A reminder that right wingers are just as cringe and ignorant about attacking this shit as these types of morons are, none of them are our friends. I know I go on about it but it bears repeating because it's easy to attack the low hanging fruit when there are plenty of other factions that are open about attacking peoples' hobbies politically just because they personally dislike it. If it's not the left attacking games and anime over sexism it's the right claiming it's degeneracy and causes violence.
You are right, but I think there is an important distinction.
You can be on the Right and not do those things. It works within the framework of nearly all forms of Right wing thought commonly held these days, even if some choose to be retards about it.
You cannot be on the Left without being that way. Its diametrically opposed to the very foundations and beliefs that predicate you being on the Left. If someone claims to be on the Left and isn't doing so, they are either a bad Leftist, a retard who has no idea what words mean, or just an outright hypocrite.
This is only important because it means that someone being on the Right isn't an immediate "enemy" while someone claiming to be on the Left has to be by default.
Oh absolutely, the thing that made me hang out with right wingers in the first place is that a lot of them are actually chill. They're the ones who started winning over non-voters because let's be real back in the day right wingers were cringe as fuck which is why they always lost. When Trump came along it was suddenly a bit more hip and fun to be right wing in spite of the left wing screeching.
However what's been happening here as we're seeing on this very site with the people who are getting triggered is you've got the evangelicals, the tradcons and the neo-con types trying to make a comeback now the right as gained a sliver of relevancy in mainstream politics and they are just as insufferable as any leftist.
I would just be extremely wary of any right winger pulling a 'hello, fellow gamers' routine and then concern trolling the fuck out of us over gaming because they do it and it's annoying, they're no better than Anita Sarkeesian.
I think the problem is that most of the problems those people complain about are actual problems. We just disagree on the severity and solution.
Let's take porn. Porn addiction is a real problem, effecting an absurd number of people and its having a tangible effect on people's perceptions of reality. Do we simply let that go unabated and hope eventually it settles out? Or do we acknowledge some people can't handle freedom and need to be led by the nose?
I think that's the big schism in the Right these days. The philosophical quandary of if people can be trusted with their own freedom, or do they need to be held firm to a standard to keep them above water. The rise of atheism after the decline of Christianity has shown that at least in that category they absolutely cannot be left to figure it out on their own.
I think as long as these problems exist and are so palpable in the damage they cause, we can't rightly tell these people to shutup and leave. We need to come to a middle point of either "truce until the Left is dead" or compromise on those beliefs to bring them to reality.
the right claiming it's degeneracy and causes violence.
oh how your tongue twists, some lawyers and grift organizations in the 90s going on about "the GTA" are now equated to the people of today who dislike our world of high speed pornography and dopamine toxicity.
to think that you can be any better than lefties while exposing yourself to the same fucked up, hormonally destructive shit they expose themselves to, to the point where you even feel the need to vehemently defend the act online, is nothing but insanity.
People with personal addiction problems and those on psychiatric medicine are the issue when it comes to anything happening in the gaming community. Something I've written extensively on, particularly the personal addiction problem part. Yes, you, specifically you, are exactly like the 90's era right wingers ranting about GTA and you have fuck all evidence to back it up.
Even psychologists who would love nothing more than to pin shit on gamers and gaming as a hobby could not find proper direct links between video games and violence or video games and sexism. In every single case the people who do have issues are using video games as a coping mechanism and have underlying psychological issues already going on with them. It's the same effect as alcohol, drugs and porn, the issue is an underlying one and a coping mechanism, it's nothing to do with the acts themselves.
The recent trend in micro-transactions and gambling mechanics are a great example of how absolute psychopaths are deliberately taking advantage of vulnerable people using predatory marketing tactics to get them to spend money on these games. If you talked about that you might have some credibility but no, instead your whole goal is to just shit on gamers who enjoy their hobby isn't it?
first of all, this isn't about sexism, lol. i am a sexist, and unrelatedly my primary worry is about the effect porn has on MEN, not women.
so, one can watch midget rape porn as a natural progression when the Dead Or Alive titties stop feeling exciting, get blackout drunk, and take heroin-cocaine speedballs, but as long as they're a well-adjusted person otherwise and aren't using the former things as a coping mechanism, it's cool, right?
i'm probably butchering what he said a little, but it was thomas sowell, ironically a negro, who came up with a good distinction between lefties and sane people: lefties think ideally, that everything can be the best version of itself and that's the result people should barrel towards. you exhibit this vision, because you think people can do all the above and still stand a chance in frozen-over hell to be well-adjusted.
sane people realize that the willpower of man is generally lacking and that throwing boob physics into every game because it's vaguely less disgusting than the mystery meat dyke afro stuff is still not the best, most rational choice. it replaces beauty-destroying cultural degeneration with just another sort of cultural degeneration: that is, the reduction of beauty into commodified lust.
the fact that you get so worked up just over being told that maybe H-cup bikini girls are more lustful than they're worth in entertainment media is proof enough that it has enough of a hold on you to start being damaging. if truly it meant nothing and was not an addiction you would have no problems with those same, pretty girls just being fully clothed and less exaggerated instead. instead you jump to attack your allies and insist that pornography has a place in society. it's just a hobby man, i just enjoy my hobby, let me have my constant half-chub watching bikini babes move around on screen. it couldn't possibly have an unseen effect on my psyche.
I wasn't even posting about sex or sexual content in games you massive social retard I was mainly posting about gaming itself as a hobby. You've basically ousted yourself as an anti-fun moral authoritarian and there is zero way you will be satisfied, once you're done attacking gaming, you'll move onto something else to get uppity over. You're just the same sort of power monger as the left wingers are except you don't have state backing, that's the only difference.
You're the one who brought up sexual content, you, apparently me wanting to enjoy playing battlebit remastered in my off time which is literally a game people equate to roblox is egregious as fuck. Just like with Anita Sarkeesian you have deliberately cherry picked examples of games you think are 'degenerate'. Yes, you are the right wing version of Anita Sarkeesian because she deliberately cherry picked examples as well to try and make her ideological point about games.
There are plenty of games that lots of people play which aren't even remotely sexualised yet you have latched onto some extremely specific examples that use sex as part of their marketing. I have absolutely no fucking problem with triggering people like you, you are not the sort of person I would ever want to hang out with in any capacity.
You're fucking cringe and don't have a leg to stand on and I'm deliberately ignoring the white nationalist elements of your post too and trying to be fair. Yes, there is no problem with boob physics in a game or sexual content especially if gamers aren't playing these games as a vehicle for their personal problems. Yes you are full of shit and don't know what you're writing about like most people who attack video games.
