Even consulting. You are talking about two of the most toxic white, not to mention one known for violent misogyny and yet you are unclear who you want to read this? Do you want this to be weaponized at 2/

The most vulnerable. Are you that interested in audience that you are fine with toxic white readers eating this series up like catnip because you haven’t overtly signaled you are not a white supremacist publication? The mainstream gaming journalism is better than this. 3/

How can a games studies scholar who intersects w/ medieval not get the absolute potential to weaponize the intersection of this? You are teaching to a public audience of numbers you have pulled in this article. Where is the signal that you or this series is not for the alt-right.

Look at all the recent gaming books that address race, gender, LGBTQIA, everyone of them address GG and white supremacy. The ones that don’t thought it was fine to invite Bannon to a gaming conference. Do you understand what kind of damage you can do to harm diverse gamers?

What is more important? Your love or the violence and harm these cultures have caused? And what exactly is not being critical and signaling that you are not a white supremacist so complicated to do? The rhetoric of “love” was what GG used to justify violence.

@nkjemisin in#RaceFail. So please, using “ love” only follows exactly the logic of the toxic swarms. Who the hell are you going to harm by continuing w/out clear antiracist, feminist, LGBTQIA affirming message?1 reply 0 retweets 9 likes -

And please, multiple angles in this arena is both sides BS. There is no multiple angles to GG, toxic misogyny, antiracism, and the horrors of the alt-right. Multiple angles is complicity to violence and dehumanization. This is not a theoretical issue. Ppl have been hurt.

In consideration of the colleagues tagged in this thread, and for those just arriving, let me be extremely clear: in my earlier tweet, the ‘many angles and focuses’ referred to the subfields & interdisciplinary approaches of games studies. It did not refer to GG, “2-sides” etc.

As my critique was clear about what area I had issues with, how is this response then a defense of the frames of this series. Subfields and interdisciplinary approaches in gaming always should address and ground issues of race, gender, sexuality, disability etc.

It was not a response to your critique. It was a clarification on my previous tweet to ensure my reference to multiple focuses was not misinterpreted or misrepresented.

So then what exactly is the point here? Because the intro. to the series is basically a big old white space for white supremacists to hang out. And really, also signals incredibly white gamer scholarship which lots of games studies folks have fought for years.

Really, we are quoting and using AOC as a shield? Also we've discussed this already.
