Looking back Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian & Co. was right.

Reevaluating our values as responsible gamers

It's difficult to look back on how male gamers reacted to the whole ordeal without cringing hard. In hindsight they were right about the level of toxicity in male dominated gaming culture.

But we have grown as gamers and we have grown as males. And we are now finally able to understand women's criticism of our favorite hobby.
We have matured and we are ready to improve, act better and be better.
On the behalf of so many gamers we should all admit that we were in the wrong and that we were privileged. Ignorant and privileged.

The year is 2023. The whole videogame industry has changed marketing and changed how we play a videgames. Changed gaming into something better.
Gone are the days of only male dominated voices and exclusion (a remnant of the 1980s and 1990s) good riddance.


Women, queer and non-binary gamers and developers are raising their voices and demanding change. And we are all better for it.
A big big sorry and a heartfelt apology from all of us male gamers to all of you who suffered from our exclusionary childish behavior (I always kept it real tho).

Looking forward to a happy future where all gamers are accepted for who they are and for new progressive opinionated voices on how the gaming industry should be improved.

We Are All One Big Gaming Family These Days. Thank you for changing your ways.


Peace

Anita went into a beloved industry, almost sacred, at a time where AAA gaming was at it's weakest and starting to crumble, and took a hammer to the tableware. A real demon of her time, wicked as can be.

There's been times where I was right about something, but went about it the wrong way and caused a lot of unrest. Worse yet were the times where I was wrong, and did damage in vain.

Anita embodies the destruction of media, something she never cared for. Good riddance, a thief and a fool, warped and tainted gaming as bad as the Aztec calendar.

What are you on about?
Please elaborate.

Anita is old, no one cares now, telling about what it really was, but simp on friend, simp on!

I mean back in the days I would not even have been able to sport this bad ass animated avatar of a tough empowered black woman without being harrassed.
Remember.. That is how bad things were ! :cupdown:

What ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sites did you frequent? I never knew anyone getting grief unless it was some loli-assed stuff.

She dragged the industry back into the dark ages, back mature themes weren't allowed in a mature world, way back to the Joseph Lieberman days, except instead of turning children into sadists, you're turning grown men into misogynists.

She has quite the history, a whole binder of it. I can't remember all of it, nor want to. It's old news, but not celebrated.

doubtful.

Anita is still producing content, she has a documentary in the works, and her website Feminist Frequency, has a popular Gamer Hotline where you can get support when you are being targeted by hate online.

Anita contributed greatly to the video game discourse and has made the gaming space better overall.

Mild enough for youtube is all that is allowed.

Anita grew up as well, and maybe she didn't want a family? So I don't understand your point. Are you gatekeeping lifestyles?

If I were to grade this as an essay, I would scrawl in red pen at the end, "Okay, but why?"

You don't speak for all of us so don't act like you do, I do not agree to this forced apology for actions I never took part in and as such don't expect future acceptance on the attempt.
