Total Biscuit - Why you shouldn't be excited - A look at games media's role in hype. Thanks Ant via HARDOCP.
TotalBiscuit brings you a discussion video on the games media's involvement in hype campaigns for unreleased or in-development titles and the negative impact it has on the industry.Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Videogames Are For Everybody. Thanks nin.
There has been criticism, too, which has resulted in gamers claiming that we hate them. We don’t hate gamers. We are gamers. Numerous (often offensive and widely incoherent) attempts to provoke controversy and scandal about the relationship between game developers and the games press have resulted in some people saying that RPS should be destroyed. Perhaps unsurprisingly, we disagree with that proposition, and we’ll explain why we disagree in this article.

What are you even talking about?The trend around here of stereotyping anyone with an opinion that even remotely sways from the white male dominated society we live in... really just makes you look ignorant.
That's what I said. Are you... denying the fact that we live in a white male dominated society? I really don't understand what your beef is with that sentence, other than that you saw the words "white male" and your brain glazed over. Do you think "you" refers to you? Or are you feeling guilty that it might? I don't get it.

Verno... How can you have 15k posts here and not know that there is a threaded view to these discussions?And I can safely assume you don't care about any of that since your mention of a "white male dominated society", a typical deflection term used by ignorant cowards.
This is the response I get from my OP (which was directed at exactly no one in this thread), and I'm the one bullying here.

I purposely started a new thread and did NOT respond to anyone else so that context was NOT an issue. A thread which he decided to respond to in an extremely hypocritical and ironic way.
Am I the only one that sees how anyone that defends equality or feminism AROUND HERE (i'm not talking about this gamergate nonsense, I'm talking about the uncivil way people converse on THIS website) is blanket-dismissed as "just another SJW who obviously is lying about even caring about the topic at hand"?

I'm not trying to convince anyone. I'm trying to understand why you seem to care so much.
Bully much? Get over yourself.
the hypocrites who routinely hide behind it to bully those with differing opinions
