Social Justice Weasels

many women oh it's gonna be this isn't it Macintosh alright I'm going to explain some things to you and I want your porky face to listen diesel word is an informal term for words and phrases aimed at creating an impression but a specific and/or meaningful statement has been made when in fact only a vague or ambiguous claim has been communicated enabling the specific meaning to be denied if the statement is challenged this is what you do constantly in this video McIntosh so much I'm actually going to start a counter in which you already have one where you say many women without giving us any kind of quantity or context and I'm going to write these down using them as patriarchal font I can find have courageously spoken out about how they experience alienation and harassment in gaming despite this fact is it's a fact though too many male gamers dismiss the issue as no big deal and insist that there isn't really a problem there is a problem for certain female gamers I suspect they're the sort of female gamers who probably support the concept of doom without guns or a press X to skip combat button I have some bad news for these female gamers I don't care if they find these spaces alienating I just don't give a [ __ ] it's not my problem I know it's callous as [ __ ] isn't it but I really don't give a [ __ ] if they don't like gaming they can just leave that's that's simply how I feel about it and I am in no way abide to provide them with anything that's the great thing about being independent individuals if I don't like someone I don't have to pay attention to them I don't owe them anything and I don't care what your opinion of that is and that's what makes this entire video absolutely hilarious 3 McIntosh you talk as if I should give a [ __ ] about your little [ __ ] guilt trip not interested let's carry on one of the luxuries of being a member of a privileged group is that the benefits afforded to us often remain invisible to us well I tell you what if anyone can be an expert in privileged Macintosh I'm willing to concede that you are one I wish my dad owned a house on an island like this look at all those King y'all's working towards solutions requires that male gamers become aware of the ways in which we unconsciously benefit from sexism I mean you've got a biggest stumbling block in getting me to care about your agenda I don't know whether you'd notice but the results are in there are plenty of women in the video game industry and they're just fine with it just how it is it's you and your little crew of social justice cronies who want to go changing everything and tonight I say go back to Plymouth Rock your [ __ ] Puritans we can't work to fix something unless we first understand its effects which immediately disqualifies you from being able to fix anything with that in mind the following is a checklist of some of the concrete benefits that male gamers automatically receive simply for being men bollocks is anything you say concrete but I'm not really concerned about that Mackintosh unconcerned about your [ __ ] face what is with this expression seriously you look like you're about to cry does your skewed perception of male privilege wound you so deeply that won't male guilt though hey Mackintosh I can choose to remain completely oblivious or indifferent to the harassment that many women face in gaming spaces here absolutely right I don't even think you understand just how deeply my indifference to things can run for example I'm utterly indifferent to your attempt at trying to make me feel bad because maybe somewhere possibly someone might have had something bad happen to them I am never told that video games or the surrounding culture is not intended for me because I am male alright base and man I'm happy to concede that we have in fact time traveled from 2014 back to 1993 I can publicly post my username gamertag or contact information online without having to fear being stalked or sexually harassed because of my gender no one has to fear anything and sexual harassment happens to men not that I would expect you to have experienced it oh not because you're a really really unappealing skinny vegan mangina but because you probably live in San Francisco and I hear that the ladies there are so much more progressive that they wouldn't do such a thing I will never be asked to prove my gaming cred simply because of my gender and neither are women like any hobby with enthusiasts people who come into the Hobby need to demonstrate their knowledge of the Hobby to be able to claim to be enthusiasts it's just the nature of the beast [ __ ] I'm pretty sure the word beast is rape culture I'm so sorry if I enthusiastically express my fondness for video games no one will automatically assume I'm faking my interest just to get attention from other gamers no I'm fairly certain that everyone's gonna be assuming you're doing it to get attention from social justice warriors I can look at practically any gaming website show or magazine and see the voices of people of my own gender widely represented one so [ __ ] was to women don't exactly have a dearth of media and three you freaks are the only people who care so much about identity politics when I go to a gaming event or convention I can be relatively certain that I won't be harassed groped propositioned or cat called by total strangers well now I've seen everything a black social justice warrior but to speak to your point well I'm not surprised lookie here I will never be asked or expected to speak for all other gamers who share my gender this is a stupid point for two reasons one women aren't actually called upon to speak on behalf of their gender women are called upon to speak on behalf of themselves the second point though is that for some reason there are women who would purport to speak on behalf of all women and we call those women feminists I can be sure that my dream and performance good or bad won't be attributed to or reflect on my gender as a whole and that's probably because scientists are still trying to determine what gender you are but even then it isn't that they suck because they're women it's that women suck because they don't practice very often and the ones that do practice very often don't suck it's almost like gender identity doesn't matter to gaming because the game doesn't care my gaming ability will never be called into question based on unrelated natural biological functions I'm actually going to call into question your gaming ability due to natural biological dysfunctions also what is going on with these expressions have you all been [ __ ] drugged I can be relatively sure my thoughts about video games won't be dismissed or attacked based solely on my tone of voice even if I speak an aggressive obnoxious crude or flippant manner bollocks if you pull on the nagging shrewish voice like sarkeesian does you'd be judged on your tone of voice too the only reason you don't is because you know it won't work because you're a man and that sort of [ __ ] doesn't fly when men do it I can openly say that my favorite games are casual odd nonviolent artistic or cute without fear that my opinions will reinforce a stereotype that men are not real gamers listen Johnny smooth cheeks you and I both know you do not have the testosterone to create a moustache that dense not only that it's placed far too low down on your lip but that was just some personal advice to address your point what you don't understand is that you saying these things is going to reinforce the stereotype that social justice warriors are not real gamers and social justice warrior men are [ __ ] pathetic when purchasing most major video games in a store chances are I will not be asked if or assumed to be buying it for a wife daughter or girlfriend let me get this straight not being asked if you're buying a videogame for your wife is a male privilege really scraping the bottom of the barrel here aren't we because my response to this is so [ __ ] wads and your response to that question will no doubt be facile the vast majority of game studios past and present have been led and populated primarily by people of my own gender and as such most of their products have been specifically designed to cater to my demographic a so [ __ ] wats and B most video games are not made by UNIX I can walk into any gaming store and see images of my gender widely represented as powerful heroes dastardly villains and non playable characters alike yeah and when this happens with women feminists [ __ ] about it frankly I'm surprised any developers include women in their games at all it seems like a complete minefield I will almost always have the option to play a character of my gender as most protagonists or heroes will be male by default dude literally no one cares and also you're talking [ __ ] I mean most games don't even have protagonists most games are things like farmville and candy crush and Tetris that if you if you want to just talk the aggregates of games that exist okay you're talking about very specific subset of games that are very specifically aimed at men because the men and the majority of the purchasers of these games so when I tell you that no one gives a [ __ ] I'm actually being serious that nobody absolutely nobody outside of you stupid gender identity politics [ __ ] gives a [ __ ] I do not have to carefully navigate my engagement with online communities or gaming spaces in order to avoid or mitigate the possibility of being harassed because of my gender actually you do you just do it without thinking about it and if you had any sense you'd have said sexually harassed because then you would have had a better point and I wouldn't be able to simply throw up the evidence that men are actually harassed online more than women to tell you to get your [ __ ] facts straight I probably never think about hiding my real life gender online through my gamer name my avatar choice or by muting voice chat fear of harassment resulting from my being male probably not thinking about things is hardly a privilege and it's self-evident you also didn't think about the benefits of making yourself appear to be a girl online this is actually a friend of Mines old Facebook picture which he then changed back to himself because he was interested in a lady when I enter an online game I can be relatively sure I won't be attacked or harassed if and when my real-life gender is made public so can women by exactly the same wishy-washy standards if I am trash-talked or verbally berated while playing online it will not be because I am male nor will my gender be invoked as an insult no be a sexual orientation certainly will be a queer Lord while playing online with people I don't know I won't be interrogated about the size and shape of my realized body parts nor will I be pressured to share intimate details about my sex life for the pleasure of other players implying that you have a sex life but I'm happy to agree to this you actually you are completely right other men don't generally try to get sexual with other men I'm afraid being attractive to men is simply a cross that women are going to have to bear complete strangers generally do not send me unsolicited images at our genitalia or demand to see me naked on the basis of being a male gamer Sonique so done how's your email address in multiplayer games I can be pretty sure that conversations between other players will not focus on speculation about my attractiveness or sexual availability in real life I have some bad news for you that's not because you're male if I choose to point out sexism in gaming my observations will not be seen as self-serving and will therefore be perceived as more credible and worthy of respect than those of my female counterparts sorry did you just say base mangina pointing out sexism in games isn't self-serving that's insanely self-serving it's your only [ __ ] mating strategy and also when you say something it is a lot less credible than when anyone else says it I would think it more credible if a child had said it because it was created by a straight white man this checklist will likely be taken more seriously than if it had been written by virtually any you know gamer let's be honest with ourselves hey shall we gentlemen this list was created by a bunch of asexuals I'm not suggesting that you guys are pixie Jenny's harem by consent these benefits should not be reserved for men this list is not meant to suggest that male gamers are always treated well sometimes we are bullied or subjected to online nastiness but it's not based on or because of our gender oh I disagree any online nastiness you guys are gonna get is entirely because you're male and because you're such [ __ ] self-serving pussy-whipped [ __ ] who lack any sense of self-respect and are enabled see yourselves as sovereign individuals who should place their own dignity above obsequious Ness to women

