Are video games too sexist?
How aboot racist?
Including some asking if the game industry is sexist.
Games community is at each others throat when talking about the subject of race.
Racism in video games: The New Norm?
And some countries are responding to what they view as sexism in video games.
The more time a teenage boy spends playing video games, the more likely he will be to
develop sexist attitudes.
Too many games they say, perpetuate a culture of sexism and misogony.
Can video games influence racial stereotypes?
Saddle up, internet, were going there.
Here we go again.
Same old shit, dog just a different day.
Here we go again.
You know how niggas do when we play how we play.
Here we go again.
A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do.
Here we go again.
In the War Against Video Games we learned that theres always something destroying society,
and we learned that violence in video games had massive amounts of coverage and research
over the course of 40 years.
There was something to be said about violent media affecting the minds of people, yet it
overshadowed the sexism & equality debate, but the attacks on gaming from feminists and
sjws have had extensive coverage in the last 5+ years.
Sexism and Racism has been a topic of debate on the video game industry since the 1980s.
Although it never got that much attention back then, but as the industry continued to
grow and with the advent of the Internet allowing anyone to easily have their opinions seen
& heard, the issue of Sexism, Misogony, & race in gaming, started popping up all over media
websites, game journalists, on YouTube, everywhere.
The combined might of Feminism, the Social Justice movement, and the idea of Racial Diversity
and equality, was enough to bring up serious questions on the ethics of the video game
industry.
Are some video games sexist towards women, or racist towards certain ethnic groups?
Is it even a real issue?
With so many articles, videos and opinions floating around cyberspace, join me, as I
seek to understand both sides and settle the battle of Feminists and SJWs vs. Video Games.
In order to understand a current issue, we have to look back at what potentially caused
it.
We cant just look at WWII and be like, eh just a bunch of pissed of Germans wanted to
rule the world and kill jews, and that, children is a complete summary of the 2nd World War.
Theres more to it than that!
So to understand why Feminists and SJWs have been attacking the game industry, we have
to look back at the origins of that industry.
This part might not be as entertaining or fun as the rest of the video but goddamnit
this is the most critical point of the whole issue.
Its important to understand that video games are a business, and any business worth their
salt is going to identify the type of people that purchase their products.
Then theyll market and advertise to appeal to those consumers, to the demographic.
For example, my channel is entirely based on video games, which is why youll never see
me make a video on fucking leather belts or something.
LEATHER BELT?
AUUUGHH!
The target audience for video games back in the 70s & 80s was predominately young males,
teenagers, back then Arcades were tailored towards this demographic, as you can see in
this archive footage of gaming arcades, the people playing the games are almost entirely
boys, teenagers, and a few adult males.
One of the big breakthroughs in broadening the gaming demographic to women and girls
was Pac-Man.
Toru Iwatani the creator, intended the game to attract women to arcades, and it was successful,
spurning the sequel, Ms. Pac-Man.
If the game industry only appealed to one gender, theyre missing out on 50% of the population
and money they could be making.
A study done in 1982 found the percentage of male to female gamers was 80% male to 20%
female, roughly.
As the years went on, higher percentages of women played video games, recently a statistic
has been circling the web claiming women make up around or more than half of the gaming
population.
But this statistic doesnt mean weve reached a point where gaming as a whole has an equal
target demographic.
Because whats REALLY important, is understanding which genre of games male and females like
to play.
I want you to pay attention to this chart that lays out the percentages of women who
play which genre of game, notice that only 2 of the genres listed, are predominately
played by women.
I didnt even know what Match 3 was before this video, but its a genre of games where
you...
match 3 tiles... yea theres a genre for that.
So applying this chart to the gaming industry, it should be apparent why most games are marketing
to appeal to men.
By understanding how the target audience for video games has changed over the years, and
how it is currently, we see why video games were marketed and created with the male demographic
primarily in mind.
And how gaming culture has shaped into what it is today.
