Bob Chipman @the_moviebob 1h n the end, that's why #GamerGate, even the sane parts, and I just cant see eye to eye: GG apparently thinks gaming is fine as-is Bob Chipman @the_moviebob 1h ...and resents those looking to reshape it. I think modern gaming is a bloated corruption of a once-wonderful thing Bob Chipman @the_moviebob 1h and I think the current status-quo could do with a near-total tear-down and rebuild. Seriously, no b-------, THAT'S the impasse Bob Chipman @the moviebob 1h It's NO accident that GG's main media support has come from right-wing bloggers and think-tanks - it's fundamentally anti-change Bob Chipman@the_moviebob 1h that's not to say being a conservative movement makes GG "bad," just that it IS a conservative movement. Bob Chipman @the_moviebob 1h Maybe that's where it goes. Maybe this has been innevitable since the defining AAA franchise became Cheney Doctrine: The Game Bob Chipmarn @the moviebob Follow So maybe that's just how it breaks down: "Progressives" get Hollywood, most of TV and music, the right gets gaming? Oh well. わReply t Retweet * Favorite More RETWEETS FAVORITES 4:59 PM-1 Oct 2014 Just Joe @JosephPantaleo 1h @the moviebob Silicon Vallley always had this Ayn Randian quirk to it though. People wanting to be the next Bill Gates Bob Chipman @the_moviebob 1h That makes me sad, as I don't want to see AAA gaming turn into what Country Music turned into. But these things happen. stealingzen @stealingzen @the_moviebob I don't think "Progressives" have Hollywood at all. Film as a medium fought hard to keep it's weird, and games will follow James McGhie jmcghie 59m @the_moviebob Next year's---- game of the summer. 'Accidental Racist: the video game' Ellie O'Daire@AzureAngel1 @the_moviebob So would that mean @Harmonix unwittingly released the Harbinger of Video Game Doom? ecx.images-amazon.com/images/1/51eEq J is a Huge Eyeball @dlvllHlvilb 58m @the_moviebob don't forget the critical classic, "your AAA shooters are kind of f----- up, let this AAA shooter show you why" Bob Chipman @JosephPantaleo Except Gates turned out to be an aggressive-altruist - he's the most-perfect and least-perfect Randian hero of all time:) @the_moviebob 57m Bob Chipman @the_moviebob 48m Then again, I can't be "mad" at the right for snatching games away without being FURIOUS at the art/culture "left" for treating gaming.. Bob Chipman@the_moviebob 47m like it was "beneath" them in the 80s and 90s. Shortsighted, lost opportunity And a generation suffers Elion King, AZ @Elion_King 46m @the_moviebob I'm always curious how games would be if they had taken off in the social climate of the early 70s Bob Chipman @the_moviebob 42m One just-woke-up thought and I'm done for now, honest: MAYBE all this is is the final-form of The West being in charge of gaming now Bob Chipman @the_moviebob 41m maybe if we hadn't had The Crash in '83 and a takeover of the industry by Japanese voices, we would've been HERE during the Reagan Years Bob Chipman @the_moviebob 39m So much of the gaming-scene in the 80s/90s was this vaugely foriegn/global thing, fundamentally NOT mainstream-American. Now? CALL OF DUTY

NOTHING HAS F------ CHANGED 10
Gamergate (harassment campaign) Article Talk From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For other uses, see Gamergate (disambiguation). Gamergate or GamerGate (GG)[¹] was a loosely organized misogynistic online harassment campaign and a right-wing backlash against feminism, diversity, and progressivism in video game culture. [2][³] It was conducted using the hashtag "#Gamergate" primarily in 2014 and 2015.[1][4][5][6] Beginning in August 2014, Gamergate targeted women in the video game industry, most notably feminist media critic Anita Sarkeesian and video game developers Zoë Quinn and Brianna Wu, among others.[7][8][9][10][11] The harassment campaign included doxing, r--- threats, and death threats.[12][13][14] Gamergate proponents ("Gamergaters") stated that they were a social movement, but lacked well-defined goals, a coherent message, and leaders, making Gamergate difficult to define.[15][16][17] Gamergaters claimed to promote ethics in video games journalism, claimed to be protecting the "gamer" identity, and opposed what they asserted as "political correctness" in video games.[18][19][20][21][22] Read Date Target Gamergate, online harassment campaign in 2014-15 that targeted women in the video game industry. The attacks were attributed largely to white male right-wing gamers who railed against the rise and influence of women and feminism in the industry. Gamergate served as a recruiting tool for the growing alt-right movement and helped spur the online “Pizzagate" conspiracy theory, which soon spawned the wider QAnon conspiracy movement. …………………………....…..……….….....

[2][36] Gamergate led figures both inside and outside the gaming industry to focus on methods of addressing online harassment, ways to minimize harm, and prevent similar events. [37] [38] [39] [40] Gamergate has been viewed as a contributor to the alt-right and other right- wing movements.[21][41] Video game developer Brianna Wu

X Journalists would make claims of people like Anita Sarkeesian "playing video games all her life" when she openly admitted many times she is not a gamer and only starter recently (when it wasn't for an interview). Various developers trading sex or money for good reviews got exposed, journalists who accepted got exposed. People became a bit more critical about supporting a game just because the developer has a victim complex stating tat their game could have only failed because of sexism, instead of their own poor developing skills. What really sealed the deal was opposition often faking their own harassment. Anita sarkeesian and Zoe Quinn have been caught multiple times screenshotting "harassment" while showing that the harrasser's account name in the login. Or when someone called the police to help Sarkeesian against a "very real threat" she was posting about, only for police to find the harasser's messages were coming from her IP address. I just want honesty from the community, and the lies were mostly exposed by the "dreaded" gamergate. 1.3K views • View upvotes 26
