We call them “game journos”
The comments are the usual mental cripples patting themselves on the back
Exhibit A: “What do you mean I need evidence for my bullshit theories I denigrate half the population with?”
Exhibit B: “People criticizing retardation means the retardation must be right! Btw I’m a good kind of man, not like the bad kind”
Exhibit C: “This nonsensical pile of shit is #StunningAndBrave! Dudebro men are the worst! I too can prefix negative words with “man”! Please praise me!”
I wonder who this article interviews - it must be knowledgeable people with a deep connection to the gaming community
Oh
They specialize in “””culture”””
Btw I like how Anita’s intro takes the effort to spell out how she is an expert at being harassed online
Feminist “culture critics” love making wild claims without empirical backing
People are trained by society, women are devalued in games, men by definition denigrate women, women threaten men
Just #ListenAndBelieve it’s totally an academic discipline and they’re totally experts
Oh someone who supported #GamerGate - maybe this is a meager attempt at balance
Oh I see
Mattie Brice - now where have I heard that name before
Must be some kind of expert in gendered online toxicity I’m sure
Oh yes
So the article is a soapbox for fake “culture” experts who think empirical research is a tool of the patriarchy, an anarcho-communist, and randoms from Anita’s man-hating social circle
And it’s praised by catwranglers and goonybeards from San Francisco
You know these people don’t really give a shit about real harassment, gendered or otherwise, or they would be publicizing this long list of actual sexual harassers and worse from their own social circles