Remember this fucking chart because its goddamn important.
Are games racist?
Yea...
Mario, that is like a stereotype that runs around inside of your Nintendo, man.
This study, showing that playing video games for Caucasian college students could result
in racist thoughts and behavior.
The first scene is the black dude just getting his ass kicked, specifically by a white dude!
Sometimes I believe the hype man, we mess it up for ourselves and blame the white man.
But dont point the finger you jigga-boo, take a look at yourself ya dumb nigga you.
Whats happening to the video game industry right now, has been happening to Hollywood
and the film industry for the last century, though not nearly as extreme.
The same complaint made against Hollywood is being made against video games.
There isnt enough diversity What in the hells diversity?
For movies this had merit as discrimination and inequality was rampant in the film industry.
Dont get me wrong, its important that games and movies have a unique cast of characters,
to represent different types of people.
A diverse pool of people can bring interesting perspectives to the table.
But its not as simple as checking off the black, asian, and Mexican boxes for characters.
This creates tokenism, which is when a form of art or a story specifically inserts diverse
characters for no other reason than they feel they have to.
Not because it fits the framework of what theyre trying to do.
Ironically enough, when games do feature diverse locations or settings, they play the race
card if there are or arent representation for race X.
As in the case with Left 4 Dead 2.
What does Hurricane Katrina and setting the game in New Orleans have to do with one another?
And what do they have to do with racist undertones in video games?
Now I speak for myself, but I imagine most non-racist, non-sexist, people would agree.
When I watch a movie or play a game, I dont think to myself,
Oh hey, this has a black, lead character, thats diverse, thats good.
Im more interested in the writing, the cinematography, the sounds, the music, the dialogue, the character
itself.
Unless it relates to the subject matter of the story itself, I dont give a fuck about
the color of their skin.
I just want to be entertained and if possible, see a culture or idea Ive never seen before.
See the real problem is seeing a lack of diversity as a problem.
When you boil down the quality of any art or a narrative down to a gender or % of skin
tones you see in that art or narrative, you are making the diversity quota an issue.
Take this stereotypical hipster, Also some reasons as to why GTA V is actually objectively
sexist!
First up, reason one: 3 male leads.
Wha-?
Objectively sexist??
Ok is Charlies Angels objectively sexist?
That features 3 female leads.
What kind of fucking logic is that?
You got 3 lead characters, one of em isnt female?
Boom.
Sexism!
Its about discovering who your character is, and theres a lot more to that than skin color.
And the same goes for gender, sexuality, religion and all those other facets of diversity too.
Some of the games that have come under criticism from a lack of diversity or racism will just
blow your fucking mind.
You get to choose what torture device you get to use on the random brown guy.
So you can either electrocute him or waterboard him or pull his teeth out.
Its nice that you get to choose how to hate.
The racism has shifted from overt caricatures to overt actual, real-world racism.
Yes, some games do have stereotypes, but the mere depiction of a stereotype doesnt make
a game is racist.
If youre playing a game and you think the characters might be racist stereotypes, ask
yourself, Is this meant to depict a greater image about the characteristics of an entire
group of people?
Or is this just a simple, easy way for game developers to create diverse characters?
Or is it just meant to be funny?
The whole point of making fun of stereotypes is to allow us to laugh at ourselves.
Everytime white dudes pass out around each other they always do some borderline gay shit
when the guy is asleep.
These racial characterizations are spot on, again and again!
Even in some of the less prominent races.
The Spaniards, for example, are portrayed as effete be-clawed homosexuals in colorful
spandex.
Just as they are in real life.
So when people get so butthurt over this kind of stuff, I think its a sign of insecurity.
Its only racist if it was made with racist intent
One of the most controversial was Resident Evil 5.
Which was based in Africa and had you fight against zombies with dark skin.
Yet the way SJWs reacted to this, it seems to imply we cant have video games set in the
continent of Africa, because doing so is inherently racist.
