GG Triggerhappy: Gamer entitlement
I’m not a fan of Diablo so it’s not as if i followed this story closelly, and it also happened while i was at a convention, but there are a couple good articles about it out there, like this one. TL;DR, Blizzard kinda hyped a new game announcement that hinted at been from the Diablo franchise, so fans where hyped for either Diablo 4 or a PC spinoff, but at the last moment, and worst possible one, at the blizzcon, they revealed it was gonna be Diablo immortal, a movile game that would be developed by NetEase, a chinese company of the kind that do bad gatcha games, full of microtransactions. In fact it seems that the game is just a reskin of an existing game. Fans where obviously not happy, said it so, and the answer from Blizzard was “don’t you have a phone”, while the game journalists, as always, sided with the big corporation and blamed everything on gamer entitlement, white male privilege and sexism. Because why not.

Tbf NPC games journalists were always going blame gamers’ entitlement and toxic masculinity. Anything else isn’t in their script.
-So, what can I do for you, you incredibly nice customer?
-Thank you! I`d like a game jornalism, like, this opinion-free
-Okay, coming right up!
-What do I owe you?
-Nothing! It`s included in jornal`s cost.
-Ah! Included!? HEY! IT`S BLAMING THE GAMERS!
-What did you expect? Adequacy?
Honestly I’d be fine with the second panel…
Will you make a comic about Valkyria Chronicles 4?
Here the article: https://www.vg247.com/2018/09/25/valkyria-chronicles-4-sexual-harassment-problem/
I got cancer from reading that.
Thanks. XD
That’s months old
Do you think that it depends on the genre of game, whether or not you have privilege.
I saw a video of a girl who plays Rainbow Six Siege (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL0aVqVslSE) and when she turned on her microphone and revealed she was a girl, the guys started throwing comments at her. Somtimes they made jokes that made her laugh, but allot of times they made sexist comments to her. Do you think that the difference is the game genre or is she overreacting? I wouldn’t say she is overreacting, they made some really fucked up comments to her.
I would say that there is male-gamer privilege and female-gamer privilege, depending on the game and the genre.
Watched a few of the video and the only legitimatelly sexist thing i heard was a 10 yo telling her that was a game for boys. The other people are either making comments unrelated to her sex, or simply showing surprise a girl is playing a genre that has only 1% of girl gamers, and even the ones who make sexist comments seem to be simply trashtalking; the language they use “things like “grill”) are clear references to todays culture war. They’re probably acting that way preciselly because it’s the stereotype that feminism wants them to be. I do that stuff when i play Lol with friends; we start to tell each other savage comments and call each other sexists, as part of a recurrent joke about the stereotype.
Hadn’t this culture war started you wouldn’t even have those jokes.
She made 8 of those videos, and they get more messed up, but I think your right. Feminists try to paint male gamers as sexist and racist and then the guys will actually start acting like that, even though they don’t believe in it.
Guys also get trashtalked in videogames after all.
It’s pretty impressive how bad feminists influence games. They litterally cause the problem, but aren’t even aware that they did and then they just call male-gamers sexist. Its the same way that feminists don’t even realise that they are part of the reason Trump won, because people who where sick of political correction wanted to anger them by voting for Trump and wearing Trump hats in front of angry SJW’s.
Its always someone elses fault.
