Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
linkov: She initially was going to go to the talk anyway, until it was made clear that the university police were going to be pretty much worthless in deterring a real gun threat. It's not just her life, dude. It's everyone else there. Think about this like a normal human being with a sense of not just self-preservation,… -
Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
http://wehuntedthemammoth.com/2014/10/14/anita-sarkeesian-cancels-talk-at-utah-state-after-receiving-threat-of-another-montreal-massacre/ What throws me off is that the majority of harassment towards women in the industry comes from those outside the industry. Its not fellow coworkers. Its the scum douche bags on the… -
Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
This is going to be a little out of order, because I want to get to the most important thing first. Also, I'm not getting in-depth on everything, because I'm sick and it takes a stupid amount of effort to focus on this stuff. This right here? This is where the big breakdown in communication is happening. There are two… -
Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
You've repeatedly said that discrimination against women isn't happening and that everyone has their ideas dismissed. How is my pointing that out and deliberately not judging that equal to jumping to conclusions or calling you sexist or an asshole? If those things make you a sexist asshole in your mind perhaps you should… -
Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
No, they haven't complained to you. If I know someone doesn't believe discrimination exists, and is going to dismiss my experiences and say things like, "Oh, that happens to everyone, suck it up," I'm not going to talk to them about it. I'll talk to someone who will actually listen and not automatically be dismissive. -
Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
that behavior makes no sense to me. when you have a problem and you always talk to the people who will aggree with you anyway, you will never find the true cause of the problem and you will never fix the problem, you will just isolate your thinking and obsess about your perceived version of reality. if you want to change… -

I'm pretty sure people at Epic get jobs based on skill. But this: http://www.zdnet.com/gnome-bled-dry-by-outreach-programs-7000028383/ Just make me mad. I'm fine, because I don't give crap what people talk about (;. People talk so much, that I don't pay attention to it, unless it's something interesting. Well, that 's… -
Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
I don't really think anyone can deny that there is an issue with sexism and misogyny in gaming (not necessarily games themselves, but the community), its a difficult thing to avoid extreme views and general assholery when people are anonymous. However (and this might be a difficult idea for some to accept) in my opinion,… -
Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
I'm not at all a fan of Anita Sarkeesian (doesn't have much to do with her message, I just prefer action over talking about action), but I think Makkon touched on one of the most important points earlier - it's not just her life Anita needs to think about when these types of threats come in, it's the lives of any… -
Re: Death threats for talks about sexism in video games
Hm ok, this is rather touchy subject it seems. I'll probably end up sounding like a dick, but here's my view on this subject. Basically, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee8RgbS9ESE As the girl says, it is my impression that Anita at times just assumes a whole lot of things and accuse us players of so many things, in…
