>used to have hate-love relationship with Tim
Loved his work, hated his opinions cus I was much further from the center back when I found him hehe

2018-07-05 04:30:22 UTC  

Pretty sure his work helped me get from the bad influences that were pulling more to the extremes

2018-07-05 04:31:29 UTC  

Well, guess I hated his work at times when it didn't fit my narrative

2018-07-05 04:32:03 UTC  

how can you have a narrative as an individual

2018-07-05 04:32:28 UTC  

I think we were all in a position where we couldve gone off the deepend, but lucky enough to not get dragged in

2018-07-05 04:32:49 UTC  

define narrative

2018-07-05 04:32:51 UTC  

I wasn't individual back then..I was pretty partisan

2018-07-05 04:33:00 UTC  

the group opinion was my opinion

2018-07-05 04:33:35 UTC  

maybe narrative isn't the best word, but you get my drift don't you

2018-07-05 04:35:23 UTC  

AGENCY

2018-07-05 04:35:34 UTC  

holy fuck that took me a while to remember

2018-07-05 04:35:59 UTC  

agency is the capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices. By contrast, structure is those factors of influence (such as social class, religion, gender, ethnicity, ability, customs, etc.) that determine or limit an agent and his or her decisions.

2018-07-05 04:37:07 UTC  

worldview

2018-07-05 04:41:40 UTC  

yes basically, i had no agency of my own, literally sheeple

2018-07-05 04:43:53 UTC  

to be fair, i wouldve been an sjw by now if it werent for 4chan

2018-07-05 04:44:34 UTC  

i notice all the indoctrination technique used by my school

2018-07-05 04:45:00 UTC  

Well I would probably still be a libertarian socialist if it wasn't for sargon

2018-07-05 04:45:24 UTC  

yea he's been pretty good influence as well

2018-07-05 04:46:21 UTC  

I think I actually found him because he called out someone I watched

2018-07-05 04:46:35 UTC  

sargon is a little bit up his own ass but the people he is criticizing is much worst, so he gets a pass.

2018-07-05 04:47:21 UTC  

not perfect by all means, but he was very moderate and sane voice in the mess I was in

2018-07-05 04:48:07 UTC  

Is it safe to say that if it werent for gamer gate many of us wouldnt be here?

2018-07-05 04:48:48 UTC  

Like i wouldnt have founded Tim if it werent for Sargon, and i wouldnt have found Sargon if it werent for the gamergate thing

2018-07-05 04:49:36 UTC  

I had no clue what gamergate was back then

2018-07-05 04:50:07 UTC  

...Did y'all live in the same place or something growing up? I thought it was always pretty prevalent that people didn't quite understand society correctly. Or maybe it's from accidentally moving from the boonies to higher than expected suburbia as kid (then out of region for college), on my side.

2018-07-05 04:50:20 UTC  

I was forced to learn when every gaming publication, podcast, and my coworkers all universally agreed that gamers are evil and harass women.

2018-07-05 04:50:33 UTC

2018-07-05 04:50:44 UTC  

I just wanted to play video games 😦

2018-07-05 04:51:11 UTC  

all of a sudden im seeing a plethora of news article calling the games that i love 'a shit'

2018-07-05 04:51:29 UTC  

I knew only basic of goobergate and what was going on but didn't care much since I underestimated how bad it was at first

2018-07-05 04:51:49 UTC  

Well I am like 17 and barely touch video games so I never ended up caring about gamergate at all

2018-07-05 04:52:28 UTC  

Be glad you didnt experience it, although it was enlightening, its was also incredibly stupid

2018-07-05 04:52:58 UTC  

Thinking of it, I was pretty insulated from the whole ordeal at first, because I was never much into social media so only heard about it from the original /v/ threads and stuff before mods banned it

2018-07-05 04:53:42 UTC  

gamergate resulted in me and a majority of 4channer beginning to question the media

2018-07-05 04:54:03 UTC  

because young me assumed that the media is always right

2018-07-05 04:54:18 UTC  

When you've been called a racist your whole life just because of where you grew up, you get pretty inured to this stuff.

2018-07-05 04:55:59 UTC  

GG achieved its goal of instituting ethics policies at game journo sites but certainly did not achieve the secondary goal of changing the minds of those within the industry away from the ideas they bandwagoned on to.

2018-07-05 04:56:08 UTC  

they doubled down over the next years

2018-07-05 04:56:10 UTC  

hard

2018-07-05 04:57:09 UTC  

It doesn't help that basically every major US game developer is in either Seattle or somewhere in California

2018-07-05 04:58:47 UTC  

I think Bethesda and Ubisoft is on the East Coast.
