Forum Overview :: Rants :: Leigh Alexander's retort to Gamergate is that the real scandal is VG's & gun cos

[quote name="WITTGENSTEIN"]I'll quote it since you're being deliberately obtuse. Here's the top two headlines on her whiney screed. [quote]Video games are used to covertly advance the political agendas of arms manufacturers. The aggressive marketing of capitalist war games is an inspiration to the U.S. military, which could take a page out of games marketing’s book in order to push unpopular ideas on the public.[/quote] So in Leigh Alexander's opinion the TOP TWO pressing things in gaming that are of ethical concern to her are A. That video games make you more likely to support the 2nd amendment or go buy a firearm. GUNS = BAD FOLKS. AM I RITE? and B. That the US Army develops things like America's Army. Because as we all know if you're a somewhat overweight curly haired hipster cunt, the US Army is what's wrong with the world today, rather than, you know, a bunch of loser kids joining ISIS and fighting for barbarism and female genital mutilation. Combine this with Anita Sarkeesian's attempt to frame her decision not to appear at Utah State University as because they won't take away people's right under the law to open carry firearms, and cracks start appearing in their agenda pretty fast.