The most racist game I played recently was probably Resident Evil 5.
The bad guys in this game, which are all just Africans with spears, literal spears that
theyre chucking at you.
Its in Africa, its been in Antacrtica.
Its been I think, in Spain?
Its been in the Midwest.
Wasnt racist then, why should it be racist now?
Its in Africa.
Have fun with the game!
Play the game!
If location can make a game racist, then why isnt the Jewish community in an uproar over
games that take place in Germany?
And heres another question, if they made the indigenous people of the villages in resident
Evil 5 white, wouldnt you have still complained because the game was inaccurate?
And the developers failed to depict the people of the villages in a proper manner?
Of course you would.
That would be something to complain about!
Take Witcher 3 for example, made by a polish game developer, based on a novel written by
a Polish man in Poland, who based that novel on Polish mythology and Euorpean folklore.
Now Witcher 3 came under fire and criticism because it features an all white cast.
You wanna know why there arent any black, asian or mexican dudes in Witcher 3?
For the exact same reason that African movies feature mostly African people.
Action packed movie!!!
Or Chinese films feature mostly, you wont get this Chinese people!
Because any piece of art is going to reflect the culture from where it originates.
Remember when I talked about target audience?
Well the majority of people in America are White, the majority of sexual orientation
is straight, and the majority of people who play hardcore games are Men.
So if you use your handy dandy notebook and tally up the numbers, youd see the reason
why so many games have straight white male protagonists and characters is because thats
the goddamn demographic!
Well I want you to guess the demographic population of Poland.
J-j-just take a guess!
Take a second.
If you guessed 98.5% White, youreright!!
Skin color does not define culture.
And thats the point I want to me, culture in video games is more important than skin
color.
Ill say this once more, skin color does not define culture.
But this article by polygon seems to think otherwise.
Reviews have lavished praise, perfect scores and awards on it.
While some reviews have mentioned issues such as sexism, none I read mentioned another crucial
misstep: Not a single human in the game is a person of color.
And its tied to a central issue here that gaming as whole needs to face: Concerns of
minority groups are not only ignored, theyre so often not even considered.
Yes, according to, Tauriq here.
Representing people of color is an issue the entire gaming industry needs to face no matter
what country you come from.
Because fuck your nation, fuck your culture, fuck your history give me diversity or Ill
write a shitty, racist article about it.
Almost every Witcher 3 review I came across was written by a white man
WHO GIVES A FUCK?
Are you here to review the game or just be fuckin racist?
"Historically accurate" is another common defense for many awful actions in fiction.
WHAT?!
ARE YOU SAYING CHANGE HISTORY?!
FOR THE SAKE OF DIVERSITY!
WHAT FUCKIN PLANET DO YOU LIVE ON?
This goes to show no matter what you do, someone will be pissed off about it.
So who would DICE rather piss off with Battlefield 1?
Historians & fans of the series?
Or a bunch of butthurt, blathering babies that want to see history changed to include
women in a war that they barely even fought in?
Who would CD Projekt Red rather piss off?
The Polish nation, the people and mythology of Poland?
Or some fuckwit dingos that care too much about skin color?
Tauriq Moosa saw a game gaining massive praise and attention, and he saw nobody talking about
the lack of colored people, so he was like, B-b-but what about people of color?!
YOU RACISTS!
You dehumanizing racist fucks!
You want equality?
How many Polish video games are there?
That you know about?
Guarentee for 99% of gamers, this is it.
This is Polands video game industry.
How many people of color have you seen in video games, HUNDREDS!
So rather than rejoice, like this guy, in the fact that the Polish nation can take pride
in one of their works being so critically acclaimed, by the WORLD!
This backwards asshat of a man, tries to self-victimize himself and disregard the nation of Poland.
Obama doesnt even play games and he recognizes the accomplishments of the Polish people in
making the Witcher games.
