I'm sorry SJWs. (self.KotakuInAction)

StickAroundDylan が 投稿

Hey SJWs. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the pain you feel and the fact that you feel you don't belong. I'm sorry about the people who denigrated you and threw you under the bus.

It wasn't right.

But that happened to me too. I got beat bullied and hurt. At home, at school, and everywhere else. Lots of crappy things. It happened. And there's nothing I can do about it unfortunately.

I can't go back in time. I can't fix it. I can't change it. The only things I can do is make my life better, now.

And now is all I have. I can try to fight it, but honestly it's not my fault and there's nothing that makes sense to fix. I have to get over it. Life is way too goddamn short.

The real problem is if I try to fix it, I wreck everything normal. And honestly the only thing I want now is normal. And so do you. You and I both know it's true. Look into your heart.

You can't right the wrongs of the past. What you can do is start to make things better. Make things right for yourself. Starting now.

Because all you're doing now is hurting people. You're making victims of people who don't deserve it, to lash out at the people who did in your past.

Video-games are fun but also a form of escapism for both normal people AND people who were hurt. Like me. And just like you. Some of us just want to feel like heroes sometimes. I know I do. I like to feel like a hero. But with the incessant shaming I can't.

There's 50,000 people here saying in no small way that you need to calm the fuck down. And I don't apologize for saying it.

I don't speak for everyone but I'm sure, positive in fact, that a good portion of us feel better after beating up the bad guys and saving the princess.

And despite that, you're trying to make villains out of us.

We're not the enemy. In fact, if and when you take care of us, we'd die to take care of you.

I hope you wake up. We'll still be here tomorrow fighting for what we think is right. Well I can't speak for everyone but I know I will.

Look do me a favor. Stop blaming me. And not even for me. Do it for you. Because it's not my fault. It happened to me too. Do it for you because if you don't, you'll be miserable forever. Fighting people who were never your enemies to begin with.

Good night and take care.

I'm not sorry. We don't turn on others and bully them, and they have the nerve to call us "the problem".

I don't know where they'll feel accepted. I don't care. But it's not gaming. They can walk.

[–]Loftyz47 41ポイント42ポイント  (7子コメント)

I don't feel the need for gaming to be 'inclusive'. It's not inclusive or exclusive, it just exists, like real life. If you were to die today, society would continue without you, as if you were never needed in the first place, and gaming is the same.

If you don't feel welcomed, consider what you are bringing to the table. I made 5 MKWii clans over 4 years & played hundreds of competitive clan wars, and had no trouble fitting in. I don't see it as a problem if people who bring nothing to the community have trouble fitting in. I just don't care. Don't feel entitled to a space; earn it or make it yourself. Git gud, make videos, join discussions, speedrun, organise events, or join/start a clan ffs.

Accomplish things, in gaming and real life, and if your sudden or eventual departure would make at least 1 person in that community stop and mourn, that's how you know you belonged.

Too triggering, this post.

[–]Loftyz47 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

I don't expect people whose lives are consumed by escapism from their trauma - through safe spaces, trigger warnings, & repressive tolerance - to agree with me. These are not coping mechanisms; all they do is turn the "triggering" issue into an elephant in the room whom you ignore, even while he weighs down on your shoulders and slowly crushes you.

I've felt this for a long time. There is no real need to make gaming more "inclusive". I didn't start playing games because it was inclusive. I just started playing. Most people who play games didn't join because it was inclusive. They just started playing.

In the immortal words of Nahtzee, "If the process of playing a game isn't fun for you, well maybe you're not a gamer".

[–]Agkistro13 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Inclusiveness is bullshit anyway. It's not like the SJW's are pushing for games that celebrate the culture of the rural American south, or openly-Christian protagonists, or games that take place in times and places where everybody was white. They got a very specific list of who should be included and what should be promoted, and who should be shit on at every opportunity.

I feel you. A lot of us are in the same boat here. That's why I'm hoping they realize it too.

[–]AngryArmour 81ポイント82ポイント  (7子コメント)

Here's the thing, far too many of them aren't your peers. They are not the ones who were bullied, they were the bullies, and what they seek is not a safe space from bullying, but to continue bullying.

