Gaming Journalism Controversy

[braininavatParticipant 95]

I’m not a gamer — well, except for the occasional first person shooter that I play to relax after a long day of work, so I guess you could say I’m not a serious gamer — but I found myself fascinated by a controversy over gaming journalism.

We all know how gaming has been under particular attack by feminists, male and female alike, with Anita Sarkeesian being exhibit “A” in this attack, most of which I learned about through watching Thunderf00t videos like this one…

Thunderf00t made me aware of a couple of videos from the Internet Aristocrat…

and

Even if you’re not into gaming it’s worthwhile to watch these videos. The Internet Aristocrat takes no prisoners and leaves a smoking crater in the ground previously occupied by gaming “journalists.”

These videos are clear, concise, without bulls~~~, and dead on. The Internet Aristocrat has proved hands down that he is an investigative journalist who makes the so-called journalists of the gaming world look like total idiots.

As Socrates would have said, “There is amusement in it.”

I do not understand these people at all……!?

The only people who care about corruption in the game journalism world are the people who consume game journalism. I will read a critical review of a game to find out if the genre, game play type, or story pique my interest, but when the reviewer starts to editorialize the piece and start giving me their opinions, I check out.

I am not taken by some random guy’s opinions about the game’s art or it’s lacking in combat mechanics. I will play the game and form my own opinions if I so please.

This is the bigger issue here; the “editorialization” of journalism. I always assumed that the journalist’s job was to acquire and present the facts, give me something to think about and let me come to my own conclusions. After all, I am an intelligent and liberated member of society who is fully capable of critical thought are I not? The amount of people in this world who have forgotten the intellectual benefits and the majestic beauty of skepticism is outright depressing. “There is amusement in it” because without a surreal outlook on today’s social climate, all those of shrewd mind might self-slaughter.

I don’t feel any pity for the insects that fall prey to these Venus women. Plebeian men who aren’t clairvoyant enough to see through her Maybelline veneer and follow blindly her rotting flesh pheromone, only to realize that they have been had and thus perpetuate the feminist mythology to mask their own self-hatred. Grow some Goddamn b~~~~ men!

Thanks for the vid links @braininavat . I watched them in their entirety and will now explore the other content these men have to offer.

Rotting flesh pheromones indeed! I could take offense at that and sue you if I were a professional victim. As a prefrontal cortex separated from its reptilian hindbrain, suspended in a vat of synthetic cerebrospinal fluid, and wired up to a quantum D-wave computer that interprets my brain waves and electrochemical signals (this is all very secret, you understand, so I am counting on your discretion), the rest of my body is now essentially rotting flesh attracting flies.

I’m a Gamer. I grew up with games. It’s a big part of my identity. I take some measure of pride in my knowledge, and skill at games. As such my biggest problem with all this s~~~ is that the gaming Journalists are turning on gamers en masse. they’ve Joined with the feminists and SJWs and are marching side by side in a sort of crusade attempting to purge the gaming community of true gamers and replace us with a “better sort” who believes more in line with what feminism says they should.

They try and turn ‘gamer’ into a 4 letter word of condemnation, instead of the badge of honor a lot of us have held it as for most of our lives. We built this ship. We spent hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars on a hoby that the rest of the world said was worthless and pointless. and now that it has gained momentum and mainstream appeal they see opportunity to make a buck off of the industry and so in come the ‘Journalists’ and professional victims to hijack our hobby and then tell us that we no longer belong in a place that for most of us was the only place left that we COULD belong. the entire thing just makes me so mad I frequently find myself stressing over it. I feel not only for myself but for the rest of my gaming brothers and sisters who may even have things worse than me and never asked for this s~~~.

We don’t hate anyone. We just wanna enjoy our games.

Here Here @vilenord! @animekirk Been seeing so much of this lately and can’t help but wonder WTF women think they are doing. We were geeks and nerds before for playing video games and p~~~ing women off, now they want to join? Its time to tell women to f~~~ off. Just f~~~ off. Control freaks.

[TheBardParticipant 974]

Just watched those first 2 videos and that second one was pretty good. That Zoe woman is freakin crazy and is going major harm to legit women in the gaming community. Sad how before we could all just enjoy our games and not care about who we played as or who we killed. I used to love going to gamespot for my game news and forums but over the year the site has turned into a huge platform for SJW. Even their forums have goen way down in the amount of users on it. I hardly even use the forums anyone. I mainly just go there for news and comment on some stories.

Feminists have basically made it so we can’t even enjoy games anymore and every bit of news has to have some sexism angle to it. It is just like network news. Depending on where you watch it there is going to be some liberal or conservative angle added to every story to get more views. When I was younger women never complained about games like people such as Anita and Zoe do today. Right now I am replaying the Tomb Raider Reboot and playing as a woman doesn’t make the game any less fun. I like Lara and enjoy playing as her. If I wanted to play a Tomb Raider game with a man I would play Uncharted. Also in Tomb Raider you only kill men. Men who are in a cult and brainwashed and basically pawns. You shoot them with guns, arrows, or bash their heads in with a climbing axe, but I don’t get offended The game is fun, Lara is awesome, and the story is great. Is is basically Lost and I love that show. Most of all I don’t look at is violence against men or a women brutally killing men. I look at it as killing the bad guys in order to survive and having having fun which is what games are about.

Here is another video Sandman did about Zoe and he does have some new points that are pretty good such as how with games are now getting mens attention as much as porn women are feeling threatened by it and want to stop it.

[TheBardParticipant 974]

If women like Anita and Zoe keep getting their way games will be like this.

[rasputinParticipant 52]

I’m on this site because pretty much all of “mainstream” gaming sites have been taken over by SJWs, white knights, feminazis and their followers. On big sites there are lots of women mods which love to use the warning/ban buttons against anyone who expresses a different opinion.

[Total LeeParticipant 1573]

@rastputin That’s all women have. Warning, ban & abuse buttons whenever they delicate sensibilities are offended. We should turn a part of mgtow.com into a men’s only gaming site. Or even have some games and just not let women play them. Period.

leaching off mens creations is what broads do. they cant create anything, so they leach of and attempt to take possession of a male creation, and gaming is just one example.

if women were so s~~~ hot at everything they claim to be they would be coming up with some alternate culture, technology, language, etc. But they cannot. they will instead s~~~ on everything a guy does, insult him for doing it, then claim discrimination when there isn’t 50% female representation in this loathsome act of their choosing.

You get the broads insulting the machismo patriarchy of the military, yet demanding lowering of standards so they can get their 50% presence in the loathsome institution. You get broads insulting the extreme machismo of motorcycle/ car racing them whining that they aren’t represented in the sport.

Whining and leaching is what they do, victimization is their birthright that no one shall usurp. Even if you use the exact same vocabulary but somehow flip the gender, clearly by denying them their sole ownership of victimization you are a misogynist. oh and you have a small penis. bitches win.

[AnimekirkParticipant 8]

Know whats really difficult to find? A gaming site with moderate views. I’d be all for that.

[Jim01Participant 6678]

This is the only thing that actually makes me angry. Treat betas like s~~~ it is their own fault along with the white knights but it really f~~~s me off when my favourite hobby is being actively targeted

women hate the fact that men have their own things that they can play and enjoy and have to ruin it for others. Look at the most popular games played by women and it says it all – wii fit and smartphone games so they have absolutely no clue when it comes to videogames but want to muscle in on it.

could easily rant on this all day!
