It's a mistake to think of it as "sides" rather than a small group of people with a persecution complex, and everyone else wishing they'd broaden their perspective a bit.
- Zikes 11y agoWhat's hilarious about this whole thing is that I have no idea which "side" you are on by your comment. I've seen this exact sentiment expressed about SXSW's decision on both /r/KiA and /r/GamerGhazi.
- chiaro 11y agoHaha. But really, it's hard for that group to claim to be the silent, persecuted majority when nearly every major figure in the industry who has spoken about it and nearly every news outlet that has covered it has completely condemned it. The "movement" has even been placeholder villains on Law and Order SVU, and if that isn't the gold standard for general cultural sentiment, I don't know what is.
- MBCook 11y agoI was going to downvote you for just copy and pasting then I realized you were right. The other side could easily misconstrue things and paint my side that way. I'm not convinced about the reverse, but that may be because I'm on my side. People can go pretty far to rationalize things.
- dbg31415 11y agoNo it really is sides. There are people who enjoy playing video games, and laughing at life. Then there are the SJWs out to shit on every game, and tell you that you're an asshole for laughing at anything. Very clear lines drawn by the second group. The first group generally couldn't care less... it's just when the second group causes there to be more censorship or causes a game to be delayed because they don't want their little feels hurt that the first group takes offense.