This article is a perfect example of how SJWs can get so wrapped up in their own ideology,
that they dont realize what theyre writing is racist, culturally insensitive, virtue
signaling propaganda . That attacks the very diversity it seeks to promote.
I bet most of you watching this right now, never actually thought to yourself, hey I
havent seen a (insert skin color of person that isnt white) in this game.
You know why you dont think that?
Cuz youre a normal person that doesnt look and judge things based on skin color.
Isnt that the point of equality?
To highlight the fact that we are all equal?
That we are all human beings?
That skin color is irrelevant?
If so, why does it matter what the color of anyones fucking skin is??
America has a big history with race because we are a very diverse country.
But as Morgan Freeman wisely said: How are we gonna get rid of racism?
Stop talking about it.
Stop making it an issue.
Stop trying to put race into every discussion, into every piece of media and art.
Stop trying to make race an issure.
People are so concerned about diversity that theyll write page after page, article after
article why not just write a diverse story?
I think a lot of these people spend so much time behind Twitter, that they forget they
have two hands, they have a brain, they have the ability to create, to design, to explore,
to imagine.
They have all of these tools at their disposal, but instead of actually taking the time to
put their money where theyre fucking mouth is, they sit behind a computer screen and
complain.
These types of articles are systematic problems of game journalist ethics, and their resort
to clickbait and cause controversy around popular well-known games.
Is there a lack of diverse people from different cultures as video game characters and in the
industry?
Perhaps, but its not really an issue, thats just the demographics of America.
Now if you want to change what video game companies appeal to, youd need to change the
demographics, and good luck with that.
But it seems to me like these people want to change the way our culture and other cultures
& countries create art, to fit their own standards and ideologies of diversity and racial acceptance
and that seems far more damaging to society, then a lack of diversity ever could be.
Because the more you make an issue of race and color, the more you make race and color
an issue.
Despite the number of articles and videos Ive gone through, its hard to even understand
what it is Feminists and SJWs want from all the commotion theyre causing.
What really is the end goal or the vision they are seeking?
Ok so youre tired of seeing sexy women in video games, so you want unattractive women
in video games?
Why?
You want unattractive men in video games?
Why?
Its art, you can make your characters look however you want.
I feel retarded even having to say this, but people like things that are attractive.
You want more diversity in the skin color of characters?
Ok, how much more do you want?
How are you gonna get it?
So they want more women and colored people working in the industry.
Alright, so why are you not directing your articles towards the minority groups you want
represented?
Why arent you trying to convince them a job in the game industry is something to be desired?
Theres a reason certain jobs are dominated by a specific group, women just arent as interested
in engineering as men are.
Is the engineering industry sexist women arent interested in it?
Fuck no.
People like different things and there is no perfect harmony of equality that can be
achieved in every industry across the globe.
Im constantly wondering what the goal is.
An equal amount of men & women, Colored people in video games, making video games, playing
games and promoting them?
Is that even realistic?
Its hard to find a feminist or SJW that can articulate their points in a way that gamers
can empathize with and still be somewhat respectable.
But at least there is one, the factual Feminist.
Are there video games that are ripe with sexism?
Do they promote a culture of misogyny and violence that must be dismantled?
Well, my answer is no.
As far as I can tell, there really is no tangible end goal for these people, its all about pushing
an ideology, conforming people to that ideology, begging for attention, clicks, views, and
virtue signaling.
You see so many of these videos and articles dont actually provide a solution or a means
to get there, its just bitching and moaning.
In the quest for diversity and equality, it appears what feminists and sjws want games
to do is pretty straightforward.
More women in strong roles, ethnically diverse characters and protagonists, , armor should
not be lingerie, etc.
I think that sounds reasonable.
But looking past the surface value of these blanket statements and actually listening
to what these people want, becomes an indecipherable paradox.
And there is so many layers of irony its hard to wrap your mind around it.
You cant portray woman as victims of violence or abuse.
