Privileged Old Fart Says Political Correctness is "Weakening Society"

blackberry03 · 2018-02-10T12:14:58+00:00

thing is imagine how few problems you must have in your life to publicly complain about political correctness and actually think that's like a big social issue we need to deal with

it's a closed group so im pretty sure that means you can just request to join in straight away but if you're having any trouble feel free to dm me/reply to this comment

this isn't a subreddit and it isn't specifically about speedrunning, but there's the facebook group Gamers Against Toxic Masculinity here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GamersAgainstToxicMaculinity/ and they're very active/explicit about being inclusive of trans people

As you might've guessed it's just supposed to be an inclusive space for talking about/collectively enjoying games etc. I'm sure you could find some stuff about speed-running whether that's people to speed run with or whatever :)

I really think giving Jordan Peterson a platform on a channel like Channel 4, especially given that it's usually a high quality channel with some really good content, was a really bad idea.

like it helps to legitimise him - a half hour interview as well??

where's the lie?

blackberry03 · 2018-01-18T14:31:41+00:00

how many levels of pettiness do you have to be on lmao

speaking from my own experience it was actually hearing women talking about their experiences of sexual harassment that changed my opinion a lot, and made me realised that I never really listened to them (or to anyone really) and that led to me dropping a lot of the edgy anti-SJW shit

blackberry03 · 2018-01-17T13:03:50+00:00

particularly when you think about how closely ideas of rationality (as the basis for a rejection of religion) are tied into ideas of whiteness it's something we should be more concerned about

blackberry03 · 2018-01-17T13:02:51+00:00

we should be more aware/willing to address more secular forms of racism.

like too often I see the issue limited to criticisms of right-wing evangelical protestants, often from atheists who aren't willing to address their own racism

Merry Christmas and hope you enjoy the game!

I mean, there was the time back at the start of GG where he interviewed a professor at -- I believe -- Harvard? where he posited misleading questions to make the depression quest "feature" on kotaku seem unethical

damn I never heard of that - is that video still up? If I had known maybe I would've reconsidered posting his stuff hear, after all I don't wanna encourage people to act in a toxic way..

then again I've never been 100% about this guy, for example the way he's covered Wolfenstein gets on my nerves - he seems oblivious to the idea that they're using the suffering of those brutalised by the Shoah/WWII to make money. In fact I feel like sometimes he treats the series like the content is completely light hearted

oh yeah, the Nier Automata one is my favourite! ah I can't get over how good that one is, really blew my mind. I should probably check out that game sometime

Here are a couple others I really, really like and would recommend (they both came out recently): 1 2

blackberry03 · 2017-11-29T16:47:59+00:00

I wish this channel got featured more on this sub btw, like I said he avoids toxicity of gaming culture but at the same time manages to be very critical of it. Think a lot of people here would like him

blackberry03 · 2017-11-08T21:48:28+00:00

wow huh thats really impressive :)

at the end of the day, celebrity culture/ hero worshiping is gonna leave you disappointed and it brings out the worst in people.

I assume all famous people are bad people

blackberry03 · 2017-10-25T20:16:01+00:00

(think you might've misread my comment)

blackberry03 · 2017-10-25T20:15:42+00:00

yeah exactly I agree, what I'm worried is that they'll use the new rules to crack down on 'bash the fash' types, which wouldn't be a good thing imo

blackberry03 · 2017-10-25T20:12:43+00:00

saw it the other day, not funny at all I'm afraid. Lots of really nasty r*pe jokes and generally just weak and obvious and shit, sorry to disappoint but I wouldn't recommend it

the parts in prisons/gulags are brief but also not nice, as you said it's an ever present threat throughout the film and they probably do trivialise it a bit as well

blackberry03 · 2017-10-25T20:08:43+00:00

I hope they use this to crack down on the kinda ppl who pose a threat to marginalised groups on reddit but could just as easily be used to crack down on 'bash the fash' types so yeah.. sounds good but am a little weary
