Ok I don't want to get into this whole mess again, but man, gamergate is becoming so hilarious lately. So look at this random article written, not facetiously but totally seriously because this is his style, less than a week before the Zoe thing came to light: 12-YEAR-OLD CONSOLE GAMERS ARE BEING 'RAPED' BY DORKY WEIRDOS ON GRAND THEFT AUTOHere are a few key quotes: GTA, which rewards players with in-game currency for having sex with prostitutes, then killing them, is already a bit disturbed. You can't help but feel it's a game for frustrated beta males who can't kill or shag anything in real life, so get their kicks doing it on a computer screen.There's no doubt violent games play a part in the deeds of some wackos, such as Elliot "killer virgin" Rodger.Personally, I don't understand grown men wasting their lives playing computer games. It seems a bit sad to me.I'm more relaxed about violent video games than most, because it seems unlikely that they alone make people act out in real life. So what if they're the last resort of the frustrated beta male? It's not for me to legislate what weirdos in yellowing underpants get up to in their spare time.Is it me, or do these weirdos need therapy and their internet connections taken away by mum? Surely this guy with his anti-gamer views would never become popular in a movement of gamers with the clear level of disdain that he has for them, right? ... You know damn well this is exactly what happened. He saw his chance to co-opt a movement (he is not a fan of feminists either), jumped right in, and now is a key figure in gamergate, possibly THE key figure, digging up dirt on Anita / Zoe / journalists / etc. Oh, for the record, apparently he totally saw the light and changed his ways and such from you know, the week before, so yeah, it is all kosher. Some of his recent opinions that he hasn't recanted: Hollywood people deserve it when you steal their nudes, transgendered people all have psychiatric disorders, there is (probably? maybe?) a crime gene and this explains why, among other things, certain races engage in crime more, we should ban women's choice to wear burkas, men are just better than women at tech things, um... I could go on, but you probably get the idea. If you think I'm painting him in a more negative light than the reality, well... no, I'm not. If anything I'm being too kind because I'm too lazy to go read every horrible thing he has ever written. Journalistic integrity. GAMERGATE. Someone please remind me to stop visiting the Twitter tag. Must. Stop. |
