That's it I'm done. I'm fucking done. I don't want to be on this ride anymore, this is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

This has gone past the level of being a plain old "SJW," and has become the musings of a jen-yoo-eye'n sociopath with no grounding in the real world whatsoever. We are long past the point of ever listening to a word that this mongol blithers out of his disgusting maw, let alone taking him seriously.

>>277284842
I'm convinced it all goes back to the fact that video games are not yet on the same 'level' as movies and books. To us, yes, but to the majority of the public, including the media, hell no.
Just look at The Interview. People were demanding for this film, which at the end of a day is a comedy about a plot to kill someone, to come out as a principle of free speech and not to be silenced. Just a month or so prior, GTA5 gets pulled from some shelves in Australia because of some bullshit reasoning and no one really cares.
This makes video games the PERFECT place for SJWs to plant their ideas and begin their little revolution. If they tried pulling shit like petitions against movies and books, they are either laughed out or completely ignored, because of how those media are treated. You try convincing everyone that adult human beings will develop violent tendencies because they watched The Raid or Transformers or something and everyone will think you're nuts. But because it's video games, they can get away with this shit. I know I was a bit circular with my argument, but I hope I got the point across.

>>277284958

Yes, in a fighting contest violence solves conflict.

Most SJW sound like they're grasping at straws in their critiques, but McIntosh is just way beyond that.

I get the hate for this but I do think it's interesting that videogames (heck, games in general) most often rely on conflict in order to be enjoyable.

I'm not saying as a general rule of thumb it's not true (freely admit that all the games I enjoy most involve conflict). I'm not even saying this is a bad thing. It just means that it's slightly refreshing to play a game that doesn't rely on having to shoot/beat the shit out of someone I guess.

What games don't? The entire point of a game is conflict. Sports, board games, hide and seek, whatever you want. A game is a contest.

> You try convincing everyone that adult human beings will develop violent tendencies because they watched The Raid or Transformers or something and everyone will think you're nuts.

Although passed uncut for UK cinemas in December 1971, British authorities considered the sexual violence in the film to be extreme. In March 1972, during the trial of a fourteen-year-old male accused of the manslaughter of a classmate, the prosecutor referred to A Clockwork Orange, suggesting that the film had a macabre relevance to the case.[40] The film was also linked to the murder of an elderly vagrant by a 16-year-old boy in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, who pleaded guilty after telling police that friends had told him of the film "and the beating up of an old boy like this one." Roger Gray QC, for the defence, told the court that "the link between this crime and sensational literature, particularly A Clockwork Orange, is established beyond reasonable doubt".[41] The press also blamed the film for a rape in which the attackers sang "Singin' in the Rain" as "Singin' in the Rape".[42] Christiane Kubrick, the director's wife, has said that the family received threats and had protesters outside their home.[43]

Subsequently, Kubrick asked Warner Brothers to withdraw the film from British distribution. In response to allegations that the film was responsible for copycat violence Kubrick stated: "To try and fasten any responsibility on art as the cause of life seems to me to put the case the wrong way around. Art consists of reshaping life, but it does not create life, nor cause life. Furthermore, to attribute powerful suggestive qualities to a film is at odds with the scientifically accepted view that, even after deep hypnosis in a posthypnotic state, people cannot be made to do things which are at odds with their natures."[44]

Games are an interactive medium. You need an incentive to interact with it and put up with its shit for hours and hours. Some games get by purely by offering enjoyable aesthetic experiences, but you can only have so much of that, so most games are based on winning (beating the game, winning matches, etc.). Winning requires some form of conflict, even if it's not violent.

Conflict is literally the basis for every story ever. You cannot have a story without having conflict (well, not an interesting story anyway).

I can't think of a single game that does this. In no civilization game is there anything to suggest you're exploiting the environment, quite the contrary actually since you have the same tiles for thousands of years so if you didn't utilize them correctly you wouldn't keep getting the resources, and i've never seen a game where you can frack, or strip mine, or do something actually harmful to the environment.

Unless the very act of using resources is exploitation, in which case eating, drinking, and having a roof above your head all make you a terrible person.

Games that are both enjoyable and don't involve conflict are still the exception to the rule, and it's cool to have stuff that breaks the mold.

>>277287651 i'd still say those games are maybe less well represented overall. sims, puzzles, more "experience-based" games, like Journey or something don't sell as well as the latewt CoD. these also happen to be the genres of gaming most often associated with female gamers who are kinda vilified for playing them by some folks

relax. Lots of people have terrible opinions. Just because one asshole decides to make his terrible opinions public on Twitter doesn't mean anyone's going to take your video games away.

This man is insane. Doesn't he realize that human existence relies on the struggle, relies on conflict to help us grow? In this universe, if we don't face conflict, if we don't challenge ourselves, if we don't overcome our struggles, we will never grow and become stronger, smarter, and better individuals for it. By removing obstacles and conflict from ones life, you weaken them and cause them stagnation.

Consider a child spoiled by their parents, never having to do chores, earn his/her keep or face the concept of rejection. When this person inevitably moves on to the real world, they will be woefully under prepared, weak, and more than likely set up for failure. A child who had to do chores, who had to earn their keep (allowance for example, or a job), who had to realize life does not revolve around them, would be ready to tackle life's challenges like a mature adult.

When it comes to SJWs, I agree with the fight to end institutional racism and sexism. But many, especially those vocal on the internet, take things to far. They seek to remove the obstacles from life that make us stronger as individuals. They are the spoiled children who don't realize that a certain amount of conflict and struggle is necessary for us to grow and mature and to ultimately survive in this world.