Now, you found refuge among games. You found a place you could hide from your bullies (I'm assuming from your post). How do you think your bullies would have reacted if they found a way to reach you even there? To ensure that you had no escapism, no way to avoid them, but had to be under their thumb 24/7? Because that's their goal.

Gaming was built by the outcasts and the maligned, and goddamn did we build it. It's a fucking major industry because of us, and now the bullies want in. Now it's cool, now it's hip, and that means that everything we built is no longer acceptable. "Gaming has to change", "Gaming has to grow up", "Gaming is sick and we are the cure", that is what they say about escapism. That is what they say about the subculture we built ourselves, because we weren't wanted elsewhere.

We were thrown out, but we didn't take the punishment lying down. We didn't demand "safespaces", we built safespaces. We made our safespace a multi-billion industry. And it is those safespaces they want to tear down.

While I also emphasize with those among the SJWs who are that way because they felt like they didn't belong anywhere else, I want to make one thing very clear. AntiGG does not support the bullied. Remember two quotes, and remember them well, because they form a fundamental core of what GG is about:

"Ultimately #GamerGate is reaffirming what we’ve known to be true for decades: nerds should be constantly shamed and degraded into submission" and "Bring back bullying".

That is the face of AntiGG. AntiGG is an effort to take away the safe space nerds built. That is why we need to fight. That is why for as much as I want rational discourse and peaceful resolution, Sam Biddle is a fucking cancerous growth. For as much I emphasize with a desire for everyone to just get along, I will celebrate the day Sam Biddle dies unmourned and unloved to drug overdose because he became a junkie to escape his homelessness.

It is human to have flaws, and one flaw on my part I'm both willing to admit and accept, is that I will be giddy with joy should Sam Biddle life fall into the utmost of tatters. Because he deserves it. AntiGG is not fellow bullied who want to progress beyond it and create a world without it, they are bullied who never got over the power rush they got from bullying, or bullied who want to join the cool kids and become the bullies now.

Fuck them, fuck them long and fuck them hard, because GG is here, and it's here's to throw them out of gaming, and if being thrown out of indie games and journalism ruins their life because they've lost their jobs, well that's just a bonus.

[–]nopeer_ 12ポイント13ポイント  (0子コメント)

or bullied who want to join the cool kids

I think this is the nail on the head.

[–]Karmaze 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Just to add on to this.

A lot of the lack of knowing about this issue stems from a fundamental limitation on what we think bullying is. When we think of bullying, we traditionally think of the Nelson Muntz type character, you know, the person who takes out their frustrations of their own problems on other people.

That's not the only type of bullying however.

What we're learning to look more for these days is what is called social bullying. And that's a completely different animal altogether. First of all, it's generally done by a group or even a community. And the people who do it tend to be personally well off. They're happy and successful, for the most part. So why do they do it?

They're enforcing social/cultural norms. They're taking people that for one reason or another are violating those norms, and they're using social pressure in order to get them to step back in line. That's what social bullying is. And yes, kids KILL themselves because of it. When you see that happen in one of these cases, I will guarantee you it's not individual bullying it's social bullying. If it's individual bullying, you go to the administration, the bully might get suspended or expelled, as generally the victim has more social power than the perpetrator.

But in social bullying...

Yes, the perpetrators have MUCH more social power than the victim. So nothing really can be done...in fact what often happens is that the administration is part of the problem, part of the bullying.

Now many of you probably have figured it out...SJW culture relies on social bullying. It's about using social pressure/violence in order to enforce what they see as social/cultural norms, or at least what should be the norms.

So yeah. It's the same thing, just a different flavor.

Exactly.

These people don't realize the error of their ways. Worse even, they feel abnormally self-righteous about it which is the reason why they actually feel good doing the vile things they do. They have no problem kicking someone while down. In fact, it seems like a favorite pastime of theirs.

Religious fanatics they are.

Stop. Stop trying to appease the the bully. It never works. The only way to stop a bully is to stand up to him.