You cant portray women as being violent or abusive.
Cant portray women as sexy.
Women in the industry cant portray women as being sexy.
You cant not portray women at all.
You cant portray a woman being rescued by a man.
You cant portray black people getting killed, you cant portray black people killing.
You cant portray any stereotype.
You cant have a game set in the continent of Africa.
You cant not portray people of all the different skin colors and genders, regardless of if
it makes no sense within the context of the game.
Would you like it if we only made games that were approved of by every single person on
the planet? Thats a good idea, huh?
But if that were the case, I guess game production would stop in its tracks and no game would
ever get made again.
Well if we listened to these people, what can we do?
Thats the thing, theyd never be happy.
Because most of these Feminists and SJWs are complaining about video games to an American
audience, but then try to take games from other countries and apply American principles
to those.
Whats that?
Japanese companies are making games showing scantily clad women playing VOLLEYBALL?
S-tereotyping people from other nations?
QUICKLY!
AMERICAN PRINCIPLE CARD ACTIVATE!
Well as you probably noticed most of the people who criticize video game content for being
offensive or problematic tend to be Americans speaking to an American audience.
But since American studios are not responsible for producing so much of what gets criticized,
it seems to me that any criticism that fails to distinguish between American studios and
Japanese studios is deeply unfocused and unproductive.
Ironic how the stereotypical American policing the world is trying to control what game companies
from other nations put in their games.
Youre becoming the American Stereotype that you dont want represented in video games.
Yet you believe you own the world, that because your American, your sense of morality is better
than every other country.
All these propositions from Feminists and SJWs is just restriction.
silencing certain expression of speech, which ironically is against American principles.
And the most ironic part, is all these Feminists and SJWs complain about the sexism, racism,
yada yada in video games but at the end of the day who do they expect to fix this problem
in a male dominated industry?
Theres nothing more hilarious in my book when someone bites off more than they can chew,
and blames the food when they choke.
It takes a special type of thinking to believe you can attack and harass a group of people
and call yourself a victim when they swing back.
Let alone against a community of people that have been attacked by mainstream media, by
politicians by their parents, by just about everything.
Thats what so many of these feminists and SJWs do, is constantly play victim to the
point that they actually make it a profession.
After all, Brianna Wu is making 40% of Barack Obamas salary for simply existing, so this
harassment narrative is working quite well for them.
But Ill take a note from Sarkeesians book: when women constantly portray themselves as
victims, it disempowers them because now they need to be saved by someone else.
And they cant deal with the threats they face on their own.
Coincidentally, Ill be discussing Gamergate as well.
Look, nobody approves of death threats but if youre gonna publicly insult and demonize
millions of gamers and the industry they love, you cant act shocked when you get threats
like that.
These people didnt attack you first, you attacked them, you werent doing anything then you attacked
them.
Not to mention, its the fucking internet!
People on the internet are GAMERS!
If you dont want to be harassed, dont incite the wrath of the internet.
The logic of Professional victims is something like this, Im sure this is a fallacy in some
philosophy book, the I am being targeted and harassed by many people of the side I am opposing,
therefore you should take my side, because youre an empathetic human, and these barbarians
are threatening me.
You know, theres an age old saying, dont talk shit, if you cant take a hit.
You suck Hulk Hogan dick and you fucking suck Hulk Hogan ass.
This is why societies have their own form of checks and balances right.
When someones talking shit outta their mouth, society checks that person so they dont wreck
themselves.
Right, but if the person is so arrogant and self-absorbed that they cant check themselves,
their gonna wreck themselves.
Theres also the famous story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and it particularly applies to
the case of Brianna Wu.
For those that dont know, Brianna Wu is a professional victim, and shes actually a dude,
real name, John Flynt.
Yup shes a real fucking Frank Fontaine, and a con artist who perpetuates harassment towards
himself for personal gain.
Now dont take this as a knock against trans people, because the point is John Flynt uses
his experience as a woman to justify his terrible actions and gain support through donations.
