  • I don’t disagree with you but I feel that it is important to recognize and call out the misogyny element in this story. The gaming community has a pervasive sexism problem that’s normalized, and that part is unique in that it all comes from men.

    I have only ever played three games online. The first was Final Fantasy XI, and I was part of a group/guild with nice people. It was fun!

    The next was Team Fortress 2 because my husband wanted me to play with him. The vitriol and misogyny hurled at me over voice chat after two matches made me never play again.

    The last was Destiny, and I turned off voice chat completely.








  • I feel like US telecommunication networks were always vulnerable because they were always intentionally insecure so that the US government could illegally wiretap and spy on its own people. Then they later passed laws that conveniently threw the 4th amendment in the trash so it would all be legal.

    But I’m sure the new US president will get right on it and appoint someone like Elon Musk to handle cybersecurity and intelligence, because he is “very good with the cyber”.

    God, I want off this fucking nightmare train.
