Identity Politics and Video Games

[BigTL13Participant 89]

Something I don’t understand is the massive focus by SJW’s to introduce Identity politics into gaming. They remain persistent and yet they don’t even understand the landscape that is gaming. Consider when you play a game that allows you to join a team of players to take on another team, the only identity politics that really matter to dedicated gamers are the roles which teammates fulfill, be it assault, defense or support. Yet, for some reason, SJW’s see it as Men, Women, Trans, Gay, etc. It baffles me, I’ll gladly play a game alongside a woman, so long as she doesn’t f~~~-arse around and plays her role effectively. I don’t give a f~~~ if the person on the other end of the line is a transwoman, what matters is that they have my back when s~~~ hits the fan in the firefight. Yet SJW’s think that being a woman makes you oppressed by men, and so you can’t have fun, yet they don’t understand that gaming is like sport, the s~~~talking is more often trying to psyche out the opponent. Perhaps if they stopped wailing about what they identify as, and fulfill their role in the team, they wouldn’t have so much s~~~ flung at them.

I think SJW typically confuse being biologically inferior in their respective right (inability to lift as much, endure physical duress, etc.) with being oppressed. It’s the normal double standard douchebauchery. Think of it this way, woman want equality in games. Right? So let’s make a(nother) war simulator that focuses strictly on reflecting equality in combat roles. Be it support, medic, assault, heavy, whatever. Now, in all things being equal, make their performance reflective of real life (i.e. endurance, stamina, strength)…. oh wait, didn’t the military JUST TRY THAT??? On second thought, just go ahead and make them equals on the battlefield. After all, it’s just a game and not reflective of real life right?..smh. So they can’t be scantly clad and underdressed so as to reflect the fantasy it is, but you can’t make it to where they are obviously outperformed by their male counterparts. Hmmm … either it’s double-standards, or simple Penis envy… Idk which..

Funny, isn't it? How women thrive on a mans time, attention and resources, while simultaneously telling him he isn't enough...

Nevermind games, what about the workplace? I’ve met a number of women with the title “system administrator” that can barely get apache running.

So another person, not only can build an apache server but can also backup databases, run security scans, work on network gear, and is a storage expert, logically gets paid more.

What’s infuriating to me is the assumption that having the same title means that your work should automatically be equally valued. Thus when the first sysadmin gets paid less because she has a smaller skill set, they cry gender discrimination because after all she’s getting paid less for the doing same job. Only she’s not doing the same job, she just has the same title.

Funny, the studies never show how they account for differences in work output and end results.

This was my red pill – when I realized that as a man, I was am being blamed and shamed for something that is not my fault or even my choice.

My brother used to go by the name “the rape machine” on a game called red eclipse. One day another player decided to lecture him on how offensive the name was to him/her. Like you said, it is trash talk. He would type”rape” every time he fraged another player. There is no secret patriarchal conspiracy to promote rape culture in video games. There is also no secret plot to damage the emotional state of women and LGBTXKDI7JD828 or whatever name the “inclusive” folk use now. How the heck do they not feel completely stupid flaunting their moral “supremacy” in games about killing each other to score points. What’s next?

I just see it as the usual bigoted SJW crap. They are the most racist people out there as they expect a tickbox of gender and colour whereas the rest of us just play games and don’t even think about it (well we didn’t until they started attacking games)

There are no heterosexuals, homosexuals, transgendereds, or ciswhatevers in online gaming.

There are only Heavies, Medics, Pyros, Engineers, Demomen, Soldiers, Scouts, Snipers, and Spies.

Also campers. Far too many campers.
