People always say all the bad will die off with older generation, but gamer culture says otherwise

If people are raised and surrounded by garbage, the chances that they become something else when they grow up is very low I would think because they ultimately don't know any better. Always exceptions but kids latch onto their parents beliefs more often then they think they do.

It's easy to say that in the modern connected age that people should be more easily educated but it's made it much easier in a number of ways to further separate yourself from people with opposing views or beliefs and cement your own.

I don't know the whole story and If my post isn't good for this but I think that's dumb
, they have no right to send them hatemail for what they believe in.

Interesting to see The Gamers show their true colours at every opportunity and yet... other Gamers defend them... at every opportunity.

It's almost like they're bad and until we face up to the fact that there are reasons that this hobby continues to attract cunts en masse things won't get any better.

"But there are bad people everywhere" isn't going to cut it in 2018.

I don't know where you are going with this, because both instances are "toxic behavior in the gaming community is trash".

These are socially challenged,probably mentally challenged individuals. They dont hate women because they are gamers but because something is wrong with them.
Were the KKK gamers? Nazis perhaps?
Are you serious with this bullshit?

Developers deserve our sympathy, CEOs do not. Seize the means of production, comrade.

i agree, this guy is a hack and let him rot, i just think we are falling into a trap that going to empower gamergate. I have a mental illness and when i am being compare to the nazis from the progressive it makes me sad.

the hate groups target the mentalily unstable, when you have progressive saying they are insane they won't think logacl and start siding with gamergate.

I guess the logic is that racists and some kind of monolithic entity, and so in order to say that the gaming community has a racism issue then the gaming community must also be congruent with every racist throughout history.

But I don't think they're serious in the sense that they used that logic to read a conclusion, so much as using it to avoid one. Some people are desperate to make the criteria for defining a racist, a sexist, a transphobe and the like so stringent that no living human being can actually meet them.

Let me ask you this:

Do you personally want to side with gamergate when people say "gamers suck"?

I'd call it a "this is why Trump won" for the gaming sphere, except we got one the originals less than half an hour ago.

trump won because he exploited poor whites by saying it the illegals why they are poor and offer them roads paved in gold. not because someone dyed their hair green.

Russia and the overall hatred on Clinton helped push it along too.

Just remember that gaters are far, far more easily triggered by little things like criticism.
Their attacks have been nothing but attempts to impose censorship while accusing the victims of said things.

i voted for Hillary. my feminist friend voted for jill stine becuase she was a hardcore burner, that made me more upset then trump winning.
Okay.

Now what does that have to do with this situation, seeing as how you're the one who brought it up unprompted?

I'm assuming that you are referring to the GG article of GDC 2016 in which they complained about dyed hair.

To ignore that gamergate was a huge part of the push for Trumpism is folly.

it one of the same, i just give a cliffnotes summery to the election, gamergate started and scum like milo coarted them in and went on to "make america great agian"

the vampires saw weak men, and they converted them.

It doesn't.



It was.

I know it's tempting to, as you've done here, be willfully delusional and pretend the bad people away to protect your own fragile sense of self-identity, but the sooner you stop sticking your head in the sand the better off you'll be.


Eh, I feel that focusing on gamers is the wrong way to deal with this though, as we can clearly see that bad people are not exclusive to one hobby/activity. I am not suggesting we "go easier" on gamers, I am instead suggesting that perhaps constantly saying gamers are bad misses the forest for the trees. If that is the mainstream idea of this issue, that will lead to silly discussions like "gaming is bad for our culture" or "what about games makes people transphobic" as opposed to trying to actively deal with these issues throughout our society as a whole. This is a people problem, not a gaming problem.

This behavior is disgusting and unacceptable no matter where it occurs.

i'm sorry what are you upset about or confused about?

People dont hate women because they are gamers. They hate then because they themselves are socially inept and have developed some sort of hatred towards women.

Your entire "Mental Disability = MRA" bullshit was what I was referring to.

What? I'm not saying people who are mentaly disabled are part of these group of gamergating scum.

What kind of shit are you trying to throw at me here just to see what sticks? Im on your side here buddy.

Im saying these people are fucked in the head one way or the other. Jesus this forum is a cesspit of people looking to attack eachother when probably most of us here feel the same about a great many things. Especially on treating eachother with respect.

CEO needs to have a long hard look in the mirror if he considered doing this

Anyone working in the games industry should be well aware these kind of groups employ these kind of tactics to try and get people fired for no good reason

It's not like this dev attacked their own fans for no reason, firing them because a few man babies sent a few emails would be absurd

So the CEO was going to fire a member of his staff because he got spammed with emails telling him to do it?

I'm guessing the CEO is the type of person who sends money to an African prince because he got an email asking to.

This is disgraceful and, assuming it's true, shame on that CEO for almost going through.

I know that not all people agree on the events that led up to Price's firing that, seemingly, sparked this new thing that I hope doesn't become a trend but I have to wonder if these headlines aren't part of the reason why the horrible people that would do such a thing feel empowered to do so:

ARENANET FIRINGS CAST A CHILLING SHADOW ACROSS THE GAME INDUSTRY
'You're just waiting for the wrong tweet to end your life now'

ArenaNet 'folded like a cheap card table,' says fired Guild Wars 2 writer
Inside the Guild Wars 2 meeting that's shaken gaming

Guild Wars 2 Writers Fired For Calling Out Fan On Twitter

Fired Guild Wars 2 writer says she was given no warning
"The whole thing was highly unprofessional."

The ArenaNet Catastrophe Has The Whole Game Industry Rethinking Harassment Policies

I can't help but feel that the media took a bad situation and made it worse. I don't agree that Price, or Fries, should have been fired and I agree even less that the biggest reason for their firing was because of an internet mob but now, because of the way her firing was reported, I am concerned that ill-intended people feel empowered enough to try to get rid of anyone whose gender/opinion they disagree with.

I'm rather concerned that they were ready to fire them before noticing the %FEMALENAME% thing. Was it not fucking obvious what was happening before that, and even then, how scummy do you have to be to respond to that sort of request anyway even if you did think the letters are legit?

I haven't followed all of this too closely but what corroboration does kotaku have that the ceo was indeed ready to fire the freelancer? I have to assume it's from the freelancer and their contact within the company. Did the reporter talk to that contact?

Anyway, this whole thing is a shit show. Fuck these people trying to get people fired.

Ya id like to know that as well. All the people in here complaining about internet mobs are then calling for action against someone. Id like some more clarity on that aspect of it.

Were you born a gamer? When was the last time a gamer was strung out from a tree or beaten to death for being a gamer? Or prevented from being with the one they love? Or shot in the streets simply for playing games?

You need to get a #GamerLivesMatter going on mate.
