#AVoteAgainstSocJus

It's the fucking internet, YOU ARE THE MEDIA
Doesn't justify sexism.

Neoliberal detected.

What sexism? Please show me these awful neckbeard monsters that just want to drive all the women away from gaming.

You know what?
If watching ecchii animu and playing Dead or Alive is sexism… I'LL BE A SEXIST!

I'll give you one point, promoting alternative news outlets was one of the most important objectives in gamergate and it failed spectacularly. The two closest things to a success are TechRaptor and NicheGames, and they both don't come close to making a salary on patreon. Instead we got a bunch of new breitbart readers and an huge viewership for illitterate wannabe political "commentators". What I would consider by far the best "alternative" outlet, Gather Your Party, is still sitting at around 2k twitter followers. Their content is great though.

But I should also mention that creating a respectable news outlet is hard as it is, it gets even harder when no matter what you publish you'll have to defend yourself from accusations of terrorism for being aligned or even neutral with a certain hastag.

Also, note how gamergate was a great occasion for the supposed "leftist" to act as a convenient human shield for corporations? Siding with Gawker, a firm that, apart from publishing garbage, is well known not to pay its interns? Oh, so progressive!

There is a huge outrage against a closed circle of big corporate publications? Shall i maybe, as a leftist, try to hear what the protesters have to say? Why would I, they're smelly neckbeards, I better fight to my last breath for the corporate interest, I don't want to be considered sexist!

Some grade A+ leftism here.

You know what, if some "lefty" alternative publications had not been as prejudiced as you around the time gamergate started, maybe the Holla Forums coup wouldn't have been so immediate and easy, and Gamergate would have become what I would have loved it to be.

I don't think they're a complete failure - no one really succeeds through Patreon. The big gaming sites don't either - they have megacorp money backing them, name recognition, and still make ends meet by borderline fraud and profiting off COIs.

Having hobbyist sites with decent reach that give a voice to those the industry want blacklisted is itself a victory. Not nearly as much of one as I'd have liked, either, but not nothing.

I might do this if I was a reactionary moron.

No. I have very curly hair. If I don't shave everyday, I get really bad in grown hairs. My entire face would just be covered in good bumps. Nice argument by the way you totally showed that you're not shallow like those videogames designers you talk about. You know shaming people based on their looks and sex lives.

They aren't "adapting" to better suit their audience. Like I said social justice pandering games usually sell terribly. Games like League of legends, DOTA, Metal Gear, Doom, Metro, and Overwatch filled with hyper violence and lots of fan service and they are all very successful IPs. I told you to check out Battleborn vs Overwatch. They both just came out recently . Battleborn appeals to the social Justice crowd and is devoid of sexual content and fanservice. One character even randomly shouts out "Feminism is awesome!". It sold like shit. I mean sold so bad Gearbox might actually be in trouble. They had to mark it down 50 percent on sale like a week after it came out. Overwatch is filled to the brim with sexy female character and it's been a wild success. I don't think T&A is why Overwatch sold so well. I just think the average person doesn't give a shit one way or the other. Most consumers aren't offended by a little fanservice and they don't give a shit about "social justice".

So let me get this straight. You support unaccountable corporations controlling people's speech? Are you sure you're not an ancap?

Oh, and this a little bit of a nitpick but that Batman comic is just fucking stupid. We get pretty boy protagonist out of Japan all the time like Leon from Resident Evil or Dante from Devil May Cry. People have no problem with men being sexualized in games. Honestly, I prefer playing pretty boys to the usual beefcakes myself. It's just projection on the part of the idpolers. They assume that everyone has the same feelings of inadequacy and authoritarian beliefs as they do.

Man I had no idea I controlled a large multinational entertainment conglomerate. Did you gents? The patriarchy just gives out so many perks. I have a hard time keeping track sometimes.