Fucking GamerGate. I'm starting to hear "men are obligated to include women and create safe spaces for women in which men are unwelcome."

[u/stevema1991]

lost it at "i can be relatively sure my thoughts about video games won't be dismissed or attacked based solely on my tone of voice, even if i speak in an aggressive, obnoxious, crude, or (? have hearing loss can't discern) manner"

cause no one ever makes fun of the little fuckheads who yell and swear in the games voice functions... that never happens, nor have we ever dismissed fan bases of games for their unnaturally huge collection of said individuals.

[u/Ragekritz]

I agree mostly. Though the personal attacks don't always help.

On an unrelated note this sort of gamegate thing is getting annoying to talk about with a few friends of mine. They tell me they agree but to be careful about where and when I say it. They're worried people will mistake us for terrible people. I suppose having freedom of speech also means having the freedom to not talk as well eh?

[u/DaSGuardians]

He makes some good points, but a lot of his retorts are just boring personal attacks that sound a lot like, well, vidya trash talk. It's not a very good method of argument, especially when it's used to replace actual points that could be made.

[u/WirsindApfel]

I can vouch for the point he made about his friend switching they're picture with a female, and getting gifts because of it. I play WoW, and, for the most part, I have male tools. This isn't because I dislike playing as a female (which I some times prefer doing, actually), but more so out of pure chance. When my friend's game time ran out, me and her downloaded a private server to play on. I ended up making a female toon. I hardly ever play as a female, on multi-player online games, so I wasn't expecting to get showered with over 1000 gold, within the first half hour of playing, by total strangers. My friend ended up calling the 3 or 4 people who friended and kind of stalked me my sugar daddies, which I had a laugh about. All in all, it worked out surprisingly well (for me), because I got rich, and all I had to do was deal with some slight creepers.

TL;DR: I became a gold digger, on a WoW private server. 10/10, would do it again.

Edits: fixed auto correct' stupidity.

This guy is a total asshole, and I don't agree with all that he said, but he's funny so whatever.