With the amount of evidence showing his false flagging, creating accounts to harass himself,
and narcissistic way of tying every tragedy back to him, its hard to take any possible
death threat against him seriously.
And this is one of the spearheads of the Anti-Gamergate Movement.
Why should anyone believe this death threat wasnt fabricated like the others?
John Flynt had brought on the wolves so hard so many times, that now hes being harassed
by people because he faked being harassed and is trying so hard to become a victim.
Its a self-fullfilling prophecy.
At least death threats are exactly what they are, but this maliciousness is far worse than
that.
Purposely inciting hatred and diverting police resources away from actual issues all for
the sake of what?
Equal representation in video games?
Or is it more likely self-gain.
Then weve got Zoe Quinn, another con artist who once again takes on multiple aliases.
Eh she did a little bit of porn here, but you know, that doesnt matter.
Because her corruption and the shittiness of her character has been well exposed and
documented.
Like John Flynt, shes got a shady as fuck background that if you want to know more,
check the description for a link.
Of course, theres Anita Sarkeesian, and fuck me Im gonna spend time dissecting that turd
basket.
But you know people like this really make me appreciate Jack Thompson, though an irrational,
single-minded guy who was wrong about pretty much everything he said and did.
At least he was straight forward, and sometimes actually had good intentions; he wasnt a fucking
snake like these witches.
He wasnt a self-victimizing cunt, just a dude fighting the wrong battle.
Now the optimist in me wants to believe that many of these SJWs and Feminists have good
intentions, but people like Brianna Wu, Zoe Quinn, and Anita Sarkeesian make me think
those people with good intentions are doing it for nothing more than selfish, personal
gain.
When youve got this type of representation at the top of your movement, it makes everyone
else look like shit.
And thats the real tragedy of these self-victimizing lunatics.
At the end of the day, this was a war waged by feminists and SJWs, they brought the fire,
but we had more fire.
Any positive message that couldve actually done some good in the world and in the game
industry, was shoved behind a mess of pathological lying, manipulation corruption, hatred, and
narcissism, this resulting in their attempts at making the game industry more inclusive
and representing women more fairly, utterly meaningless.
Gamergate was successful and the people that opposed it so fervently were exposed as the
narcissistic, hate-mongering bigots that they are.
Im going to briefly talk about some of Anitas videos, but more importantly how the greater
message behind her work is inherently flawed and inconsequential.
This brings us to one of the core reasons why the trope is so problematic and pernicious
for womens representations.
Woah woah woah, look Anita, you want me to get my fucking English teacher in here?
Because English must not have been your strong suit, if it was youd know that a trope is
a storytelling tool.
The tale of how Krystal went from protagonist of her own epic adventure to the passive victim
in someone elses game, illustrates how the damsel in distress disempowers female characters.
Alright, so does the Wimpy kid trope disempower boys?
Do you see anyone making a big fucking deal about Urkel?
Does the dumb muscle trope disempower men?
No its a type of fucking character.
So the damsel trope typically makes men the subject of narratives while relegating women
the role of object, this is a form of objectification This is a form of objectification, because
as objects, damseled women are being acted upon.
What about Zelda?
Shes a damsel in distress and even in that role shes the title of the game, not only
that, sometimes she fucks shit up!
How about Bastilla who starts off as a damsel in distress, she is labeled as a prize as
a slave, but again she fucks shit up!
And shes not a prize for just a male character, you can be a female character too!
She even becomes stronger when she turns to the dark side and is still damsel in distresss.
How about Princess Fiona?
Shes a pretty badass damsel in distress.
You see you cant just take a single trope from storytelling, and suddenly start to say,
NOW!
Its implementation in video games, is disempowering women or a specific group in the real world.
Why the fuck was it not doing that for the last 5,000 years?
Its all about how the storyteller uses this trope, not that the trope itself is the problem.
