Have they really stooped to the point where they're talking about cultural appropriation of Fortite dances?

There have been two full threads based on the issue.  Expect a third one soon because Carlton is actually suing for his dance.

You all happy about telling minorities that you're good with stealing from them? That all of the accolades you receive from white people is enough to ignore where they jacked the spices and recipes from?
Motherfuckers invaded other continents just to get salt. SALT. Boiling your spuds had never been so glorious until you had to jack it from other countries.
This ain't the silk road. You don't get to lie thru this. We're not moving breadfruit from one island to feed slaves anymore. The slaves own that. . Give respect to your learning of other cultures and stop undercutting them every chance you get. Assholes.

OK, Diz is certainly a freshman in in college if he in anyway thinks that literal wars fought over SALT! is some magic bullet to prove what devils the whites are.

Diz and DigitalOP are the black versions of those white frosh who would say, "did you know Kwannza was only invented in the 70's?"

Literally no one in this thread seems to be aware that Roseanne is Jewish, instead focusing on "why do right wingers love Israel" and "fuck Israel" talking points.

The evangelists scooped her up while she was in a vulnerable state, ripe for radicalization, after losing her career over racist tweets.

Wouldn't be surprised if she goes full Tila Tequila on social media now

Alimnassor would probably reliably hold the crown if I didn't suspect him of being a troll. That, and the pee steak he ate undercuts and makes laughable everything he posts.

[benjipwns]

That's one aspect, there's also diaspora, having a lever in the middle east, standard geopoly, national and historical responsibility, the effects and repercussions of WWII and some really bad planning. It's also highly convenient for some actors in the region to use Israel as a boogeyman for their own authoritarian shit and this has kept the Palestinians affected as kind of legal and political human pinballs for everyone from the Billy Graham to Hamas. Reducing it to a simple, singular issue does a disservice to the complexity of solutions. The thing you're talking about is a fairly recent end times recipe that's been fomented by politicians and people who believe in the development and protection of a Jewish nation rather than some natural scriptural conclusion. It takes some heavy lifting to get to the "Return of Christ after Armageddon" part of it and a few evangelicals think it's stupid or dangerous too. Although you're absolutely right that it's a real and frightening aspect of this heady stew.

People are getting way too caught on on the physical design (not what the thread is about) and not the implications of a superpowered human deprived of her power suit in a hostile alien world.

How would a game like that play?

That's the premise of the thread.

Samus went from being a strong, enigmatic, independent, hyper-competent, deadly serious protagonist, to getting official characeter art like this:

The characer is completely sexualized. Every single piece of official art goes out of its way to show bother her ass cheeks and her boobs. Nothing has done more to undermine a character than the zero suit design.

It's shitty, man. I've seen people banned for less and the extremist left viewpoints carelessly tossing around words like bigot and racist as a way to slander people and discredit opposing viewpoints seem imune to any sort of scrutiny. You'll also see people brag about how these threads weed out people who don't necessarily subscribe to these narrow views of it you're not with us 100% than you're against us. It's getting harder to have an actual discussion these days, but I guess that's what a lot of forums have become . Face to face seems to be the best option for this sort of stuff. I don't like how personal attacks and silencing opposing viewpoints are the new norms. I think most can agree extremism on any side is pretty shitty. What happened to balancing the two and being moderate or a left-leaning conservative or right-leaning liberal ?

Look at all that hostility

[benjipwns]

So to you, raising money for child labor in India means he couldn't possibly be a racist?
Have very simplistic. Doing a nice thing people who aren't white isn't a shield against racism and he is absolutely a racist.
Have you ever called someone a distinguished black fellow and if not why?

Well according to you it's not racist to do so, so why wouldn't you? There's nothing wrong with it right?
You seem to think calling someone a distinguished black fellow is disrespectful but not racist. Why is that?

Yes, how dare us expect someone who is whining about people overacting to put a modicum of effort into actually knowing what they are talking about.
Would you have posted what you posted if you had actually read this thread or looked up what this piece of shit has done on multiple occasions? If not, why are you getting so upset by how people are responding to you?

Except I didn't actually do any of that. I wrote that you couldn't resist the urge to complain about people "overreacting" not that you couldn't resist the urge to defend him.
I didn't imply anything, I stated exactly what you did.
Stop playing the victim and read what people are actually writing.

What discussion were you attempting to have by claiming people were overreacting to the video? What response did you expect to get?

"My issue is, Enzom comes in saying I couldnt resist the urge to defend PDP"
Did I write that you couldn't resist the urge to defend this piece of shit? I wrote you couldn't resist the urge to complain about people overreacting, which is exactly what you did.
You either have poor reading comprehension or you're being willfully obtuse.

This easily? What does someone have to do for you to consider them garbage? We know it's not calling someone a distinguished black fellow as that is clearly not an issue for you.
Maybe say mean things about a racist? Would you consider that person garbage?

What kind of butt is this seriously
 

[clothedmacuser]

Enzom has been on an absolute tear with the N-word recently.  I assume because Labor left him all alone to make wild, stupid assumptions about everyone.


As a learned man I know there is no difference between using the "Hard R" and the "Funny, social, and happy A," version of the n-word. Yet Enzom seem fine with the "R" version where even Lion Pride was an "a," man.   That's what us school therapist call "bad attention."

[benjipwns]

The suit is disliked so much now because it's seen as overshadowing Varia Samus. She always had that bikini in the old games but they were like a momentary stain, an unfortunate relic of the era those games came out. They not taking over the entire character. People don't imagine Samus as this badass Bounty hunter in a Varia suit anymore, they see her as sexy aryan lady in Blue body suit with the massive tits and ass.

WHY CAN'T METROID SEXY NAZI?

