AssCreed can't be involved in a journalistic ethics scandal, there aren't any women in it.

I don't even know what's going on any more:

Took me a while to even figure whose "side" is which. I think one of the more facinating things I've realized from all this is how dangerously easy it is to isolate yourself in one's own little echo chamber on the Internet and not even realize it today.

Apparently this video is meant to really upset SJWs but me and Dracko talked about it and it's really middle of the road stuff we already know anyway?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkGRw1zYAvQ

She actually says at one point words to the effect that "Sexual harassment isn't a big problem in the games industry, it only happened to me once!" Which I guess is upsetting but probably not for the reason bro team or those with a pro-GG agenda are angling for.

Also the guys who helped her resolve that situation would be SJWs or White Knights or something by GG standards anyway.

Basically this: Jenn Frank - I was a Teenage Sexist

Nobody is saying that the lack of diversity among game developers is some kind of conspiracy. This is a common tactic used by 'I'm not sexist but I'm not a feminist!' people to discredit the idea of ever changing anything, by blowing the progressive agenda way out of proportion. This woman identifies that there might be numerous aspects of the industry that will fuck you up if you work in it. What she doesn't do is make the connection that these things make the games industry a working environment that disproportionately favours straight white men. That might be why the applications 'just don't come in' from other kinds of people who do not have the institutional advantages in the rest of society that straight white men undeniably have. The only difference in viewpoint here is that 'SJWs' are suggesting that we actually try a few changes to the things everyone identifies as problems.

Bro team ask about the influence publishers and game journalists have over AAA game development, to which she answers 'lots' and 'none' respectively. Notably they don't ask how much influence social justice criticism or indie games have over AAA game development. They probably don't ask because the answers would also be 'none'.

The pernicious thing about his video is that it's going to be received as some kind of checkmate against the SJWs because 'see! a woman does agree with us!' Good shit-stirring, bro team.

surprised "this is so important" didn't chart, but maybe that's just the most irritating phrase to only me. The moment I saw a tumblr post talking about how "Night at the Museum" was a "really important movie you guys", I gave up on this species and its hopes for survival, let alone any hope for cultural flourishing.

It's like all this stuff is bleeding in from some parallel dimension.

If anything this all makes me wonder: if every online community these days is essentially a kind of echo chamber then what kind of echo chamber is select button?

i think the real enemy is 13 and 14 year olds with such a direct and intimate connection to the internet. on the gamergate side, on the "annoying sjw" side.

i feel like this might be the most justified "kids are the fucking worst these days" generation and i fully embrace being a crotchety old man
