Gaming even if it's becoming more accepted, is still the main hobby that keeps people from going outside. It's still the hobby where on average there are less IRL social interactions. Both of which btw are 100% fine, I do not mean to imply for a second that being a gamer is somehow wrong or unhealthy and needs to chance. Hell a better way to word it may simply be "Gamer's are the most likely to be Introverts".What do Extroverts constantly do in reaction to Introverts? Not connect or relate as well, people who feel a massive need to get outside, interact with human beings etc. Setting up Introvert's as something a bit alien, and once seen as something outside/different it becomes easier for Introverts to be looked down upon. This is easily seen in examples such as:-In School's it's always the Extroverted Popular kids who more people like. That School Staff and Majority of Teachers treat favorably and look the other way for most often.-Extrovert's always being deemed as the "Developmentally Healthy" individual/mindset, and the Introvert being painted as "Developmentally flawed or lacking".And once you society as degraded them in such a way, it becomes easily to make them the scapegoat. Make them the sub-group to be hated upon, controlling that hatred to fuel another,selfish agendaIt's this, in Combination with "New Things scare society" is what I believe has allowed the 'Gamers are Violent/Entitled/Sexist' claims to stay alive for so long. Hell most of the claims about violence, entitlement or being sexist can be more easily (and accurately) made in regards to something such as sports. But it never happens, cause that isn't a group of people that society has decided it can look down on, but rather something they openly accept and identify with.

I've got to get going, my firstday at my new job starts in 1 hour. (9:30 Pm to 6:00 AM), so I don't have time to address your post as I'd like to. When I get back from work, I'll respond - But I want to say I agree with you 100 ℅ and simply want to add to several points you made.

Well, this might be bullshit, but apparently, a game journalist who wished to remain anonymous contacted /v/'s Facebook page Corruption in Video Game Journalism told them that Operation Disrespectful Nod (a letter writing campaign where people send all the collected information about the censorship and such to the advertisers of gaming news sites) is working, and places like Kotaku, The Escapist, and other such 'Gaming Journalist' websites are currently having their advertisers breathing down their neck about this, causing the recent "ALL GAMERS ARE SEXIST, GAMERS ARE DEAD, WHY GAMERS AREN'T IMPORTANT ANYMORE, and GAMERS ARE UNNECESSARY" type articles to be written in a bizzare attempt to somehow make gamers no longer be the ones who play video games (wut).

The funny thing is, gamers have been seen as freaks/outcasts since the 90s, and now that gaming is 100℅ mainstream, the same people who acted like gamers were the second coming of the nerdy, neckbearded D&D nerds are now trying to take over the gaming culture while forcing gamers back into the shadows.

Just gonna... Leave this Green text I saw on /v/ here about how the additude towards gamers have been since the 90s.

90s
>"GAMERS ARE A BUNCH OF NECKBEARD LOSERS WITH NO FRIENDS, THAT'S WHY THEY SPEND THEIR TIME PLAYING VIDEO GAMES ALL DAY."
early mid 2000s 
>"GAMERS ARE VIOLENT PEOPLE WHO ARE BEING BRAINWASHED TO DO VIOLENT THINGS BECAUSE OF VIOLENCE IN VIDEO GAMES. A COUPLE PEOPLE WHO HAPPENED TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES DID SOME VIOLENT THINGS THESE GAMES MUST BE STOPPED."
late 2000s, early 2010s
>"FUCKING GAMERS ARE A BUNCH OF ENTITLED BRATS. WHAT'S THAT? YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY A DEVELOPER MISREPRESENTED/TREATED SOMETHING YOU SPENT MONEY ON AND SUPPORTED AND INVESTED TIME IN? WELL, TOUGH SHIT ENTITLED BABIES YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND *~ART~*"
early 2010s - present day
>"GAMERS ARE A BUNCH OF SEXIST BIGGOTED PIGS. WHAT'S THAT? YOU DISAGREE WITH SOMETHING A WOMAN SAID ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE VIDEO GAME? WOW STOP BEING SO MISOGYNISTIC YOU MANBABY. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE UPSET WITH THE MEDIA? NO THAT CAN'T BE IT, YOU ARE JUST A HATEFUL SPITEFUL VIRGIN."

Judging from my two minutes of research, which was all I could spare on it, I have reached several conclusions, of which all but the last are probably wrong/misguided.1. The allegation that supporters just want to sleep with her is untrue (hopefully). I have mistaken better looking women for men in my peripheral vision. She's less "Marilyn Monroe" and more "Marilyn Manson".2. Feminists rallying to her is stupid.3. This is extraordinarily trivial. It is almost noteworthy how trivial this is, to be getting so much attention.

Because corruption I game journalism and rapid censorship of the truth is trivial, right? Why don't you watch thwnvideos on the first page, it explains why it isn't trivial.

Her basement dweller boyfriend needs to let go...or get a real doll, name it Zoe and work out the angst there. Something like that. What a putz. And oh Internet, you're putzes too for going along with one kiddult's thwarted relationship rage.edit: And before anyone accuses me thus, no I don't want to sleep with the woman. Never even knew who the hell she was until I did about a half hour's worth of background reading on the whole dust-up. Not my type. But yeah, it's rather fucked up to assume that someone defending her must want to stick it in.

Actually the entire thing wasn't started by her boyfriend... Who, she raped. (By her own definition of rape, which, if you look at her tumblr, includes cheating.) And she has not denied that she cheated either - The girlfriend of one of her five fuckbuddies called her out, and her response was "blame him, not me, I'm guiltless here, AND a victim" and didn't apologize.

Ah, Phil Fish. That is a name I haven't heard in a long time. From what I've read, his role in this mess just seems to be one big "LOOK AT ME, I'M IMPORTANT".

What do you think the chances are that Phil Fish Philled Zoe's Fish? ;)

I mean, I know several SJWs who are actually pretty cool beyond being uptight about a few things. Their big focus is on drawing attention to good charities and bad injustices, etc. Maybe I'm just seeing the good side most of the time?

Or maybe I've been exposed to the bad stuff to much. Haha

Damn, that seems like the exact opposite of what SJWs would want.

Zoe Quinn is a third wave feminist SJW. One of us mentality.

thefineyoungcapitalists are second wave feminist, And rivals to Zoe Quinn. TFYC's game jam / charity was already shut down by Zoe, so Her Rebelgamejam with no set date, no set location and no plan other than "Give me monies please"

Attack your enemy until they are destroyed, never mind reason, logic, or rational thought.

God dammit.Well /pol/ and /v/. What do now...

I'd suggest the usual /r/aid tactics, but that would make Zoe look like the victim. Contact Indiegogo and ask them to fix what happened. It is what I'm doing.

I don't get it. Was the charity shut down by SJWs who were running the charity? Or are you saying SJWs pressured the charity into being shut down?

No, they hacked it. :|
