Only have to read the first 3-4 sentences to realize these are the same people that pushed to get raunchy cartoons, we grew up with in the 90's, off TV.

At least they're realizing this is a problem and can mabye do something. It makes me want to knock some chick up so I can raise a non-pussified child and cancel one out, sadly I'm a fag so that'll be hard. trigger warning

Can't you adopt a kid from a third world country or something? I thought that was the 'in' thing.

[Waraji]

Not sure that constitutes as an "in" thing but more so a "one of two options" thing. It's "in" if your a celebrity though.

Other countries don't like THE GAYS.

Also trigger warnings need to come BEFORE the trigger goddamnit Koul, you offended my purist belief system by making me think about sex, homosexuality and misogyny because you said "chick" and not "woman"

Stopped reading halfway through the first paragraph.

[Tarage]

No means to comment, no means to contact the author, no means to even find out who wrote the fucking thing.

Yeah, clearly this person wants to just shout at the world and not bother to listen.

[Qalbert]

its even worse reading than Marvel's Original Sin

[Qalbert]

that being said, there are definitely some people who have used it as described therein to justify their bullshit harassment.

#NotAllGamers, you say? Tough. Welcome to the word of open-invite politics, where anyone who lays claim to a movement is technically part of that movement. See also: the Tea Party. You live and die by your worst members, and right now, your worst members are utterly and openly putrid.

Mazmaz, now that you've linked this... I never want to see a "not all feminists" post from you ever again.
Just don't do it.

Can someone give me a tl;dr about the whole situation? Gaming journalists want the death of gamers because something something females?

[Waraji]

Initially yeah, now its... a bit more inclusive of all publishers/developers and shit status of the gaming journalism industry. ?

The gist of it is that the majority of the gaming press/indie scene is saying that "gamers are dead" because online harassment and trolls run rampant and pretty much everyone who identifies as a gamer is a bigoted white cisgender sexist racist male. Oh, and you must agree with said gaming press/feminists or you're again all those colorful things.

Which sparked the hashtags #notyourshield and #gamergate. Originating from 4chan I think(?) which drew more ire because 4chan is the hive of trolling so of course those hashtags were just more methods of harassment. Even though those hashtags are being used by MANY people who are not part of the trolls or people sending death threats etc and are just trying to prove that you can be non-straight-white-male and disagree with the SJW's/dick-riding gaming press

[Correction]

Originating from 4chan I think(?)

Originated from Libertarian poster child Adam Baldwin. Same guy who asserted if gays could marry, then so could fathers and sons, so watch out slippery slope.

On the trigger stuff, it makes sense in some contents. On the mommy boards people use it for a lot of posts related to things like miscarriages. Because of the target audience, you are going to find a huge portion of posters who went through that and don't want to relive it.

But yeah, in college that's dumb.

I never understood trigger warnings. If someone is sensitive to, say, miscarriages, and is on a pregnancy website and someone is talking about their term and puts a spoiler with TRIGGER WARNING on it... Isn't that in and of itself a trigger? You're going to assume the worst, and if you're already sensitive to the point of having panic attacks, wouldn't you eventually associate "trigger warning" with the trigger itself?

I'm honestly asking. I don't understand.

Because miscarriages aren't the only thing that can happen. Some are people who lost their kid to drowning. There is a mother who lost their son because he woke up early and tried to climb his dresser and it fell on him.

The word *trigger* in a title is vague enough to let them know the thread is about something awful. So you click at your own risk if you know it could be something you can't handle.
