Do you ever think how surreal it is that there is an Internet subculture of young men who wear suits, collect guns and knives, disrespect women, but then watch a children’s cartoon about little fictional ponies and really enjoy it. Like I couldn’t make that up if I tried. How are we going to explain humanity to extraterrestrials at this rate
d o you guys ahve any idea how many bronies hav e sent me hate for this post . do you

The fact that there are people out there looking forward to Hatred just makes any ‘games are art’ and ‘gamers aren’t edgy douchebags’ arguments null and avoid.
Like come the fuck on.
The game is literally about a dude that just goes on a rampage to murder innocent people in the most edgiest ‘im an angry white guy in a trenchcoat’ way. And check the tag and you got people all but whipping out their murderboners to jerk their meat to it.
And then on Twitter you got people like “I DON’T SEE WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THIS AND GTA”
Well you fucklink, in GTA you have the option to go on murderous rampages on innocent people and you are also punished if you do so. Also not a single GTA game ever has painted the protagonist as a good person or ever tried to excuse the foul ass shit they do with some lame ass 8th grade edgy teen era manifesto like Hatred is doing.
Meanwhile over in this black and grey gritty piece of shit the whole point is to act out your fucked up ass mass shooting fantasies and be rewarded for it because why the fuck not, right?
Y’all sit there with a straight face and be like ‘Gone Home isn’t a game because you just walk around and read” but will go all ‘Hatred is a real game because I get to live out my murder fantasy’
But yeah, Games are art and freedom and blah blah eat my ass you are the kind of people that are actually and actively fucking it up for the rest of us.

fyi the post that’s going around captioned “emma watson’s response to the nude photo leak threats” (or any variation thereof) of her showing her breasts isn’t real
it’s a photoshop of this picture she did for mariano vivanco and by reblogging that post you’re violating her just as much as the rest of the creeps threatening to release nude pictures of her
thanks, bye

Anita Sarkeesian (female) sent many death threats to herself. But she isnt a video gamer, so your point still might be a valid.
You are literally too stupid to insult.
Translation: I can’t disprove that so you’re stupid.
I can’t disprove that unicorns are real, but that doesn’t make them exist. I know I shouldn’t feed the trolls, but hell, I’ve got a bit of time to kill.
Gamergate is a hate movement that started with a jilted ex of a game dev accusing her of sleeping with a journalist for a good review, when said journalist never reviewed the game in question at all.
Anita Sarkeesian and Brianna Wu have been driven from their homes by death threats and harassment. #Gamergate as a whole has been revealed as a concentrated, concerted effort to harass Zoe Quinn by the aforementioned jilted ex.
And over what? Feminism in video game journalism? Less than half a percent of articles written about video games contain explicit references to sexism, misogyny, or feminism. Every major art form is analyzed in sociopolitical lights. Every major everything is analyzed that way. It’s what criticism is. Feminist criticism is an accepted academic method of analyzing media that has been in use since the late 1700s.
Even if it wasn’t, these people are essentially getting angry about discussions about women having more egalitarian portrayals in games. That’s literally it. Their biggest rallying cry is that men who play games are being shoved into the margins despite being gaming’s core target demographic. Except they fail to notice that adult women are the largest demographic in gaming, and even if they weren’t, it’s not oppressive to be asked to maybe not use women as sex objects in games. It’s not oppressive for some things not to be about men and their entertainment.
The threats made against Sarkeesian are credible, and the FBI agrees with me on that one. She isn’t the only one to receive credible death and rape threats recently (or in the past) and she won’t be the last.
I suspect you’re not the type who actually cares about facts, however. I suspect you’re one of the people who urge us to “look at both sides” of the issue, but honestly? When one side sends death, rape, and bomb threats, and the other wants women not to be treated as shitty by the gaming industry as they are, that’s not a debate I’m willing to have.
By the way, humanism is the belief that people have the ability to act ethically without the assistance of theism or supernatural belief. If you want a belief system that’s about ensuring men and women have equal rights and opportunities, that’s feminism.
