That's it I'm done. I'm fucking done. I don't want to be on this ride anymore, this is the straw that breaks the camel's back.
This has gone past the level of being a plain old "SJW," and has become the musings of a jen-yoo-eye'n sociopath with no grounding in the real world whatsoever. We are long past the point of ever listening to a word that this mongol blithers out of his disgusting maw, let alone taking him seriously.

>>277284842
I'm convinced it all goes back to the fact that video games are not yet on the same 'level' as movies and books. To us, yes, but to the majority of the public, including the media, hell no.
Just look at The Interview. People were demanding for this film, which at the end of a day is a comedy about a plot to kill someone, to come out as a principle of free speech and not to be silenced. Just a month or so prior, GTA5 gets pulled from some shelves in Australia because of some bullshit reasoning and no one really cares.
This makes video games the PERFECT place for SJWs to plant their ideas and begin their little revolution. If they tried pulling shit like petitions against movies and books, they are either laughed out or completely ignored, because of how those media are treated. You try convincing everyone that adult human beings will develop violent tendencies because they watched The Raid or Transformers or something and everyone will think you're nuts. But because it's video games, they can get away with this shit. I know I was a bit circular with my argument, but I hope I got the point across.
>>277284958
>You gave this guy power /v/
>You made his anita puppet famous
It was Twitter and Tumblr the ones who stirred shit with these two as their frontheads.

Yes, in a fighting contest violence solves conflict.
Also, chess promotes the idea that moving stuff solves conflict. How fucked up is that?
Most SJW sound like they're grasping at straws in their critiques, but McIntosh is just way beyond that. Everything he says is nothing short of bananas, and I'm pretty sure that if he read this he'd point out how I made use of a figure of speech that features a phallic shape. "Very telling indeed".

>>277285573
Remember, if something like a zombie outbreak does occur, they need to be met with social support, not violence! Violence doesn't solve anything.
>>277284842

If there's one thing that thousands of years of recorded history has taught us it's that violence does solve conflicts.
I get the hate for this but I do think it's interesting that videogames (heck, games in general) most often rely on conflict in order to be enjoyable.
I'm not saying as a general rule of thumb it's not true (freely admit that all the games I enjoy most involve conflict). I'm not even saying this is a bad thing. It just means that it's slightly refreshing to play a game that doesn't rely on having to shoot/beat the shit out of someone I guess.
pic related, I know it's not vidya but I like card games and we played this with a bunch of us the other week, it was bizarre to have a group game where the goal is just to help each other.

> You try convincing everyone that adult human beings will develop violent tendencies because they watched The Raid or Transformers or something and everyone will think you're nuts.
Although passed uncut for UK cinemas in December 1971, British authorities considered the sexual violence in the film to be extreme. In March 1972, during the trial of a fourteen-year-old male accused of the manslaughter of a classmate, the prosecutor referred to A Clockwork Orange, suggesting that the film had a macabre relevance to the case.[40] The film was also linked to the murder of an elderly vagrant by a 16-year-old boy in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, who pleaded guilty after telling police that friends had told him of the film "and the beating up of an old boy like this one." Roger Gray QC, for the defence, told the court that "the link between this crime and sensational literature, particularly A Clockwork Orange, is established beyond reasonable doubt".[41] The press also blamed the film for a rape in which the attackers sang "Singin' in the Rain" as "Singin' in the Rape".[42] Christiane Kubrick, the director's wife, has said that the family received threats and had protesters outside their home.[43]
Subsequently, Kubrick asked Warner Brothers to withdraw the film from British distribution. In response to allegations that the film was responsible for copycat violence Kubrick stated: "To try and fasten any responsibility on art as the cause of life seems to me to put the case the wrong way around. Art consists of reshaping life, but it does not create life, nor cause life. Furthermore, to attribute powerful suggestive qualities to a film is at odds with the scientifically accepted view that, even after deep hypnosis in a posthypnotic state, people cannot be made to do things which are at odds with their natures."[44]
>>277287374
Games are an interactive medium. You need an incentive to interact with it and put up with its shit for hours and hours. Some games get by purely by offering enjoyable aesthetic experiences, but you can only have so much of that, so most games are based on winning (beating the game, winning matches, etc.). Winning requires some form of conflict, even if it's not violent.

