The fact that you throw out "marxist" and "leftist" labels around as if they're an insult—no less about people who don't even have any idea who Carl Marx was—makes you just as ignorant as you purport everyone else to be.

Also it's obvious from the lack of any female presence in your life that you're about as beta as it gets.

When a hot topic presents itself, everyone wants to write about it. This happens all the time, not just with the notion of the death of the gamer identity. And a lot of the examples in that video didn't even support Sargon's point; I recognize the article screencaps and I've read some of them, they actually say the opposite of what he thinks. Not to mention that for every screencap that was provided, there are 5 more articles with headlines and content that don't support Sargon's argument. The only shit storm it seems to have caused is in your pants.

Quinn fake doxxed herself, whilst getting payments from other feminists that were brigading all over the place on her behalf. Shit, read the tweets in the vid. Some of them aren't even threats. 'I hope you die soon', whilst aye, quite nasty, is not a threat at all. Not least a fucking death threat. These people are carrot-crunching loony fucking tunes!
Yeah, she's getting death threats, but a few of them are fake, so the rest don't matter. :dork:
If your "I hope you die soon" example of a non-death threat is referring to the first 20 seconds of the video, then you chose to ignore the tweet directly underneath it in the video that says "I hope you enjoy your last moments on this earth". I can cherry-pick my examples to make a point, too.

way to miss my point completely. the quote was "recognise you're still racist" - that is to say it's being claimed (by whoever compiled that infographic) that 'being racist' is cashed out as an 'objective' property, i.e. something you don't choose, nor can you choose to renounce. if one accepts this, then certain strange beliefs logically follow on from it, such as:

1) there can never be an end to racism (a pretty pessimistic conclusion). racism is now raised to the level of a metaphysical truth, beyond political action or social change; and

2) that a certain class of people (white people in this instance, but it could be anyone) are to some extent defined by the colour of their skin - a disturbing conclusion to draw for someone claiming to be 'against racism' since it effectively re-creates the foundational logic of racism (but disguises this by switching the roles); and lastly

3) unless the speaker is merely advocating an entirely inner-directed (and hence invisible) "recognition", some kind of 'public performance' of this "recognition" is required, and this 'performance' must be ongoing and unending, given the metaphysical nature of racism. the 'original sin' can never be expunged, and redemption is impossible. this brings to my mind such things as Calvinism or der ewige Jude, not to mention cultural practices that involving 'marking' criminals in some way, like cutting off the hands of thieves, or branding in a publicly visible way - pretty disturbing associations

Memphis wrote:Affirmative action can be problematic. I have difficulty in seeing it as a simple case of picking so many of each 'type' of people (retches a bit) and stacking boardrooms with bodies, marginalised by colour, like it's some quite dodgy game of Connect 4.
You need so many whites, blacks, asians. So many women. Some of them have to be of errr... less moderate build, shall we say. Shit, Muslims, we've need some Muslims. Now Jews. Few Othordox Christians, a Mormon etc...

It is understandable to want, nay need representation and opportunity, although it's where and who gets trimmed and if it can be done as fairly as possible, at the end of the day. I sure wouldn't want to be the CV juggler that has to toss away 2 good ones, for 2 less good ones, just to get a scorecard match.

On the one hand... If you've got 9 white guys and 2 black guys, with a spot open. You should probably be hiring a black guy, let's be honest. What if you have two spanking good white women CVs though and one black guy leaves? What if you have 4 black women, 1 black man and 4 white women. Do you have to hire a white guy?

Whichever way you spin it, someone's getting fucked over, in what should be something gained by merit and not by statistical gamble. One to be applied as is deemed necessary, I reckon. Just don't fucking go full Huffpost with it. Never fucking go full Huffpost, yo. Anyone who gets news soley from that so-far-left-it's-in-the-drink-and-gotten-all-wet rag, is probably already indoctrinated into feminist thinking. The Guardian's often just as bad.
implying the minority candidate is always worse than the white male candidate. jesus christ.

Ok, how is it affecting the quality of your life right now? I didn't even know what the whole SJW Gamergate nonsense was until I accidentally clicked on a Youtube video a year after it happened. I'm a gamer just as you are, yet it didn't change anything for me. Are feminists stopping you from playing and enjoying games? Did they force a patch on you that changes every protagonist in your Steam library to a fat, 35-yr old black woman with stretch marks?

If you want to convince us that you're not taking this 5-page thread as seriously as you seem to be, you're going to need more clownboats than that.

And you ain't got no funny. Attempts at skirting the borders of taste, being quite often cringeworthy, in fact :p
You don't look interested or entertained, you look downright disturbed and angry. And no, there's not much of a discussion here, just you coming off as a bitter, misogynistic nerd with a chip on your shoulder while people with normal, healthy social lives look on in pity.

Keep it up :p

Honestly still have no clue what the fuck this entire thread is about - and i read the whole 5 goddamn pages, too. Still... what? How? But most of all why? Why let any of this get to you? Life's too short to get upset about folks on retard magnet, oh excuse me, youtube. Isn't it?

Because, jesus! 5 pages! What!

Hopefully he'll drop this nonsense and go back to playing his anime games featuring cartoon girls in short skirts.

I guess it's too hard to actually refute anything I've posted.
Intellectually dishonest trolling it is then. Carry on, if you so must. :)
If your arguments rose to a level beyond retardation I'm sure I'd feel more compelled to refute you. Ask yourself why everyone in this thread other than red font guy and plained think you're off-base maybe?
