Intel Study: Diversity and Inclusion in Gaming

[Deleted member 193792]

Snoop's a smart smoker, but this idea that there is 'one establishment' or some higher power writing the script is... meh. That is the punchline of the losers of society. The have nots. Its the same thing as old tribes dancing for the gods to avert disaster, they create something to explain what they can't grasp.

Same thing with social media. Can we, really, blame social media for anything? All it does is magnify our own shitty behaviour on it. Those who post there, ARE the problem. Even if you post positively, you're just another color of ant and the system is that jar being shaken. Its like jumping into a pool of shit and then wondering why it stinks. Snoop would do himself and his community a favor pointing that out... instead of... generating clicks

The internet on its own is not the driver for this. Its our own behaviour and consciousness, not only of today but also historically. Have we learned lessons over time and are we still learning? I really hope so. The internet is just a catalyst and commerce is the gasoline. If you ask me, almost every social platform serves primarily to create friction because that attracts clicks and attention which turns into ad revenue. An economy based on nothing but air that keeps on giving through the power of algorithms. We're learning, and its time to understand that principle and kill it with fire.

Food for thought:

Spoiler

1.)We aren't ants.

2.) I've put black ants and red ants in a jar. They just kill each other, no shaking necessary. Side note, carpenter ants are like loner bosses that hate everyone.

I'd caution you against using anything in the insect or generalized animal world for applicability to human society.

The game industry isn't that diverse to begin with. A 2019 Game Industry survey. 83% of the Industry Identified as White, 73% Male, 60% No-Children (avg age 36), 74% No-Disability. Games are going to be influenced by those viewpoints of those making the decisions and creating them.

Depends a lot on which segment of the gaming market you are polling.

if you poll Candy Crush users you're going to end up believing the average gamer is a middle aged woman.

I'd like to see this study for it's contextual value.

I've always known I wasn't just average.

Appreciated. Looks PC gaming centered, which isn't bad in this case. Rather on target.

Hi,
Or a child microsoft still pushing that silly game lol

Can I just clarify what you mean. Do you think I am being toxic? As it looks as though that's what you're implying.

That aside, multiplayer gaming can at times be toxic. I played World of Warcraft for 8 years or so, and people can be brutal, same with Battlefield 2 - without even knowing anything about you whatsoever. In BF2, you only had to get in a helicopter that someone else wanted and you receive a tirade of abuse - and if you die, well you might as well log out and find another server to play on, and if you can't let that go over your head, you're in for a rough ride...

If you cannot get over it, they need a therapist.

That is why we had Mr Druckman of Naughty Dog (one of the most renowned studios on the planet) consult the great specialist of all times, Frau Sarkisjan, on what to do, to do better
And so they did, I assume.
.
I was told TLOU2 is a blast, did you like it?

Do you realize that the whole "reflects their views" is un-falsifiable?
And do you realize that it means it's not a theory, but some sort of religion?

Who had rolled out Sims series, that game where 90%+ of games were women?

You say that like it makes it acceptable to be a total POS online.

It really doesn't.

 

[Hemmingstamp]

When gaming I don't want to be identified as anything other than another gamer. (A crap one at that)

I take it you don't play RPGs...

Nah. Without wanting to offend those who do play them, to me, they look as interesting as watching paint dry.

That's all good. Just pointing out the obvious I guess lol.

Blue paint or red paint?

I find the fine nuances of sheen during the process to be staggeringly poetic.

Elephant's breath or pebble are my preference, although pebble is slighly harder to wipe finger marks from. Must be a chemical compound type thingy.

It's no that complicated, i don't want to hear them i mute them, it's that simple. And if the game don't support muting a player then that's just terrible game design.

I beg to differ; upon entering Barrens in World of Warcraft for the first time I found the zone chat to be intellectually stimulating. There were many discussions about our national treasure Carlos Ray Norris and his amazing deeds that were extremely informative. Also many players were kind enough to alert their fellow players of their mom's promiscuity among the WoW community.

While true, toxic conmunity is still toxic. That's all I was getting at.

Well maybe it will toughen their skin a little, far worse things in life. When did people get so soft ?. Then again if you\some one thinks that way move on to some thing else.

 

[R-T-B]

Toxicity breeds toxicity, not "tougher people" IMO, but we are straying from the topic.

I don't agree with that. Some one doesn't live up to certain expectation of ones character base role and the next thing you know they are getting the "KYS" then some one does it. What does that imply to that sort of thinking. He didn't have tough enough skin? Same for all the crap that goes on Homophobic, Racism and just being a shitty person in general. Turning it off for ones self doesn't mean others don't absorb the behavior. They might just be embolden by it i.e. "Oh hey I made this person leave lets do it when ever someone does something we don't like"
