And yes, I am furious about Anita's cancelled talk, about the spectre of Marc Lepine being raised over a lecture on *video games*
-
That even a "moderate" would be so callous as to say that speaks volumes about a severe failure of empathy endemic to the movement.
In response to my essay on FPS, one GGer quoted Robespierre to say "there can be no virtue without terror," validating everything I argued.
-
@Quinnae_Moon I was wondering if they would ever make that connection themselves... -
@Quinnae_Moon Jesus, who quotes Robespierre? Red flag!! -
Terror, for one too many GGers, has become the despotism of their perverse digital "virtue," a pure conception of the "gamer" identity.
-
Because the reaction of the movement is damning enough. No humanity, just PR/spin, denial, victim blaming, and endless slander.
-
Even if Wu's threat came from outside, GG's collective response-- to say she doxxed herself, that she did it for attention-- has damned them
-
@Quinnae_Moon And the creation of a fallback narrative that justifies further terror. -
The worst thing that some of the most radical GGers fear is *looking bad*-- and that is blood-curdling.
-
@Quinnae_Moon It should be a red flag to you that people just assume your responsible 4 horrible things.That people expect it at this point -
@Quinnae_Moon It's beautiful, in that I just had some white guy sporting#NotYourShield proundly on his icon and i called him out. -
@Quinnae_Moon and he immediately backpedaled to call it an anti-gg plot. -
@Quinnae_Moon When I was harrassed, the argument from the few wanting it to stop wasn't that it was wrong, but because it "provided ammo."
