How do SJWs get positions of power when they fly off the handle so readily?
They're narcissists, and, as such, they only
pretend to be something they're not to advance their own careers: caring, concerned, 'good people'.
This is hugely-important to understand:
these people don't truly believe in the causes they espouse, but sell a false agenda in return for money, power and control over others.
This leads to textbook cases of hypocritical projection: such as this woman condemning people who have affairs within relationships and marriage whilst doing it herself.
When they're shown for the hypocrites they are, they respond with narcissistic fury. The false nice persona comes down and you end up with vicious ranting.
Read Fish's rant, and some of the others involved in this, and see the contempt they have for the gaming audience, and then you can understand the superiority complex they have. They think they are better than those they condescend to - intellectually and socially superior - and, as such, demand the peasants dance to their whims.
Quinn, particularly, is arrogant and dismissive about her supposed audience, and obviously, if they hate the culture and audience so much, then you have to question their true motivations for being there.
The only logical explanation: Quinn is a utterly-self-interested, and she sees within gaming a way to exploit a sub-set of the audience's outrage for monetary gain - the female feminist market who have been trained by their education to have a Pavlovian response to any sign of a women explaining away her inefficiency, incompetence, and desire to palm of the hard work onto men around her by blaming the phantom patriarchy. Ring the bell, and they slobber outrage due to their Cultivated Sensibility, and will give you money over fist.
She's a classic huckster, riding into town with the Carnival, contemptuous of the rubes and yokels, looking to fleece them.
To which I say, who the fuck cares? If she wants to cynically-exploit the herd of Feminists for personal gain and screw them over, why should we care? These women so indoctrinated through education to be incapable of critical thinking and independent though, to the extent they believe their thought is brilliantly-unique and insightful - though they're always rehashed talking points and concepts every other feminist is discussing, never exploring new thought that might risk making them unpopular.
I mean, fuck, I'm 43. I went through University over 20 years ago, and the majority of what these women constantly harp on about was being harped on about back then. Other than 'privilege' and 'micro-aggressions', they're playing the same old songs that they've been strumming since the 60's.
They're uncritical thinkers, and, as such, they get the exploitation they deserve.
I'll throw the fucking gaming audience under the bus as well. If websites are condescending to you, and deliberately trying to piss you off so you just have to furiously-comment on their page at being constantly told what A Bad Person you are, then, for fuck's sake,
stop going to their fucking website. If you want SJW shit out of gaming media, don't click on it, don't link to it, don't comment on it, just understand the website is trying to emotionally-manipulate you for its own financial gain, and
get your information elsewhere. If the clicks aren't there, the advertisers aren't there, and these morons lose their jobs.
All gamers have to do is resist the urge to get pissed off, and comment on the pages. It's that simple. You could halve the audience of Kotaku or Polygon in a week if men simply stopped going there, but, no, they're like a dog that keeps getting repeatedly-swatted on the nose with a rolled up newspaper, constantly returning for another smack.
Media flows on outrage now, and, as the modern journalist seems to just sit on their arse in front of a computer and tries to make an opinion piece based upon something they read online, between bites of a Cronut. As such, anyone with a contentious opinion is simply offering them free content, and, as such,
action should be more financially-lucrative than
reaction.
If they want to callously-exploit Sensibility for profit, then Nick Denton and other media magnets should put people like us on the payroll to maintain a steady stream of outrageous thought behind a plausible-deniability wall of fake blogs, tumblrs and twitters. We can guarantee outraged news story after new story for the mainstream sites, the Jezebel drones never knowing we're all working for the same boss, and the audience can jerk theselves off in a frenzy of outrage and moral superiority and make everyone but them very, very rich out of it. Why the fuck do we give it away for free?
I can see the obvious money-making potential in a Gaming Site that sells itself as free of SJW thought.