MASSIVE TITS AND ASS

[benjipwns]

I hate that she doesn't have the amazon build I imagined her to have way back then. Now she's just another conventionally attractive, acrobatic female fighter in a skin-tight cat suit. It's the most unoriginal route they could've taken her.

Somebody at Nintendo did kinda forget she's supposed to be over six foot tall and big enough to carry the suit.

Of course, none of those Nintendo Power comics (or any of the stuff in the strategy guides) are canon even tho I thought that and the Star Fox one were pretty cool. I also seem to remember the Zelda one trying to explain the time line back when there were only three games and just making it more unclear.

Random.  This was the 4th or 5th post I got searching Enzom.

Saying distinguished black fellow is not racist, but calling a black person a distinguished black fellow is definitely racist.

Maybe his views have evolved?  But then again he never directed a Morvel movie.  Hmm.

[benjipwns]

That was from before we became 1930's Germany. Times have changed. It's more important than ever that you call Enzom21 a distinguished African-American fellow with a HARD R. THE HARDER THE BETTER.

Have YOU considered getting a degree in GamerGate Studies? Apply today!

Nerd and geek culture have become subjects of increasing public concern in recent years, with growing visibility and power for technical professions and increasing relevance of video games, science fiction, and fantasy in popular culture. As a subculture, nerd/geek culture tends to be described in terms of the experiences of men and boys who are unpopular because of their niche interests or lack of social skills. This dissertation proposes the concept of nerd/geek masculinity to understand discourses of hegemonic masculinity in nerd/geek culture. Examining three case studies, the novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, the neoreactionary political ideology, and the #GamerGate controversy, the dissertation suggests that nerd/geek masculinity responds to a perceived emasculation of men who identify as nerds or geeks by constructing the interests, skills, and behaviors of nerd/geek culture as inherently male traits. In this way, nerd/geek masculinity turns the very traits nerds and geeks are often mocked for into evidence of manhood – as the cost of excluding women and queer people from nerd and geek culture.

As someone whose life experience has taken many unforeseen paths, who began her PhD studies under a different name than she would finish them with, I have received amazing strength from sources that all too often go unremarked and unrewarded, or are dismissed as distractions. With so many close friends leaving the area or finding different paths, the Internet has provided an important way for me to stay in touch with those who have traveled far away, and to find support from those who I may never meet in person. Twitter, in particular, has provided extensive emotional support and active assistance in my research. In particular, I need to acknowledge Arthur Chu as a Twitter contact who has been enormously helpful in researching both #GamerGate and neoreaction. In general, I want to praise social media not merely as a way to escape from academic work, but also to supplement and enhance it.

The work of crafting a dissertation requires support for the soul and the heart, not just the mind. I’ve often felt that academic work is a poor substitute for “true” art, but at the same time, the art and especially the music that have comforted me through this process have in a very real sense become part of the product. I want to acknowledge the comfort I’ve received from artists like Laura Jane Grace, Amy Lee, and Tuomas Holopainen during this process. I am a mere scholar, not a poet, but “without you, the poetry within me is dead.”

Finally, I want to thank all of those who form the bedrock of the topic I’m studying: the people of nerd and geek culture who have struggled with the hegemonically masculine forces that I define and critique in this dissertation. Zoe Quinn, Brianna Wu, Katherine Cross, Anita Sarkeesian, and countless others who go by countless names, online handles, and pseudonyms have fought and suffered for a fight they did not choose. I only hope that my words here can somehow honor their struggle.

As Porpentine noted,
mainstream video games are created according to very particular ideological standards
114
and expectations about audience, and as Polygon blogger TracyLien documents game
marketing since the 1990s has created the expectation that games will be consumed by
heterosexual, straight men.38 #GamerGate discourse, somewhat ahistorically (because the
shift toward marketing to men and boys began during the 1990s), constitutes gaming has
always have been part of a male discursive space. As a result, it is not surprising that a
#GamerGate supporter would take on the voice of a woman in order to parody perceived
female attitudes toward games:
1988 – “lol look at loser anon and his vidya!”39
1989 – “lol look at loser anon and his vidya!”
[…]2005 – “lol look at loser anon and his vidya!”
2006 – “why won’t anyone give me attention?”
2007 – “The cake is a lie XDXDXD”40
2008 – “Girls can play games too ya know!”
2009 – “I’m a grrrrl gamer!”
2010 – “Girls are just as good as guys pretty much”
2011 – “Videogames are sexist”
2012 – “Videogames must cater to our needs”41
Clearly, <games>, in the dominant hegemonic conception, are something made for and
belonging to straight white boys, and #GamerGate supporters are deeply invested in
defending and strengthening this association. The indie games community with which
#GamerGate grew to take issue is made up of large numbers of people who, in various
ways, challenge one of more of those identity markers by producing <games> that are
115
not for straight white boys.

To be a “gamer,” especially a “hardcore” one, is to be read as male, and this is an
assumption #GamerGate maintains and reinforces through the construction of
antagonism inherent in their view of the meaning of <games>.The case of Gone Home,
from studio Fullbright Games, is illustrative: Gone Home is a “story exploration video
game” about investigating the Greenbriar family home, which is mysteriously empty and
filled with mementos of characters’ pasts, lives, and relationships with one another.42
The player discovers a love story between two women at the core of the game’s story.
Critics praised Gone Home as a “poignant” exploration of a family’s life together,43 and
its positive representation of a lesbian relationship garnered attention from queer
critics.44But the game itself received aggressive criticism from those in the gaming
community, becoming almost a shibboleth for games that are not <games>.
Encyclopedia Dramatica, a wiki site used by #GamerGate to host information and
attacks on #GamerGate’s opponents (including “doxes,” revealed personal information
about public figures and Internet users),45 has a page on Gone Home with “this is not a
game” in flashing, multicolored, capital letters at the top.
