Forum Overview :: Gamergate :: It shapes your attitudes

[quote name="Vested Id"][quote name="Souffle of Pain"]In the late 90s we all agreed that violence in video game doesn't REALLY mess you up. Someone explain to me how misogyny in games, though.... well that CAN mess you up. You explain that to me successfully and I'll never think another bad thought against a Sarkeesian type.[/quote] This is equivalent to asking "How do I explain homosexuality to my kid?" In the 90s, you had a freshman senator exploiting a moral crisis on the one hand, and EGM letters to the editor scoffing that Mortal Kombat won't make you rip out your sister's spine on the other. I don't think it was much of a moment for anybody but people in the industry.[/quote]
