Gamergate Triggerhappy: Videogames, always videogames
A few days ago, a group of black people kidnaped a guy with special needs, tortured him, threatened him with a knife, made him to drink toilet water, hited him repeatedly, made him to crawl at their feet, and many other stuff, all while they shouted “fuck white people” and “fuck donald trump”. The mainstream media is struggling hard to find out what could possibly be the motivation behind their actions, and it seems TIME magazine has finally found it….videogames. Of course, it’s always videogames…
This case is creating a lot of controversy and i would say that little of it is because of the actions of the black people itself. Some people are saying the black gus are from Black lives matter, but i haven’t seen any evidence of that, and even if they are, 4 people are not representative of a movement (it’s a different thing when they go out by the hundreds to riot and cry “we want dead cops”). The problem with this case is the media. Because it’s absolutely undeniable that this guys where racially and politically motivated to do what they did, yet the mainstream media is doing every possible effort to convince us that they had completelly different motivations to do it… like playing videogames… because there are a lot of videogames that make you torture white people because they’re white…
You see this is one of the reasons why i define myself as a leftist who dislike leftists. My ideas are mostly on the left, but then i see the left media so blatantly lying, trying so hard to hide empirical data, and people on the left playing willful ignorance to avoid acknowledging what happened there… the truth is important even if you don’t like it, and if you think that you’re hidding it to protect minorities, then think again, because it’s precisely the act of you trying to hide an evident truth what makes people take a hostile reaction; it’s this kind of stuff what creates a backlash and makes people go more into the right, because even if they’re leftist, they feel that the left is playing against them. Because everyone knows what would have been the media reaction if the races where reversed.

What i find interesting is how much people are outraged about this but this outrage was missing when it happened in reverse. (White high school football players in Idaho charged with sexually assaulting black, disabled teammate with a coat hanger) In spite of yelling racial slurs at him and abusing him. They pled out with with a minor charge and no time served. Yet no outrage. That’s the really interesting story.
I have heard of that story and i live in Spain, so i wouldn’t say there was no outrage.
People were outraged at that too. The difference was that it was not broadcast live on the internet.
There was outrage but not at this level. That story nearly suffered the same fate of being totally obscure the difference was how the news was spread and that the sentence was placed by the time people found out.
Must learned of it because the judge said the same thing the media was saying now. “No evidence of racial motivation. Not really sexual assault. Oh the guy wasn’t kicking at him he was kicking near him and mistakenly kicked him.” Total bull and a serious miscarriage of justice. If people were more aware ahead of time they’d have reacted mostly the same (or so my faith in humanity leads me to believe).
There was outrage, but since there was almost nobody defending this or misrepresenting this, it doesn’t get to reach as far. Things with two sides always reach further than onesided things, which is also why the Ghostbusters reboot got so much hate for so long, because there was an opposition that defended that movie. This is what explains the different amount of outrage.
So hey, I gotta be obligated to ask this, but… are you a time traveler?
