writeswrongs: linawoof: splendidland: thatnerdygamergirl: The man in this image is Veerender Jubbal, an awesome Sikh Canadian Let’s Play Gamer, critic, and outspoken feminist. People photoshopped the image on the right (of him holding an ipad) to look like the image on the left (wearing a suicide vest and holding a quran). The photoshopped image has been picked up by multiple news agencies and distributed as a “selfie of one of the Paris attackers still at large”. It is a selfie of an innocent man who has never been to Paris and was targeted, by all accounts, because he had the *audacity* to be a person of color vocally speaking up against Gamergate. If you see the image on the left circulating, please speak up for Veerender! It really speaks volumes about how blinding islamophobia can be when people would believe the image on the left without even questioning how he’d take a selfie with a book. It really speaks volumes about how awful Gamers and GGers are when they’ll do this kind of stuff with the intent to harm, as well. You guys this is awful if you go to his twitter people have been sending him death threats and he can’t even go outside. This is a form of white supremacist terrorism. Journalists have failed to do their work and shared these shopped images of him as a suspect in the Paris attack and people could physically attack him if he dares to leave his home. Please let people know this is not a factual image and help spare him more abuse.

Guys when male YouTubers sucks at games: He’s only doing it to be funny, so just relax and get off your high horse. Anyways, who cares if he isn’t the best at video games, no one perfect at them, and they’re meant to be fun. Just sit back, relax, and have a good time, that’s all this man wants you to do.

Guys when female YouTubers isn’t completely perfect at games: God, she’s such a fake gamer girl. All she wants is attentions from guys and she’s faking an interest in geek culture to get it. I bet she can’t even name 20 games that aren’t from this generation. She’s not even that funny anyways, and she should just stop pretending. She, and other fake gamer girls, are the reason I have trust issues.

This is not even an exaggeration.

I mean seriously, consider the scenario that has to happen in order for the “fake gamer girl” thing to make sense. A woman would have to first encounter or learn about the gaming community. She would find (in the average or aggregate) a hostile, elitist, corporatist, anti-intellectual, hegemonic group full of angry, petty, whiny, sexist, racist, smug, disgusting, gatekeeping losers. And she would then have to say to herself, “Oh yeah, I gotta get me some of that.”

At which point, despite a total and complete lack of interest in videogames, she invests hundreds or thousands of dollars in games, consoles, peripherals, and materials for other activities like cosplay and streaming. And then she spends the great majority of her leisure time playing games, writing about games, talking about games, making games, making gaming cosplay, going to gaming conventions, writing and drawing fanfiction of games, streaming games, and participating in gaming forums.

She does this not only despite having absolutely no interest in games, but also despite the near-constant barrage of sexist attacks she must deal with on a daily basis. She has to deal with an industry and community that reminds her she is unwelcome at every possible opportunity, from marketing campaigns that assume women don’t play games (or worse, cast them in the role of the nagging girlfriend), to microaggressions in online play, to rape and death threats and even doxxing and swatting.

And some sweaty, pocket-mining basement-dwellers would have you believe that she goes through all of this, spending all this time, money and energy, and enduring all of this harassment and hostility, all without any passion, love or even interest in videogames. And all for what? To “get attention”? Oh yeah. That makes sense. I can definitely see women lining up around the block to get this sweet deal: “Step right up, ladies! For just a few thousand dollars, and the majority of your free time, you too could be eligible for (almost exclusively negative and violent) ATTENTION from angry men and boys without social skills, who believe your only value lies in sex appeal, and who will treat your very existence with suspicion and hostility! Yes, for the mere price of enduring a constant deluge of rape and death threats, you will have access to a steady stream of ATTENTION from the most unpleasant and undesirable people on the planet! You may find it difficult at first to spend so much time and energy faking interest in a hobby you don’t care about at all, but with a reward like ATTENTION from swearing teenagers and smug date-rapists, you can’t afford to pass up this deal of a lifetime!”

I’ve never understood how “casual” is supposed to be an insult

Like ooohh yeah I play video games for fun in my free time you got me

It’s a way to separate “real” gamers from “fake” gamers.

Ah yes, ‘real gamers’. 100% farm raised organic gamers. None of that ‘fake gamer’ high fructose corn syrup allowed
