Vidya is enjoyed by children and manchildren. And just like toys, it's just a want, not a need that is as important as food and water.

Congrats, you just wrote off 90% of the media and the internet. Obviously any kind of computer press, tech sites, consumer-issues, heck let's just throw sports in there too, doesn't matter since its for the most part just want, not a need thats as important as food and water.

Also the argument that "vidya is just for kids and manchildren" is nonsense and fundamentally flawed.

Either it's just for "kids and manchildren" (in which case: Who cares, let them have it. There wouldn't be an issue.) or vidya is "for everybody" and it does matter, since it's an industry bigger than Hollywood, with a gross revenue of tens of billions of dollars.

Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

The World's First Bored Man invented entertainment so he and his fellow man wouldn't go insane from boredom. Do we truly need sanity though?

Lol vidya is not culture

It's a toxic, women hating culture according to some. And they need to change so can get rid of the current rape culture and the war on women, would be their argument.

And what is culture, exactly... Are comics culture? Movies? Theatre? It all depends on your taste, doesn't it? Vidya is certainly consumed more than anything in the culture section of your local paper, which would mean it has a bigger impact, wouldn't it?

Doesn't really matter if it is or isn't culture according to your taste or mine. I was merely pointing out that "vidya doesn't matter since its not important like food" is a dumb argument. I mean we can all agree on the fact that whether we have something to eat or drink is more important than 95% of what passes for news these days.

Why do you hate women so much?

The point is that there is no real argument. It's just a first world problem complete with paranoia that evil sjws will ruin vidya and witchhunt gamers

Actually no, average gamers are in their thirties. Divided by sex it's pretty much a 50/50 split (though according to some studies more women game then men) and gamers are now a majority of the population. Over half of the U.S. Regularly play games: http://www.theesa.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/ESA-Essential-Facts-2015.pdf

And regardless, even if you were right about games being something for kids and neckbeards... Who makes those games? Market them and sell them? Hundreds of thousands of people get their living from games in one way or another, so it is more important than "LOL! Bronies!"

Tell us more.
 
Zoe Quinn is cool as fuck, thought so before GamerGate, think so even more after. I sat here for a few minutes trying to think of witty insults to hurl at GamerGate but none of them could really capture just what vile, putrid shit the whole movement is. There's nothing funny about what they're doing, nothing just, they're just being absolute human garbage.

The problem with that argument, is that there's no shortage of people, primarily from parts of the press and from outside the industry, who preach how games need to be more inclusive, how antiwomen the culture is, blah blah, toxic masculinity, so apparently it's not just paranoia and the fever dreams of pimply teens.

Just look at what happened in publishing in the last decade, since SJW started to "diversify" that industry and declare things to be "problematic".

Diversification is not a problem. It's progress
