PSEUDO INTELLECTUALISM AND PSYCHOLOGY FOR BROS

NUDGE NUDGE

Yeah - asking questions, expressing one's ideas, and experiences is SO DUMB.

Being inclusive, committing to diversity, representating complex characters of all backgrounds is so irrelevant to me because

1) I'm a white dude so I could NEVER see any problem with this game
2) This is how video game culture has always…

Smart people care.

You don't care how women are treated in it? Good for you. Write an essay on it instead of DERAILING the conversation this writer started.

"Should men care how they're treated...?" False equivalence.
Ever heard of something called historical context?

WHY THIS GAME? OR ANOTHER GAME? OR ANY GAME?
WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH FOR THESE PEOPLE? IF YOU GIVE THEM ONE GAME, THEN THEY'LL TAKE OVER ALL THE GAMES!
WHEN WILL THESE PEOPLE EVER BE SATISFIED?
WHY DO THEY HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING?
WHY CAN'T EOPLE JUST HAVE THEIR NICE THINGS AND KEEP THINGS EXACTLY THE WAY THEY WERE?

WON'…

"...the "marginalized"...probably wouldn't even buy the game anyways..."
MORE PERSONAL ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE PLEASE!

1. Right, because women and people of color don't buy video games!
2. "marginalized" - yes, because it's SO stupid to use appropriate academic terms in intellectual and critical discussion, right?
3. …

Yes! Money solves everything!
Capitalism has solved all social and cultural issues from racism, sexism, and poverty!
Marginalized voices have NO RIGHT to want ANYTHING!

Thank you for this. It is 2013. I don't enjoy every game out there either, since the majority of them aren't marketed to people like me. I'm just going to play the very few games I love. And laugh at anyone who feels they aren't represented in the games they play! Screw empathy, amiright?

Yeah, these articles that challenge cultural norms that I've passively accepted are THE WORST.

Yeah, I agree. If you don't think sexism in gaming culture it's a big deal based on your very narrow personal experience, then it MUST not be a problem for any one else. Why can't we stop victimizing men!? Someone please think of the male gamers who are getting so hurt by this false characterization! I mean, the…

You missed the point entirely.

You must be white.

I've seen a bear party before.

You must also be afraid of black people for "rational" reasons.

1. Ecological fallacy. Look it up.

2. Just because you think you're using "logic" and "statistics", you're still a racist piece of sh*t.

Amazing.

Islam is not a race, but like anything else, it can be - and has been - racialized

...seriously.

RACISM BINGO - you're winning it!

"I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve heard Islamophobes and some well-intentioned non-Muslims make this argument whenever Islamophobia…

Actually, I would prefer it if a lot more if people would feel worried about sounding condescending or racist.

People of color could be punished or killed for looking at a white person wrong, and I think white people need to understand that this is the history they have inherited and one that people of color endure…

You know what's also not a great place for women?
The United States, where every two minutes someone is sexually assaulted.

Let's get on that before we start trying to tell people of color what they should do.

I actually didn't know about any of that.
I just didn't want to watch them because they looked like other bro-centric movies I've seen before.
White House Down looked like white dude saving the world.
After Earth looked like another post-apocalyptic cliche.
And The Lone Ranger was racism central.

I noticed that line too when I heard the track.

I'm not a rap historian so I can't tell you who originated it, but the first time I heard this line was when Jin the MC was battling Skyzoo on BET's Freestyle Friday:
