Shout them down in every space, make them embarrased to think the stupid shit they think.

If we don't embarrass and correct them now we will have to kill them later when they come for our friends and families.

I guess we can let them keep Tesla...

Yeah don't let them have the swastika either.

Wait… I'm hearing it's too late for that. Damn.

They can have a video game, but only this one puts down a copy of Superman 64

Will forever hate them for trying to take Pepe the Frog.

I'm just relieved they didn't succeed for long

This is why gatekeeping is actually important. But you've got to be sure you're keeping out the people who want to change the group, rather than people who want to join it.

I’ve read all the comments here and I’ve concluded that we don’t really have an effective way for dealing with this problem, although we all recognise the problem.

I will forever curse Milo Snuffaluffagus or whatever his name was for Gamergate.

Especially since incompetent Games Jouranlism is and has been a problem for a long time, and now nothing will be done about it because any attempt to reform or shake up the industry is poisoned by the spectre of that bigoted sham.

Would you find comfort, or discomfort if i told you I've been a "gamer" since 1984, and I'm still not fully clear in wtf gamergate was?

I'm aware it involved journalists and devs. The adhd kinda prevented anything beyond that.

norse mythology: the bisexual dude who has a meathead son and an adopted genderfluid kid. doesn't go anywhere without his horse-grandson. knows everything will go wrong when they get a dog.

Plus they associate war with masculinity and magic with femininity, and their main guy is the god of both. Women fought and men learned magic. Clearly gender was a pretty flexibly concept. (Not to even mention that we found what appears to be trans masc viking burials.)

I didn't know that about the trans-masc viking burials! I had been wondering which ancient cultures had explicit evidence of trans guys.

What buried site was that?

They already killed hip-hop.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago (8 children)

Could you elaborate on this? I mean there's Kanye obviously, but "killing hip hop" is a strong statement considering he fell off years ago.
