I just want them to stop insulting me and calling me a sexist nerd and perpetrating stereotypes because I enjoy video games. I had enough of that in high school.
Good video that touches on some of the issues: LINK
I don't think anyone in the games journalist/press should be working in the PR/Advertising side and the rest of the press should be seeking those whom do and tell us about it.
Return of an "I Love Mondays" (this week on GB) like show A little less focus on non-game content on the Bombcasts Return of a TNT/Scrub League like show (does not have to be every week/month) Looks into non-game game media (ex: pokemon manga, upcoming halo tv show, archie megaman comic, etc) Endurance runs/Encyclopaedia Bombasticas (weekly or monthly episodes which ever works better for the crew/staff and in relation to the size of the games being covered)
So, a referendum of anonymous individuals. If I threw out a "hey #gamergate people, what's your feeling on this?", what, precisely, is preventing anti-GG people from coming together and responding en masse?
Im sorry i edited my post to slowly to better respond to you.
I guess you would have to look into peoples past twitter activity to see there history on the topic and judge if they are being truthful.
I guess this is kind of the core of all of this for me: in an era of complete online anonymity, nothing can be determined to be true with any certainty. If person X were to send out a "hey, gamergate people, what do you think about women?" tweet and the results were 50% "we totally like ladies and wish they were represented in gaming better!" and 50% "burn the witch!", who decides which responses are authentic or not? If someone has little twitter history, should their opinion be disregarded? Should those opinions be disregarded based on which opinion they advance? If someone is new to Twitter, does their opinion count less than someone who has a thousand posts behind them? If 10,000 new accounts say one thing, should we value those responses more than 100 accounts with significant histories behind them?
Most of these are rhetorical questions. I don't really have good answers for how things are going. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but at the same time it's frustrating to think about this kind of stuff.
...sadly I have no answers for you im sorry... i worry/fear this is the future of dialog online....
What want to believe is you and the rest of the GB crew are good ppl and I want to trust in this site (and its staff/crew).
