How Gamers Are Facilitating The Rise Of The Alt-Right | THINK

[QUOTE=Duck M.;52849584]Two sides of the same coin. While the video isn't the most well-informed and isn't of the highest quality, that doesn't excuse people from giving the same lack of thoughtful consideration in their response.[/QUOTE] Yeah, its rather stupid that so many people didn't actually check that shit. I hadn't watched the video yet when I saw that scrolling through the thread, and literally the first thing I did was check the timestamp, then check around it where I found the real dumb diagram.

[QUOTE=Duck M.;52849150]This is embarrassing. How many of you guys actually bought into thinking that this was legitimate? I get the feeling that nobody actually watched the video considering that this blatantly fake diagram is supposed to be only 21 seconds into it.[/QUOTE] I think most people realize the chart was fake, and simply were wondering why the creator decided to put the things they put on it. I can name only one post that might have thought the thing was real.

[QUOTE=Firgof Umbra;52849622]All it means is that people trust other people on Facepunch more than they do outside sources.[/QUOTE] Largely unsurprising, especially if you check people's join/post date. Some people have literally grown up/matured (to some extent) on Facepunch. Like it or not, we're a village, and people trust those around them more than those they don't "know"

[QUOTE=Duck M.;52849567]That isn't the point. The point is that so many people on here took something so blatantly fake that was so easily verifiable, timestamp and all, as fact and ran with it, allowing it to form their perception of the video that they evidently didn't watch. And this is what happened on facepunch, which is usually at least somewhat above the bar for being thorough and rational. It doesn't really give me confidence that people have the desire or even the ability to have any sort of skepticism or discretion in regards to absurd pieces of misinformation, which is a huge problem when we want to have an informed discussion on hard topics like this. This is an excellent demonstration as to why all forms of fake news and manufactured outrage are so effective. People don't care about what's actually true or real, only what gives them the most compelling sense of righteousness.[/QUOTE] I checked it before I posted, but I take any chance I can to reference Always Sunny.

[QUOTE=Ridge;52846249]Did Glenn Beck produce this video? [img]https://i.imgur.com/FUG0rKPh.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Why does that look so good? I mean it's still insane, but it's also pretty nice to look at. [editline]3rd November 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Trilby Harlow;52846754]never thought i'd see undertale directly linked to nazism. But here we are. I want to get off 2017's wild ride [...][/QUOTE] [QUOTE=CyclonatorZ;52849370]Holy shit. I didn't even notice fucking Sans there. This diagram gets even more and more amazing every time I look at it.[/QUOTE] I could be mistaken about this, but I think it's because that's the avatar of a notorious Twitter SJW (not using the term lightly).

[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;52847444]diagram is fake brah, it doesn't show up like that in the vid That flashing between the game and the nazi march is bs though, reminds me of the clockwork orange scene. P stupid of NBC to do this, at least we can take solace in the knowledge that in a few years they'll probably close from not having enough viewers. [editline]2nd November 2017[/editline] i cant find anything linking this matt to the image? Where dya get that link?[/QUOTE] thats his face in the center, i've seen it a couple of times passed around [img]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DCX2q8gUwAAKD9v.jpg[/img]

I remember encountering something about this on twitter.

[QUOTE=Boaraes;52843651][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/Xc123Yw.jpg[/IMG] What did they mean by this?[/QUOTE] The Elder Scrolls + Fallout = Todd Howard = Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.

[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;52849545][t]https://i.imgur.com/qh5ORGQ.png[/t] The real version is similarly asinine.[/QUOTE] Discord is basically the same as slack Cept slack is targeted at software businesses. Let's blow this case open and trace the alt right problem back to it's source: software qa testers. Q = 17 A = 1 Q+A=17+1=18=AH=Adolf Hitler.

I really stopped caring about these news items like these and instead just laugh about it as if it was a parody on gaming as a whole. The news covering the game industry really shows what kind of false information you can spread by having no clue on the subject. All they know is that Discord is related to gaming so that obviously means all these violent games are made by and for the alt-right. :dogcited:

I'm assuming others did the same.

[QUOTE=LeonS;52850667]so youre saying you're a lazy person who does no actual fact checking? even just skimming through the video with the preview thumbnails would let you see that in less than 10 seconds.[/QUOTE] Yes, that is exactly what I was saying. Thank you for this post that you put thought into. Tip: this isn't a debate, it's a casual discussion. I watched the video, watching it made me want to stop watching it, so I didn't keep watching it. I then saw the image of the graph and asked why there were wrestlers in it. I didn't make a claim about the video or its producers based on the image, I didn't use it to make a statement about affairs, I just made some comments that didn't even implicate the original video.

[QUOTE=e_k_M;52850772]Yup that’s him[/QUOTE] Sounds like the type of bullshit excuse that will allow him to keep working and get support by his clique. What an asshole.

They have it all wrong, I became a gamer after some guy in my neo nazi grouping showed me his Gameboy Advance.