The heros fight to retrieve his stolen property then provides the lazy justification for the
actual gameplay.
You know, at least I can partially agree with Anita here, because in many cases it is lazy.
But when the demographic is primarily men, theyre going to naturally be appealed to this
trope.
Because they have that inner fantasy of rescuing a woman of being a hero themselves.
Its not about sexual objectification.
Its not about the disempowerment of women, its about overcoming a challenge, feeling
proud of that and saving someone.
So while it is a somewhat lazy and overused trope in video games, its not inherently sexist,
its all about what the storyteller or artist chooses to portray.
There is no single storytelling mechanic that is detrimental to society or disempowers people.
I appreciate the thought, effort and research that mustve gone into making these videos.
I can really appreciate that.
Games need to be fun before they can tell a good story, so I understand why games have
a lazy justification.
But this series is nothing more than an analysis of the damsel in distress trope in video games.
All these videos that took $160,000 dont mean diddly-dick if you cant prove or show some
kind of point, which was your goal.
But theres no prove that this trope is damaging, theres just hearsay.
How could you even quantify the damage this causes?
Its like that South Park episode Cartoon Wars, if you allow one group of people to dictate
what is and isnt ok to use in storytelling, in art then every other group can do the same,
until storytelling becomes a stale art restricted only by what will or wont hurt peoples feelings.
All this does is advocate for restrictive storytelling.
Try and think of the game development industry as a big club house with Boys Only written
on the front, right.
Even if its by accident nerd culture does manage to exclude women and LGBTQ+ people
in a bunch of different ways.
Were saying gaming can no longer be this little boys club anymore.
One of the biggest points people like Sarkeesian make is that gamers want to remain a boys
club.
Or that we dont to include other people with differing sexual preferences or whatever.
This is so far from the truth of what is at the core of the gaming experience.
Which is being an all-inclusive club.
For so many years, gaming was looked at as a thing for nerds, geeks.
The stereotypical 35 year old man living in his moms basement was paraded around as if
it represented all gamers.
They used to get bullied for being nerds and games like Dungeons and Dragons were a source
of refuge for these people.
They could enjoy the things they loved with other people that felt the same way, and not
worry about being discriminated or made fun of.
Not worry about their parents scolding them, or what the news media was saying.
To just have fun playing what they loved.
The idea that we dont want more women or people of color playing or making video games is
just absurd.
Thats why we like seeing hot women in video games because we wish we had girlfriends,
that played video games with us!
So no straight male gamer would EVER look at a girl that plays video games as something
bad.
I mean if I had girlfriend that played video games?
Man, fuck making out, having sex and all that gay shit lets go play Halo, dude.
Lets fuck shit up in Dark Souls, lets play a Mario Kart drinking game.
This flawed concept that gamers were harassing women because theyre sexist and dont want
them in the industry was the basis of the anti-gamergate position.
And the reason for their self-victimization.
Which is why Not Your Shield became a movement.
Anti-gamergate was using minorities and women as a shield and saying they were on the side
of those minorities.
Its the gaming community that is that has risen up because it is tired of being lied
about and slandered by its own press.
Realistically, unless youre playing Dota, League of Legends, or Call of Duty multiplayer.
Gamers dont care if youre gay, what color your skin is, or if youre a girl.
All we care about is having fun and sometimes being competitive.
RRRRRAAADODODODRAAADODODDOOOOOO!!
RAAADODODODODODO RAAADODODOOOO ROOO- EEEYYYYYYYEAAAAAAA!!!
Gaming is a medium that people of all walks of life can meet and make friends online.
People from different countries, or with disabilities, social outcasts, you know everyone can have
a home in gaming if theyre a good person at heart.
And they share their love with others.
In fact the world of games is rich and diverse and theres room for everyone!
So why give young women this discouraging message, that theyre not wanted?
So no, we dont wanna be a boys club, we want diversity, we want to meet people from different
countries, of different ethnicities.
