This is a better-formed video than most videos from the left, but it still falls short and ultimately crashes and burns because of innate leftist dogma - the idea that everything is about "sides". I don't know if they realize it, but they're still falling into some pretty hefty identitarian bullshit. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they're simply pointing toward a specific group of people (identified solely by the actions and mentalities listed in the video), and not actually everyone who visits 4chan/Zig Forums/etc - but on the chance he is indeed making swathing generalizations, let's deconstruct it a bit.
Firstly, it assumes that those who may be making certain arguments presented are (perhaps unknowingly) falling into the trappings of postmodernism - that truth is what you make of it, etc. The thing is, postmodernism is rejected here probably more than anywhere else. Sure, I've had to argue with some of you faggots that the truth is objective and not merely up to subjective view point - but it's still one of the only places I can make that argument, and have some degree of agreement.
It also makes a lot of false equivalencies. Take, for example, the idea of "killing strippers in video games" vs "having gay romance options in video games". Presented at face value, I'd say they are the same - they're merely choices in a video game put there for the sake of artistic freedom, and nothing more. However, they used an example of Mass Effect 3 - a game notoriously rife with shitty writers who outright fetishize homosexuality. Sure, some people might still whine about MUH HOMOGAYS, but a lot less people would care if it was a new IP, rather than existing one with new writers brought on to shit things up. Conversely, the "Hitman stripper controversy" was basically a completely made up nontroversy via Anita Foreskin's lack of insight. The entire segment that the strippers appear in aren't targets of the game at all and are more or less meant to drive the plot home with regards to a shitty evil manager. Sure, you can kill them, but it doesn't affect the game, plot, or anything at all. For a game that's about freedom in approach, this really isn't surprising. A better equivalence might be something like Duke Nukem 3D - the game is a linear 3D shooter with minimal emphasis on "freedom in approach"; so having the ability to kill the strippers there would actually be a pretty valid argument. Still, for the majority of us, I think it's safe to say we generally value freedom from interference in game development most of all.
The whole thing falls apart if you actually do believe in something, and aren't some retard looking to win argument (IE: myself, and many other anons who firmly believe in trying to better mankind). Still, an interesting look at deconstructing the doomer types that absolutely do exist around here. I argue with you faggots every day, and your kind are unbearable swine.
