Re: GamerGate - and it's continuing aftermath.
I don't care if social media stays or goes, as long as this multi-million dollar bunfight causes the cultural neuroses driving stuff like this:
To recede a little.
I'm dumb too, I don't want to get my knackers nailed to the floor IRL because I called someone the wrong colour a racist cracker asshole. (that's POC erasure AND cultural appropriation)

Re: GamerGate - and it's continuing aftermath.
I understand highlighting toxic self-promoters. But as far as the larger movement itself goes though, do you guys think more generally that there isn't actually a problem with people being total shitters towards women in particular, or is that kind of separate from all of this in your view?

I don't think it's a hatred of women, or hatred in general, at the heart of the bunfight.

I could be wrong, I've made no secret of my bemusement at the whole thing. I'm unclear as to its exact scope and configuration too. I'm sure there's some real cunts out there under the general umbrella of "Jesus fuck, why are they shilling Depression Quest at us? I survived FMV gaming for this?!" But then I'm pretty sure they'd call both of us faggots for objecting to some of the ranker GG-affiliated material, like that gross "beat up Juanita" game (to name something I found offputting). Just like their opposite numbers would no doubt call me a misogynist for pointing out documented scams, and question your character for even discussing this. I don't care about those types either way, although admittedly the latter do amuse me.
I believe women as a demographic are being used as cover for a bunch of scammers and miscellaneous shitty people. Some of whom are women, like Zoe Quinn and Jessica Price, and others who are simply ripoff artists with a nose for human shields, like John Flynt. The latter I distinguish from bonafide snake oil salesmen like JUANITA-CHAN, who I think was treated kinda harshly at first! Less so later on as she became more of a racketeer, eg the infamously piss-poor, swiftly-disavowed UN speech alongside Scammer #1.or is that kind of separate from all of this in your view?

Re: GamerGate - and it's continuing aftermath.
There is no tangible problem of people being “total shitters towards women in particular”, no. There are some people who are “shitters” generally, both male and female, whose behaviours impact both men and women. This has always been the case. It’s how the imperfect world works. Just be comfortable knowing that improvements in society, either by free will or government doctrine, has made western women the strongest and most empowered in the world today. They are not nearly as downtrodden as certain campaigners would have you believe.Zerst wrote:I understand highlighting toxic self-promoters.

There is, however, a beleaguered and desperate want by certain groups for there to be a genuine conglomerate of “shitters towards women” because it gives them sudden purpose. They can leap to a moral high ground atop a fabricated hay bail of imagined indignation and outrage and back-pat themselves for the good feels they feel for being so righteous. Helluva drug, moral superiority.
And to answer your question, I don’t think any of this is separate; it’s all one enormous, crappy, embarrassing mess of humanity, the same as the messes we’ve seen before and undoubtedly will see again.
I also implore people to stop using “toxic” to describe everything. It’s one of those buzzwords that grinds to the bone.

That's probably part of it, yeah.

True, but at the same time, I would argue that the scammers and shitty people are, themselves, providing noise cover for more general unhealthy behavior from a demographic that has cultivated socially-maladjusted sectors (e.g. MOBA, Call of Duty, Battle Royale games). I think at least part of the frustration from the left comes from this part being largely ignored in favor of giving all the attention to the former.BIL wrote:I believe women as a demographic are being used as cover for a bunch of scammers and miscellaneous shitty people.

A sense of Moral superiority, sure, but fundamentally it gives them a sense of identity that they invariably lack.Skykid wrote:There is, however, a beleaguered and desperate want by certain groups for there to be a genuine conglomerate of “shitters towards women” because it gives them sudden purpose.

I call these people "Vampire Hunters". The apex of their self worth is based on the Monsters that they create, to fill the vacuum of their soulless existence.
They live very exciting lives, what with Nazis, Racists, Misogynists around every corner.
Its not all fun and games, though. They end up actually creating the Monsters.
These fantasists, are the type that embrace "Communism", to further their self interests.
The very same "Communism", that effects a "Far Right" antidote, each . . . and . . . every . . . time.

Re: GamerGate - and it's continuing aftermath.
No, but don’t inflate the issue. I’ve been verbally “harassed” by children in online gaming purely because they’re just that: children. It’s not something you dwell on for the rest of the day.Do you think there's an equivalence of men being spammed day and night with unsolicited notifications from thirsty individuals in a society that is becoming increasingly dependent on social media?
I firmly believe that women are harassed online to a greater degree than men because of their gender, and I don’t think that’s ok. I also don’t think it means the sky is falling, either. The internet is a world of faceless non-boundaries where you put yourself into a virtual space to interact. Some amount of distastefulness comes with the territory. I don’t suppose that if I walked down a high street and attempted to interact with every busy denizen that every one would be cordial to me. Quite the opposite.
You need to remember that online “harassment” has been boiled down to its lowest common denominator too - even making compliments can be perceived as a harassing action.
The point is, grow thicker skin. The world is complex and aggressive. There is no way to cotton pad every nook or wider extremity. And it’s not a global conspiracy to harangue women out of job roles and off of the internet; that’s a figment put forth by those selfishly seeking higher stature with weaponised moral designs.

Re: GamerGate - and it's continuing aftermath.
There are undoubtedly latent Mark David Chapmans lurking in all sorts of fandoms. Being perhaps charitable to GG, however, it seems unreasonable to hold a potential lunatic over the heads of dissatisfied gamers. Sounds a bit too close to indulging Brianna Wu's flagrantly manufactured home evacuations and Massachusetts Death Races.Zerst wrote:That's probably part of it, yeah.

These jokers can't generate that level of noise unaided, though, and again being charitable to GG: I don't think they were the movement's target. Rather, it was their enablers in the press. The old party line, yes, but the media's unquestioning promotion of these characters and their narrative remains. See the ongoing Jessica Price incident, sneering abuse spun with all the press's might into a heroic stand against the patriarchy. Zoe Quinn has yet again taken the money and ran, as her recent DC Comics deal receives glowing coverage. Wu remains a celebrated game developer and the world's foremost expert on cybersecurity. Surely she'll patch her uncompletably broken game for its upcoming second anniversary. To borrow a since-unemployed journalist's term, the megaphone is real, and four years on it's still being used to push one frowzy bill of goods.True, but at the same time, I would argue that the scammers and shitty people are, themselves, providing noise cover for more general unhealthy behavior from a demographic that has cultivated socially-maladjusted sectors (e.g. MOBA, Call of Duty, Battle Royale games).

As a detached observer I find it bleakly amusing, especially Wu - a vaporous eldritch nothing, bred of utter journalistic dereliction - but I can imagine how frustrating this gets for anyone invested in current gaming. Surely there are also those of no ulterior motives or ingrained hatreds who simply find witch rubbing games skeevy, and they have my sympathies also. I hope I've not become part of that megaphone and made their lot worse with my shitposting, even in our tiny corner of the internet. Sheeit.
Unsure what can or even should be done about COD miscreants. Not making excuses for bad behaviour, it just seems endemic to anonymous online communication, and an issue well beyond this bunfight's scope. TBH I'm not certain they are part of this divide, so much as an idly feral third party. The only documented SWATting victim I know of is pro-GG's harmless, boneless Mundane Matt.

People that don't hold an accredited degree in computer science shouldn't ever comment on coding safer software.
There's no such thing as computer security; it can't be done. If you want secure information, lock it in a file cabinet and hire armed guards. Don't leave your personal information laying about on your computer.
I'm not an engineer, so I don't go round telling people how to design bridges and roads. I would appreciate the same courtesy.
