Absolutely, and god knows I understand.This is just unfair. I have nobody to talk about video games in real life, of course I am going to talk about them and gaming related material on a gaming forum.
This is one of my favourite moments in a videogame. Sure, it's batshit crazy AI wanting to censor the world, but so much of what is said is so true about our failings as a species. We act like fucking idiots on the internet.Some-Mist wrote:
You see?

Let me put a little twist on your metaphor. Had it been a woman WHO MADE A GOOD GAME that got greenlit who had been outed for banging five journalists, I say there would have been no controversy. A few crude jokes, but no outrage.Skykid wrote:Had it been a man who had been outed for banging five journalist women to get cred for his game he would have been levelled up to Don Juan status and the five broads would have had to fasten their armour for a three month slut-shaming storm.

The disgusting Jade Raymond photoshops in response to Ubisoft pushing her more than they'd like in the marketing of Assassin's Creed, when she personally did absolutely nothing personally besides being female?
Are you absolutely sure about that?evil_ash_xero wrote:The Jennifer Lawrence facial is a confirmed fake.

I have no idea why you're so factual about Quinn fucking for good reviews. That's by far the least likely and most absurd accusation of them all.

Yeah right. You guys need to grow up.

How about you try some common fucking sense? The reaction of the gaming world to "Bioware misrepresented the ending of a game" involved rape/death threats. The fact that there's a couple assholes who threaten to kill someone every time anything happens should have nothing to do with reasonable discussion.

Akiko Kuroda and Mari Shimazaki, off the top of my head. I was going to get more names, but I just realized that the only reason anybody gives the slightest shit about some woman getting harassed is that she's a white woman. So equality, much progressive, wow.Any woman in gaming is a target for anything.

I don't give a fuck about the gender of the recipient, it's fucking vile. And it isn't just a couple of assaults, sadly the gaming 'community' has embarrassed itself in this manner time and time again.Volteccer_Jack wrote:How about you try some common fucking sense?

It's not particular to gamers, it's people in general. X disagrees with Y -> X harasses / threatens Y. There's no new magic here put into the mix by gaming - it's just the internet gives the opportunity for X to be a much bigger number. People have been harassed to the point of suicide on Facebook.Marc wrote:I don't give a fuck about the gender of the recipient, it's fucking vile.

A disproportionate number of users on this forum fit in the above group. So those of you who can identify with the above, sit back this evening, shoot some aliens, have a drink with me and lets toast the calmer waters ahead.As for the 'gamer' label itself. I was a gamer before most of these people fighting or preaching touched a joystick, those of us who have been around that long have seen 'gamer' attacked for various reasons over the years and we're still here. And long after these latest idiots drop from view we will still be here, until it's time to turn out the lights or until we've passed into the abyss. I feel a considerable level of detachment from the whole situation, it's like a passing storm.

"I don't know, that's just the internet," I said.
"Don't you get what that means, though?"
"Not really," I replied.
"Jesus H. You're a bright kid but you sure like to wear an asshole's costume every once in a while. It means that the future leaders of your country, I say your 'cause I'll have long decomposed, are gonna be people that have absolutely no experience with actual confrontation. Thirty years from now the President of the most powerful country in the world is going to be some little shit who sat at his computer and hurled insults three feet away from his mommy's tit like it was no big deal. I don't condone fighting, but when a human being understands that his or her actions might result in a giant fist up his or her ass, he or she learns a thing or two about acting before they speak. All I'm saying is, I'm glad I'm going to be dead. Also, happy birthday. That's why I called."

There are two such images in with a large number of photos and they all seem genuine.
I agree, to a point. But when gaming has been attacked in times past, it wasn't the big deal it is now. It's an industry that makes as much money as any other, yet it still feels socially awkward to answer 'gaming' when asked about pastimes. I dunno, I guess you summed it up above. People.
