personally haven't seen this within my experience of playing and have observed to opposite. Of course this is myself but I don't think that the gender of a developer will necessarily sway me not purchase a game, only the content of that game will influence that decision.

But of course at the end of the day, it's just vidya and why must people bother on either side. If people are dissatisfied with games media, then don't read or give them notice. If people are dissatisfied with misrepresentation within the industry, then look for a niche part of the market that does cater towards your desires.

It has nothing to do with that, it's all about muh sojiny.

ethical video game journalism? like cod winning best game of the year everytime and gets 10/10 even though its rehashed content.

theres bigger issues in vidja journalism than some guy getting his dick sucked over a shitty indie game.

This is very true, and exactly what they've done with every issue.

They've made it so that harassment towards women is treated as being even worse than harassment towards children.

Freedom of privacy?But what about the womyn?!?!?!

A country constantly at war?BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WOMYN?!?!?

Video games as a person's only escape from this world?THOSE GAMES ARE MISOGYNIST YOU NECKBEARD VIRGIN!!! WHAT ABOUT THE WOMYN!?!?! HERE IS ANITA'S SARKEESIAN! SHE IS IMPORTANT, AND DISAGREEING WITH HER IS MISOGYNY!!!

Every issue, from global warming, comic books, going to the washroom (standing while urinating is male dominance shitlord), has been taken over by SJWs and this bullshit. Unless you filter the world through a SJW lens of oppression where everything is potential oppression and misogyny, you aren't CHECKING YOUR PRIVILEGE.

These people have invaded every issue, discussion, and debate, and made it about THIS issue. A subjective world view that must be adopted or else you'll be removed from the social hierarchy that consists of the real oppression in this world.

No discussion or debate that would invalidate this worldview has been allowed to be acknowledged. It has been censored, ridiculed, or painted misogynist. Even C.H. Sommer's had a douche playing music cherry pick her argument instead of dealing with the fact that no link between playing games and sexist behaviour has ever been found.

They have taken a group that would have supported them, and shit all over them with SJW Authoritarianism. They have asked us to support their identities while they have tried to kill ours, over and over. They took over our forums, and invaded and colonized our culture the same way they've gentrified their SJWs strongholds of NYC, and San Francisco.They are the rich elite who inhabit our cities, who conduct cultural genocide against the people living there. They are more racist and oppressive in action than anyone else in the world. They come from families who become rich from the war between nations, and oppressing those who protest against it.

They are guilt ridden, but cannot themselves bare to deal with the responsibility of it.

So they blame us for it.

I say, NO to all these warmongering SJWs.

We gamers will have FREEDOM. All people will have FREEDOM. From Ferguson to Palestine, we will unite against you for our own humanity.We are #GamerGate, we will not rest, we cannot be killed.