And these people, most definetly, are the bullies. They haven't been "oppressed" their whole lives, they've probably lived in their fucking two story America suburb houses, buying fancy shit with daddy and mommy's money. They didn't get bullied in school, even if they did, they probably told everyone the bully raped them, and he ended up in fucking prison.

I don't feel a fucking whit of sympathy for SJW's.

I've been bullied for an upward of 12 years, to the point where I was genuinely ashamed to show my face in my own fucking home, but I never, and I do mean never took out my personal feelings on ANYONE else.

I don't fucking care how "institutionally oppressed" these people feel, that's no fucking excuse for the way they behave. You don't fucking release someones private information and accuse them of harassment simply for disagreeing with you about cleavage in video games. The fact that SJW's genuinely need this explained to them makes them repugnant enough.

And let's take a look at the type of people we have on the SJW side of things.

"H-hey everyone. If you see any child porn on 8chan, let me know. It's totally to prove GamerGate are evil. It's not for me at all." heavy nervous laughter

"Hey, so I find it so fucking frustrating my dog won't remain erect while I'm blowing him. Tips? Tricks? GamerGate is harrasing me 24/7."

"Hold on for a second, I've just gotta go infantalize myself infront of congress after getting caught psychologically abusing my boyfriend and fucking to further my career.

Forgive me for /pol/ing out here. But they're fucking degenerates

[–]nonplayer 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

If my House of Cards marathon taught me anything (lol, sorry), is that its all about money and power. You guys need to stop putting everything on a personal level, like sjw are evil people who woke up someday thinking how they are going to upset people today, or that they really need to play a game with fat people where no one shoots no one and you win by donating blood. Come on, lets be smart here.

Its money. Kotaku, anita, zoe, that one guy, all these pink haired people, its all about making money and being on top of the "moral compass". All those patreon accounts arent for nothing. Fight the good fight, but dont lose your sleep over these things.

SJWs spend too much time and energy living vicariously through other people's real (or imagined) past injustices and hardships. If there are no actual issues, they will manufacture one and sit there crying about it, because growing up and operating in the world like a mature adult scares the shit out of them.

I read through an article gghazi posted about "Video Games Are Utterly Failing Trans Gamers & It’s Time We Did Something About It." 90% of the article basically boils down to this:

THERE AIN'T ENOUGH TRANS IN VIDEO GAMES

I MEAN, REALLY, THERE AINT ENOUGH TRANS IN VIDEO GAMES

DUDE

DUDE

WHAT THE FUCK, DUDE

THERE AIN'T ENOUGH TRANS IN VIDEO GAMES, DUDE COME ON

CORAL

And then at the very end they get to what I assume is the "It’s Time We Did Something About It" part, and this is all it pretty much boiled down to:

*W-well we...we kinda just...g-gotta start putting more trans in video games...or somethin'"

...While listing a bunch of stuff that I guess they expected other people to drop everything and do for them. Some developers will, some will not. Since it has been made abundantly clear that will never be adequate enough, why not then step up and make those moves themselves if they think there is such a deficit? It always comes back to coattail-riding established entities rather than doing the work and building new ones from the ground up. And it's always about trying to shame and shit all over any established entity if they do not wish to let you ride their coattails. It's about constantly wording things like "You're a shitlord company filled with white CISHET shitlord devlopers who doesn't care about us...now listen to what we have to say ;3" and honestly expecting those people to want to fucking work with you after that.

These SJWs aren't ones who were ever bullied. They are just political activists and opportunists who latched on various subcultures back when gamers and comic geeks and the like fought against right-wing establishment and censorship. Ever since the Republicans lost the US presidency and the right-wing lost their battles against gaming, those who latched on decided they would push their own rules onto these subcultures and flush out the undesirables.

Hey SJWs,

I'm not sorry. For anything. You are as important to me as a fat stack of bison dollars in the USA. I don't care about you being accepted or your safe spaces. I don't care about your salty tears or childish tantrums. I don't care about your triggers or your inability to fit in general society. I don't care about your sad past. I don't care about YOU.

The thing I do care about is gaming, and that means opposing you full Steam ahead.

See you on the trenches.