I can't think of a single game that does this. In no civilization game is there anything to suggest you're exploiting the environment, quite the contrary actually since you have the same tiles for thousands of years so if you didn't utilize them correctly you wouldn't keep getting the resources, and i've never seen a game where you can frack, or strip mine, or do something actually harmful to the environment.
Unless the very act of using resources is exploitation, in which case eating, drinking, and having a roof above your head all make you a terrible person.

No, it's SJWs who flocked to 4chan after moot removed GG.
They've been pushing a "/v/ never cared about shitty journalism" narrative every time there's a Kotaku thread, despite /v/ having Kotaku hate threads years before GG was even a thing.

>Feminism experts do not feel superior. However we are in a better position to judge the quality of games than most.
I have real trouble believing that anyone could say this seriously. This has to be tongue-in-cheek because it's so obviously contradictory, right?
How on earth is twitter so good at bringing out the inner ugliness in people?
It's like broadcasting your thoughts onto the entire web.

Sometimes it's not so bad
Twitter and facebook does prove that identity does not stop people from being assholes compared to anonymity, though
>>277288315
But don't you get punished if you destroy the environment too much? Isn't the message actually the opposite of what he's claiming it to be?
>>277285226
Too bad he opens the conversation with a decent, socially accepted idea, then goes off the deep end into ranting about how the entire world is out to get women.
Its a nice tactic to get people to join cults.
It's just the typical cultural cringe that's expected from the radical left. They hate the idea of free people in democratic societies having fun and are falling over themselves to defend radical Islam.

TB on Christmas told people to get offline and spend time with family and friends.

yep! I get you. I said "most games".
Games that are both enjoyable and don't involve conflict are still the exception to the rule, and it's cool to have stuff that breaks the mold.
>>277287651 i'd still say those games are maybe less well represented overall. sims, puzzles, more "experience-based" games, like Journey or something don't sell as well as the latewt CoD.these also happen to be the genres of gaming most often associated with female gamers who are kinda vilified for playing them by some folks
also if you genuinely think a game can't be fun and involve no actual conflict, i'd highly suggest trying Hanabi out *shilling intensifies*
>>277288429
So?
>>277288391
You can destroy parts of the environment for short-term gain and ultimately come out ahead.
>>277288429
Yes, and?
>>277288473
>yep! I get you. I said "most games".
And all the people you replied to said "no, all games." Get your shit straight before posting.

>twitter drama
/v/ why are you so obsessed with this guy. I'm convinced he just spouts stupid shit on social media because he knows you'll just take screenshots and take it back here
>>277288030
The mentality of us and them is what started this entire mess in the FIRST PLACE, you nut. That was what gave rise to GG, which allowed a central point for McIntosh, Sarkeesian, Alexander, etc. to attack relentlessly with rhetoric and propoganda. As soon as you attack feminists as a whole group without giving individual attention, you immediately make their point seem valid and they, in a sense, "win."
>>277288473
>don't sell as well
Who give s afuck?
And have you seen shit like Flappy Bird or bejeweled or Solitaire? All non-conflict based games, they don't actually break any mold
MICKIN-TOSH or MACKIN-TOSH?
?

He's the person behind Anita. He enabled Anita to exist, and begin this whole thing.
>>277288581
>As soon as you attack feminists as a whole group without giving individual attention,
No, they retaliated because of individual attention. Against one specific individual. They immediately attacked relentlessly with rhetoric and propaganda.

idgaf, GG is for the best. About time somebody put their foot down and let these people know they're not welcome.
>>277288591
>like Flappy Bird or bejeweled or Solitaire? All non-conflict based games
nigger what are you talking about? All of those games have conflict. It's you against a timer in flappy bird and bejeweled, and you against a deck in solitaire.
>>277288731
But you are the ones not welcome, now mods, come and do your job and ban these shitposters.
>>277288701
Games will never be art until Journeys sell more than COD!
That's why movies are art, look at how badly Transformers sell!

No one ever did that, they just claimed GG did, and people believed them for some weird reason.
>>277288830
You seem a bit mad over nothing dude, care to explain why?
>>277288669
1) In your opinion.
2) How? Because he doesn't meet some moral standard you have, that says a person encouraging others to do something should do that exact thing themselves?
