    Feminism/Gender equality

    in Serious Topic Discussion

    Posted · Edited by Guest (see edit history)

    Quite frankly these are bigoted comments with little credible evidence to back it up. I cannot believe, with my own two eyes, that this could be allowed on the site, of all the places on the 'Net.

    Mind doing something other than simply voicing your hate for my life experiences?

     

    Then I'll be happy to fill in the blanks: the MRA and masculinists jumped on this like wolves smelling blood and directed some truly despicable and copious amounts of hate towards both Anita and women and general (up to and including death threats against women in the video game industry and Anita). They have since tried covering up their actions by repeating the lie "it's about ethics in gaming journalism!".

     

    To sum it up, "Gamergate" is a misogynist shitshow.

    Accurate, if you only consider the gaming media coverage.

    Before you throw the Fox News propaganda argument

    So here's a question for you then... Why do you assume that I would use that particular argument? I use logic and direct statements, I will not borrow from others, especially when they use those type of arguments as a derogatory. (and trust me, they do A LOT with anything that isn't mainstream [American] Liberal media)

     

    Also, just to let you know right now, I am never trying to insult anyone. I merely provide different ways of looking at things, and quite often it will make others angry. (I can only assume it's because it hits too close to home for some)

     

    the main reason it sounds like there is MORE hate right now instead of less is because people talk about it more. Thats wonderful because it shows what people are thinking and their reasoning and if it was just or not instead of just passing it off as something minor, if they discover it at all.

    Talking about it is one thing... Having it actually change is completely different. Talking about the risks of sex isn't going to stop people from having sex. Talking about the risks of driving cars has never stopped people from driving. Talking about hate will never stop people from hating.

     

    Do you honestly think people hate each other more now than they did 70 years ago? how about 50? 30 even?

    In the 40's, 60's, and 80's respectively... Yes, yes, and yes.

     

    In the 40's there was a world war on, and guess what? The mobsters supported the country. I even knew some that outright started using their ill-gotten money from previous decades to feed and house the poor until the country could get back on it's feet. These were the same people that would otherwise beat you to death for looking at them wrong. You will almost never see that level of selfless change today.

     

    In the 60's, the peace movement... The vast majority just wanted to be left alone, and to do no harm. The hippies were doing peace marches, and mostly had no idea what they were doing.

     

    The 80's was the actual era of peace. The Cold War ended, Japanese electronics were awesome, and metal was what you used to vent your hate.

     

    Today we have all the problems of the past century, but none of the previous solutions. People have been taught to be selfish pricks, because you make more money that way. People are taught to not just sit around having a good time, but instead to find something to fight for, regardless of whether it's good or bad for anyone. And people now vent their hate at people instead of emptiness. (I tell you, listening to heavy metal all about the frustrations the singer is having is a great relief to the listener's stress as well)

     

    We taught the kids to blame others for any problems they have and do nothing but complain, instead of teaching them to find solutions to problems and implement them. Those kids grew up, and are teaching the next generation the same thing. I just hope the generation after that finally learns to make their own solutions instead of aggravating the problem.

    While I disagree with what you said Bullseye, I don't know how to respond.

    I do believe the times have gotten better however, and with less unknown to be scared of we can hopefully understand each other better as well

    Yet, now we have essentially hit on the 'year of hate'. People hating a game based on limited pre-release footage from staged scenes... People hating someone for having an opinion different than theirs, regardless of the logic or lack of logic involved... (see gamergate) People killing a bunch of other people because they have different skin color, or religion... People ganging up on, and verbally abusing anyone if they aren't a particular religion... (see most atheists)

     

    It used to be that we just killed a bunch of people; now we do so much emotional and mental damage that people kill themselves.

    Website issues and improvements.

    Also, are these custom titles ones we can create, or are they more like ranks for post count? I liked that a lot in previous forums.

    The ones for post count 'reward' people for spamming. I am against it in general. Unlockable colors for the title based on post count would be good though. (or even specific title banners)
