Presidential Video Game Panel to Meet Today

[Machismo]

I daresay a lot of the Gamergaters who voted for Trump because he was ostensibly supposed to 'stop the tide of political correctness', lol.

So, my dear dudebros; as it turns out the Troll-in-Chief is actually a conservative old man who hates you just as much as everyone else.

I think the GamerGaters will largely just stay quiet, and see exactly what Trump is calling for. he ran his mouth about "violence" in video games, but didn't say anything about other issues. I think there's going to be a lot of whataboutisms and deflection from all sides in the coming days.

[Elegiac]

I think there's some diverging issues on what exactly the goal is. One is about violence, and the other is about exploitation of women. I think there's plenty of people who are going to say that violence is fine, but the exploitation of women that is depicted should be addressed.

And they would be correct in saying such, as media is not formative in terms of action but it is highly formative in terms of worldview.

Most of the gamergate movement wasnt even on the right, more centrists/left

lmao what a fucking joke this is, no guns are fine, but lets try blame video games!

remember before video games the thousands of years of peace humans had, no wars no killing nothing, just peace, then evil video games came along and suddenly we're living in the most violent times ever! LUL.

i bet president chump was offered to play some CoD or battlefield and got destroyed by a 13 year old who hadn't hit puberty yet and this is how he#s trying to get back at him, again i give it another LUL.

Yeah but Activision, EA, and other massive video game profiteers don't heavily lobby in congress. If they matched the gun lobby in corrupt funds going to Washington than they wouldn't be touched. But they don't. So guns will have nothing done to them and games will get fucked. Deal with it.

[Deldavala]

Well, Kataku and Anita are useless. Seriously, I despise everything about both.

I agree they are useless, but still fun to watch them do a 180 to not be aligned with Trump.

[sarahtasher]

Video games, yes. Porn, not so much.

There's video game players all over The_Donald on reddit, there's tons of right wing aligned gamers, and close friends of the top of the republican party are major stakeholders in video game companies.

The GOP is not more hostile to violent hypermasculine video games than the democrats are. The democrats are, after all, home to the Social Justice Warrior, who want to purge "hypermasculinity", violence, sex (or allusions to sex, such as "objectification") etc. Do I need to say more? Don't give the democrats a free pass here. Each party both have their own way in which they wanna mess with the medium, but in both cases the people who want to do so are in a minority, which is good.

Weeeeell, yes, but it's the pretty lax on the enforcement. Most stores will sell them anyway because there are no consequences, and if nothing else you can simply buy a Steam card and go on Steam and buy it there, and just lie about your age for 5 minutes as you do so. It's really easy to circumvent the current rules. They are ineffective.

So legally you technically can't, but realistically you totally can.

How the frack you have to be deluded to think the Republicans are for games like GTA ? I'm not even sure that in the Bible Belt they are still not preaching that ''Mario games'' teach satanism.

The edgelords gamergaters want to combine rabid ultra conservatism with people being happy with ''videyahgamuz'' boobies. Good luck with that. Of course you will plenty of bible thumpers that will agree with your stance that ''wumin are stoopid and should make mah sandmiches''-you will struggle to find them to agree with boobie animes.

In that sense, exploitation would go both ways, as it is mostly men being used to construct these violent scenarios. After all, aren't men the primary targets of (general) violence?

The hell did I just say? That sounded so.... sjw

Have you ever actually listened to a single conservative radio show, watched a speaker, etc?

And by the way, the KotakuInAction subreddit made a poll of political leanings and found that they were on average on the very libertarian slight left part of the spectrum, so you're full of **** on that one, too.

Americans are amazing. 'We can't let these children play violent video games' while having kids parties in a gun range.

I don't think Gamergaters will care as long as there's no women, gays, or minorities in their video games.

[schwarzkopf]

Hopefully the new laws will prevent people from mass slaughters via throwing game cartridges at hundreds of innocent children.

Or worse - trained CD throwers slicing off party goer's heads with a flick of the wrist.

Yep - obvious guns have nothing to do with gun shooting, so lets target the OBVIOUS problem of grapefruits.

[Elegiac]

GamerGater here who's still happy that Trump won. Trump might, maybe, try to more effectively ban the sale of games to minors with violent content, whereas Hillary was appealing to the SJW's, who were infesting literally every studio and changing the actual games themselves. That would've been much worse, especially for me in Denmark, as what Trump and his base is doing doesn't affect me, whereas what Hillary and her base is doing and was going to ramp up absolutely would have.

And exactly what are the SJW's doing that will "affect you" negatively?

Being against diversity in media puts you in the right wing camp, sorry bud.

Ah yes, those well known ''left leaning'' people that have CSA flags and do the goose step. Who considers the REPUBLICANS as ''left wing,''

You'll also see the legion of anti-PC folks who jumped on the Kekistan bandwagon and supported Trump... and see how they squirm. There's going to be a lot of justification of illogical stances in the coming days. Let's face it, a large contingent of the GamerGate community rolled right into shitposting in favor of Trump.

Personally, I think there's just too much moral outrage and hypocrisy. I have long opposed trying to force social change in video games and the industry. If the markets want it, then it will happen. If not, then it won't.

[Deldavala]

They arent against diversity. They are against forced diversity, basicly diversity just for diversity sake.

[Ishayu]

Changing the games in stupid ways that don't make sense beacuse they want their diversity?

Actually sit down and study the history of GamerGate and how it happened before opening your flap about it again, please? Let me get you started: It began with feminists, game journalists, and game publishers having a secret chat where they conspired to push a left-wing political agenda, coordinated reviews, and pushed a political agenda into the medium.

When GamerGate happened, they moved on to comic books. Marvel changed A LOT and is no longer profitable. Marvel is starting to revert back.

In the meantime, they've gone after Magic: The Gathering.

And on and on it goes. They're infesting everything.

[Coombs]

If Trump ruins Grand Theft Auto 6 just like Anthony Rapp Ruined House of Cards season 6 I'm going to be fucking pissed!

[Elegiac]

They arent against diversity.

Sure, Felicia.

They are against forced diversity, basicly diversity just for diversity sake.

What does this even mean?
