>>94514322>you can't be racist towards white peopleI know it's the US and all, but that's a little bullshit even for you guys.
>the mediaEh. Technically it's not the media that can't fathom there are more races than 'white' and 'black', (hence all the Zimmerman anger), people tend to jump on a side of the bandwagon of whatever's going on currently, while knowing as little as possible.
Closest thing I can think of as to where that came from is maybe a Malcolm X speech (which were deliberately inflammatory compared to Luther King's speeches), or maybe an analysis of the commoness of institutionalised racism. In the latter case, you could easily argue that institutionalised racism has a far lower chance of affecting white people as opposed to black people, but that's about it.
>>94514008Gamergate is another incidence where no-one is right, and you can only choose the least bad wrong. Gaming journalism has always been a mild joke, having only more accuracy than celebrity journalism, and the entire review process.
On the one hand, Sarkeesian has only ever hit the mark on the oversexualisation of all characters in videogames. On everything else, she misses the mark, either completely or by not noting key examples, case studies and projects where something went wrong/right.
On the other hand, unless Quinn and Wu are extremely stupid, I doubt they slept with the reviewers for good reviews. If they did, then fair enough, I'm wrong. I never did get to the bottom of whether the 'militarisation of space' had some kind of 'patriarchal' agenda so it's possible.
>>94513090Nah. Once helped one of my friends hide from a dude carrying a bodypillow of their cosplay around unironically, and I've caught a few (I want to say Mystic 8?) whatever that dating sim cosplayers glaring at me when I agreed to do photos with/for people, but that's about it.
