Betrayal of Games Media GTA Vgot framed by Radical Feminists as a game that promotes "R--- and Violence towards Women" This is Grand Theft Auto 5. This game means that after various sex acts, players are given options to kill women by punching her unconscious, killing with a machete, bat or guns to get their money returned GTA 5 literally makes a game of bashi against women, It also links sexual arousal and violence https://archive.today/Vühx8 Game sites did NOT debunk the claim With SOME Even supporting the false claim Polygon rand Theft Auto 5's misogyny is a problem its creators must finally address Yeah, I know these arent real people. They are just cartoon characters. MMy point is not THIS that the on-screen sex workers being murdered are real, nor that the game will prompt people to go out and marder prostitutes. My point is that this portrayal of them reinforces hard ideas about the worthlesssess of prostitutes, in ways that are OF PROSTITUTES unique to this class of characters in the game. GAME REINFORCES HARD IDEAS ABOUT THE WORTHLESSNESS y point is that it is deeply distasteful to gleefally portray victinas being shat upon by privilege ttps://archive.today/qlZ0 As a result GTA V was Pulled from Target's stores in Australia "When you see games media sites celebrating the censorship ofa videogame, you know they've forgotten what it means to be Pro-consumer -TotalBiscuit A similar thing happened to Hotline Miami2 Where the game was accused of promoting R--- and Violence towards Women" viewed with his pants hatway down, partialy exposing his buttocks.

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