What we dont want, is a social ideology infesting and restricting the hobby we love.
Now lets wrap this up and talk Real Shit.
Just as it was with the War Against Video Games, the idea that video games and the industry
itself is racist, sexist, homophobic, pro-genocide or whatever, has no real concrete evidence
or proof.
Its the exact same problem as before, you got these studies that say gamers become more
X after playing Y and answering the question Z.
Because correlation always proves causation, doesnt it?
Like this graph, showing per capita cheese consumtion and the number of people who died
by becoming tangled in their bedsheets.
Or this one which clearly shows that margarine consumption is directly responsible for the
divorce rate in Maine.
Because correlation always implies causation.
Simply put, there are no statistics, research, or proof that could lead one to reasonably
believe video games cause racial or sexist thoughts, and itd be an even farther stretch
to imagine any sort of trope, stereotype, or lack of diversity in a video game having
real world consequences.
Would-be game reformers need to connect the games they criticize to negative world consequences.
They need to show, not dogmatically assume that video games make people sexist.
The burden of proof rests with them.
Heck, even when Anita and John Flynt went to the UN and wrote up a report on cyberbulling
against women, the UN after publishing the article, retracted it because the evidence
presented in it was cited from bogus studies and discredited research.
So if youre good enough to get to the freaking United Nations and you still cant make a case,
Im sorry but youre shit outta luck.
And I can see the good intentions and well-meaning opinions of some of these feminists and SJWs,
and quite frankly Id like to see more diverse stories and games.
Different points of views we hardly ever see.
I think there is a genuine value in there that should be tapped by the gaming industry.
I think you can be more diverse and represent women in a way thats good, without having
to cave to all the ridiculous demands.
It all just comes back to: what do artists want to do with their work?
What do they want to achieve?
And I think its great when games put their characters in roles much different then what
were used to.
Its always nice to see something refreshing that breaks the mold.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of these sjw feminist articles and videos are just
so ideologically driven and intent on changing the gaming industry, rather than these people
being passionate game makers that want to add more of what they want to see.
They cant, and havent reached the gaming audience because of the way they articulate their points.
Its a vicious cycle of complaining about X, but not actually doing or writing anything
that would encourage people to change X, then when these peoples ideas are criticized they
hide in a shell, play victim and soak up as much sympathy as possible like a parasite.
All while hiding behind the cover of saying gamers want to be a boys club.
Its non-productive, it distracts from real issues, and aside from getting a few laughs
from these lolcows, its just a waste of time.
Im sure tackling the discrimination of gays in Russia or role of women in Saudi Arabia
is a much more important issue than what color of skin or what clothes video game characters
have.
This quest for equality and diversity wasnt a highly publicized issue until just a few
years ago.
It wasnt an issue, until it was made an issue.
Until gaming itself was attacked.
To summarize, Ill go back to that great quote from Penn.
To try to blame Shakespeare and the violence in Shakespeare and the violence in art for
violence that happens in the real world, is something that has been tried for years and
is always wrong.
It really is as simple as that.
Blaming media and art for violence, racism and sexism, has been tried for years and is
always wrong.
After GamerGate, many of these SJWs and Feminists had faded into the abyss of obscurity.
The views on Feminist Frequency were down, the PBS channel stopped uploading videos,
and though some games and developers were affected by their ideologies, I believe, video
games will revert back to being the art form they were always meant to be.
Yeah someone sent nasty words on the twitter, can we get the FBI to investiage, perhaps?
No, you know whats sexist?
You know whats a tiring plot device?
You, Anita.
Something being offensive is entirely subjective.
For example, your obsurdly thick-rimmed glaess, they offend me they offend me greatly!
Youre not actually bashing and killing and doing terrible things to women!
Its a GAAAAME!
Its a video game!
This totally proves that video games cause sexist attitudes.
Thats why there was absolutely no Sexism in the world before video games.
