NBC made a video titled "How Gamers Are Facilitating The Rise Of The Alt-Right" accusing gamers of being racist and sexist, They brought up Discord and Gamergate, anything they possibly could. Fact is NBC made a hit piece that failed miserably and they should be showcased for the fools they are. And this isn't even the first time they've been caught puling this sort of dumb crap, this is just one of several.

That is right! Mass-media is just old, dying elite with left-right system, that doesn't have masses support. Sadly people still believe what propaganda these idiots are spitting.

Trump speaks/works against them only for sheer populism. He doesn't give a shit about their actual moral state. He'd the first to serve them if it would have meant more popularity for him.
The only problem with Trump is that the only difference between him and my morning turd is that I could drain the latter.

Do you want to know another differences between Trump and your Morning Turd? Trump Has Billions of Dollars, runs the most powerful nation the world has ever seen but he, in fact, is your Commander and Chief.

Yeah, well, see, that's the part, which, despite true, I don't give a single fuck about. I'm a free man, I do whatever the hell I want, even if I die trying, so you can be sure I'm not intimated by, let alone obey to power and/or money.
On the moral side, Trump is a piece of shit. So am I (at least that's how I feel on occasion), but it won't prevent me to stand against nearly everything he represents.
[Also he isn't my Commander-in-Chief, as I'm not a US citizen. My country's military is laughable at best.]

The old media isn't gonna loosen their grip anytime soon either which is always scary since they got friends everywhere to dictate and control the flow of content and information as has been thrown around for quite a few years now

Haha, this is the kind of things that make me wonder if I should just delete the gamer tag I put in my profile description, why bother with the label when by just using it I am just asking for trouble, you know what, quoting the words of the biggest nerd I know of

Hit pieces only come when there is a threat.
I feel that old media is threatened by anything new media, and if video games have to be the scapegoat, then whatever (in their mindset).
HA, discord being racist! Where would lines ever be drawn? "Books are Elitist", "Music is BrainWashing!", "News outlets are all propaganda!".
What ever happened to accountability?

I get this sorta dumb shit being said by randos on the internet but when it's supposed to be actual journalism and professionals then where do we draw the line for this sorta shit ya know?

I agree 109%, but I feel like a lot of our recent problems in all are because of "putting people on a pedestal" and expecting too much out of them.
I have a lot of respect for various journalists and opinion piece authors, but in the end they are just people, and everyone needs to understand that.
Think about your best and worst self, and expect that from most people.

Gamers have a pretty open platform to use their free speech. I think they view this as a threat because we can share information between each other. They would love to censor ALL. Fuck em. Great rant, good share, GAME ON. RESPECT

If you check out events regarding GamerGate, this makes a lot of sense on a level that is actually worrying.
There is a subtype of gamers which is okay with being shitty humans, either because of the lack of outsid experience about the world, or the necessary intelligence to comprehend it, or maybe both.
While the responsibility of the media is also massive, I'd suggest not to sweep this problem under the rug. GamerGate was disgusting for nearly everyone being involved and highlighted some serious issues that actually lead to the culture war, of which the alt-right is a manifestation.

Off topic. It's good to see you've adopted Steemit. Do check out @dlive and @dtube. Someone like you will easily moneytize in no time. Lovely Youtube work around solution.

There's isn't a ton of gaming and pop culture stuff on here. It's content most welcome as seen by your upvotes. As an early adopter, you'll do great before others jump on board. I appreciate there's a bit to learn but with all the payouts, sure makes it worth it with all the demonetization going around. All the best.
